Hannah's POV:

I’d been watching them for days now. Maria and Lenora. Two people who had no business being allies, now glued together like shadows. Every time I walked into a room, their voices would fall into silence, their eyes flickering with that guilty brightness. And every time, Maria would fix that sugary smile on her face, pretending as though nothing had happened.

I wasn’t fooled.

Maria had never been the type to waste her time with anyone who couldn’t serve her purpose. And Lenora… Lenora had nothing in common with Maria. They both pretended otherwise, but I’d seen enough to know there was no love lost between them. So why were they suddenly whispering like schoolgirls plotting mischief?

One evening, I entered the family lounge quietly. They hadn’t noticed me yet. Maria leaned close to Lenora, her hand cupped around her mouth as she whispered. Lenora’s expression twisted with uncertainty, but she nodded along anyway.

The moment Maria caught sight of me, her posture snapped up

  • After Divorcing My Ex-Husband, I became His Boss   Chapter 146

    Hannah’s POV:The morning sun filtered through the tall windows, spilling softly across the bed where Adam and I were still tangled together beneath the sheets. I didn’t stir at first, sleep clung to me lazily but Adam shifted beside me, reaching for his phone when it began to ring.He answered without getting up, his arm still resting and rubbing on my soft back. “Good morning,” he said. “What is going on lawyer?”I stayed quiet, listening. It must be very important if the lawyer had called this early in the morning.There was a pause, then his expression tightened just slightly.“The police have Filed the case officially?” he repeated. “Listed Hannah as a suspect?”Another pause.“So we have to go in today?”He sat up now, leaning against the headboard. “Alright. You said you’re coming over first?”He glanced at me, then nodded into the phone. “We’re home. Come straight here.”When he ended the call, he turned to me. I met his gaze calmly, already knowing what was coming.“They’ve

  • After Divorcing My Ex-Husband, I became His Boss   Chapter 145

    Hannah's POV:Outside the station, the lawyer went his way after Adam told him he would contact him later to prepare statements and hearing for us. He nodded and left.Adam then got a passerby to help bring our car over to where we were so as to avoid the reporters seeing us. He paid the person and soon the car arrived. He directed me in and started the engine.The car glided through the road, buildings blurring by as we drove past. Adam drove me to his place instead of mine. I noticed it immediately but I didn’t question it. “I don’t want you being alone tonight,” Adam said calmly, his eyes fixed on the road. “And we need to figure out how to clear your name.”Truth was, I didn’t want to be alone either. Staying alone in my room, figuring things out myself wasn't as appealing as being with Adam. Right now his presence alone was already very comforting.Everything had spiraled too fast. Clearing my name wouldn’t be easy, and we both knew we needed clear heads.Halfway there, my phon

  • After Divorcing My Ex-Husband, I became His Boss   Chapter 144

    Hannah’s POV:Stepping out of Uncle Chen’s house felt like walking out of a bad dream I was still trying to decipher.The evening air hit my face, cool but suffocating, as if it carried the weight of everything that had just happened inside those walls. My legs felt like they moved on their own as I was a bit lost in my head trying to figure all this out. Adam’s hand was firm around mine, anchoring me, pulling me forward.We reached the car in silence.Neither of us spoke as Adam opened the door for me and I slid into the passenger seat. My hands moved as I buckled my seatbelt. Adam got into the driver’s seat, started the engine, and the familiar hum of the car filled the tense space between us.Just as he was about to pull away, a sudden knock sounded against my window.I flinched a bit, caught by surprise by the unexpected sound.I caught my breath and steadied myself. I turned sharply toward the sound and I saw a recognizable face.Josh.He stood just outside the car, his brows dra

  • After Divorcing My Ex-Husband, I became His Boss   Chapter 143

    Uncle Chen’s POV:The looks on their faces still replayed in my mind like a beautifully directed film. All the images still vividly displayed on my mind as I recollected the events.Hannah.And her precious boyfriend.Shock had frozen them in place the moment the truth unfolded before their eyes. Their confidence evaporated. Their arrogance shattered. In that moment, they finally understood something important.They had never been players in this game.They were merely pieces.They truly believed they had cornered me with their clumsy little scheme. Fake documents. A staged bar meeting. A forced confrontation meant to pressure me into making mistakes.How laughable.All the while, they were the ones walking blindly into the trap I had laid long before they ever suspected me.Now my dear little niece was officially linked to a murder.A stain that would follow her everywhere.I smiled.A mastermind doesn’t rush. A mastermind watches patiently as others ruin themselves.Maria, my daught

    Hannah’s POV:Slow clapping echoed from the hallway.Each clap felt deliberate, mocking, slicing into the air of the room like a knife. My stance stiffened just as I saw her.Maria stepped fully into the sitting room, her hands coming together in applause, a slow smile curving her lips. Adam and I turned from her to the man standing beside her.Stiles.He stood close to her, an easy grin on his face, like he was enjoying a private joke no one else was in on.“Surprise, surprise.” Maria teased.She stopped clapping and tilted her head at me. “Oh, Hannah,” she said sweetly. “You always think you’re so smart. So cunning. But really, you’re just… obvious.”She walked over and stood beside Uncle Chen, resting a hand on his shoulder possessively. He smiled at her, pride glowing in his eyes.“Your little phone call trick,” Maria continued, “leaving your door open so I could overhear you talking about selling your shares.” She chuckled softly. “You really thought that would make me panic and

  • After Divorcing My Ex-Husband, I became His Boss   Chapter 141

    Hannah’s POV:Uncle Chen’s words still echoed in my head even after the call had ended.Did you really think your little plan would work?His words repeated over and over again like a bell ringing in my head.The calm certainty in his voice terrified me more than the threat itself. He hadn’t just discovered our plan—he had dismantled it effortlessly. And now Mike’s life hung in the balance because of it.I turned to Adam, my chest tight, my thoughts racing. “We have to go in.”Adam ran a hand through his dark hair, his jaw clenched. “Yes,” he said slowly, “but walking in blindly is reckless. If we step into his house, we’re on his turf. The power will be completely in his hands.”I nodded, swallowing hard. “I know. We need something—anything—that will stop him from making rash decisions.”“Yes,” Adam agreed. “Something that serves as a threat. Something to keep him in check.”And then it hit me.My eyes lit up. “I know what we can do.”I reached into my bag and pulled out my phone.Ad
