Contract bride: from contract wife to his obsession chapter sixty
Ava walked back to the car with slow, heavy steps.Her mind was still filled with everything that had happened inside the Lin residence.Ava opened the passenger door and got inside to see Elias who had been waiting.The moment he saw her expression, he knew something had gone wrong."What happened?" He turned towards her and asked.Ava shut the door and leaned back against the seat.For a moment, she said nothing, just looking exhausted, angry and deeply hurt."Rose refused to step down."Elias's expression hardened. "Did the will make you the CEO.""It did....but my father added a clause." She let out a bitter sigh then turned toward him and explained everything.Telling him how her father had given her the highest shares in Lin Industries, making her the rightful CEO, but had also stated that Rose would temporarily remain in charge until Ava learned everything about the family business and Rose was satisfied that she was ready to take over."And you know what she said?"Elias g

Ava stared at Rose and for few seconds, she couldn't find the right words. Rose's last question continued to echo inside her head.What if I am never satisfied?"So that's your plan?" Ava said with a low voice slowly clenching her fists."What plan?" Rose raised an eyebrow."You know exactly what I'm talking about." Ava replied and stepped closer. "My father named me the majority shareholder and the rightful CEO of Lin Industries." She pointed toward the document the lawyer had left behind."The clause says you are supposed to manage the company temporarily not take it away from me." She said in one breath."I never said I was taking anything away from you." Rose said with a twisted smile"Then step down.""No." Rose said as the smile immediately disappeared from her face."You heard what I said." Ava's eyes widened slightly."I heard you.""Then why are you refusing?""Because your father didn't say I should step down immediately,he specifically gave me the authority to decide
Contract bride: from contract wife to his obsession chapter fifty eight
The living room was so quiet that the ticking of the antique grandfather clock echoed through the air. No one spoke or moved as the atmosphere was unbearably tense. Ava sat upright on the single sofa, her hands resting tightly on her lap. Her eyes never left the brown envelope in the lawyer's hands.Across from her, Rose maintained a calm expression, but beneath the table, her fingers were tightly intertwined. Even she couldn't completely hide her nervousness. Beside her, Clara shifted uneasily in her seat every few seconds. This was the moment that would determine everything.The lawyer adjusted his glasses once again before clearing his throat. "As instructed by the late Mr. Lin, I shall now proceed to read his final will and testament."He unfolded the document carefully.His voice remained steady and professional."I, Lin Jian, being of sound mind and body at the time of writing this document, hereby declare this to be my last will and testament." The lawyer continued."To my

Three days later...the gloomy sky seemed to mirror everyone's mood as dark clouds hung heavily above the old stone church as rows of black cars filled the parking lot outside.Inside the church, every seat was occupied by friends,relatives,business partners,government officials,even people who had once competed fiercely with Mr. Lin had come to pay their final respects.At the very back of the church sat Ava. She was dressed in a simple black dress, her long hair neatly tied behind her. Her face looked pale,the exhaustion from the past few days was impossible to hide.The priest stood before the congregation, his calm voice echoing through the silent church."Death is not the end...""We are merely returning to our Creator..."His words continued, but they barely reached Ava's ears. She sat motionless and her eyes remained fixed on the polished wooden coffin resting before the altar. Inside it lay the man she had spent her entire life trying to earn the love of.Her father.Her

Jane quietly clasped her hands together, stealing a glance at the man seated opposite her who looked just as awkward. Neither of them seemed to know how to start a conversation.Several long seconds passed.Finally, Jane forced an awkward smile while she slowly stretched out her hand."Um... hello.. I'm Jane, Ava's best friend". She laughed nervously.Raymond looked at her hand before looking back at her face then smiled politely before shaking her hand."Raymond.""I know."Jane blurted out before she could stop herself.Raymond raised an eyebrow."You know me?"Oh..." Jane immediately but her lower lips. She mentally slapped herself.Great....Now you've made it weird.Just then, something seemed to click inside Raymond's head and his eyes widened slightly."Wait..." He leaned forward. "You're not...""Not... what?" Jane asked nervously."The lady that arranged that blind date?"Jane's smile instantly became stiff."So... you remember?"Raymond stared at her for a few seconds before laughi

Ava walked out of her father's office feeling emotionally drained as Rose's words continued to echo inside her head."Did you think I was going to sit back and watch you take everything?""Just like your mother wanted."The more she thought about those words, the more unsettled she became because none of it made sense. Why would her mother want to leave Rose and Clara with nothing? And why did Rose sound as though she had been holding onto that resentment for years?Ava sighed softly as she stepped into the elevator,the doors had barely closed when her phone began vibrating again. She glanced at the screen and saw that it was Jane calling,she had been calling all morning but Ava didn't feel like talking. Ava stared at the phone for a few seconds before finally answering."Hello..."The moment Jane heard her voice, she let out a long sigh of relief. "Ava!""Finally! Why weren't you answering your phone?...I've been calling you since morning." She said with panic in her voice."I
