THE GALA

Lucas sat in the gala, his gaze fixed on the door as he waited for Janette to walk in. He had been able to pull some strings into making her sit at the same table with him while Rosa would sit at the sane table with Alan so they could talk and make amends.

Each second that passed felt like forever as he really wanted to see her. He kept tapping his feet and checking his wrist watch, wondering what was taking her so long.

A few minutes later, he looked up, his eyes widening as he saw Janette walking in with Rosa behind her. She looked absolutely stunning in a black glittering gown that stopped at her feet, complementing her fine porcelain skin tone and giving her the sophisticated CEO appearance.

He was almost tempted to spring to his feet and hug her then tell everyone that she was his wife, but he knew she would chop his head off if he tried, so he patiently waited as they led her to his seat. He stood up and walked away. If she saw him, she might ask for the seats to b

    082.“She really did?” Victor asked, his eyes wide in surprise. If what Liam said was true, then Janette was really in love with Lucas. Liam ruffled his hair aggressively, his face twisted into a snarl. “That Lucas! Gosh, if only that poison can just finish him off then I'll know I have nothing to worry about. Janette and I were perfectly fine before he came into the picture. I regret returning to New York. We would have just stayed in Chicago and I would have married her before we came here.”Victor licked his lower lip. “So what are you going to do now?”Liam steepled his fingers. “I didn't want to do this from the start, but I guess I have to. I already called her and asked her to go with the second plan, once that is established, I will know what to do next. We need to cause a rift between them immediately; something from the past that might trigger Janette and make her hate him.”“Wouldn't you be hurting her then?” Victor asked.Liam glared at him. “I think it's time you stopped

  • Dear Ex-Wife, Let Us Restart   Chapter 081 ~ Suspecting him

    081.Liam forced a smile at Janette and walked to hold her hand. “How long have you been here?” he asked, causing Janette to raise a brow at him.“I was here long enough to see you loathing that necklace,” she shifted her gaze to the locket in his hand. “Hope you aren't planning something bad.” she asked, starting to suspect that Liam might actually be behind what happened to Lucas. He's the only rival Lucas had that she knew about, but she didn't want to jump into conclusions. Besides, Liam was in California when it happened. He might be hot-tempered, but he wouldn't stoop that low.“Oh, the locket,” he said and handed it over to her. “Why would I plan something bad? I do admit that a second ago, I wanted to get rid of it, but I decided against it. Also, about when what you heard me saying, I was talking about work. The proposal we made to a tech company didn't go through, so I'm telling Victor to go with Plan B.”Janette watched him for a while. He looked so sincere, and she felt ba

  • Dear Ex-Wife, Let Us Restart   Chapter 080 ~ Plan B

    080.After work, Janette was about to leave her office when a knock came in. She hung her coat, picked up her bag and opened the door. One of the nurses held a big gift box in her hand. “This came in for you.” The nurse said and Janette raised an eyebrow. Could it be from Liam? Did he remember her birthday?With a sigh, she took it from the lady. “Who brought it?”“Mr. Lucas’s personality assistant.” The nurse replied and Janette’s face fell. It wasn’t from Liam after all. It was from Lucas, but how did he prepare this? He was currently unconscious. She gestured for the nurse to leave before dropping the gift box on her desk. She massaged her temple as she thought about it, but then it hit her. Lucas must have prepared it before the poisoning incident.With a sigh, she dropped her bag and reached into the big gift box, wondering what might be inside.Janette slowly pulled out a bundle wrapped in a blue velvet cloth. As she unwrapped it, her breath caught in her throat.Nestled insid

  • Dear Ex-Wife, Let Us Restart   Chapter 079 ~ What matters the most

    079.Janette dashed out of the lab and hurriedly dialed the number of Dr. Hill, one of the senior doctors in the hospital. She paced the hallway as she waited for the call to connect.“Dr. Hill? It's Janette. I have a critical situation in the lab. I found cicutoxin in Lucas's system, the one who got a peanut butter allergic reaction.”“Cicutoxin? That's impossible!” Dr. Hill exclaimed. “Are you sure?”“Of course I’m sure, Dr. Hill. I found the toxin in his blood sample.”Dr. Hill sucked in a breath. “This is grave. We need to get Lucas to the ICU immediately. Cicutoxin is deadly, and we need to flush out any remaining poison in his system.”“Yes. I already asked them to do that. I’m on my way to the ICU right now.” Janette replied, her voice tense with urgency.“Tell them to prepare the IV immediately and start pumping adrenaline and atropine into his system. We need to stabilize him as quickly as possible,” Dr. Hill said, his voice serious and commanding.Her voice was low and stead

    078.GEOFFREY CORP…“You said all those words to her?” Victor was shocked as he looked at Liam, who had his arms folded, and his back leaned on the chair in front of his desk.Liam pinched the bridge of his nose, sighing heavily. “I got so mad that I just had to say it.”“But you overreacted and went too far if you really said all these things you’re telling me right now,” Liam placed his palm on his forehead. “I already apologized to her and she forgives me. It might GG’s been harsh but at least it brought her back to her senses. I just need to do something to keep her then I propose.”Victor blinked. “Hope you aren’t planning to propose immediately? She might have forgiven you, but you need to give her some time to calm down and process her thoughts. Dropping a proposal on her can seem selfish of you.”Liam’s eyes blazed with defiance. “I know that, Victor. But this is more than just about winning her. It's about showing her that she belongs with me, that she's safe with me. She do

    077.Liam was about to say something, but Rosa raised her hand to stop him. She crouched down to Ethan’s level and smiled at him. “Can you how downstairs to Sophia for a minute? I’ll be right down, okay?”Ethan had a worried expression on his face. He really wanted to go hug Janette right now, but he was too shocked and terrified of Liam to do so. “Will Mummy be okay?” he asked, his voice low and cute.Rosa nodded. “Now go,” she said and he walked out.Rosa closed the door and walked to where Liam stood. Before he could say anything, she slapped him across the face, causing Janette to gasp and stand to her feet.“Rosa!” she called, but Rosa didn’t answer her instead, her angry face was fixed on Liam, who turned to look at her, his eyes wide in shock.“How dare you say those words to her? How dare you hurt her like that?” she snapped, her eyes holding nothing but anger and resentment towards Liam. She never liked the jerk to begin with, and now he had to show his real colors, it would

    076.Next Day…When Janette woke up, Liam was already dressed for work. She hadn’t been able to sleep the previous night. Even the blood testing she wanted to do, she couldn’t do it either. Her mind was racing with different thoughts about her conversation with Liam, and she could only turn and toss in bed. She was only able to get some sleep after a few hours, and it wasn’t even up to forty-five minutes before her alarm went off again. She got down from the bed and walked to where Liam stood, trying to fix his tie. She took it from him and began helping him. “I’m sorry about what happened between us yesterday. You know, I’m not trying to make excuses, but you know how much I love chocolate perfumes. I even began using chocolate perfumes before I dated and married Lucas, and I only attached importance to it after Lucas told me he loved how the perfume smelled on me. After lie divorce, I still wore it because I loved it and even though it reminds me of what he says about it sometimes,

  • Dear Ex-Wife, Let Us Restart   Chapter 075 ~ Marry her immediately!

    075.“What do you mean?” Alan asked, his face already showing that he was worried.“You know when you felt the peanut butter was added to his sandwich due to a mistake?” she asked and he nodded. “I don’t think it was a mistake because not only was that intentionally added to trigger his allergy, but it was also poisoned.”Alan’s eyes widened. “Poisoned?”Janette nodded. “That’s what we just found out. So I need to know if he has any enemies or anything.”Alan massaged his temple as he thought of something. Lucas might have various business rivals, but they hadn’t done anything yet. They were only looking for what to use against him, and so far, they have gotten nothing. So the main enemy or rival he knew Lucas would have now is Liam. But Liam wouldn’t stoop that low, right?Alan sighed. “I can’t think of anyone right now, but I’ll go check where the delivery came and see what they have to say about this.”Janette nodded even though she was not fully convinced. Alan bowed and walked in

  • Dear Ex-Wife, Let Us Restart   Chapter 074 ~ Someone is after Lucas

    074.Janette quickly moved away from him like she had been harassed and blinked at him. Her cheeks turned pink immediately and she quickly looked away from Lucas.Her head buzzed with embarrassment. She couldn’t believe he heard everything she said. And the kiss… her hands went to her lips and she touched them—soft, moist—as a result of the Kiss. Her heart beat accelerated.She tensed up when she felt someone wrap his arms around her. Her body relaxed when Lucas kissed the crook of her neck.“Jane,” he called, his voice barely above a whisper. Janette felt the tingles in her neck as a result of his breathing, but her throat felt like it was clogged and she couldn’t bring herself to say anything else. She felt if she opened her mouth, it might come out as a croak instead. Her throat had already dried at this rate.Lucas pulled back and turned her to face him. “Did you mean everything you said?”Janette opened her mouth to speak bu
