Chapter 7

作者: Thirteen Pennies
Heather tumbled down the steps and fell flat on her face in front of everyone. Her forehead and knees were scraped and bleeding, her carefully styled hair was now a complete mess, and she looked utterly disheveled.

The reporters, eager for drama, trained their cameras on Heather and snapped away.

As for Lucas, he had just publicly announced his relationship with Heather moments ago, only for her to embarrass herself in public the very next second. His face flushed with embarrassment.

  • Divorce Activated: Reclaiming My Ex's Luck   Chapter 13

    "You want to abandon me and save yourself? Not a chance!" Heather shouted.Lucas, however, smirked and pulled a divorce agreement from his pocket, one that already bore Heather's signature. "If I want to, I can end this relationship anytime."Heather's pupils contracted sharply. "When did I sign this?""A week ago, when you were drunk."Only then did it dawn on Heather that she had been played. Gritting her teeth, she snarled, "Lucas Mallard, you selfish, cold-blooded, despicable piece of scum! You set me up!"Heather slapped Lucas hard across the face and, losing all decorum, spat on him.Lucas was not about to take that lying down. He slapped her right back. Then, while everyone's attention was diverted, he kicked over Heather's wheelchair and bolted without looking back.By the time anyone realized what had happened, Lucas was long gone. The debt collectors surrounded Heather, demanding payment.Once they discovered Heather couldn't come up with the money either, they rained

  • Divorce Activated: Reclaiming My Ex's Luck   Chapter 12

    The business partner, Matthew Newhall, took my proposal without hesitation and confirmed the partnership with me on the spot, casually tossing Heather's proposal aside as he did so. Heather's face turned red with rage. Lucas jabbed a finger at me and said indignantly, "Mr. Newhall, Randall is a plagiarist. His previous patent was stolen from me. This man has serious character issues, and partnering with him comes with enormous risk. Please reconsider your decision!"At Lucas' words, everyone in the room shot me looks of contempt and disdain.Faced with Lucas' slander, Matthew simply let out a cold laugh. He pulled out his phone, displayed the original sketches I had saved long ago, proving my case right there in front of everyone."Izzy already told me what kind of person Randall is. These are all the original sketches Randall made when he designed his patent. The one who plagiarized wasn't Randall. It was Lucas."Once the evidence was laid bare, public opinion flipped in an inst

  • Divorce Activated: Reclaiming My Ex's Luck   Chapter 11

    Within half a month of joining, I developed a new patent that brought Greene Corporation massive profits. Isabella gave me a promotion and a raise, and my colleagues, now genuinely convinced of my abilities, completely changed their attitude toward me.My career was soaring, and my life was peaceful and fulfilling.During this time, even though I didn't go out of my way to keep tabs on Heather and Seymour Corporation, they both kept making headlines on their own.At first, the headlines were all negative, and I thought Seymour Corporation would go bankrupt in no time. To my surprise, it didn't take long for the company to make a comeback. Not only did the stock price recover, but the funding gap was somehow bridged overnight, and they even managed to secure a number of new partnerships.Heather and Lucas went crazy sending me text messages to show off."Randall, ever since Luke took over as vice president, the company has made a full recovery. It runs perfectly fine without you!

    Heather knew that half the company had been built on my blood and sweat. She was trying to use the threat of firing me to force me to give in. Lucas seized the chance to fan the flames. "Randall, the job market is brutal right now. What decent job can you even land if you leave the company? I suggest you don't gamble with your future!"As long as you heal Hattie's legs and lift the crisis at Seymour Corporation, Hattie and I can still let you stay at the company even after your divorce—"Before he could finish, I cut him off coldly. "No need for all that trouble."In the next second, Heather received my online resignation."What? You're resigning?" Heather's expression stiffened. She clearly hadn't expected a workaholic like me to hand in my resignation.She knew at that moment that her last means of manipulating me was gone. A flicker of regret passed through her eyes, but she was too proud by nature to ever lower herself before me.In the end, out of sheer spite, she approved

    I sneered inwardly. Heather still had no idea that I had long since brought my parents over to live with me. She no longer held any leverage over me.Since it had come to this, I saw no reason to keep hiding the truth any longer. I was actually curious to see her reaction once she learned the truth."Heather, I'll give it to you straight. I'm bound to a system that brings good fortune to my wife. My innate constitution that brings luck to my wife is very real. "The reason your legs miraculously healed and your business sailed smoothly from the start was all because of me. Every bit of good fortune you and your company enjoyed was something I exchanged for with my own lifespan. "The only condition was that you couldn't divorce me. The moment you did, I would have the right to take everything back. Yet you just had to go dig your own grave, so I reclaimed everything I had exchanged for you!"Hearing this, Heather stood frozen in shock. However, it didn't take long for her to accep

    Faced with Heather's threat, I let out a cold laugh."But I haven't done anything. Feel free to investigate. Though you might want to worry about yourself first. Haven't you noticed that your legs have already lost all sensation?"Heather's expression fell for a split second as I'd struck a nerve. Still, she stubbornly insisted, "My legs are just numb. Don't you dare jinx me!"To prove to everyone that her legs were fine, Heather forced herself to stand. A sharp cracking sound rang out, and in the next second, her leg snapped at a gruesome 180-degree fracture. She collapsed heavily to the ground once more.Everyone hurriedly rushed Heather to the hospital. Both the reporters and I followed to watch how things would unfold. Before long, the examination report came back. The moment Heather read its contents, her face drained of all color, and she froze on the spot."I'm paralyzed? How is that possible? Oh! I know! This report must be wrong. I demand a re-examination!"Yet no matt
