•Juliet POV•

"Juliet, go ahead and check on the production team. I’ll review the camera footage,” Edward said as we walked down the hallway leading to the elevator. “If James had anything to do with this, there’s no way he did it without getting caught on camera.”

Vera nodded. “That’s a good idea.”

Edward reached over and gently grabbed my hand, halting me mid-step. I turned to look up at him, with tired eyes.

“Promise me you’ll be okay?” he asked, his voice low and concerned.

I took a deep breath, trying to keep myself together. “I’ll be fine. Go check the cameras.”

He gave me a soft, reassuring smile, then turned and walked away.

I stepped into the elevator with Vera on my left and Dora on my right. As the doors slid shut, I rested my hand on my head, trying to soothe the throbbing in my scalp. The hum of the elevator filled the silence until Vera suddenly spoke.

“If the perfume is really that dangerous,” she said slowly, “then why didn’t you react to it? You sprayed it on my arm d

  • Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss   Chapter 201

    •Juliet POV•I stood up slowly from the couch, pulling myself together as much as I could. Vera waited quietly by the door while Edward, still flipping through the files on the table, paused and glanced at me. Without saying anything, he dropped the files where they were and joined us.The three of us walked down the hallway, our footsteps echoing lightly in the quiet hallway. When we reached the conference room, I pushed the door open, my heart heavy but I try as much as possible to keep my face calm as I stepped into the room.The staff were already seated, looking up at me with expectant eyes. I walked to the head of the table, pulling out the chair slowly before sitting down. Edward and Vera both took seats on either side of me, their presence giving me a small ounce of comfort.I cleared my throat lightly, my hands resting on the table. “Good afternoon,” I started, with a steady voice despite the weight sitting on my chest. “First, I want to thank all of you for being here... and

  • Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss   Chapter 200

    •Juliet POV•I stood up from the bed, pacing around the room, my arms wrapped around my chest as if holding myself together would somehow make everything better. The weight on my chest felt heavier with each step, like it wanted to pull me down.I shook my head, biting my lower lip hard. “What can I do now, Vera? My mind just can’t come up with anything... only thoughts of what more terrible things might happen.”Vera’s eyes softened as she watched me. “I understand how you’re feeling right now, Jules. But since Jace Perfume is closed down by the government for investigation...” She placed her hand under her chin, her brows furrowed deep in thought. “I think you should lay off the staffs.”My eyes widened. I stopped pacing and stared at her.“If James’s insider is still within the company, there’s no way we’ll figure out anything,” Vera continued quietly. “They’ll just keep covering things up and drawing our attention elsewhere.”I exhaled sharply. “Hm... you’re right. But what does t

  • Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss   Chapter 199

    •Juliet POV•I rested my head against the door and wiped my tears, telling myself once more that everything can't end this way. But the more I said it, the more it felt like I was lying to myself. James would always want to do something else, even if I managed to scale through this.I let out a rasped breath and closed my eyes, relishing in the sudden relief as I tried to think of what I could do to finally put James behind bars.The ringing tone of my phone distracted me from my thoughts. I stood up slowly, walking over to the phone laying on the nightstand. I picked it up to check for the caller ID, but my hand mistakenly swiped the answer button. I stared at the screen, seeing a familiar number I couldn’t quite place who the owner is. I brought it close to my ear anyway.“Hello, Juliet. How are you doing?”The voice on the call became clearer, and I recognized it as my mom’s voice.I sighed. When I thought the day couldn’t get any worse, it just did. But I didn’t end the call. A pa

  • Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss   Chapter 198

    •Edward POV•I stood by the door, hearing Juliet’s quiet sobs. Seeing her like that broke my heart, and I just couldn’t believe all this was happening.All I’d ever planned after Juliet accepted me back into her life was to make her smile always, to give her the happiness she deserved. But doing that since this issue with James started had become a difficult thing for me.“Juliet, please listen to me. I know how you’re feeling right now, and I want you to know that you’re not alone,” I muttered, leaning closer to the door. “I promise you that I’ll make sure everything goes back to normal and that James gets what he deserves.”There was a moment of silence, just the sound of her breathing. Then came more sniffling, and she started crying again. Realizing she wouldn’t let me in and that she needed some time alone, I walked away from the door and down the stairs to the living room.Eric was sitting on the couch, scrolling through the tab in his hand, his face locked in concentration. I t

  • Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss   Chapter 197

    •Juliet POV•“What?” Edward shouted from where he was sitting, dropping the phone onto the table. He walked over to me, eyes locked on the screen as I scrolled through the comments.“Now I feel like punching that bastard,” Edward groaned. “What does he want? Why did he go to this length just to do this?”I looked up from the phone screen, my voice low. “He wants to tarnish the reputation of Jace Perfume now, after trying to steal it.” I muttered, almost to myself. “Eric, what should we do about this?”Eric shifted slightly in his seat and picked up the cup of coffee Mrs. Carl had placed on the table in front of him. “I’ll try to see if we can trace the location of those comments. Maybe close down the accounts.”“That’s not bad,” Edward said, jaw clenched tight. “At least now we know what James is capable of.”I stared at the tablet screen once more before picking it up and handing it over to Eric, who was already sipping his coffee.“Do what you have to do,” I told him quietly.He nod

  • Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss   Chapter 196

    •Juliet POV•I rolled over on the bed and snuggled close to Edward, resting my head on his chest. Trying not to think about the situation at hand, I let the warmth of his body give me a welcoming comfort.The smell of an unfamiliar manly cologne prickled my pulse, making me sniff. I didn’t recognize this perfume from anywhere. I opened my eyes and lifted my head off Edward’s chest. He shifted on the bed and rolled to the other side.I stared at him. Something wasn’t right.The man next to me… wasn’t Edward. The muscular build, the broad chest, it wasn’t Edward’s.“Edward?” I muttered, looking confused. But he didn’t answer.I gently pulled myself away from him and was about to get off the bed when a strong hand grabbed my wrist.“Who are you calling Edward?” The familiar voice asked.I blinked in confusion. I remembered Edward lying beside me, patting my back, whispering that everything would be alright before I slept.“Who are you?” I asked softly, my voice trembling.The man turned,
