•Juliet’s POV•

I took in a deep breath and exhaled softly, noticing the gazes of people in the mall still fixed on me. Taking a step forward, I looked around for Jace and Vera. After a few moments, I found them near the dinosaur collection, Jace was happily clutching a box, his tiny arms hugging it close to his chest.

Vera looked at the box in Jace’s hands and laughed. “At this rate, you're going to need your own toy store, kiddo. We’ll call it Jace’s Jurassic Jungle.”

Jace looked up at her, a wide smile on his face. His cheeks turned pink, and he hugged the box like it was the best thing in the world. I tried to smile as I watched them, but I just couldn’t bring myself to.

Edward’s words echoed in my head. I could still feel the faint grip of his hand on my wrist. I tried to push away his warnings about James, he probably said all that out of jealousy.

“Mommy, look! I got the dinosaur set,” Jace said when he noticed me. Vera turned to glance in my direction, her eyes filled with symp

    •Juliet POV•My eyes widned in shock as the realization hit me. My voice shook as I muttered, “That means... the perfume out there is just a replica of Jace Perfume.”Vera’s face tightened. She let out a slow breath and nodded. “This must’ve been how James did it. He took the original and replaced it with fakes. No wonder people were getting burns and rashes. It wasn’t ours.”My stomach knotted painfully. I felt dizzy for a second, but I pushed through it and stepped closer to the cartons stacked in front of me. My hand touched one of the bottles again, fingertips trailing over the label. “Vera, please get Dora and Eric’s attention right away,” I said, forcing my voice to stay steady.Vera didn’t waste a second. “Okay,” she said, turning and rushing back into the building.I stayed there, picking up another bottle. The changes were clearer now. The color wasn’t right. The scent was off. And the tiny details, our rose design, the little spark words wasn't there. My chest tightened as

  • 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

    •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

    •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
