Wendy had genuinely believed life would improve once she left Nathan behind. Instead, here she was, full circle, everyone around her insisting she bow to him anyway.

Something heavy sat on her chest, making it hard to draw a full breath.

She took a steadying breath and called Caleb.

He picked up fast, voice bright with mock pleasantness. "Sister. Finally ready to cooperate?"

"How much," Wendy said, flat.

Caleb feigned reluctance. "Talking money feels so transactional between family. Why not jus

  • Divorced, Then Married His Rival   Chapter 93: I Don't Know How to Keep You Safe

    Wendy sat in the passenger seat, Scarlett's words still circling in her mind.Kindness is a good thing.It was. There was no reason to abandon it just because of a few terrible people.It echoed what Jordan had said earlier, and what Scarlett herself had told them days ago. Scarlett clearly had thought it through."Look at you," Jordan said, glancing over. "That smile's about to split your face.""I'm in a good mood," Wendy said, smiling. "Of course I'm smiling."Jordan was in a good mood too. They'd just driven back toward the city when someone stepped into the road ahead.Jordan slowed, curious. "Why's an old man wandering around out here at night instead of sleeping?"Wendy found it odd too, but before she could put her finger on why, the old man suddenly collapsed.Startled, she opened the door and hurried out. "Sir, are you all right?"He seemed to be in terrible pain, unable to get up.Wendy, so concerned, didn't register anything off. She walked straight up and crouched beside

  • Divorced, Then Married His Rival   Chapter 92: Kindness Is a Good Thing

    Wendy was speechless for a long moment.So that explained it. The noises people claimed to hear at night weren't ghosts at all they were the proprietress's son, locked in the basement, trying to get out."Can you tell whether he accidentally got stuck down there or whether someone did it on purpose?" Jordan asked.The female officer shifted, uncomfortable. "I can't say much before the case is resolved."That answer told them everything they needed to know.Two out of three family members had now been found. One was still missing.Maybe he'd escaped. Maybe he'd been killed. Until the truth surfaced, anything was possible."It's getting dark," the officer said. "If you don't live around here, would you like me to drive you back?""No need," Jordan said. "With me around, nobody's messing with us."The officer smiled. "Fair enough. Drive safe, both of you."Rather than head straight home, Wendy and Jordan stopped by to see Scarlett.She was still holed up in her house as though she never

  • Divorced, Then Married His Rival   Chapter 91: Everyone's Got Bones Nothing to Be Afraid Of

    Cassidy might be cutting some shady deal behind Nathan's back.Wendy couldn't understand why she'd take such a risk. Wasn't she afraid Nathan would find out?Wendy disliked both of them, but she had to admit one thing: Cassidy had been sincere with Nathan.She stayed distracted the whole way back, only snapping out of it when she returned to the studio and Walter asked, curious, "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be running a shop?""The shop can't open," Wendy said. "Something happened.""What happened? Something even Julian Vance can't handle?"The review board had responded well, and the album would probably be cleared soon. Walter was in a good mood, with time to indulge in a little gossip."Julian really can't handle this one," Wendy said, helpless.That only piqued his curiosity further. Wendy figured there was no harm telling him he was nobody's easy mark and wouldn't be easily rattled."They found bones in the backyard of the shop. The police are investigating."

  • Divorced, Then Married His Rival   Chapter 90: She Hadn't Taken It Seriously Then But Now She Had More to Think About

    Alice couldn't leave right away. She needed to wait for the new caregiver to arrive and walk through everything first. Wendy planned to hand over a cake as a parting gift when the time came.With the shop no longer needing her, Wendy headed to the studio instead to see how things stood.Once the album had wrapped, she'd stopped tracking what happened next. A dedicated team handled the rollout; her job was just to do her own part well.The moment she walked in, the mood shifted noticeably awkward. Colleagues who normally greeted her warmly dropped their eyes and pretended not to see her.Puzzled, Wendy scanned the room and found Walter asleep in a corner, Marcus keeping watch nearby.Marcus stood and gestured her outside. Out in the hallway, he sighed."What's wrong?" Wendy asked, anxious."It got flagged in review," he said.She blinked. "The album? Is that a misunderstanding?""No. It's been blocked," Marcus said. "They say the content is too negative.""Huh?"That caught her complet

  • Divorced, Then Married His Rival   Chapter 89: Selfishness

    Julian worried Wendy might slip or knock into something while showering. As for playing the gallant rescuer, or engineering some excuse for closeness he found that kind of calculation beneath him entirely.He'd never let her in there alone with an obvious hazard waiting.Wendy looked up at him and nodded, vaguely confused."Wait for me here," he said, and stepped out.She didn't feel drunk just a bit dizzy. But Julian said she was drunk, so presumably she was.She laid her head on the table, idly playing with the tassels on the desk lamp. A row of them hung along its shade, softening the glow so it wasn't glaring but wasn't too dim either.When Julian returned, he had a glass of water in hand.She sipped it obediently. Sweet honey water.She blinked. "Where'd the honey come from? Didn't you not have any?""Bought some today. Do you like it?"She nodded, smiling. "Mm. What a coincidence. I was craving honey water."Julian watched her with a faint smile. It wasn't a coincidence. His bod

  • Divorced, Then Married His Rival   Chapter 88: You're So Beautiful

    Wendy suddenly remembered what she'd forgotten.She'd arranged to meet Cassidy tonight Cassidy's promised "advice" on winning Julian back.She'd been drinking, and her thoughts moved sluggishly. After a pause, she said, "I'm at a bar.""Why are you at a bar?" Cassidy demanded, furious. "We had plans!"Wendy slumped across the table, trying to figure out how to explain herself without blowing the whole act. The alcohol had her mind in a fog, and nothing came for a long moment.Seeing her stare blankly at the phone, Jordan plucked it from her hand and said into it, "Don't bother someone who's just been heartbroken."She hung up.Wendy thought about that for a moment and decided it worked. As far as Jordan was concerned, heartbroken was accurate.On the other end, Cassidy froze, then lit up with delight.Had Julian already thrown Wendy aside before Cassidy even had a chance to act?Every ounce of her focus was on Wendy it never occurred to her that the one nursing a broken heart might be
