Chapter 9

Author: Lunar Deer
I did not ask about what Justin had done specifically to annoy him, but my gut told me that it had nothing to do with me. It was the reason Jack got involved in this.

I heard a police siren in the distance, and it sounded like it was coming closer.

Jack glanced out the window. "Your men are pretty efficient, but my offer is still on the table before they arrive.

"You can go public about me saving you by coincidence from being murdered by your fiancé and best friend. You almost lost your lif

  • Exposing My Fiance’s Storeroom Affair   Chapter 10

    "You wouldn't have won without Jack Grisham, Elise. You were just lucky."I smiled and said clearly into the phone, "Luck is a part of one's capability. Even if luck was on my side, Celeste, you're probably not worthy of having any. Enjoy the last of your days. I heard that prisoners take good care of backstabbers like you."When Celeste became enraged by what I said, I hung up and left the prison. The sun outside was shining brightly, and a black sedan quietly stopped beside me. When the windows rolled down, I saw Jack's stoic face."All done?"He sounded calm as usual."Yup. Thank you, Mr. Grisham. I know you said this was a transaction, but I'll remember what you did for me."Jack raised an eyebrow, but did not deny my words. In a rare moment, he elaborated further. "You don't need to thank me. Someone trusted asked for my help, and a loyal friend does not reject such a request."I could not hold back my curiosity. "Can you tell me now who exactly came to you for help? I'd li

"You can go public about me saving you by coincidence from being murdered by your fiancé and best friend. You almost lost your life, and I gave you help out because I’m a good Samaritan. My involvement in this would make sense and make it more convincing for you to fight back."He did not need to be any clearer about this, as I instantly understood the power of Jack's name. With his help and support, I could bring Justin down and make sure he could never come back. As for Jack, what he wanted was a legitimate reason to get involved. He might also be profiting from whatever was happening, but I had no idea how. To him, t

  • Exposing My Fiance’s Storeroom Affair   Chapter 8

    The phone rang for a long time before I heard Larry's calm and cautious voice on the other end of the call. "Hello?""Uncle Larry, it's me, Elise." I tried to hold back my sob. "I need your help right now."There were several seconds of silence on the other end, as Larry tried to determine my condition and if I really was who I said I was. "Elise? Where are you? Rumors are flying around out here—""I know what's going on out there," I interrupted him. "Did Justin spread rumors about me being mentally unstable because I suffered a huge shock?"Larry paused before sighing. "Yes, he did. He contacted several board members to tell them that you suffered a breakdown due to the mishap at your engagement party, and you might… You might do something to affect the company's reputation and revenue."He wanted us to talk you into going home to rest if we managed to contact you."I knew that he would take action to ruin my reputation first!"Uncle Larry, I have evidence of Justin embezzling

    "Someone asked for your help?" I asked right away when I caught those words. I could not think of anyone who would help me, let alone go so far as to get this man's help at a time like this. Jack did not answer. All he did was turn the steering wheel and drive the car down a quiet road. We finally stopped in front of a hidden villa. "Get out of the car."He released his seatbelt, while I remained hesitant in my seat. The pain all over my body and my weak limbs did not allow me to think further, so I ended up following him out of the car. Every step I took felt like I was stepping on knives.Jack hesitated slightly before bending over to carry me in his arms. When we got into the house, he took out a first aid kit and placed it on the table in the living room. "You should tend to your wounds. The guest room is the second room on the left. There are new clothes and toiletries prepared inside."He left me alone after he finished his instructions. He headed to his study, looking like

    Cold air filled my mouth and nostrils instantly, but I knew this was just the second floor.The next second, I fell heavily onto a soft patch of grass downstairs, but the fall was enough to hurt my insides. My body was covered in pain as the shards cut through my skin. I could hear Justin and Celeste cursing at me upstairs.I tried my best to stand despite the intense pain. I stepped onto the cold grass and broken glass in my bare feet to pick up the flash drive from the ground.After that, I stumbled my way toward the street. I knew I had to get out of there and hand the evidence to the police. I could hear Justin and Celeste dashing down the stairs while yelling angrily.My heart drummed in my chest as I ran with all my might. Every breath I took tasted like blood, and when I finally dashed out of the commercial district of the building and arrived at the road, blinding car lights suddenly shone on me.A black sedan sped toward me and parked right in front of me with a sharp swe

    "Shut up!" Celeste suddenly roared at Justin, looking enraged.That roar confirmed everything Justin said was true, and I suddenly felt dizzy with realization. I had to stop myself from falling by holding onto the side of the table. The world turned quiet all of a sudden, and all I could hear was my heavy breathing and the sound of my heart being torn apart. Celeste was my most trusted friend. She was with me when I caught Justin cheating, and she had been angry on my behalf for what they did. She was also there by my side when I chose to forgive Justin's 'buddy' again and again. It turned out that she was in cahoots with them! Celeste was the one who swapped my pills to make sure my health deteriorated, and she was even helping Justin usurp my fortune. Why?"Why did you do it?" I finally asked with a trembling voice. Celeste looked at my eyes brimming with tears, and she knew she could no longer hide it. The concern was wiped off her face and replaced with a malicious and
