Chapter 99: The Visit
Last Updated:
2026-01-03 11:00:07The elevator doors slid open with a soft hiss, and Richard Hughes stepped into the hushed hallway of his corporate floor as if returning to a battlefield. Two security personnel trailed him discreetly, their presence quiet but unmistakable. Cameras outside had swarmed earlier, hungry for a glimpse of the “fallen chairman,” but inside these walls the only witness was the sterile scent of expensive polish.
He paused at his assistant’s desk. “How’s the media pulse?” he asked without looking up.
Her fingers hovered over the tablet. “Divided. Heated. Ideal for a fresh narrative… if you choose to push one.”
Richard didn’t answer. His gaze had drifted beyond her, landing on the framed photo on her shelf—a younger Brandon, six years old, cheeks round, eyes b

Falling for the Disgraced Heir Chapter 150: The Divorce That Didn’t Happen
The leak hits before dawn, sharp and merciless.By the time Julia’s phone starts vibrating across the nightstand, the headline has already metastasized—screenshots, legal language stripped of nuance, phrases like annulment filing and corporate risk bolded for maximum damage. She doesn’t open anything at first. She lies there, staring at the ceiling, listening to Brandon’s breathing beside her, uneven even in sleep.When she finally sits up, the room feels colder.“Julia?” Brandon murmurs, waking as if he felt the shift in the air. He reaches for her without opening his eyes, fingers brushing her wrist. “
Falling for the Disgraced Heir Chapter 149: Let Me Be the One Who Leaves
Julia doesn’t wait for the right moment. She creates it by refusing to let the silence keep stretching.Brandon is at the kitchen counter, sleeves rolled up, staring at his phone without scrolling. When she places the printed pages between them, the soft thud sounds louder than it should. He looks down, then up at her, confusion tightening his mouth.“What’s this?” he asks.“A proposal,” she says, voice steady enough to convince herself. “Not an ending.”He scans the first page. His jaw locks. “This is a separation.”“It’s a strategy,” she replies quickly. “A pause. A firewall.”He sets the p
Falling for the Disgraced Heir Chapter 148: The Kindest Cruelty
Arthur doesn’t look relieved when he sees Julia. He looks careful.They meet in a quiet private room off a legal café downtown, the kind of place designed to look neutral and fail at it. Glass walls, muted light, the hum of other people’s problems leaking through. Julia sits across from him with her coat still on, spine straight, expression composed enough to be mistaken for calm.“This isn’t about leaving Brandon,” she says before he can speak. “If that’s what you think, say it now so I can walk out.”Arthur studies her for a long moment. “Then don’t walk out.”He slides a folder across the table, not opening it. Not yet. “This is about fallout. Containment. Damage that’s already in mot
Falling for the Disgraced Heir Chapter 147: If Love Costs You Everything
Julia reads the word annulment three times before it becomes real.The paper trembles faintly in her hands, though her face stays still. Corporate risk statutes. Reputational exposure. Financial liability. Her name appears not as a wife, not as a person, but as a variable to be eliminated.She sits on the edge of the bed, morning light cutting across the room in pale stripes. Brandon stands a few feet away, saying nothing, watching the way her shoulders slowly draw inward as if bracing against a wind only she can feel.“They quantified me,” she says finally, voice flat. “Like I’m a bad investment.”“Julia—”
Falling for the Disgraced Heir Chapter 146: The Papers Between Us
The envelope is heavier than it should be.Brandon feels it the moment his assistant places it on his desk, the thick cream paper stamped with legal insignia he knows too well. No preamble. No courtesy call. Just the weight of intent, pressed flat and merciless.He doesn’t open it right away. He stares at the skyline beyond the glass wall, jaw locked, pulse slow and dangerous. When he finally breaks the seal, the words don’t surprise him—only the speed does.Filed for annulment under corporate risk statutes. Immediate injunction. Joint assets frozen. Public appearances suspended until further review.“Christ,” he breathes.This isn’t about legality. It’s leverage. The board isn’
Falling for the Disgraced Heir Chapter 145: The Marriage That Refused
Silence lives between them like a third presence, heavy and deliberate.Julia sits on the edge of the bed, robe tied too tightly, fingers worrying the fabric as if it might unravel on its own. Brandon stands by the window, city lights flickering across his face, phone dark in his hand for the first time in hours. No calls. No lawyers. Just the quiet aftermath of choice.“I keep waiting for the next hit,” he says without turning. “The email that blows everything apart.”Julia swallows. “Me too.”The silence returns, thicker now. It isn’t anger that fills it—worse, more fragile. Fear. The kind that waits, patient and sharp, promising consequences.“They’ll come for you
