Game Over, Mr. CEO: Your Wife Is Done Chapter 30
Winter had already asked someone to look into it. The house had been bought by Chris before they got married.That meant it was not considered marital property. Legally, she had no claim to it in a divorce settlement.So if she wanted that house back, she would have to use the divorce itself as leverage and negotiate for it.Winter left Blackwood Manor and got into her car.She didn’t know where Chris had gone on his business trip, or how large the time difference was between there and home. But she didn’t want to wait even a moment longer. Every extra day Skyla stayed in that house felt like slow, deliberate torture.She called Chris directly.The phone rang several times, then disconnected on its own. No one answered.She called Gavin next. There was still no answer.Outside the car, the cold wind howled. Inside the dim interior, Winter clenched her teeth and let out a bitter laugh.Then her phone rang.She thought it was Chris calling back, but the screen showed an unfamil

“Then tell me this,” Winter said, stepping forward. “Why did it have to be here?”Beneath her feet, the cement still held the tiny footprints she had left when she was one year old.Her parents had carried her in their arms and pressed her little feet into the wet concrete together.She was home.She fought hard to keep the tears from falling. “You know this is my home.”Skyla could live here if she wanted. But not like this. Not with Chris buying the house and moving her in.That hurt far more than if he had driven a knife straight into Winter’s heart himself.Skyla reached into her pocket, took out a neatly folded handkerchief, and held it out to her. “Wipe your tears. It is cold.”Winter didn’t move. She didn’t even glance at the handkerchief.“Winter, let it go,” Skyla said softly. “This is no longer your home. From the moment your father sold it, it was meant to belong to someone else. Other people can live here. Why can’t it be me?”The words felt painfully familiar. Th

Skyla sat in the wheelchair and pulled her scarf tighter around her neck. “Make some soup tomorrow morning. I’ll take it to my uncle.”“Yes, Ms. Jasper,” the caregiver replied, pushing the wheelchair toward the house.“Skyla Jasper!”A sharp, urgent and angry voice suddenly cut through the air behind them.The driver, clearly a bodyguard, spun around at the sound of hurried footsteps and moved to shield the wheelchair.Because of that, Skyla did not see the person clearly at first. But she recognized the voice immediately. “Let her through. She’s my friend,” Skyla said calmly.The bodyguard stepped aside. At once, Skyla saw Winter standing there, her eyes red, her body caught in the cold wind.Skyla lowered her gaze slightly.Once, she had cared deeply about Winter. She couldn’t bear to see her cry or suffer. If anyone dared to upset Winter back then, Skyla would never have let it go.But Winter had fallen for Chris.And Skyla hated anyone who loved Chris.Especially Winte

Winter nodded and left the hospital room.The elevator doors had just closed when Skyla appeared from around the corner, seated in a wheelchair pushed by her caregiver. She stared at the glowing red numbers of the elevator display, her expression unreadable and deep in thought.After leaving the hospital, Winter drove with no real destination in mind.Truth be told, she didn’t have to rely on Jimmy to help her go abroad. The Xander family or the Zeller family could make it happen. In Liono City, and even across the country, those two families carried weight in nearly every field.If Mrs. Xander Sr. stepped in, the matter would be settled instantly. But Winter didn’t want her to know. If she found out, she would definitely stop her. Winter hadn’t even figured out how to bring up the divorce yet.William was not an option either. He would never agree to let her go somewhere that dangerous. Worse, he might threaten to cut ties with her. He always did that when he got emotional, and s

Jimmy was a heavyweight in the domestic journalism world. Everyone gave him respect.Not to mention that several senior leaders at the news agency had once been his students. With a single word from him, Winter’s problem could easily be resolved.Looking at the middle-aged man, the gray at his temples catching her eye, Winter felt a surge of guilt. “Professor, I truly know I was wrong.”All of Jimmy’s students addressed him as Professor Freeman. Only Winter was allowed to call him simply Professor. Even her senior classmates used to joke that she was his favorite, the one he had mentored most closely.He adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and let out a sigh. “Once you go abroad, it will be three years. Three years away from Chris. Can you really bear that? Or did Skyla’s return affect your relationship with him?”Hearing those words, Winter felt nothing but irony. What relationship did she and Chris even have anymore? Even whatever bond they once shared was long gone

“But I wasn’t lying to you,” Skyla said gently. “I didn’t come back to Liono City to steal Chris away from you. I didn’t even choose to return on my own. Chris was the one who wanted me back.”The foot Winter had just stepped into the elevator stopped short.She reached out and pressed the door button, and the doors slid open at once.She clenched her fingers hard, forcing herself to stay calm and not turn back to confront Skyla.The elevator doors slowly slid shut.Winter stared at her reflection in the mirrored wall of the elevator. Her face looked awful. She loosened her tightly-clenched hand, only to see fresh blood where her palm had been scraped the night before when she slipped and fell.She had thought she was calm enough to face Skyla.What she had never expected was to hear that it was Chris who had asked Skyla to return.So Chris had been that impatient. He could not even wait for the divorce to be finalized before bringing Skyla back.It seemed he truly didn’t take
