Heiress Return: Revenge Of The Crippled Ex-Wife CHAPTER 98.
Mark’s POV.I didn’t like the way Gina looked at me. Like I was something filthy. Like being in the same room with me made her skin crawl. She didn’t say it out loud. Gina wasn’t reckless like that, she wasn’t someone who was that sharp-mouthed when it came to such things but it was written all over her face. In the way her eyes stayed fixed on the floor and how her shoulders hunched forward like she was trying to disappear.I watched her from the other side of the room, leaning against the edge of the desk. My arms were folded, not because I was angry yet, but because it kept me from doing something I might regret.I’d had a long day with Gina. Everything felt heavier than usual like the world had shifted just slightly and made even breathing feel like work. And there she was, sitting like a statue, making it harder just by existing and breathing my air.“You could at least pretend to be grateful,” I said, my voice low and measured. “I’m not asking for a standing ovation. Just a litt

Clarence’s POV.I would be lying if I said I hadn’t noticed it right away. For hours now, maybe even days, Olivia had been hovering. Showing up in places she normally wouldn’t be. The break room when I went for coffee. The hallway when I stepped out for a file. Even the ladies’ room, just standing by the sink like she had nowhere else to be. At first, I tried brushing it off. Told myself it was just bad timing. But after the fifth coincidence, I stopped pretending.She was watching me.And I knew why.I didn’t know how much she had seen that day in my office with Julian, but I could feel the change in her. The way her eyes lingered on me a little too long. The way she tilted her head slightly whenever I spoke, like she was measuring my every word. It wasn’t just polite curiosity. It was calculated. She was waiting for me to mess up.I tried to tell myself I was being paranoid. That maybe I was just overthinking it. But then she showed up outside my office door again, pretending to ask

Julian’s POV.I called Clarence the moment I opened my eyes the next morning. My arm ached from the makeshift bandage I had wrapped myself in, and though I knew it needed better attention, all I could think about was making sure she was alright. She answered after two rings.“Good morning,” her voice was soft and warm, like nothing in the world had gone wrong.I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the faint sunlight spilling through the curtains. “Morning. Did you sleep okay?”“I did,” she said. “Better than I thought I would.”Then a pause.“I want to come into the office today.”“No,” I said quickly. “I don’t want you coming in today. Just rest, please.”“Julian, I’m fine. I’ve been away from work long enough—”“I mean it, Clarence. I need you to stay home today.”She sighed, and I could picture her stubborn little frown, the way her brow creases when she doesn’t get her way. “Why? Did something happen?”“No,” I lied smoothly. “I just want you to relax. One more day won’t hurt. P
Heiress Return: Revenge Of The Crippled Ex-Wife CHAPTER 95.
Julian’s POV.I stayed in the car longer than I should have, my hands still gripping the steering wheel. Marvin’s confession kept playing over and over in my head. My first instinct was to go straight to him, confront him, make him talk. But then, reality sank in. What was I going to do? Storm into some seedy club and start throwing punches? What if he ran? What if Kristina’s parents found out and stepped in like they always did, sweeping everything under the rug before I even got close?I leaned back against the seat and let out a long, slow breath. No. This was bigger than me. If I wanted this to stick, I needed to do it right. And that meant calling Denver, a cop friend of mine who has always wanted to help but I always make him stay away so he won't lose his job but this time I was ready for anything.Without wasting any seconds, I dialed his number. He picked up on the second ring.“Julian?”“Yeah, it’s me,” I said, forcing my voice to stay steady. “I need your help. Can we mee
Heiress Return: Revenge Of The Crippled Ex-Wife Chapter 94
Chapter 94Julian’s POV.Clarence was finally discharged late that evening. When the doctor handed her the medications and instructions, I could see she was tired—more tired than I expected after just a few days in the hospital. The doctor spoke calmly, explaining everything clearly, but Clarence’s body language told the real story. She shifted uncomfortably, avoided eye contact, and kept quiet. I knew she was already sick of being treated like she was fragile. I understood that. I wanted her to rest, but I also understood how frustrating it could be.Outside the hospital, the air was cool and the sky had darkened. I suggested we skip the rest of the trip. The resort was just two cities away, but I knew she didn’t have the strength to enjoy it.“We should just head home,” I said quietly, keeping my voice low so I wouldn’t sound pushy.Clarence looked over at me, biting her lip like she was trying to decide if I was right. “But we promised the others...”I sighed gently. “I know. But
Heiress Return: Revenge Of The Crippled Ex-Wife CHAPTER 93.
Clarence’s POV.Back in my room, I sank onto the bed, feeling exhausted. My thoughts drifted off to Julian’s worried eyes as he carried me down the slope. His arms had been so steady, so warm against me, and I couldn’t shake the memory of his voice, calm and gentle as he told me he had me.But I didn’t deserve that. Not his kindness. Not his concern. Not after everything I had put him through.I pressed my palms against my eyes, trying to block out the way he had looked at me as if I was someone worth caring about. The way he kept asking if I was okay, offering to stay with me, to take me to the hospital. But I couldn’t let him.“Go, Julian,” I had said, my eyes fixed on the floor. “I’m fine.”He had hesitated, his eyes searching mine, but I couldn’t look at him. If I did, he would see the guilt and the shame that sat heavy in my chest. He would see the way my heart ached every time he touched me, every time he looked at me with that same old tenderness that I didn’t deserve.Finall
Heiress Return: Revenge Of The Crippled Ex-Wife CHAPTER 92.
Julian’s POV.After breakfast that morning, everyone gathered outside the resort. Today was the second day of the work trip, and we were going on a hike. The staff was filled with energy, talking and laughing as they adjusted their backpacks or stretched their legs. But I hung back a little, scanning the crowd until my eyes found Clarence.She stood away from the group, looking absent minded. Olivia was next to her, chatting eagerly but Clarence didn’t seem to be listening. Her expression was distant, and my mind kept drifting back to last night and how she had left that morning afraid that someone might see us together.I wasn’t sure what to make of it. Was she regretting what happened? Or was something else weighing on her? I wanted to ask, but I didn’t want to push her.“All right, everyone!” the trip coordinator called, breaking my thoughts. “We’ll take the company bus down to the mountain. Let’s get moving.”One by one, we filed into the bus parked nearby. I hoped to sit next to
Heiress Return: Revenge Of The Crippled Ex-Wife Chapter 91
Clarence’s POV. I woke up to the sounds of laughter drifting through the window. I had stayed out late with Julian until I was almost freezing before we headed back and bid each other goodnight. I didn't know what came over me last night but I felt so free around him, as free as I used to back then at college when I would tell him everything. Maybe it was because I needed company and hadn't had one in a long time or was it just my returning feelings for him doing all of that? I dragged myself out of bed, my feet hitting the cold floor. The schedule said we were supposed to meet by the lake this morning. When I stepped outside, everyone was already assembled and Julian was already there, standing by the lake with a few of our colleagues. He looked so at ease with his arms crossed over his chest. I watched him for a second longer than I should have, letting my gaze linger on the line of his jaw, the curve of his smile as he laughed at something someone said. “Clarence,” Julia
Heiress Return: Revenge Of The Crippled Ex-Wife Chapter 90.
Clarence’s POV. That evening during the closing hours, Julian showed up at my door. He didn’t bother with a greeting. The look on his face said it all. “We need to go see Olivia,” he said. I straightened up in my chair, feeling the tension roll off him. “Do you have her address?” “We can get it from her application,” he said. “We need to catch her off guard before she catches the wind and decides to avoid us.” I nodded. It made sense. The last thing I wanted was for Olivia to slip away before we got the truth. I grabbed my bag, my mind racing as we headed to the parking lot. Julian led the way and opened the car door for me. I got into the passenger seat and he joined in the driver’s seat and started the car. “Her place is about an hour away,” He said as he pulled out of the lot. “I know the area.” I nodded, staring out the window. My mind kept circling back to Olivia. The way she used to hang around my office, offering coffee or a snack, pretending to be a friend. The
