His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 179: The Filing
POV: Yessica | EdinburghShe had been at the kitchen table since five.Victor Hale had sent three more messages after the first one. She had read all of them before Lewis came downstairs at half past six, found her there, and sat down without asking if she was all right because he had learned the difference between her needing assistance and her needing company."Tell me what he said," Lewis said.She read him the relevant parts.Sienna had found records from Victor Hale's previous firm — a 2019 share manipulation he had believed was buried. She offered him a choice: cooperate or she gave the records to the FCA.He cooperated. For eighteen months he fed her internal information about Bellamy Holdings — schedules, restricted filings, personal data from governance documents.When the operation escalated to children and custody matters and medical records being used as logistics intelligence, he tried to stop. She threatened him again. He kept going."He is a witness and a defendant," Le
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 178: Every Room
POV: Yessica | EdinburghEleanor said the name.Yessica sat very still.Victor Hale. Non-executive director. Bellamy Holdings board, three years. The one she had defended to her COO eighteen months ago when there had been questions about his judgment in the Harland Capital governance review."What is in the communications?" she asked. Her voice came out even.Eleanor read excerpts. Not summaries — actual lines.Home address confirmed per calendar share. Home study date: 14th, per CEO schedule document. Third child arrival week of the 22nd, per board governance update. Allergy detail pulled from restricted family schedule filed with board compliance office.Yessica looked at Lewis.He looked back at her."He had restricted access to the compliance filings," she said to Eleanor. "The family schedule was submitted during the governance review about my CEO availability last year. It was board-level only. Not circulated externally.""I know," Eleanor said. "We have the access logs. He open
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 177: All Three
POV: Yessica | EdinburghThey did not go to bed.The sitting room was quiet, the house settled, the silver bands new on their right hands, and Yessica had said she needed to have a conversation about Catherine so they were having it."She did three things," Yessica said. "Accepted the defamation judgment. Used her board standing to close the Sienna thread — which I still think she did without your permission, and that is a problem we have not finished with. And then called the FCA voluntarily this morning." She looked at him. "None of it undoes what she did. But there is a difference between those actions and performance, and I can acknowledge that difference.""What do you want to do?" Lewis asked."I want to set terms," she said. "Supervised. Scheduled. Our timeline, not hers. She gets access to the children because those children deserve to know their grandmother — the actual one, not the one who filed petitions. But every condition is ours and they are not negotiable."Lewis was q
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 176: The Day We Chose
POV: Yessica | EdinburghThe knock came at eight fifty-seven.Lewis was already in the hallway. He opened the door without hesitation and took the envelope from the process server without a word. Signed the receipt. Closed the door.He turned around and Eleanor was on speaker before Yessica had come halfway down the stairs."Counter-claim received," Lewis said."I have the filing details already," Eleanor said. "This has no standing while the FCA investigation is active. Marcus cannot file civil counter-claims against a principal while he is under criminal investigation without the court flagging the conflict. We respond Monday and this disappears within the week.""Monday," Lewis said.He handed the envelope to Yessica. She looked at it once, turned it over, and set it on the hallway table."Monday," she said.Eleanor said: "Enjoy today."The call ended.Lewis looked at her."Done," he said."Done," she agreed.***Upstairs, Claire was wearing her dress and informing Ethan that he ha
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 175: Before Saturday
POV: Lewis | EdinburghLewis stood at Harrison's door for a long moment after the words landed.Four months. You were going to let him disappear.Harrison looked at him without the composure routine, without anything managed. Just an old man in a doorframe who had decided, late and irrevocably, to tell the truth."Why are you telling me now?" Lewis said."Because after Saturday, when Ethan is more fully part of this family — and he will be, I can see it already — I want him to know his grandfather told the truth when it mattered." Harrison paused. "Even when it was very late.""So this is for Ethan.""It is for Ethan. It is also for me." He held Lewis's gaze. "Both things can be true."Lewis looked at him."I will not pretend this changes nothing," he said. "It changes something. But I know who you are now. And I know who you were then." He picked up his keys. "I am going home."Harrison nodded. "Tell Yessica tonight.""I always do now," Lewis said.***She was at the kitchen table wh
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 174: What Harrison Knew
POV: Lewis | EdinburghHarrison was in the sitting room when Lewis arrived, a blanket across his lap that he had clearly not chosen for himself. He looked better than the hospital version — more color, more irritation at being stationary."You got her message," Harrison said."Last night." Lewis sat across from him. "Ask Harrison why. That was all she sent.""Yes." Harrison looked toward the window. "She told me she was going to send it.""So she asked your advice about the judgment.""She did." He adjusted the blanket and seemed to find it offensive. "She came to me two days ago. She had the proposition ready — the board seat, the restitution, the testimony. She wanted my read on whether you would accept it.""And you told her?""I told her you would refuse it. I told her you would refuse it specifically because she attached a threat to it." Harrison looked at him directly. "I told her that if she wanted to demonstrate any genuine change, the proposition was already the wrong approac
