Joan kept glancing at her email, waiting for the meeting notice she had overheard Nolan say would be held today.

Helen gently rubbed her back, then moved in front of her and perched on the edge of her makeup vanity. “Or maybe he wasn't planning to include you at all?”

Joan shook her head as she dropped her phone onto the vanity and picked up her eyeshadow and brush.

“A meeting can't be held without me there. He's only able to call a meeting because of his mother's position in the company,” Joan

  • His Rejected Wife Became a Billionaire    Chapter 95

    Her thoughts still swirled when her phone began ringing in her hand.Joan's name stared back at her from the screen and her heart skipped.She suddenly felt uncomfortable seeing Joan's call. She had just received money from Joan's enemy, and Joan calling right at that moment made her pulse race.Her fingers trembled slightly as she answered.“Hello,” Helen said, her lips trembling.“Are you okay?” Joan's concerned voice came through.She quickly forced her voice to sound cheerful, though an edge of fear slipped into her tone. “Yes, I am. I... needed to come see my mother.”“Okay... but is everything okay with her?” Joan asked.“Yes,” Helen nodded quickly. “She's perfectly fine now.”“Great. I just called to check up on you,” Joan replied softly. “If you need anything, let me know, and you're free to resume anytime you feel ready.”It seemed like Joan got distracted, as the call ended abruptly.Helen let out a breath she had been holding. Why was she suddenly feeling this strange about

    “Mom, this is why you need to treat Eliana right, so Grandma doesn't suspect,” Keon said, frustration edging his voice once Loretta was out of earshot.Alice's face scrunched up, her teeth clenched. “Am I not trying my best? Eliana is a handful and the only person capable of handling her is Kimberly.”She paused, then added, “Maybe you should take her to Kimberly while you focus on bringing Joan back into this house and getting her pregnant.” She walked away before he could respond.Frustration tightened in Keon's bones. Did Alice think bringing Joan back would be easy, let alone discussing pregnancy with her?He exhaled deeply, forcing himself to calm down. His gaze softened as he looked at Eliana, who was resting her head on his shoulder.“Baby,” he called gently, and Eliana's small, tired eyes flickered up to him. “You need to be a good girl if you want Kimberly to return to this house.”Eliana nodded without a word. Keon planted a soft kiss on her forehead before handing her to on

    How Kimberly managed to get to Sarah's house was sheer luck. She almost crashed her car, her eyes clouded with endless tears.“I still don't know what you're doing with that man,” Sarah huffed as she handed her a glass of wine. “You’ve sacrificed too much for him to be treating you this way.”Kimberly sniffled, wiping her face with a tissue. “You know how much I love him... and I know he still loves me. He's just going through a difficult phase. It will pass.”A smirk tugged at the corner of Sarah's lips. She hated seeing her friend like this. Kimberly had been such a vibrant, career-driven woman until she met Keon.She had become so obsessed and madly in love with him that she did everything to make him happy, even at the expense of her own happiness.Keon had reciprocated in his own way, he never let her lack anything and had always been there for her, but still, Sarah felt Kimberly had loved him way too much.“Are you telling me you're still going to wait for him until he's done go

    “I’m glad you're here, Tristan,” Laura said with a gentle smile as she stepped aside to let them into the house.Edward had been furious ever since they returned from the conference, and he'd been taking out his aggression on Laura.Laura had called Tristan several times to tell him about his father's angry outburst, but he hadn't answered. Seeing them walk in now, her heart finally relaxed.Once they were settled, Edward walked in, wearing his usual deep frown. With that expression, Tristan looked so much like a younger version of him.Joan stood to greet him, but he kept a straight face, didn't even look in her direction, and went straight to his seat.Tristan's brows furrowed. “My fiancee is greeting you, Dad.”Edward's frown deepened. “Tristan,” he called, shifting in his seat to face him. “Ms. Langley is married. You can't possibly be engaged to a married woman.”Tristan exhaled deeply. “She's not,” he said, his voice firm and unflinching. “I brought her here so she could tell y

    “She's so smart that she got the post taken down almost immediately,” Bridget went on.“She can't even explain herself,” she added with a low hiss. Britney shot to her feet. “Dad,” she snapped. “Call your daughter to order.”“But she's telling the truth,” Grace yelled back.Britney and Joan's gazes met, and Britney felt a flash of pity for her. Joan sat quietly, trying hard to calm her racing pulse.She could have justified herself, but explaining anything in front of that family would be the worst mistake she could ever make. So she stayed silent, hoping Tristan or Helen would show up to get her out of it.She had thought the picture hadn't gone viral enough to reach people who knew her, but she was wrong. Or was Britney behind it and just pretending?Laura turned her chair to face her, her gaze accusatory. “You need to say something about this accusation. Your silence will only make things worse.”“Listen,” Edward cut in, his voice sharp. “You will not drag my family name through t

    Justin flinched at that and lunged toward Joan.“What did you do to my daughter?” he snapped, glaring at her.Joan's pulse raced, fear clutching her chest. “I did nothing.”Fortunately for her, Tristan had been informed of the situation. The moment he heard it involved Joan, he rushed out in the middle of the program.Security was already there, but they couldn't seem to handle the situation.“Rush her to the hospital,” Tristan said sharply as he stormed into the middle of the crowd.He grabbed Joan's hand and pulled her to his side, shielding her from Justin. His furious gaze flickered over the security team.“You're all fired!”Everyone froze, exchanging glances, but no one dared to speak. His presence alone was intimidating and heavy.He turned to Justin, his face slowly turning calm. “Joan had no intention of hurting your daughter,” he said. “But regardless, I'll cover her medical expenses.”He didn't wait for a response. He walked away with Joan following behind him.Justin clenc
