2025-07-06 11:37:12It wasn’t until I’d strutted out of the building that I realised maybe I’d been a tad impulsive.
But holy shit, it felt good.
I was halfway down the street when my phone rang.
‘Mrs Laurent,’ Dominic greeted.
I physically flinched.
Hearing it out loud was way worse than seeing it in a text.
‘Mr Everett.’
‘Please, just call me Dom. I just wanted to remind you,’ he went on, all polite and corporate, ‘that if there’s no activity on the card, the account will be frozen before the next monthly deposit.’
I stopped dead on the pavement. ‘What do you mean “frozen”?’
‘I mean you must spend the funds. There needs to be a transaction history, or the account locks automatically.’
I stared at my reflection in a shop window.
My mouth opened.
Nothing came out.
What the hell kind of bougie, dystopian Bar

I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis Chapter 105 When S Hit the Fan
Violet hadn’t designed them.She’d copied every piece.Not ‘borrowed’, not ‘inspired’—straight-up copy-pasted.The original was from a niche brand based in Antwerp, called Roux & Lune.They didn’t have much of a social media presence and managed barely two, three dozen sales a year.Their stuff wasn’t trending. Their designer didn’t even show her face.The business looked more like a pet project for some rich girl with too much time and daddy’s money.But during uni, my design professor had mentioned the brand in passing.I’d looked them up that night and bookmarked the whole site.And I’d followed their updates ever since.I placed the livestream screenshots of Eliza Black side by side with Roux & Lune’s catalogue photos.Not one alteration. Violet hadn’t even bothered to change the clasp.I frowned and turned to her.She was still smirking, a hip planted smugly on the edge of my desk, looking down at me through her thick lashes.‘Still staring? Babe, I hate to break it to you, but t
I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis Chapter 104 Terrifying Efficiency
Two days after I was discharged, the Grangers sent out wedding invitations.Rhys and Catherine were official.I scrolled past the announcement without blinking, then got back to work.Well, another kind of work.Most of my week had been swallowed by meetings with lawyers, tangled email threads, and too many evidence lists to count.I’d just spent the last forty-eight hours knee-deep in call logs and dusty school records, trying to build a case against Isobel Brooke.Today’s meeting was in a café off West 18th.Across from me sat Hannah Wu, LGH’s legal rep.Glossy black loafers. Navy pinstripe suit, seams crisp. Lipstick the colour of dried blood. Nails short, square, painted like a healing bruise.She turned her tablet around and tapped the screen.‘Isobel’s been questioned,’ she said. ‘But the police don’t have enough to detain her on the charges we’re pursuing. Right now, it’s just preliminary statements. No grounds for prosecution yet. But with additional witness testimony, that co

I was flicking through crap cable channels when a nurse came in.‘Mrs Laurent, there’s a man outside who wants to see you.’I sat up. ‘Did he give a name?’‘A Rhys Granger.’I sat back down. ‘I’m not receiving visitors.’‘Noted.’She came back a minute later. ‘He says he has urgent business to discuss and refuses to leave.’‘Call security.’‘Got it, Mrs Laurent.’Two hours later, my phone lit up with Louisa Granger’s name.I almost didn’t answer. I should’ve followed that instinct.She launched into it before I even said hello.Once I heard enough to get the gist, I cut her off, ‘Aunt Louisa, it wasn’t me. I didn’t take those photos. And I certainly didn’t leak the news.’‘I know, I trust you, it’s just that… Rhys says you were the only one he ran into at the hospital.’I borrowed Ashton’s line. ‘It’s a public place. Plenty of people come and go. And Rhys and Catherine were talking in a hallway. I saw them. So did the nurse. So did at least two dozen other people walking by at the tim
I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis Chapter 102 Publicity, the Wrong Kind
Ashton walked down the hallway.Loose black button-down, matching trousers, sleeves pushed up to the elbow.Nothing flashy, but you couldn’t miss him.He had a beige cashmere wrap tossed over one arm, which he draped over my shoulders.Then he took my hands and rubbed them between his palms. His fingers were warm.‘You’re freezing. Why didn’t you wear something warmer?’‘I’m fine.’ I pulled the wrap closer and gave him a quick smile. ‘Just wanted to get some air.’‘Doctor ordered bed rest. Come on.’‘Alright.’ I took his offered arm.‘Hey!’ Rhys, who’d been ignored until now, finally piped up.Ashton spared him a glance.Rhys backed up half a step, instinctively.Ashton said, flat: ‘If I hear you running your mouth about me or my wife again, you won’t just be spending three days in holding.’Rhys tried to put up a brave front. ‘I didn’t say anything.’‘Was it or wasn’t it you who called me “fake” a moment ago?’ Ashton jogged his memory. ‘Actions have consequences. So do words. You’ve
I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis Chapter 101 Wedding
‘None of your business,’ I said, already turning away now that the show was over.Rhys barked, ‘Stop! I’m not done talking to you.’‘But I am.’‘Don’t you have something to say?’‘Like what?’Rhys was scrutinising my face like he was looking for a crack in the wall. ‘Cathy’s pregnant.’I pointed at my ear. ‘I know. I heard. Not deaf.’‘We’re getting married.’Catherine, who’d been busy scowling at me, snapped her head towards him.Her jaw dropped. Her eyes went wide, suddenly so bright they outshone the lights overhead.‘Good for you,’ I said. ‘Guess that means wedding bells. Do us both a favour and leave me off the guest list.’‘Rhys! I—’ Catherine beamed. She looked radiant. Maybe it was the pregnancy, maybe it was his love—who could tell.‘Shush.’ Rhys disentangled her arm from his and stepped up to me. ‘You don’t want to come to our wedding?’‘No.’‘Why not? You afraid it’s going to be awkward?’‘Yeah, I’m afraid there won’t be enough seats for all your ex.’‘You’re not just one o
I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis Chapter 100 Pregnant
Rhys Granger was walking ahead of me, head down, flipping through a stack of paper that had the hospital’s logo on it.He had his back to me, but I’d have recognised that lanky frame and slightly hunched shoulders anywhere.Right next to him was Catherine.She sounded chipper. ‘I told you. It’s positive, right? I’m definitely pregnant! The doctor confirmed it.’I glanced at the signpost near the stairwell door. This was the obstetrics and gynaecology floor.My feet carried me forward before I’d even decided to follow; I smelled drama.The hallway wasn’t crowded, but it was busy enough that I could blend in, trailing after them without being noticed.Catherine sounded thrilled. Rhys didn’t.He kept turning the pages like he either didn’t understand the medical jargon or didn’t want to. ‘How the hell did this happen? I used protection every time!’A few heads turned at that—most people on this floor were all happy tears and heartbeat scans. Rhys was clearly not on-brand.Catherine notic
