It was Caroline.

The moment my eyes landed on her, my heart reacted instantly—jerking violently against my ribs as if it were trying to escape. Fear rushed through me in a cold wave, tightening my chest and drying my throat. Without thinking twice, I quickly ended my call with my mum. “I’ll call you back,” I said hastily, not waiting for her response before hanging up.

My fingers trembled slightly as I lowered the phone. I forced a smile—one that felt unnatural, stretched, and fragile—then cl

  • MY UNGRATEFUL HUSBAND DIDN’T KNOW I AM THE TYCOON’S DAUGHTER   CHAPTER 89: TRUTH BEFORE THE CROWD

    I stood frozen, unable to fully process everything that had just happened. My mind spun in confusion as the reality of the situation crashed down on me. Everything had happened too fast—far too fast for me to even defend myself properly. One moment, Alan was fighting, arguing, and the next, he had publicly announced his intention to divorce me in front of the entire company.The atmosphere around us became suffocating.Employees were still gathered in clusters, whispering among themselves without bothering to lower their voices.“Oh my God… is he really divorcing her?”“She deserves it after cheating on him.”“I can’t believe she betrayed him like that.”“She’s so ungrateful.”“So the cleaner was actually the CEO’s wife all this time?”“Well, maybe he had his reasons for keeping it secret.”Each word pierced my chest like a sharp blade. Their judgmental eyes burned into my skin, making me feel exposed and humiliated. In just a few minutes, I had become the villain of the story—the che

  • MY UNGRATEFUL HUSBAND DIDN’T KNOW I AM THE TYCOON’S DAUGHTER   CHAPTER 88: I’M DONE

    Alan and Michael kept throwing punches at each other relentlessly. The fight grew more violent with every passing second. I screamed repeatedly, begging both of them to stop, but neither of them listened to me. Meanwhile, Samantha remained standing there quietly, watching the chaos unfold with a sly smile on her face, as though this was the exact moment she had been waiting for all along.Neither Alan nor Michael stopped. They continued attacking each other with uncontrollable rage while chairs scraped loudly across the floor and files scattered from the desks.Alan and Michael continued fighting aggressively as they stumbled out of Alan’s office into the hallway. Panic overwhelmed me, and I quickly rushed out to call the security guards, desperately begging them to come immediately and separate the two of them before things got worse.Frightened employees hurried backward to avoid getting caught in the fight.“Stop them!” someone yelled from the crowd.Within moments, the security gu

  • MY UNGRATEFUL HUSBAND DIDN’T KNOW I AM THE TYCOON’S DAUGHTER   CHAPTER 87: THE KISS THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING

    The air between Samantha and me turned dangerously heavy, thick with tension so sharp it felt impossible to breathe properly. My throat tightened, and every word I wanted to say seemed trapped inside me. Samantha stood in front of me with her arms folded across her chest, staring at me like she had finally uncovered the secret she had been searching for all along. Her lips curled into a cold smile before she finally spoke. “So,” she said slowly, dragging out the word as if she wanted me to suffer through every second of it. “Does Alan know that you’re cheating on him?” My eyes widened instantly. “I—I…” My voice trembled badly. “It’s not what you think. Please… it happened by mistake. It only happened once.” The moment the words left my mouth, Samantha laughed bitterly. “You kissed Michael,” she snapped. “And you’re seriously standing here telling me it happened by mistake?” I swallowed hard and nodded nervously. “Yes,” I whispered weakly. “It was a mistake.” Samantha scoffed lou

  • MY UNGRATEFUL HUSBAND DIDN’T KNOW I AM THE TYCOON’S DAUGHTER   CHAPTER 86: YOU AND MICHAEL KISSED?

    The next morning, I woke up feeling emotionally exhausted. My body still felt weak from everything that had happened, but my mind refused to rest. Too many thoughts crowded my head at once. Alan’s cold behavior from the previous night kept replaying in my mind over and over again like a painful movie I couldn’t stop watching. I slowly climbed out of bed and headed to the bathroom. After freshening up, I stood in front of the mirror for a long time, staring at my reflection. My face looked tired. My eyes looked dull. Even I could barely recognize myself anymore. Still, I forced myself to get dressed. No matter how terrible I felt inside, there was something I needed to do. I needed answers. And the only way I could get those answers was by going to work and confronting Michael. After dressing up, I walked downstairs quietly and stepped outside just in time to see Alan preparing to leave. He was already standing beside his car. For a brief moment, I hesitated. Things between us ha

    It was Caroline. The moment my eyes landed on her, my heart reacted instantly—jerking violently against my ribs as if it were trying to escape. Fear rushed through me in a cold wave, tightening my chest and drying my throat. Without thinking twice, I quickly ended my call with my mum. “I’ll call you back,” I said hastily, not waiting for her response before hanging up. My fingers trembled slightly as I lowered the phone. I forced a smile—one that felt unnatural, stretched, and fragile—then cleared my throat in an attempt to steady myself. “Um… Caroline,” I began, my voice betraying me with its slight shake. “How long have you been here?” She didn’t answer. Instead, she started walking toward me—slow, deliberate steps that made my stomach twist. Instinctively, I moved backward, each step mirroring hers, as if distance could shield me from whatever storm she had brought with her. Then she spoke. “Have you told him?” Her voice was calm, but there was something underneath it. Someth

  • MY UNGRATEFUL HUSBAND DIDN’T KNOW I AM THE TYCOON’S DAUGHTER   CHAPTER 84: DOES ALAN KNOW?

    When Alan walked through the door that evening, something had already shifted—something quiet, but deeply unsettling. It wasn’t loud or explosive. There was no argument, no confrontation. Instead, it was something far worse: indifference. He avoided me completely. I greeted him, my voice soft, careful… hopeful. But he didn’t respond. Not even a glance in my direction. It was as if my voice had dissolved into the walls before it could reach him. As if I didn’t exist. Not a single question. Not about the hospital. Not about why I had been rushed there. Not about what the doctors said. Not even a simple “How are you?” Nothing. He walked past me like I was invisible—like I had become air in a space we once shared. A sharp pain twisted in my stomach, forcing me to clutch it instinctively. My eyes fluttered shut as I tried to steady myself, both physically and emotionally. But even then… even in that moment… Alan didn’t look at me. Not once. From the coldness carved into his expression

    Alan couldn’t help but think to himself, “What? Is this guy really interested in my wife, Audrey? Does he even realize she’s married? Of all the employees, he’s chosen her? Ugh, how disgusting!” After a moment, Alan cleared his throat and adjusted his tie, trying to maintain his composure. “Um…

    Samantha couldn’t help but voice her frustrations about the actions of the tycoon’s daughter. “First of all, she transferred the gardener, fired Alan’s closest friend, and dismissed his chief adviser. Alan is furious with me because he believes I orchestrated all of this,” she explained, her voice

    It was Michael who made my heart race unexpectedly when I saw him. I instinctively placed my hand over my chest and let my mobbing stick slip from my grasp, overwhelmed by a mix of surprise and fear. “Oh, did I scare you?” Michael asked, his tone light and teasing. I swallowed hard and replied, “

    I orchestrated the removal of Alan's chief adviser, Cassandra, but this time I didn't rely on Gabriel to facilitate the change.
