Mr. CEO, Your Contract Wife Is Gone! Chapter 73: Warm Yet Still Wary
The tension in the ballroom gradually eased as the music resumed and the guests returned to their conversations, although some still occasionally glanced curiously toward Sienna and Damian.Julian stood for a moment, watching the two of them. He noticed something different in the way Damian looked at Sienna—a genuine concern that went far beyond merely protecting the family’s reputation.“Sienna,” Julian finally spoke, a faint smile forming on his lips despite the subtle sadness hidden behind it. “Since you’re with Damian now, I’ll excuse myself. There are a few colleagues I need to meet.”Sienna turned toward him, looking slightly uncomfortable. “Julian, thank you so much for helping me earlier.”Julian nodded, offering her a sincere smile. “Take good care of yourself, Sienna. But if you ever need me, I’ll always be there for you.”Julian walked away, blending into the crowd of other guests, though deep down, he was reluctant to leave. But given the situation, Damian had more right t
Mr. CEO, Your Contract Wife Is Gone! Chapter 72: Defending Sienna
Sienna still could not believe what she had just heard. The anger she had been holding back began to surge once again, this time far greater than the sharp remarks Vivian had thrown at her on the terrace.Before Sienna could decide what she should do, Damian suddenly appeared beside them, his face showing a rare trace of concern that he seldom displayed in public.“What happened?” Damian asked, his eyes shifting between Sienna and Julian with a scrutinizing look. “Why do you both look so tense?”Julian and Sienna exchanged a brief glance before Julian finally spoke first, briefly telling Damian what he had just witnessed—Vivian bribing a server to spill a drink on Sienna.Damian’s jaw immediately tightened upon hearing the explanation. His eyes narrowed sharply as he searched through the crowd for Vivian, until he finally spotted her standing uneasily near the drinks table.Without saying another word, Damian strode toward Vivian, the cold aura radiating from his body making several g
Mr. CEO, Your Contract Wife Is Gone! Chapter 71: Vivian’s Plan
Vivian straightened her dress and put her sweet smile back on before stepping in from the terrace. Her mind was racing, quickly coming up with a new plan—one far more decisive than mere subtle jabs.She walked toward a quieter corner of the room, where several hotel servers were busy preparing trays of drinks to distribute to the guests. Vivian watched them for a moment, her eyes gleaming slyly as an idea suddenly came to her.She approached one of the young servers who looked like he had only recently started working, flashing him a sweet smile as she held out several bills.“I need a favor,” Vivian whispered softly, making her voice sound as sweet as possible. “Please make sure this tray of red wine is brought over to the woman in the navy-blue dress with long hair. I want to give her a little surprise.”The young server stared hesitantly at the money in his hand, but eventually nodded obediently without asking too many questions.Vivian smiled in satisfaction before walking away an
Mr. CEO, Your Contract Wife Is Gone! Chapter 70: Vivian’s Provocation
The brief introduction went smoothly. Vivian smiled warmly, occasionally offering Julian small compliments about his reputation in the construction business, making the atmosphere feel natural and pleasant—as though there were no hidden intentions behind her words.“I often hear the name Mercer Construction mentioned among investors,” Vivian said with genuine-sounding admiration. “You’re truly impressive, Mr. Mercer.”Julian smiled politely, responding to the compliment with humility.Sienna stood beside them without joining their conversation. She maintained a faint sense of wariness hidden behind her smile.Vivian glanced briefly at Sienna before turning her attention back to Julian, her expression suddenly becoming somewhat awkward.“Excuse me, Mr. Mercer, may I borrow Sienna for a moment?” Vivian asked, making her voice as gentle as possible. “There are a few things I’d like to ask her, woman to woman. It won’t take long, I promise.”Sienna remained silent as she looked at Vivian,
Mr. CEO, Your Contract Wife Is Gone! Chapter 69: Used to Being Left Behind
Several minutes passed after the incident with Beatrice had settled down.Damian, who had been staying by Sienna’s side, was suddenly pulled away by a business associate who wanted to speak with him in another corner of the room, leaving Sienna standing alone not far from the buffet table.Sienna watched Damian walk away. Her eyes remained fixed on the tall, respected man.In the past, Sienna had always felt a sense of emptiness whenever Damian left her alone at an event because he prioritized his business partners or associates.Yet now, Sienna was actually relieved to be left behind by the man. She used the moment to calm herself for a while. She picked up a glass of water from a passing server’s tray and took a slow sip while observing the party that was still in full swing.“Sienna.”The familiar voice made Sienna turn around. Julian stood beside her, an unmistakable look of concern on his face.“Julian,” Sienna greeted him, trying to smile despite the lingering tension on her fac
Mr. CEO, Your Contract Wife Is Gone! Chapter 68: Beatrice’s Confrontation
Sienna and the others immediately turned toward the source of the voice.Suddenly, Sienna’s fingers tightened around Damian’s arm, silently revealing just how tense she was at the sight of this woman.The woman who had always intimidated her without regard for the situation and never hesitated to humiliate her in front of others.Damian glanced down when he felt Sienna’s fingers tighten around his arm. He could sense the panic on her face.Beatrice’s voice echoed through the crowded ballroom, causing several guests nearby to turn their heads curiously. The soft orchestral music suddenly felt strangely out of place against the tension that had erupted in the middle of the ballroom.Beatrice approached with the firm click of her high heels against the marble floor. Her shimmering evening gown contrasted sharply with her hardened expression, her narrowed eyes sweeping over Sienna from head to toe.“I asked, why are you here at this party, Sienna?” Beatrice repeated, her voice sharper thi
