Chapter 161 Strange feeling

Penulis: Ela Osaretin
Desmond hesitated, a strange feeling nagging at him. Something about this challenger's poise stirred a faint memory.

Before he could fully grasp it, the image of Amelia flashed in his mind. Heat rose to his face. The memory of losing to a woman in a fight was humiliating.

Composing himself, Desmond studied the figure before him, trying to understand why Amelia’s image surfaced when he looked at this challenger.

The mask revealed little except sharp eyes and the subtle movement of an Adam's apple

  • My Horrible Ex-Husband Can't Move On, But I Can   Chapter 397 Charge it

    “Mr. Sullivan, don't be fooled. They do not truly respect you, despite their words," Amelia said softly, with a deliberate hint of coyness in her voice. "What they parade as respect is nothing more than a painted mask. Beneath it lies dissatisfaction they dare not voice."Behind Amelia, Viola and Emily shared a knowing glance, stifling their laughter.Jaida's knees weakened, her complexion turning ashen. "Mr. Sullivan! That's not true. I never…”Jaida bit back her fury, her teeth grinding. How she longed to lash out at Amelia. That annoying vixen! Wasn't Lucas supposed to loathe women like her? Why was this woman not facing any consequences?“I am not dissatisfied! On the contrary, I am utterly convinced and full of admiration," Brad hastily said, his sweat dripping like rain.“Mr. Sullivan, I have always esteemed you with the highest regard, without a trace of complaint," Jett chimed in, though unease gnawed at his heart. Deep inside, dissatisfaction festered. Why was fate so cruelly

  • My Horrible Ex-Husband Can't Move On, But I Can   Chapter 396 Selfish interest

    “Mrs. Lopez is above reproach, and my brother has always been honest. There's no reason for either of them to fabricate a story." Brad straightened, his confidence swelling.They'd all made their positions perfectly clear, each one standing firm in the narrative they'd spun.Meanwhile, Viola felt mixed emotions about her earlier decision to stay quiet and not acknowledge her brother. By acting as a stranger, she finally saw how Brad would react without knowing she was part of the Sullivan family. It was a lesson, people usually took sides due to selfish interest, not the truth.A shaky voice broke the tension. "That's not true! That's not what happened at all…" The female sales assistant, her hands twisting anxiously, forced herself forward, trembling from head to toe. It took everything she had to speak up, but she couldn't stay silent while the truth was buried.Jett's head snapped toward her, his glare icy and full of warning. "What do you think you're doing?" he blurted, menace dri

  • My Horrible Ex-Husband Can't Move On, But I Can   Chapter 395 Unbothered smile

    Amelia’s lips curved into a faint, unbothered smile as she reached for her black-gold card.But just then, a voice as sharp as frost cut through the air. "What's so funny?" Lucas strode into the store, his face dark, his gaze cold and penetrating as it swept across the room.The instant their eyes met Lucas’, both Jett and Jaida shuddered violently, their bravado evaporating. They turned their heads away, unable to withstand the weight of his stare. The aura Lucas carried pressed down on them like a suffocating tide, leaving their chests tight, their legs weak, and their bodies trembling under the crushing force of his presence.“Let's hear your so-called ‘joke of the day', don't you dare disappoint me." Lucas’ gaze, cold as the dead of winter and sharp as a solitary peak piercing the sky, bore down on Jett and Jaida, trapping them beneath its merciless weight.Jett and Jaida were so startled that they shivered violently, their legs nearly giving way beneath them.Jaida studied Lucas a

  • My Horrible Ex-Husband Can't Move On, But I Can   Chapter 394 Terrifying force

    "Alright." Amelia gazed at the female sales assistant and suppressed her imposing aura, masking it so completely that the terrifying force from moments ago almost seemed like nothing but others' imagination.Her gaze shifted to Jaida and Jett. "But they owe us an apology."“And why should we?" Jaida and Jett retorted in unison, their tones dripping with disdain.“Because you mocked and ridiculed us without cause," Amelia answered, her voice sharp with ice.Now that Amelia no longer pressed forward with her imposing presence, Jaida convinced herself it had all been an act. Realization struck, she had allowed herself to be cowed by someone so much younger. Embarrassment burned in her chest, quickly curdling into anger, and her hostility toward Amelia deepened.Jaida sneered. "We're just stating the obvious. How is that mockery? Before you even set foot in this jewelry store, did you stop to think whether you could afford a single thing inside? I'd wager you can't even buy the cheapest pa

  • My Horrible Ex-Husband Can't Move On, But I Can   Chapter 393 This piece

    Viola rarely went out to purchase such things herself. More often than not, the latest designs were delivered straight to her home for her to select at her leisure. If not for past experiences, she would never have realized how some sales clerks judged customers solely by appearance, acting superior, dismissive, and haughty when they assumed the customers couldn't afford to buy any pieces.“Miss, this piece…the Heart of Romance, is the crown jewel of our store, valued at a hundred million. No trial wearing allowed. Perhaps you might be interested in looking at the earrings instead?" The male sales associate smiled as he spoke, yet his drawling tone carried a sting, each word dripping with quiet condescension.His manner might have seemed courteous on the surface, but beneath it lay biting sarcasm.Having grown up in the shelter of the Sullivan family, Viola had always been treated well within the upper circles of society. She had rarely crossed paths with such people. She could not det

  • My Horrible Ex-Husband Can't Move On, But I Can   Chapter 392 Caught her eye

    Without another word, she turned and hurried away, leaving no chance for further questions.In a blink, she vanished from the sunroom, cutting Desmond off mid-thought. Watching her rush to return the Sullivan family's heirloom, Desmond felt his earlier irritation dissolve. In its place rose an unexpected flicker of relief, even delight. So, she had no affection for Lucas and no intention of marrying into the Sullivan family.Amelia stood outside the study, her knuckles brushing lightly against the wood as she knocked on the door. After hearing from the maid that Lucas was inside, she had come straight here.“Come in." The chill in Lucas’ voice cut through the air, and only then did Amelia push the door open and step inside.The moment she entered, that same cold, detached tone reached her ears.“Mark, this had better be important."Lucas was absorbed in his work, not sparing a single glance upward.“It's me," Amelia said softly.Lucas’ hand stilled mid-motion. He instantly looked up, e

    “I had no choice but to marry you!” Damian argued, strongly. “Not marrying you back then would mean losing my place in the company.”“I guess the company is more important than your supposedly strong love then.” Amelia snarled.Lilian suddenly barged into the conversation, bristling with indignation

    Amelia stared at Lucas and asked, calmly.“So, how do you feel about my condition?”Lucas sat up and replied without hesitation.“Fine. I will give you my life in exchange of the opportunity to meet with the Gifted doctor.”There was no bluff, no hint of playfulness in his tone. He meant every word.

    “No thanks.” Amelia politely declined Mark’s offer. Then she gestured at Jessica and said.“If you don’t mind, can you take my friend home instead?”It was clear that Jessica had a few drinks so she was suitable to drive. Though she hadn’t drank to the point of intoxication, still, it wasn’t right f
