Once An Overlooked Housewife, Now A Queen Of Fortune

Raine folded her arms and watched Felix with a cold, mocking smile. His chiseled face tightened, as if admitting she was his wife would somehow end his life.But she knew the Adler family valued one thing above all else—family.Of course, Felix never had to worry about projects. Every company wanted to work with the Morel Group. They had their fingers in everything—artificial intelligence, real estate, fashion.Raine waited for him to say Bianca’s name. The moment he did, she could file for divorce without hesitation.He had just opened his mouth when Bianca jumped in first. “Honestly, what value can a mere housewife bring to her husband’s success? Success isn’t about who washes the dishes better,” she said with an exaggerated eye roll.Mrs. Adler’s brows furrowed. She turned sharply toward Bianca. “Excuse me? And who exactly is this rude woman?”Bianca’s face twisted in anger, ready to snap back, but Felix’s stern glare silenced her immediately.“My apologies, Mrs. Adler. Don’t mind

Wren pulled off her clothes and took a much needed bath in the jacuzzi, she sat inside, enjoying the way the water bubbled against her skin, there was soft music playing in the background as she sat inside,“Ugh,” she sighed, closing her eyes in relief. Unable to believe she had gone this long without a soak in the jacuzzi.Suddenly, a notification ran through, interrupting her moment of peace. She groaned in annoyance, rolling her eyes as she picked up her phone.It was a text from Felix.What drawer did you keep my underwear in? He asked and Wren scoffed in disbelief.Did this man not understand the concept of a divorce? What made him think he could talk to her like she was still his maid?Wren blocked his number immediately, still annoyed that he had cut through her peaceful thoughts.How could that man remain such a nuisance even after they had split ways?Wren decided not to allow him ruin her mood, she finished her bath and put on her favorite silk nightwear before falling into

The air fell instantly silent. Felix froze where he stood, his Adam’s apple bobbing once. Suddenly, the corner of his mouth twitched. “Wren, I just don’t want the public to misunderstand—that Morel was cruel to his divorced wife, leaving you to sink so low you have to sell your body to survive.”Without thinking, Wren slapped Felix across the face. He needed to pay for his arrogance.The crowd seemed to hold its breath. Felix snapped his head toward Wren. He opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out. Humiliation flooded him; his hands twitched as if he were restraining the urge to strike back, but Wren’s glare pinned him in place.William stepped closer to Wren, glaring at Felix as if to say, She’s not alone.“This should be the first and the last time you pull a stunt like this,” Wren said, pointing at Felix. “We’re already divorced, so the next time you harass me or my date, I’ll file for a restraining order.”Felix kept staring at her without a word, all his earlier bluster a

Felix was now standing over the body of the man he’d just hit, staring at her surprised eyes in the darkness. Wasn’t he the same man who had threatened her barely hours ago and had wanted her not to crawl back to him ever again, and yet here he stood in front of her, stretching a hand out like he was a valiant savior.Felix just couldn’t cease to amaze her with his pathetic ways, could he?“What are you doing here?” She asked him, ignoring the flare of pain in her knees as she stepped back from him in disgust.Felix started to walk closer, “I…came back to talk to you and….”“Stay back!” She yelled angrily. “You are sick. You came to talk?”She pointed at the unconscious man on the floor. “You sent this man to attack me and then you come and make a show of stopping him. You must take me for a fool.”“That’s not what happened,” Felix argued.“Shut the hell up! You don't get to play the hero after hiring a man to put a bullet in my skull.”A sudden throb exploded behind her left eye and

A blonde woman suddenly pulled Wren aside.“What do you think you’re doing? How can you stand next to our CEO?”“What on earth is going on today?” Wren wanted to scream.“Are you mute or what?” the blonde pressed, snapping her fingers in Wren’s face. “Who do you think you are, walking beside President William, acting like somebody? Don’t you know your place?”Another woman nearby gave a cold snort. “With that face and brain of his, plenty of people would kill for the chance to get close. And she thinks she’s somebody?”Wren almost laughed at them to their faces. She turned toward William, wondering how these employees didn’t even know who she was.“Are you laughing right now?” the blonde sneered.“What is she, some kind of intern?” another employee muttered with disgust. “She’s so disrespectful.”Wren couldn’t hold back any longer. She doubled over, laughing right in front of them.The blonde narrowed her eyes into slits, anger flashing. “You think this is a joke, don’t you?”“In fact
