Chapter 139

The morning sun filtered through the Kane penthouse windows as Alexander sat at the breakfast table, reading the financial news on his tablet. Steam rose from his coffee cup while Mona buttered toast at the counter, her silk robe catching the light.

"Listen to this," Alexander said, his voice carrying a mixture of satisfaction and disbelief. "Miller Financial has begun foreclosure proceedings on the Caldwell mansion. The family has thirty days to vacate."

Mona paused with the butter knife in her hand. "Thirty days? That's incredibly fast."

Alexander scrolled through the article, his eyes scanning the details. "They owe over fifty million dollars. Multiple mortgages, unpaid taxes, defaulted loans. Richard leveraged that house to the breaking point."

Mona walked over and sat beside Alexander, reading over his shoulder. The article included a photograph of the Caldwell mansion - a grand three-story structure with white columns, perfectly manicured gardens, and wrought-iron ga

  • RISE OF THE EX WIFE : Mona's Revenge   Chapter 140

    Chapter 140Lora sat in her car across the street from Bennett Tower, watching through rain-streaked windows as people in expensive suits walked in and out of the building that should have been hers. Her hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly her knuckles had turned white, and her breathing came in short, sharp bursts."That should be me," she whispered to herself, staring at the golden letters spelling "BENNETT CORPORATION" above the entrance. "I'm a Bennett. I was born to run that company."Three weeks had passed since the miscarriage. Three weeks since Richard's death. Three weeks since their world had collapsed completely. But instead of grieving or healing, Lora's pain had twisted into something darker, more dangerous.She pulled out her phone and scrolled through news articles about James Bennett, reading the same stories over and over until the words burned themselves into her mind."Nineteen-year-old business prodigy James Bennett signs billion-dollar deal with Global Tec

  • RISE OF THE EX WIFE : Mona's Revenge   Chapter 138

    Chapter 138The envelope from Miller Financial sat on the Caldwell mansion's entrance hall table like a death sentence. Emily stared at it for ten minutes before finding the courage to break the seal. Her hands trembled as she unfolded the official papers inside."Notice of Foreclosure Proceedings. You have thirty days to vacate the premises."The words blurred as tears filled Emily's eyes. This house had been her fortress, her symbol of power, her connection to generations of Caldwell history. Now it was being taken away like everything else.Samuel found his mother sitting on the marble steps of the grand staircase, the foreclosure notice scattered around her feet. Her mascara had run down her cheeks in black rivers, and her usually perfect hair hung loose and wild."Mother?" Samuel's voice was soft, careful. "What happened?"Emily held up one of the papers with a shaking hand. "They're taking the house. Thirty days, Samuel. Thirty days to pack up a lifetime."Samuel sank down besid

    Chapter 137The Caldwell Industries boardroom had never felt so different. Alexander Kane sat at the head of the long mahogany table where Emily Caldwell had ruled for twenty years. The afternoon sun streamed through floor-to-ceiling windows, casting golden light across the room where his father had once dreamed of building something lasting.Twelve board members sat around the table, their faces a mixture of curiosity and nervousness. These were the same people who had followed Emily's orders without question, who had profited from her criminal schemes, who had turned their backs when justice called."Ladies and gentlemen," Alexander began, his voice carrying the weight of authority that came with owning one hundred percent of the company. "Today marks the beginning of a new era for Caldwell Industries."Margaret Stevens, the longest-serving board member, shifted uncomfortably in her chair. "Mr. Kane, we're still processing yesterday's events. Richard's death, the ownership transfer.

    Chapter 136The morning news hit Boston like an earthquake. Every television screen, newspaper headline, and internet article screamed the same devastating story: Richard Caldwell was dead, and Alexander Kane now controlled Caldwell Industries.Emily sat in the mansion's morning room, surrounded by newspapers scattered across the Persian rug. Her hands shook as she read the headlines over and over, unable to accept what her eyes were seeing."CALDWELL DYNASTY ENDS: Richard Caldwell Dies, Transfers Company Control to Alexander Kane""SHOCKING DEATHBED CONFESSION: Caldwell Patriarch Admits Brother Was Framed""KANE INDUSTRIES CEO INHERITS RIVAL COMPANY: 'Justice Finally Served'"Samuel stood by the tall windows, watching news vans line the street outside their home. His face was hollow, aged ten years overnight by grief and shock."It's everywhere," Samuel said quietly. "Every news channel, every business journal. The whole world knows what Father did."Emily crushed a newspaper in her

    Chapter 135The hospital room door opened quietly, and Alexander Kane stepped inside, followed by Mona. The afternoon sunlight streaming through the windows caught Alexander's face, highlighting the strong jawline and deep-set eyes that were unmistakably Caldwell features.Richard's breath caught in his throat as he looked at the man he had met countless times at business events, charity galas, and corporate meetings. All those years, he had shaken hands with Alexander Kane, never knowing he was looking at his own nephew."My God," Richard whispered. "All this time... all those meetings... you were James's son."Lora shot up from her chair like a missile, her face twisted with rage. "How dare you come here! How dare you show your face in this room!"Alexander remained calm, his hands clasped behind his back. "I came because my uncle asked to see me.""You're nothing to this family!" Lora's voice cracked with fury. "You're a fraud, a liar trying to steal what doesn't belong to you!"Mo
