Spent My Love, Cleared the Score Chapter 9
A week later, Tracie showed up at my door, dragging Everett along to apologize. He was deathly pale, barely conscious, and looked like he was clinging to his last breath.Her men forced him to his knees, and her eyes were swollen from crying. "I'm sorry, Aston. I've looked into everything, so now, I know that he's been the mastermind behind everything."All these years, he's been exploiting our sympathy and trying to take your place in our hearts. I gave him what he wanted and made him donate all the blood he never gave, so are you satisfied now?"From the balcony, I could see the needle marks covering Everett's arms and couldn't help but lament how frightening Tracie's ruthlessness was. But now, a delayed apology meant nothing to me.As I looked at the scene, all I was concerned about was whether the noise outside the gates would disturb Jayne and affect her pregnancy. When I returned to the bedroom and saw her sleeping soundly, I finally felt at ease.After tucking her in, I t

Tracie had always been sharp and brilliant, but now, she couldn't bring herself to accept the truth."Impossible! Everett would never do something like that! "Aston, did you collude with the nurse to lie to us?"Tracie and Adeline turned to me at the same time with suspicion written all over their faces.Over the past year, I had lost count of how many times they had given me the same look. Every single time, I would explain myself, but today, I felt nothing at all and calmly said, "Do you think you're worth that much effort? I stopped caring about what you both think a long time ago."When Tracie heard the words "stopped caring", she looked as if she had been struck by a blow. Tears spilled like beads from a broken necklace as she cried out, "You're not allowed to say that!"I'll have my men investigate everything right now. If it really isn't your fault… I'll have Everett apologize to you in person."Wait for me, Aston. I'll give you an answer."Adeline's eyes were bloodshot

My voice carried across the room and began drawing attention. Tracie felt her dignity crumble under the odd stares. She eyed Edmund and roared, "I know exactly why you're here! "You want to land a partnership with Mr. Welch, but I won't let you have it your way. No one will help you except for me, Aston."She confidently turned to Edmund. "I'm willing to give up three percentage points on this project, as long as you work with my company."Then, she raised an eyebrow at me and added, "If you don't divorce her today, the deal's mine."Jayne let out a soft laugh of pure disdain. "Have you forgotten who is standing next to him? Who do you think is the better partner here, Mr. Welch?"Without a second thought, Edmund extended his hand to me with a beaming smile. "My apologies, Ms. Mayer, but I find Mr. Reeve's new company to be far more innovative and promising."After shaking Edmund's hand, I smiled and watched as Tracie's face turned a sickly shade of gray. "Sorry, Tracie, but m

I leaned in and kissed Jayne on the lips. "Thank you, honey."The kiss lasted a long time.…Jayne got me an assistant, handled the HR, and took care of nearly every operational detail of the company. She told me clients were crucial for a new company and offered to introduce me to contacts.I laid out several carefully selected client profiles and asked, "I've finalized the foreign projects, but I'm still vetting clients. Which of these looks best to you?"She took over the materials and pointed to a company owned by a man named Edmund Welch. "Mr. Welch. His subsidiaries are all over Atheria, and he has a dedicated user base for his products. But I can't guarantee that you can close the deal."Say… Dad's attending a business gala the day after tomorrow. I'll get us invitations and bring you there."…When Jayne and I made a grand entrance at the business gala, we drew waves of greetings. I scanned the room and spotted Edmund. But just as I was about to approach, I noticed Tr

I shot Tracie and Adeline a cold look. All my prior submissiveness had vanished. "Listen carefully, Tracie. Our engagement ended the moment you swapped the bride, and from now on, you and I have nothing to do with each other."As for you, Adeline, go ahead if you want to be Everett's sister. We will no longer stay in touch either."With that, I told the bodyguards at the door to drive them out.Tracie and Adeline never left. They stubbornly stayed outside the villa, waited for me to come out and give them an explanation. But I couldn't be bothered.Jayne and I got married, and the wedding was just a simple ceremony. She wanted a destination wedding, so we held a small gathering at home and invited close friends and family to a meal.Adeline was my only remaining family, but since she had long chosen Everett over me, I didn't let her in. So, there were no family members on my side.The Coopers never probed. Instead, they smiled throughout the meal and asked where Jayne and I pla

I never expected Jayne to arrive in a fleet of Rolls-Royces. The lead car bore a striking license plate, A8888.Wasn't that car supposed to belong to Lincoln Cooper, the wealthiest man in Crisea?When Lincoln himself stepped out of the car and placed Jayne's hand in mine, I was completely stunned. The woman I had married on a whim when everything had gone wrong turned out to be the daughter of Crisea's wealthiest man!Seeing the stunned look on my face, Jayne couldn't help but laugh. "Surprised? I gave you hints, but you never asked who I was."I nervously swallowed hard and stumbled over my words. "B-But weren't you supposed to run a fish stall? How did you suddenly become Mr. Cooper's daughter?"She chuckled softly before explaining, "That was just a persona I made up to avoid the blind dates my dad set me up for. No one would dare marry me if they believed I was a widowed fishmonger."But you were different. Even when you believed I was a fishmonger, you never showed the sligh
