Beatrice lit up the moment Alicia agreed. Alexander’s brow furrowed with worry, but he held his tongue. After dinner, Alicia returned to her room.

While she was working at her computer, she heard footsteps. She quickly hid the laptop just as a knock sounded at the door.

The door creaked open. Alexander slipped inside, guilt etched across his face. He crossed the room and sat on the edge of the bed where Alicia lay.

“I’m sorry, my dear daughter,” he said softly. “I’m afraid my wife is plotting against you. But I’ll help you, quietly. I won’t let her harm you.”

“I know you’re doing a lot, Dad,” Alicia replied. “What I really want is to know how my mom died.”

“I’ve already hired private investigators to look into that day,” Alexander said. “I’ll tell you as soon as there’s news.”

He leaned forward, kissed her forehead, and murmured, “Good night, Cathy.” Then he rose and slipped out.

Once he left, Alicia got up and returned to her computer.

Alexander didn’t notice Beatrice watching from t

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S REBORN WIFE   Chapter 94: Cause Trouble

    Andy had expected it—Rose would eventually bring up the imposter his wife had turned into on the night of the bachelor party.“He isn’t back yet. We’re here for Grandpa’s birthday—stop bringing up love matters,” Andy said coldly to Rose.He moved his wheelchair forward. Rose pouted, then grumbled, “Big brother, why don’t you want me to get married?”The corner of Andy’s lips twitched. His sister seemed determined to marry an imaginary man. He glanced at his wife, but Alicia’s face remained expressionless.His lips twitched again. Rose trailed behind them with her head lowered, her heart full of complaints.“I’ll go talk to my grandfather,” Andy told Alicia.Alicia nodded, and Andy left. After he was gone, she sat quietly. She could feel the eyes on her, but she didn’t flinch.She heard some guests gossiping, but she stayed calm, unmoved despite their hurtful words.“She looks like a gold-digger. How can she marry a man who can’t even father a child? She must have done it to inherit hi

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S REBORN WIFE   Chapter 93: Where Is Your Brother

    A deep voice crackled through the phone’s speaker. “Why are you calling me?”Andy froze. He didn’t even know why he’d dialed his uncle. Fear had clamped down so tightly that whatever words he’d meant to say slipped away.He pressed his lips together and squinted, forcing his thoughts into order. After a long moment, he managed, “Are you back?”An eerie burst of laughter answered him, followed by the flat, final beep of a disconnected call.Andy stared at the screen, hollow and uncertain. He set the phone down and remained in his study, unable to decide his next move. His fists tightened until the joints cracked.Then, narrowing his eyes, he formed a plan. He wheeled himself out of the study and returned to the bedroom. He looked at Alicia with a softened gaze; worry etched lines across his face as he weighed whether to take her to his grandfather’s house the next day.Before dawn, Andy rose and slipped out with Assistant Luke, who had arrived early. He believed Alicia was still asleep

    After listening to the man, Ethan, drunk and unsteady, lurched to his feet.“I’m the man of the house. I’m going to do what you said—I’ll take a girl home,” he declared.The man gave him a thumbs-up. “That’s the spirit.”Ethan turned and staggered out of the bar.Left alone, the man leaned back in his chair, tapping his thumb against the table for a few seconds. Then he stood, walked into the bathroom, pulled out his phone, and made a call.“It’s done,” he said into the receiver, and hung up.He left the bathroom, satisfied. The plan he’d set in motion played out the next morning.Emily crawled out of bed, sour and sleep-deprived. Voices—loud, exaggerated—had leaked through the wall from Ethan’s room all night and kept her awake. Irritated, she marched down the hall and rattled his doorknob. Locked.She pounded the door with her fist. “Open this door, Ethan! Open the damn door!”No answer. The noises continued. Furious, she smacked the door again, then gave up and stormed back to her

    After kneeling for more than ten minutes, Ethan rose, walked to his parked car, got in, and drove home.When he arrived, Emily wasn’t there. His anger flared. He headed to the kitchen and started cooking. He had just finished preparing his dinner when Emily returned.The moment he saw her, Ethan stood, fixing her with a cold stare. “Why didn’t you stay where you went? Why come back? Did he not want you to spend the night at his place?”Emily frowned, impatience cutting through her tone. “I decide where I sleep.”“You should go back to where you came from,” Ethan replied, voice still icy.Raising an eyebrow, Emily said lazily, “I’m not the cause of your frustration. I’m tired. I’m going upstairs to sleep.”She started toward the staircase. Ethan reached out and grabbed her wrist. She looked at him and sneered, “Are you sure you want to do this?”Jaw tight, Ethan let go. Emily grinned. “Good boy.”She ascended the stairs, and he watched her go, fists clenched and eyes cold.Ethan pushed

    Ethan left the house only a few minutes later and didn’t return until dusk. He came back tired and stung by rejection—everywhere he went, people turned their backs on him.He gritted his teeth. “Whoever is behind this conspiracy will pay for everything I’m going through,” he said coldly.Inside, he cooked a lonely dinner. It was nearly ten when the door creaked open and Emily swaggered in, humming under her breath.“Coming back to your matrimonial home at this hour?” Ethan asked, voice like ice. “Why don’t you marry the bastard you’ve been frolicking around town with?”Emily rolled her eyes. “You talk too much,” she said, flat and unbothered.His expression faltered. He pointed to the coffee table. “Those are the divorce papers. Sign them so my lawyer can file tomorrow.”“Oh,” Emily said, almost amused. She crossed to the table, picked up the pen, and signed with swift, elegant strokes. Then she set the pen down, rose, and headed upstairs without another word.Ethan stared, stunned. I

    Ethan stared at Emily in disbelief. He remembered how she used to police him—how she would panic whenever she saw a woman near him. But now, it felt like she was pretending not to care at all.“Emily, do you still love me?” he asked.No answer came. Instead, he heard loud snoring—she had fallen asleep.Irritated, Ethan left the room and slept in the guest room. He lay awake for a long time, turning from side to side, his mind churning deep into the night. When he finally drifted off, it was late.By the time he woke the next morning, the sun was already up. He got out of bed and searched the house—the living room, the kitchen, the courtyard, even the garden—but Emily was nowhere to be found. He went into her bedroom and found it empty. He called her several times, but she didn’t pick up.He showered, dressed, and headed to the company where he had applied for an interview. When he arrived, he scanned the printed list on the wall. His name wasn’t there. With his qualifications, he shou
