THE BILLIONAIRE'S REBORN WIFE Chapter 90: Alicia, Please!
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
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REBORN WIFE Chapter 89: Divorce Papers
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

The moment Ethan heard Uncle Regan’s name, his face turned ghastly pale. Alicia lowered her gaze, noticed his expression, and placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder.Then she turned to Rose. “He’s probably just around to take a look. Your grandfather’s birthday is still a week away.”Rose nodded, then slumped onto the couch, stretching as she yawned. “Sister-in-law, I’m so hungry.”Andy had lost all interest in his sister’s antics. He turned and wheeled himself up the staircase. Alicia watched his retreating back, an idea flickering across her face, then smiled at Rose.“Do you want the mansion staff to cook for you, or should I do it?”Rose’s eyes widened. “Sister-in-law, you can cook?”“Of course,” Alicia replied, her tone certain.Thinking of Andy, Rose immediately lost her curiosity. She knew that if she made Alicia cook, her brother would be furious and throw her out on the spot.“Forget about it, Sister-in-law,” she muttered grudgingly.Alicia, seeing right through her, didn’t

In that moment, Ethan realized Emily wouldn’t be any help at ae sneered, disgust curling his lip. “Only lazy women who don’t want to work say things like that. I’m not surprised you do.”Emily replied without a flicker of concern. “Call me whatever you want. I’m just telling you there’s no way in hell I’m doing some low-class job for peanuts. I’m above that. I’m not doing it.”With that, she turned and walked away. Watching her recede, Ethan sighed, regret knotting in his chest. He regretted trading Alicia for Emily.He went to the kitchen, cooked himself a meal, then headed upstairs. At his bedroom door, he grasped the knob—locked.His face hardened. He knocked. “Emily, open the door.”Silence.He pounded again, anger rising. “Emily, open this door. Now.” He yanked at the handle, breath growing ragged.After several minutes of hammering and calling her name with no response, he finally stepped back, simmering with frustration. He turned away and went to the other bedroom.Sleep didn’

Agatha looked at Andy, then spoke with an even voice. “I made mistakes in the past. But I’ve grown—I’m a mother now, and I’ve learned to reflect on what I did. Don’t cling to yesterday. Let’s build a future together.”Andy shook his head, a sneer tugging at his lip. “There is no future for us. You weren’t my mother when I needed one. You won’t be one now that I don’t. I’ve accepted a life without motherly love.”Agatha’s face fell. She turned to Alicia, pleading. “Dear, talk to your husband. Help him let go of these old grudges.”Alicia’s voice remained calm. “My husband’s word is law to me. I will always stand with him.”Agatha stared, momentarily stunned. In that instant, she saw how perfectly matched Andy and Alicia were—though she still suspected Alicia was only pretending. She glanced between them before warning, “You and your wife should leave the country for now. I’m going to speak with your uncle Regan. I’ll also reach out to your deadbeat father and bring him to face Regan wit
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REBORN WIFE Chapter 85: Agatha's Visit
Emily sneered. “I regret it even more now. Marrying you was my biggest mistake. I’ll suffer for it till the day I die—all because I married a wretched man like you.”The word wretched hit Ethan like a slap. His fists curled, heat rose behind his eyes, and his chest throbbed with anger. The longer he stared at her, the more he feared he’d do something he couldn’t take back.He spun on his heel, slid into the driver’s seat, and stared straight ahead. He waited until Emily tossed her shopping into the trunk, then climbed in beside him.He expected an apology. None came.Instead, Emily angled her phone and started posing, smiling sweetly at the screen. The sight grated on him until he couldn’t hold it in.“Instead of thinking about a way forward,” he sneered, “you’re busy snapping useless pictures.”She rolled her eyes. “Thinking and hard work are for men, not for ladies. I’m meant to be pampered and spoiled, not overworked. Okay?”Something in him snapped. He slammed the brakes and pulled
