ผู้เขียน: Miss Jean
last update วันที่เผยแพร่: 2026-02-21 10:35:27

Phase three began with a resignation.

At 8:12 a.m., Lewis received an email from one of his longest-serving board members.

Subject: Immediate Resignation

No explanation.

No conversation.

Just a formal withdrawal, effective immediately.

Lewis read it twice.

Then once more.

It wasn’t the loss that unsettled him.

It was the silence behind it.

He forwarded the email to his legal counsel with one line:

Trace pressure points.

Within an hour, two more senior executives requested “temporary leave.”

  • The Billionaire’s Secret Baby: With His Ex-Wife   Chapter 138: The Weight of Moving Forward

    The path narrowed as they moved deeper inland, the trees growing thicker and the light filtering through in softer, scattered patterns. The ground was uneven in places, covered with roots and fallen leaves that shifted under their steps. It wasn’t difficult terrain, but it required attention. No one spoke much at first. The quiet wasn’t forced. It was natural. Each of them was adjusting in their own way, finding a rhythm again after everything they had been through. Victor led the way, his direction guided by coordinates only he seemed to fully trust. Emma stayed close to him, occasionally checking their surroundings, though her movements were less tense than before. Daniel walked a little behind them, more alert now, his usual restlessness returning in small ways. Sophia moved along the edge of their formation, her position shifting as needed, always watching. Lewis and Elizabeth walked together. Side by side. The space between them had settled into something steady. Not dis

  • The Billionaire’s Secret Baby: With His Ex-Wife   Chapter 137: The Morning That Tests Everything

    Morning came slowly. At first, it was just a faint shift in the air, a quiet change that moved through the trees before the light followed. Then the sky softened from dark to gray, and finally to pale gold as the sun rose behind the distant line of hills. The clearing looked different in daylight. Less uncertain. More real. The fire had burned down to faint embers, its warmth replaced by the gentle heat of the morning sun filtering through the leaves. The shadows that had stretched long during the night now pulled back, revealing the full shape of the place they had chosen to stop. Elizabeth woke before most of the others. Her eyes opened slowly, her body adjusting to the new light. For a moment, she didn’t move. She just lay there, her thoughts quiet, her breathing steady. Then she became aware of something familiar. Lewis. He was still there. Not exactly where he had been the night before, but close enough that it felt the same. He was sitting against a tree, one arm rest

  • The Billionaire’s Secret Baby: With His Ex-Wife   Chapter 136: The Distance They Choose

    Night settled fully over the clearing, wrapping the space in a quiet that felt deeper than before. The sky above was clear, scattered with stars that seemed brighter without the interference of city lights or distant noise. The air cooled further, carrying a steady calm that contrasted everything they had left behind. A small fire had been lit near the center, just enough to provide warmth and light without drawing attention. Its glow flickered softly against the trees, casting shifting shadows that moved gently with the wind. Victor had taken a position close to his equipment again, though he wasn’t actively working. He seemed to be thinking now, his focus turned inward rather than outward. Emma sat beside him, her posture relaxed but attentive, her eyes occasionally lifting to the sky as if trying to piece together something beyond the moment. Daniel had settled closer to the fire, one knee drawn up, his usual restless energy quieted into something more reflective. He wasn’t talk

  • The Billionaire’s Secret Baby: With His Ex-Wife   Chapter 134: The Weight of Staying

    The clearing settled into a slow rhythm as the light shifted above them. The sun moved behind the trees, casting longer shadows across the ground, turning the open space into something softer, quieter. Time passed in a way none of them had allowed it to before without urgency, without pressure. Victor remained focused on his equipment, adjusting frequencies, scanning for any signal that might reach them. Emma worked beside him, calmer now, her movements more measured as she reviewed what data they still had access to. Daniel had found a spot near the edge of the clearing, sitting against a tree with his arms folded, his usual energy replaced with a quiet kind of awareness. Sophia continued to watch everything, her position unchanged, her attention sharp. At the center of it all, Lewis and Elizabeth remained where they were. They hadn’t moved much. Not because they couldn’t. But because, for once, there was no reason to. Elizabeth shifted slightly, adjusting the blanket around he
