The Ex-Wife You Tossed, Now a Billionaire’s Queen Chapter 67. When Love Turns Poison
“God, this is so good,” Evelyn murmured after tasting a bite of the stir-fried shrimp that had just been served. She picked one up and placed it on Sebastian’s plate. “You should try it.”Sebastian glanced at her briefly, then calmly ate the shrimp she’d given him. “You’re right, it’s good,” he said evenly, his tone flat, but not cold. “If you like it, eat as much as you want.”The sight made Mrs. Reed and Victoria, seated across from them, go completely silent. Everyone in the Reed family knew Sebastian never ate food that had already been touched by someone else. Even during family dinners, he refused to use the same serving spoon as others. He was obsessive about hygiene and food. Yet now, right in front of everyone, he ate something Evelyn had placed on his plate, without the slightest hesitation.Evelyn felt the curious stares around the table and instinctively touched her cheek. “What? Do I have something on my face?”Mrs. Reed quickly regained her composure. “No, dear. Go ahead
The Ex-Wife You Tossed, Now a Billionaire’s Queen Chapter 66. The Night Evelyn Was Tested
Evelyn sat calmly across from Mrs. Reed, the family matriarch, who occupied the main seat in the living room with the poise of someone used to being obeyed. The air was thick, heavy with unspoken tension, like the quiet before a storm.“Mrs. Reed,” Evelyn began quietly, “you mentioned something about the money I took from the Callahans after my divorce?”Mrs. Reed straightened her back. “Isn’t that a fact?”“It is,” Evelyn replied, her voice steady. “That was what I was entitled to.”Mrs. Reed’s eyes narrowed, her tone cold and sharp. “Entitled? Legally, maybe. But let’s be honest, after tasting luxury, women like you start thinking marrying rich and divorcing well is the fastest way to multiply your fortune. You use your looks like an investment, profit guaranteed, no loss.”Evelyn met her gaze without flinching. “You talk as if marriage itself is just a business deal.”Victoria, who was standing beside Mrs. Reed, cut in sharply. “Watch your tone, Evelyn! Do you realize who you’re ta
The Ex-Wife You Tossed, Now a Billionaire’s Queen Chapter 65. The Dinner Was Anything but Ordinary
On the other side of the city, at the Reed family estate, the morning moved in quiet rhythm. Mrs. Reed stood in the glass conservatory, watering the blooming roses.“Mom,” Victoria’s voice came softly. “Sebastian said he’s bringing her here tonight. Should we ask what kind of food she likes, so the kitchen can prepare?”Mrs. Reed glanced over her shoulder. “No need. Just make sure the dishes are decent.”“Alright. But… this is just dinner, right? No need to overdo it. Just enough to keep Sebastian’s reputation intact.”Mrs. Reed smiled faintly. “Exactly. Just dinner. But it’s still a good chance to see for myself what kind of woman she really is. What people say might not be true. I want to understand what Sebastian sees in her.”Victoria narrowed her eyes. “I still don’t get what he sees in someone like that… other than her manipulative charm, maybe?”Mrs. Reed’s face hardened. She stopped what she was doing and turned sharply toward her daughter-in-law.“Victoria,” she said flatly.

Sebastian stared out the window, his expression calm but his gaze sharp and unreadable. “Some people just don’t know how to stay still,” he said flatly.Daniel, sitting across from him, looked surprised. “What do you mean?”“It’s time to speed things up,” Sebastian replied quietly, not bothering to look at him.Night had fallen over Boston. On the outskirts of the city, a restaurant called Space was about to close. The lights were dim, the music soft. Near the window, a woman sat alone. Her dress caught the glow of the lamps, giving her an air of quiet elegance and intelligence. She looked composed, though her eyes kept drifting toward the clock and occasionally to her phone.A waiter approached with a polite smile. “Excuse me, miss. We’re about to close soon. Is your guest still coming?”The woman smiled faintly, showing no trace of annoyance. “He might be running late. Please, just bring the food first. I’ll wait a little longer.”“Of course,” the waiter said kindly.After he left,

“I said it’s none of your business, Mr. Reed. You don’t get that, do you?”“You hurt her.”The words hit Harry like a slap. He suddenly realized what had just happened. His gaze dropped to Evelyn’s wrist, still trapped in his grip, where faint red marks were starting to show. His expression stiffened, and he quickly let go. “I’m sorry, Evelyn. I didn’t mean to.”“It’s okay.”Evelyn forced a small smile, then stepped closer to Sebastian and deliberately looped her arm through his. “Harry, I already promised Sebastian I’d have dinner with him. Is there something important you want to talk about? If not, how about you join us? Sebastian’s not a stranger.”The name Sebastian seemed to echo in Harry’s head, and his face instantly went pale.“Harry? What’s wrong?” Evelyn’s voice broke through his daze.Harry blinked, as if snapping out of a trance. “No, it’s nothing. We’ll talk another time.” He glanced at Sebastian briefly, then turned and got into his car. The engine roared to life, and a
The Ex-Wife You Tossed, Now a Billionaire’s Queen Chapter 62. The Night Between Us
The night around the area had slowly quieted down.Harry stared at his phone screen, scrolling through the group chat that had gone silent an hour ago. He took a deep breath, muttering under his breath, “I’ve got plans to go shopping with Delilah tomorrow. Maybe I’ll ask her to have dinner too.”He took one last drag from his cigarette before crushing it on the ground. Then he dialed a number.“It’s me. Harry.”The woman on the other end sounded surprised, and a little too pleased. “You? Calling me this late? I thought you said we shouldn’t talk in private anymore.”“Are you free tomorrow?”There was a pause before she answered softly, “Yeah. Why?”“Dinner. Private restaurant, a friend’s place. Around six or seven. Come early.”“Do we have to go that far? I know a good private spot near my office. No one would see us. If...”“If you don’t want to, forget it.”“That’s not what I meant,” she said quickly. “Alright. I’ll come.”“Good. It’s late. Get some rest.”“You too,” she murmured b
