“Welcome back, sir.”

Franklin barely heard the chauffeur as he stepped off the private jet. The sound of his shoes hitting the tarmac felt distant, like he was moving through water instead of air.

His body was here, but his mind was somewhere else, stuck on a familiar voice, a familiar presence he hadn’t shaken off since leaving Atherton.

His hand went to his phone almost automatically.

‘I’m back.’

He stared at the message

  • The Ex-Wife’s Mega Comeback   Chapter 254 – I want my husband to be there

    Ever since her divorce, Cassie had grown used to handling everything on her own, building her life piece by piece without leaning on anyone, making decisions independently because she had no other choice, but now things were different in a way she couldn’t ignore.She was married again, and even though she was more than capable of continuing the same way she always had, there was a quiet part of her that no longer wanted to carry everything alone.She looked at the box for a moment longer before shaking her head gently. “No,” she said, her voice calm but firm. “I want my husband to be there before I open it. Thank you, Mom and Dad.”Corrine nodded, a subtle sense of relief passing through her expression as she accepted that decision, though the concern in her eyes didn’t completely fade.No matter how things appeared on the surface, she couldn’t shake the feeling that Frederick might end up telling Sienna everythi

  • The Ex-Wife’s Mega Comeback   Chapter 254 – What, you want another fight?

    Frederick reacted almost instantly, moving toward his daughter with urgency written all over him, his focus locked on Rose as he tried to close the distance between them, but just as he got close enough to reach her, Cassie rose to her feet and walked away, creating a distance between them in a way that wasn’t loud or aggressive, yet still impossible to ignore.That single action created a clear boundary, one that forced Frederick to stop short, and for a brief moment, something unfamiliar and hollow settled deep in his chest, like he had just been quietly shut out of a space he once belonged in.Still, he pushed past that feeling, softening his expression as he looked down at Rose and spoke gently, determined not to let anything else upset her.“Sweetheart, I would never send you to a boarding house, okay?” he said, his voice steady and reassuring, the kind that used to calm her instantly. “Wherever I am, that’s where you’ll

  • The Ex-Wife’s Mega Comeback   Chapter 253 – You told your friends…

    Frederick ended the call so fast it almost felt like he was trying to cut off more than just the conversation, his hand tightening slightly around his phone before he lowered it and turned toward Sienna, his expression guarded.“How long have you been standing there?” he asked, his tone sharper than usual, carrying an edge of unease he couldn’t quite hide.“I just got here,” Sienna replied, though her eyes lingered on his face like she was trying to read everything he wasn’t saying. “But I definitely heard you say you made a mistake, so don’t brush me off. What’s going on?”Frederick shook his head almost immediately, like he had already decided there was no version of this conversation he was willing to have. “It’s nothing,” he said, forcing his voice to stay even. “Dad is doing better now, so we’ll be able to go home soon.”Sienna didn’t respond right a

  • The Ex-Wife’s Mega Comeback   Chapter 252 - I just feel like I made a mistake

    Franklin had been in the middle of celebrating Scarlet’s pregnancy, riding that rare kind of high that made everything feel lighter, brighter, almost unreal, when his phone suddenly started ringing and cut straight through the moment.He didn’t even hesitate at first, already smiling to himself as he reached for it, fully expecting to see Cassie’s name on the screen, but the second his eyes landed on Frederick’s name instead, that excitement dimmed just a little, replaced by a faint crease between his brows, though he still answered without letting it ring a second longer.“Frank, you won’t believe what Mom just told me.”Something in Frederick’s tone immediately pulled Franklin out of his celebratory mood, grounding him, and making him sit up straighter, his expression tightening with curiosity as well as concern. “What did she tell you?” he asked, his voice steady but edged with interest.&ldqu

  • The Ex-Wife’s Mega Comeback   Chapter 251 – You won’t believe what Mom just told me

    The name lingered in Cassie’s mind long after Corrine said it, echoing louder with every passing second until it became impossible to ignore.The Blackridge Maritime Group.It wasn’t just some distant company she had vaguely heard about. It was one of those names that carried weight everywhere, the kind that came up in business conversations with a tone of respect and caution, the kind that didn’t just exist but dominated. And she remembered something else too, something that made her chest tighten as the realization tried to form.There had never been a confirmed CEO, only an acting one.Drake Conner, the assistant CEO who had been running things in place of someone who had never stepped forward to claim the position.Her thoughts spiraled quickly after that, questions piling over each other faster than she could organize them.Was Drake her brother?Her cousin?The weight of it all pressed down on her, heavy

    Corrine’s lips curved into a gentle smile as she looked at Adrian, her voice soft but filled with quiet pride as she explained what had happened.“It was Cassie,” she said warmly. “She’s the one who brought Doctor Nathaniel Cross here to perform your surgery.”Adrian’s expression shifted immediately, something deeper than relief settling into his features as his eyes searched the room instinctively.“And where is she?” he asked, his voice still weak but carrying urgency.Corrine didn’t hesitate as she turned to go get her, but before she could take more than a few steps, Frederick moved as well, falling in behind her without asking.Sebastian noticed immediately, his expression tightening as he moved as if to block him, but before he could act, Cassie gave a small shake of her head.“It’s his father too,” she said quietly, her tone calm but final.Sebastian

  • The Ex-Wife’s Mega Comeback   Chapter 65 - Why not move in here?

    Cassie was still stunned by everything that had just unfolded, her mind spinning too fast to catch up with her heart.The word mom echoed in her head, heavy and tender at the same time. It was too much. Too fast. She opened her mouth to refuse, already bracing herself to gently push the responsibil

    Frederick showed up at the club early as usual. The moment Franklin sent the location, Frederick was already on his way, excited like he was attending some high-level investor gala instead of a neon-lit lounge with terrible parking.This time, Asher and Lucien tagged along. They were supposedly the

    “Doctor Cross,” Franklin said calmly into the phone, his voice smooth and perfectly measured.On the other end of the line, Nathaniel answered just as casually, even a little amused.“Mr. Roth, your massive investment and the level of trust you’ve shown in my abilities honestly, it’s insane. I prom

    “What?”The word slipped out of Cassie before she could stop it, soft but edged with confusion. She stared at Franklin like he’d suddenly started speaking a language she didn’t recognize.It wasn’t that she didn’t understand the words. It was just that she had never looked at things that way before
