Celeste lifted her eyes from the tablet in her hands and smiled warmly, the kind of smile that made it clear she already understood more than she let on.
“Of course,” she said gently. “I’ll be with Evelyn if you need me.”
She walked out, closing the door softly behind her.
The moment it shut, the air in the office shifted. It didn’t just feel quieter, it felt colder, heavier, like the room itself was holding its breath.
Cassie stood there, staring at the floor for a second too long, her thoughts tangling into knots she couldn’t undo.
What could she possibly give him?
She finally lifted her eyes. “Franklin… you already have everything. What could I possibly give you?”
He studied her like he was peeling back layers she didn’t even realize she had. “You&rsq

The Ex-Wife’s Mega Comeback Chapter 99 – The most beautiful woman in the world
Cassie and Tristan sat at the dining table, each wrapped in their own little bubble of focus, as if the other didn’t exist. Plates clinked softly, silverware scraped against porcelain, and the faint aroma of roasted vegetables and herbs filled the room.Franklin had orchestrated this strange tension intentionally, and Cassie wasn’t about to untangle it for him, not in front of Jonathan. Let him stew in curiosity; that was only fair.“We’ll talk about it later,” Franklin said finally, his voice smooth, controlled, but threaded with an unspoken edge. After Cassie left the table, he turned fully toward Jonathan.“It’s a long story. Stay awake until we get back from the date, and I’ll tell you everything. For now, though, there are a few things I need to handle in my study.”Jonathan arched a brow, already guessing at what Franklin meant. “You still deep into all that crypto stuff?”Franklin shrugged casually, though there was a faint glint in his eye. “Want to see?”Jonathan shook his hea
The Ex-Wife’s Mega Comeback Chapter 98 – I’ve never had anything like it
“Jon, what’s going on?” Franklin asked, his voice calm but edged with something sharp beneath it.Cassie had just finished setting the dishes on the dining table, the warm scent of oats, pancakes, and toasted wheat filling the room.She felt it immediately. The strange shift in the air. The tall blond man across from her was looking at her like he already knew her, like he was trying to place a memory.“You’re Cassie, right?” Jonathan asked.Before Cassie could even open her mouth, Franklin answered for her, a hint of pride creeping into his tone. “Yes, she is. Did you see her fitness blog? Or the launch of her company?”Jonathan blinked, clearly thrown. “Company? No. What company?”Franklin frowned. That wasn’t what he’d expected. His gaze sharpened as he turned fully toward Jonathan. “Then how do you know her?”Jonathan hesitated, then shrugged. “Divorce case. A colleague of mine in Chicago handled it. He had her pictures all over his phone.”The room went quiet.Cassie froze mid-ste
The Ex-Wife’s Mega Comeback Chapter 97 – Who is she?
“Uncle Jonathan!”Tristan shot out of the pool like a rocket, water splashing everywhere as he ran straight into the arms of a tall, blond man standing at the edge.Jonathan laughed and lifted him easily, like Tristan weighed nothing at all.Jonathan Whitmore, Franklin’s longtime friend. A world-renowned lawyer with a flawless record, the kind of man judges respected and opponents feared. He never lost a case. Not once.And yet, Franklin had never hired him. Not because Jonathan wasn’t good enough, but because Franklin liked his walls solid and his business strictly professional. Mixing friendship and power always led to messes.Franklin didn’t move right away. His eyes flicked instead to Cassie, still in the pool, sunlight dancing over her skin.“I’ll get him out of here,” Franklin said calmly. “You go change, and then we’ll have breakfast.”Cassie caught the meaning i
The Ex-Wife’s Mega Comeback Chapter 96 – Where are you going, looking like that?
Tristan burst into laughter, the sound ringing freely through the hallway, untouched by restraint or worry.“Daddy paints once in a while,” he said, almost conspiratorially. “But he doesn’t let anyone see it. He says they’re not good enough.”Cassie’s brows lifted in surprise. She turned slowly toward Franklin, curiosity stirring. It was strange how every new piece of him she discovered felt like peeling back a carefully guarded layer.“I’d actually love to see you paint,” she said honestly. “I don’t have that talent at all, but I admire art. Paintings feel surreal. Like emotions frozen in color.”For a moment, Franklin didn’t answer.Then the corner of his mouth lifted slightly, not quite a smile, but something close. “I don’t paint anything you’d admire,” he said quietly. “It’s not art. It’s just noise. I do it to clear my
The Ex-Wife’s Mega Comeback Chapter 95 – Frank, do you paint?
Sleep vanished from Cassie’s eyes the instant Nathaniel’s voice sharpened through the phone.The warmth she usually associated with him was gone, replaced by something tighter, possessive, unsettled, and unmistakably edged with anger.“It’s not what you think,” she said quickly, pushing herself upright in bed, the sheets pooling around her waist. “Let’s talk over dinner.”There was a pause on the other end, heavy and telling.“Yes,” Nathaniel replied at last, his tone grave. “We have to.”The line went dead, but Cassie didn’t lower the phone right away.Nathaniel sounded like a man who felt something precious slipping through his fingers, and Franklin was not a rival anyone underestimated.The truth was painful and complicated. Nathaniel’s work consumed him in a way few people could understand.Human lives depended on his decisions, his presence
The Ex-Wife’s Mega Comeback Chapter 94 – Cassie… what’s going on
Cassie still struggled to breathe past the weight pressing on her chest. No matter how many days passed, the guilt refused to loosen its grip.Being blamed, no, being believed to be responsible for Sienna’s miscarriage had carved a hollow place inside her.If she could prove her innocence, truly prove it, maybe the tightness would finally ease. Maybe she would feel light again.“I’ll add it to my plans when I return to Manhattan,” Franklin said calmly, his voice steady but lacking its usual edge.“From what I heard, Alex is currently in Chicago. I’ll see him when the food shipment goes out on Monday. But since Titan Capital is expanding operations there, I’ll be staying a few extra days.”“You’ve already done so much for me,” Cassie said honestly. Gratitude welled up in her voice, unguarded and raw. “I don’t even know how to thank you.”This time, Franklin di
