Chapter 7

Author: Lucky Plum
"Both people concerned are now present," I announced.

As soon as the words left my mouth, James and Yvette's colleagues all turned their gazes on us.

Everyone began whispering among themselves.

"I knew it. That woman has gone and offended the wrong person. She's seriously got a screw loose to flaunt her boyfriend's wealth at the company every day. Karma's a bitch, isn't it?"

"And she seduced someone else's fiance. How shameless."

"She's really met her match this time. Ms. Churchill has come

  • The Male Lead Went Rogue, so I Swapped Him   Chapter 8

    As I gazed at James, I was suddenly reminded of our college days. James stood out greatly from the crowd back then, so I knew at first sight that he was the one I wanted to pursue.I even begged the system to set him up as the male lead."Are you certain?" asked the system."Yes!"So, come rain or shine, I would always go out of my way to buy breakfast for him from a famous breakfast place on the eastern side of the city.One day, the shop closed down, leaving me with no choice but to stop buying breakfast for James and pray that he would buy his own going forward.But that very night, I actually encountered him outside our dormitory. I was frightened to see his terribly sour expression. When he saw me, he clearly averted his gaze for an instant."Did you have business with me, James?" I asked cautiously."Why don't you come see me anymore?" he asked, answering question for question.I was stunned, but upon seeing his teary eyes, my heart started racing, and I couldn't help bu

    "Both people concerned are now present," I announced.As soon as the words left my mouth, James and Yvette's colleagues all turned their gazes on us.Everyone began whispering among themselves."I knew it. That woman has gone and offended the wrong person. She's seriously got a screw loose to flaunt her boyfriend's wealth at the company every day. Karma's a bitch, isn't it?""And she seduced someone else's fiance. How shameless.""She's really met her match this time. Ms. Churchill has come knocking, so let's see how she deals with them."James ignored them and tried only to pull me aside for a one-on-one talk."Mia, I only kept Yvie here because I was afraid she'd be left adrift otherwise. I really didn't mean anything else by it," he explained hastily, doing his best to distance himself from Yvette.He then smiled bitterly, exhaustion written all over his face. He seemed to have lost even more weight recently, but I'd long given up on him, and his current state only felt dese

  • The Male Lead Went Rogue, so I Swapped Him   Chapter 6

    James was now a junior manager working at one of our company's subsidiaries. I scanned the list of employees and paused when I saw Yvette's name."Mr. Ziegler, please help me contact the people in charge over there. I have business with them," I instructed Alfred.The next day, I visited the subsidiary company in person and took the elevator up to the vice president's office.Even after marrying into my family, James retained his arrogant attitude. According to the plot, I went to great lengths to get him into the company and have him assigned to his favorite department. It was all so he could have a comfortable work life here.In the end, he still hadn't been satisfied with his lot.I couldn't help but sneer at the way the plot had unfolded. It certainly matched his personality."Mia, why are you here? How's your father been doing lately? Are you still getting along with James?" the vice president, Ethan Moore, asked.He smiled at me and poured me a glass of lemonade while as

    James looked up with a jolt, unable to believe his ears."That's rubbish! I'm the male lead!" he yelled toward the sky.Everyone cast him strange looks, and a few security guards on scene exchanged glances before walking over to escort him off the premises.James glared at them and shouted imposingly, "Are you all blind? I'm the heir to Grande! How dare you treat me like this?"Everyone was momentarily stunned by this outburst, after which they burst into laughter and mocked the wild-eyed James."Mr. Linden, has living off your wife's family made you delusional? I can't believe you actually think yourself an heir.""That's right. You can stir up trouble all you want, you penniless fool, but you'd better not step on Mr. Hendrick's toes."James gradually grew paler and paler, because their words completely contradicted what he knew of reality.In that case, there was only one possibility left.The main plot had truly changed, and he was no longer the male lead.I smiled as I wa

  • The Male Lead Went Rogue, so I Swapped Him   Chapter 4

    For a moment, gossip and questions from the reporters filled the air, throwing the once-quiet venue into disarray. Some people even brought up that they would be reconsidering their contract deals with my company.There were more than a dozen parties who announced that they would be canceling their orders, each one practically spitting the words at my assistant, Alfred Ziegler. I looked coldly at the main instigator, James, who was looking on smugly as the events unfolded."I'm the true male lead of this story, Mia. All of this is rightfully mine, and nobody can take that away. If you beg, I'll help you resolve this crisis," he said confidently.I couldn't help but sneer at his words. He was being overconfident.Everyone was demanding to see the list of participants for the exhibition and threatened to sue for compensation otherwise."Alright," I said agreeably.Silence instantly descended upon the venue. Everyone turned their gazes on me.James was caught off guard, because

  • The Male Lead Went Rogue, so I Swapped Him   Chapter 3

    James felt more and more confused. He should've resented his legal wife—me—for controlling his life, but now that he was actually free of me, he couldn't help feeling agitated and restless.I was lying in bed, idly playing games on my phone, when I suddenly received a text message from James."Have you made up your mind? You'd better not try playing hard to get."My anger instantly flared, and I promptly blocked him.James stared at his phone. When he realized that I wasn't replying, he became even more furious. Even he couldn't put up with Yvette's fussing much longer, so he decided to call me directly.When he heard the robotic voice notifying him that he'd been blocked, he was so mad that he smashed his phone against the ground.In the past, whenever we had a falling out, I would be the first to relent and butter him up, and he would always take the out.This time, however, a month went by without me seeking him out.I received a message from my secretary, Ellen Weber, tha
