The Wife He Never Knew Chapter 175: Cracking the Crab, Cracking the Crown
Isabelle turned her head and glanced coldly at Cassandra.The Crestwood Regal now belonged to the Frost family, and tonight's dinner was hosted by her for the Queen of Eldmark.This top-quality Bering Sea king crab had cost her a fortune, all to please Queen Isolde and encourage her to put more money into the undersea tunnel.And yet it was Eleanor, not a professional, who had come to take the crab apart.Worst of all, the tools for it hadn't even been set out.Isabelle wasn't stupid. She knew Cassandra was behind this arrangement.In dealing with Eleanor, she and Cassandra were on the same side. After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.But she didn't trust Cassandra.If it weren't for Julian's backing, Cassandra's family wouldn't even have been worthy of sitting at the same table as her, given their standing.Cassandra pretended not to notice Isabelle's cold look, her smile like a mask she couldn't take off.She was indeed the one who had asked the lobby manager to have Eleanor
The Wife He Never Knew Chapter 174: Another Woman's Crown
There was some distance between Julian and Eleanor.She couldn't tell whether the red wine had blurred her vision or whether Julian's expression was simply that cold.Eleanor always felt that Julian stood before her like an iceberg.Julian was looking at her.He didn't move.She had expected to see mockery and contempt in his eyes, but in truth his eyes were frozen, showing no emotion at all."Julian, you're here!"When Cassandra saw Julian arrive, she waved to him.Only then did Julian shift his gaze away from Eleanor.He sat down beside Cassandra, passing Eleanor as if he were unaware she was there.Julian said nothing.Eleanor said nothing.Cassandra had thought Julian would at least say something when he saw Eleanor drenched in wine.Instead, he didn't.His silence pleased her enormously.Eleanor, even if you want to play the victim in front of Julian, so what? He won't even acknowledge you.Cassandra was in a great mood, her face beaming, and even the food tasted delicious.Elean
The Wife He Never Knew Chapter 173: The Vintage Test
"Eleanor? What are you doing here?"Eleanor felt rather helpless as Cassandra called out from behind her.She'd tried her best to avoid being seen, but she'd still been spotted by the sharp-eyed Cassandra.Cassandra's eyes lit up as if she'd discovered a new continent.She immediately pulled Isabelle closer to Eleanor."Are you a waitress here?"After looking Eleanor up and down, the uniform she was wearing said it all."You've really had a tough time," Cassandra said, feigning pity. "After your company went bankrupt, I asked Julian if he could help you, but he refused... Even I think he's too cold-blooded and heartless. But I couldn't help you without going through Julian... You must be working so hard as a waitress here. Here, I have two hundred dollars on me. Take it for now!"Cassandra theatrically pulled two hundred-dollar bills from her handbag and held them out to Eleanor.The display left Eleanor speechless.She knew Cassandra was deliberately rubbing salt in her wounds.But t
The Wife He Never Knew Chapter 172: Pride Over Five Million
In daylight, Raven's Edge Ridge wasn't nearly as menacing as it was at night.But the mountain road was still winding and hard to drive."Mr. Brooks, are you serious?"Eleanor sat in a sunset orange BMW sports car, rolled down the window, and asked Tyler, who was parked beside her.The car was one Tyler had provided.He drove a BMW sports car of the same model, also modified, only in matte gray.Eleanor thought that, personality-wise, she was the one who suited matte gray, and Tyler was the one who suited sunset orange."A man's word is his bond!"Tyler gave her a thumbs-up.They used an app to generate the starting signal and shot off together.At the start, they were neck and neck.But Tyler's matte gray car was quickly left far behind by Eleanor's sunset orange one.After crossing the finish line, Eleanor got out and stood by her car, waiting for Tyler. Her legs were sore from standing so long.At last, Tyler reached the finish line."All right! I thought you'd be in a bad mood lat
The Wife He Never Knew Chapter 171: Cutting the Last Thread
After her studio went bankrupt, even her white BMW 3 Series was mortgaged. Eleanor was left penniless.Even her most recent FY dividend had gone straight to Anson Whitaker's mother.Standing on the coastal bridge, the sea breeze blowing through her hair, Eleanor felt her mind grow strangely clear.She took out her phone and opened her password-protected private album.There was only one photo in it.A photo of her and Julian.Back at the juvenile detention center, they had finally gotten hold of a cell phone, and she had secretly taken this picture.She didn't know whether Julian had realized she was sneaking a photo of him back then. He might not have noticed. Or he might have noticed and pretended not to.The juvenile detention center in this city ran on a management model that was part school, part prison, and every so often they were allowed to get their hands on a phone.Eleanor had felt very lucky back then to get a photo with Julian.She felt she was the one who had fallen for
The Wife He Never Knew Chapter 170: Her Life's Work, Sealed Shut
Seeing Eleanor's wide eyes, Lauren shrugged helplessly."Don't let my carefree attitude fool you, I'm not stupid... If you don't offer any benefits, do you think Anson Whitaker's mother is going to let you off the hook?"Lauren got furious whenever this came up."It wasn't your fault at all when Anson got into that car accident. You weren't the driver who caused it, so why should you be paying his medical expenses?"The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and she couldn't help standing up for Eleanor."You never told me, so I don't know how much you've paid for Anson's medical expenses. But I know you. You must have spent a lot, tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands... Now that you're in trouble, let them forget about the medical bills for a while! It's not like the Whitakers are short of money..."Lauren was sure that what she'd said was perfectly reasonable.Eleanor smiled but said nothing.The truth was, the medical expenses she paid to Anson's family were not j
