Eleanor and Caleb went straight to the station without stopping to change.

The moment she walked in, she spotted Lauren sitting quietly at a desk, one eye swollen dark.

"Lauren!"

Eleanor rushed over and pulled her into a hug.

"Who did this to you?"

Fury sparked instantly in her chest.

The officer had already filled her in, Lauren had gotten into a fight.

With, of all people, Brooke and Whitney.

Small world, apparently.

Walking home from work, Lauren had run into the two of them mid-conversation

  • The Wife He Never Knew   Chapter 160: Officially Divorced

    A smile bloomed on Cassandra's face.It was the first time that day she'd laughed from the bottom of her heart.Suddenly, cheers erupted from the golf course."Someone got a hole-in-one!""That's amazing! I've been trying for ten years and I still can't do that!""She's a stunning beauty! Look, there she is over there."Cassandra followed the onlookers' gaze and saw Eleanor standing with Julian.Eleanor was her complete opposite. Her clothes weren't brightly colored, but they suited her temperament perfectly, giving her a low-key, sophisticated look.At that moment, Eleanor's expression was a mix of surprise and joy, her bright eyes full of disbelief.Julian stood close to her, one arm around her waist.Cassandra's eyes blazed with fury. She clenched her back teeth so hard they nearly cracked.As night fell, the banquet hall of The Lington Hotel filled with the clink of glasses and lively conversation.As host, Isabelle wore a glittering gold silk halter-neck dress, exuding the utmost

    As soon as he stepped off the plane, Julian got a call from Cassandra. A large group of them met up with her in the airport hall.On the surface, the first person Cassandra saw was Julian.But what she actually noticed first was the diamond ring on Eleanor's hand.The enormous diamond was princess-cut. If Cassandra's judgment was right, it was a full ten carats.Julian had never given her a diamond ring of that caliber.The ring was on Eleanor's left ring finger. A wedding ring.Cassandra knew perfectly well Julian was here on business.The founders of their partner company, CelestiMed, were a married couple. Even for social purposes, Julian should bring his wife.And the wife he'd chosen was Eleanor.So of course the wedding ring was on Eleanor's hand.Ever since it had been revealed online that Eleanor was Julian's wife, and Cross Group's official accounts had claimed her, everyone looked at Eleanor differently from before.Just like now. Julian's entourage, from the bodyguards to t

    Today was the first time in the three years since she'd married Julian that Eleanor had ridden on his private jet.It was an Airbus ACJ319, matte black with gold trim, composed and luxurious at once.The trip overseas, ostensibly to attend Caleb and Isabelle's wedding, had many other purposes.Business, for one.Julian was accompanied not only by David, but also by several senior executives and staff from Project Halcyon, as well as two agile bodyguards.Project Halcyon was the AI-assisted diagnosis and treatment system Derek had mentioned earlier, jointly funded by the Vane family and the Cross family and developed mainly by CelestiMed.AI was now widely used, applied to every part of people's daily work and life.There were precedents for AI diagnostic systems.But because the technology wasn't mature and the medical industry was so unique, current AI systems still weren't precise or widely adopted.CelestiMed was an emerging medical technology company dedicated to combining AI with

    The wind outside the juvenile detention center was cold and biting.Even held tightly in Caleb's arms, Eleanor still didn't feel warm.Not only did she not warm up, her fingertips grew colder and colder.Caleb waited a long time, but she didn't answer. He grew anxious and went on, "Eleanor, if you choose me, I won't marry Isabelle. We can be together. We can leave the city and go anywhere...""Don't you think it's incredibly irresponsible to treat Isabelle like this?"Eleanor's tone wasn't harsh, but her voice was like a bucket of cold water. It chilled Caleb to the bone."Whether you love Isabelle or not, you've already agreed to marry her, and you've sent wedding invitations to relatives and friends. And now you're breaking off the engagement? Where do you think that leaves her?"Eleanor pushed him away."I..."Caleb was speechless in the face of her question.All he knew was that he didn't like Isabelle. He'd never liked her, from the very beginning.He'd been forced to go along wi

    After handing David the herbal medicine, Eleanor drove to Frost Properties.She'd arranged with Isabelle to deliver the jewelry she would wear at the wedding.She wasn't familiar with Frost Properties. It was her first time there.Isabelle had said in a text that she was busy with wedding preparations and had no time to collect it herself. She'd sent her assistant instead and asked Eleanor to come to Tower 3 at two o'clock.Eleanor asked a security guard and, following the signs, began searching for Tower 3."Eleanor!"Suddenly someone called her from behind.She turned at the sound, and Caleb's figure filled her wide eyes.Caleb looked a little different today.He wore a short white down jacket, light blue jeans and a black beanie. From head to toe, he had nothing of the air of a big company's CEO. He looked more like an ordinary college student, unschooled in the ways of the world.Eleanor was stunned.His outfit was very close to her impression of him when they first met."How did

    Today, Eleanor saw Julian at the hospital.Julian had come to handle Edward's discharge.Edward was recovering faster than expected. The doctor suggested he be discharged tomorrow, so the paperwork could be done today."Thank you..."Standing in the corridor outside the room, Julian suddenly thanked Eleanor on his own.She raised her eyes and looked at him.After not seeing him for two weeks, she was surprised to find he'd lost a lot of weight.Julian's stomach was already weak, and the bottleneck in the new project he was developing with CelestiMed had clearly put him under tremendous pressure. Eleanor thought he probably hadn't been eating properly these past few days, otherwise he wouldn't look so haggard."You don't need to thank me. Whatever our relationship is, I'll always think of Grandpa as family."Eleanor didn't want him to misunderstand.She'd been staying at the hospital these past few days to look after Edward and cook for him, and it wasn't because of Julian.It wasn't b
