Ethan Blackwood’s replies to Chloe Bennett were short, almost indifferent.

He couldn’t stop thinking about Naomi Hart. In the seven years they had been married, they had barely dated. Shared meals were rare. Most nights he stayed out late with his friends, then called her to pick him up while those same friends openly mocked her.

If he had treated her with even a fraction of kindness, would she still have walked away?

Julian Blackwood was equally miserable. He picked at the foreign breakfa

  • The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress   Chapter 174: Wasn’t Lily Taken Away?

    “You already knew it was me, didn’t you? You arranged this specifically to make me confess?”Vivian Sinclair’s gaze turned icy, a flicker of resentment flashing in her eyes as she stared at the others.Wasn’t the real reason he was so eager to expose her simply to force her out of the Sinclair family and clear the path for Naomi Hart?Even now, Vivian still refused to examine her own actions.The last trace of softness in Derek Sinclair’s eyes vanished in an instant.“Vee, you really disappoint me.” Derek could no longer hold back. He rose slowly to his feet. “I still have tracks to record and broadcast at the company. I’m leaving.”Without another word, Derek turned and walked away.Watching his retreating back, Vivian still saw nothing wrong with herself.It was all because Derek didn’t trust her. That was why he had shown up today.Her eyes then landed on Paige. “Paige, what I said wasn’t wrong, was it?”Knowing the situation was beyond saving, Vivian simply abandoned all pretense.

    “Today, President Cole brought a strange woman into the building and sent her straight to the secretariat. Everyone’s been whispering about what she means to him…”Naomi’s colleague didn’t dare finish the sentence.Everyone in the company already knew the relationship between Sebastian Cole and Naomi Hart was anything but ordinary. For a new woman to appear so openly, under his personal arrangement, left little room for innocent explanations.The colleague mumbled an excuse, grabbed her unfinished coffee, and fled the break room without meeting Naomi’s eyes.Naomi stood frozen.Could it be… the woman from the photos Ono had taken that day?She had told herself Sebastian’s connection to that stranger was casual. Temporary. Meaningless. Yet he had brought her into the company in full view of everyone.Was there really something deeper between them?A dense, unexpected ache rose in her chest before she could stop it.No. She had no right to feel this way.Their marriage had been arranged

    The next morning.When Naomi Hart opened her eyes, most of her body already felt like it belonged to her again. Only her left leg still carried a dull, swollen ache.“Almost there,” she murmured, lightly tapping the muscle.She turned her head carefully from side to side. The lingering concussion no longer sent waves of nausea through her.Her eyes brightened.Good enough.She pressed the call button at once and asked the doctor for another full examination. If the results were clean, she wanted to be discharged early.After running every instrument and reviewing the scans, the doctor could only shake his head in quiet amazement. “Your recovery speed is remarkable. Any other discomfort?”“None.”A few more questions later, the doctor agreed to early discharge.Naomi asked the nurse to handle the paperwork, then gently poked Lily Blackwood’s soft cheek. “Lily, wake up. Time for school.”Lily stirred at the familiar gentle voice, stretched, and smiled sleepily. “Mom… you changed c

    Marcus Sinclair’s voice was ice.The man on the floor trembled under that cold stare.Marcus watched closely. The moment the name “Vivian Sinclair” left his lips, pure terror flashed across the man’s face.So even he was afraid of her.Everything about Vivian’s gentle weakness had been a carefully crafted lie.“You have one minute,” Marcus said, pressing harder.The man collapsed completely. “I’ll talk! Vivian paid me two hundred thousand to stop Naomi Hart from returning to the Sinclair family. If I could make sure she had a car accident, she promised another three hundred thousand!”“My daughter is sick… she needs the money for treatment. Mr. Sinclair, as long as you don’t hand me over to Vivian, I’ll turn myself in. I’ll do anything!”Marcus glanced sideways. Nathan Sinclair stood nearby, eyes flickering with an unreadable light.“Why are you so terrified of her?” Nathan asked quietly.The man clenched his jaw and poured out everything Vivian had done to him and his family.Even

    As the silver needle slipped free, sensation slowly returned to Naomi Hart’s left leg.While she worked, Leo Reyes stayed right beside her.Noticing the faint tremor of exhaustion in her shoulders, he reached over with a tissue and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead.On the other side of the city, the Cole residence.Sebastian Cole stepped out of the car. Vera Ashford followed close behind.She tipped her head back, taking in the solemn, imposing gates of the Cole family home. A flicker of pride sparked in her eyes.As long as Sebastian never uncovered the truth she had carefully buried, she could take her time. Sooner or later, the position of Mrs. Cole would be hers.Houses like this one she could have as many as she wanted.Even as her heart raced with quiet triumph, Vera kept her expression carefully blank and followed Sebastian inside.The butler appeared at once to greet them.Years of professional training could not quite hide the flash of surprise that crossed his face w

  • The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress   Chapter 169: Sebastian Cole Has Another Woman Beside Him

    Leo Reyes’s eyes widened. Something was wrong. Naomi Hart was lying in a hospital bed because of a car accident. Even if Sebastian Cole didn’t visit her every day, he had no right to sit in a coffee shop with another woman. After a few seconds of hard thinking, Leo pulled out her phone and snapped a photo. Whatever was going on between those two, they could sort it out themselves. Once the pair disappeared into the distance, Leo stepped out from behind the greenery and hurried toward the hospital. Inside the ward, Lily Blackwood held up a small red paper flower she had just earned at school. “Mom, the teacher said whoever gets this red flower becomes lucky. I want to pass that luck to you.” The room was all white and pale blue. The bright red flower looked like the only living thing in the space. Naomi took it with a soft smile and placed it carefully beside her pillow. “Then Mom will borrow little Lily’s luck.” Lily’s eyes sparkled with mischief. “Oh, right Mom, ou
