Chloe's whole face lit up. "Ethan, are you actually letting me take point on the Blackwood-Sinclair partnership?"

Ethan nodded once. "Yes. Come prepared."

Chloe had to physically stop herself from grinning outright.

This is the big one.

Everyone in Crestview knew what the Sinclair name carried. If the Blackwoods managed to lock in a real partnership with that family, there'd be no ceiling left on where the company could go.

And from what she'd heard, all three Sinclair brothers were as sharp an

  • The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress   Chapter 168: Is It Exposed?

    “Lily, I want to walk with you hand in hand.”Candy hurried to catch up and linked her arm through Lily’s with easy familiarity.Mr. Yates watched his daughter’s rare, open smile and felt a quiet weight lift from his chest. On the outside, though, his face stayed as cold and unreadable as ever.The two little girls walked ahead, chatting and laughing. The tall man in the perfectly tailored suit followed with a straight back and an expression so serious that people in the hospital corridor kept glancing back at him.Even though Lily had only been here once, she remembered every turn. She led them to the elevator, through the long hallway, and stopped outside Naomi Hart’s ward.The door was slightly ajar. Lily pushed it open and called out in a bright voice, “Mom, I’m out of school!”Her sweet tone cut through the sharp smell of disinfectant like summer fruit.“Lily.”Naomi already had her arms open. Lily ran the last few steps and climbed onto the bed, burying herself in her mother’s

  • The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress   Chapter 167: Admitting Mistakes Can Lead to Improvement

    Hearing those words, Julian Blackwood’s small body trembled.He looked so unsteady that a single gust of wind might knock him over.“I know… Mom said my apology came too late, but I…”Julian clenched his teeth hard, fighting the tears that threatened to spill.Lily Blackwood stared at her little brother’s pitiful face and felt her resolve crack. No matter how cruel he had been before, they shared the same blood. That truth refused to disappear.She sighed and reached out, ruffling his messy hair. “I can’t take you to see Mom right now. But… there’s a parent-child sports day at school in a few days. I’ll try to persuade her to come.”“Whether you get to see her then depends entirely on you.”Julian’s eyes lit up instantly.“Lily… thank you.”He pushed the bag of snacks back into her arms. “I bought these with my own money. They’re imported. I checked the ingredient list twice there’s no honey. You and Mom never get things like this.”His cheeks flushed with shy determination. “If you

  • The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress   Chapter 166: Finding Someone to Take the Blame

    Marcus Sinclair watched his assistant leave the office and close the heavy mahogany door behind him. Privacy sealed, the three brothers faced one another across the polished conference table of Sinclair Holdings’ executive suite.“Can you see Vivian clearly now?” Nathan asked quietly.Marcus had always believed the latest evidence would be enough. Derek’s next words proved otherwise.“A single phone call doesn’t prove she ordered the attack on Naomi,” Derek said, voice low.Marcus’s brows drew together. “She spoke to Vivian right before the hit. What do you think they discussed the weather?”Derek fell silent. His jaw tightened. The last fragile hope he had clung to for years finally cracked and fell away.“I understand,” he said at last, disappointment raw in his eyes. “Do whatever you need to. I won’t stand in your way.”Nathan and Marcus exchanged a glance. They had waited a long time for this moment.“Good,” Nathan murmured. “It’s time you stopped protecting her.”Derek gave a bit

    Naomi Hart’s lips curled into a cold sneer the moment Leo Reyes finished speaking. “Why the car accident happened?” she repeated, voice icy. “Then you’ll have to ask Vivian Sinclair.” Leo’s expression darkened at once. He understood. This had Vivian’s fingerprints all over it. “What exactly happened? Did she attack you at the Sinclair estate?” He paused, another possibility flashing through his mind. “Or… did she arrange it before you even stepped foot inside their gates?” Naomi’s eyes narrowed. In a low, steady voice she told him everything, every detail of the crash, the deliberate hit, the way the other vehicle had vanished into thin air. Leo cursed under his breath. “I knew that woman was no soft target! All this effort… it’s only to stop you from returning to the Sinclair family, from changing your surname and reclaiming what’s yours.” His fists clenched. “She actually went as far as attempted murder.” Naomi pressed her lips together. “There’s still no solid evidenc

    “Got it. Get some rest.”Ethan Blackwood’s voice was calm, almost distant. He took Julian’s small hand and walked out of the ward without looking back.The door clicked shut. Silence settled over the room like a heavy blanket.Naomi Hart let out a long, slow breath she hadn’t realized she was holding. Ethan’s words still echoed in her mind.If she could choose again… she would never have brought Lily back to the city. She would have stayed on Catalina Island for as long as the sea and sky allowed. Life there had been quieter. Simpler. Safer.Here, everything felt sharp enough to cut.Across the city, at the Lin residence, Vivian Sinclair stormed through the gates like a woman possessed. She seized the nearest servant by the arm.“Where is Paige? Is she home?”The servant recognized her instantly and didn’t dare complain about the painful grip. “Miss Paige is in her room, Miss Sinclair.”“Take me there. Now.”He led her upstairs without another word. Vivian knocked hard.“Paige, it’s m

  • The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress   Chapter 163: No Ifs

    Ethan Blackwood spoke in a low, steady voice, half to Old Mr. Blackwood and half to quiet the unease twisting in his own chest.“She won’t do anything reckless. But the Sinclairs…” Old Mr. Blackwood’s expression remained cold. “We’ll deal with that later. Right now we go to the hospital. I want to see her condition with my own eyes.”“Yes.”Ethan turned and left without another word.In the private ward, Sebastian Cole finished helping Naomi Hart settle Lily Blackwood onto the narrow cot reserved for family. The little girl had finally drifted off after long minutes of soft coaxing.Naomi’s body was still locked in plaster. Even the simplest movement cost her.“Could you take Lily to school for me tomorrow?” she asked quietly.Sebastian’s eyes flickered with something complicated. He already had an appointment with Vera Ashford the next morning. Freeing up the time might not be possible.Ever since Vera had reappeared, everything he felt toward Naomi had grown tangled. He had been k
