The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress Chapter 189: No Need for Humility
“So what?”Lily Blackwood tilted her head and offered an innocent little smile. To Ethan Blackwood and his son, that smile carried a quiet, almost cruel finality.Every micro-expression on Julian Blackwood’s face froze. He knew he had been wrong. Why wouldn’t anyone give him a chance to make it right? Why did it feel like the entire world was pushing him away?He stood there, shoulders slumped, voice stubborn even in defeat. “I never really wanted anyone else to be my mother. I just… wanted Mom to change.”Back then, Naomi Hart had been plain, always tired, always in simple clothes. The other kids had laughed. Aunt Chloe, who always looked polished and elegant, had seemed like the better choice. Now Naomi was radiant. The children in his class whispered that she looked like a fairy who had stepped out of a storybook. Julian was envious. And he was full of regret.He only wanted Naomi to come back to him.But Lily was no longer moved by those words. She had been disappointed in h

“Isn’t it obvious? Can’t you see it?”Lily Blackwood did not confirm it outright. She simply gave the little boy an ambiguous answer, her tone calm and unbothered.The boy gritted his teeth, still unwilling to accept that he had picked on the wrong person.“I don’t believe it! You’re lying!”He stomped away. Lily made no move to chase after him.She turned to Henry Yates and said softly, “Uncle Yates, thank you.”The polite, well-behaved manner only made Henry like the little girl more.Unbidden, the information he had gathered about Naomi Hart and Ethan Blackwood surfaced in his mind.Seven years.Naomi had endured seven years inside the Blackwood family. She had taken care of both father and son, given Ethan a precious daughter like Lily, and received nothing but neglect in return.Ethan Blackwood truly did not know how to cherish what he had.In that case… he should not blame anyone else for what came next.Something flickered in Henry’s eyes, though his expression remained compose

Sebastian Cole slipped his phone into his pocket and walked out of the shop without looking back.Vera Ashford stood frozen for a second before the meaning of his departure sank in. She hurried after him.“Sebastian, where are you going?”“The company.”The clipped answer made her clench her teeth. He had personally brought her to the store, only to abandon her the moment the transfer was settled.“Miss Ashford, I’ll take you back.”A heavyset man with a protruding stomach stepped forward, smiling too widely.Vera instinctively retreated a step, putting distance between them.The man caught the flash of disdain in her eyes. His smile vanished.“Miss Ashford, what is that look supposed to mean? Do you know who I am? How dare you look down on me?”His voice dropped, laced with mockery.“Just because you’re mixed up in some scandal with Mr. Cole, you think you’ll become the young lady of the Cole family? Let me make something clear. With Mr. Cole’s status, the future Mrs. Cole will only

“Mm.”Sebastian Cole’s reply was calm, almost detached. After a brief pause he added, “Is there anything else you need?”The question was simple. In Vera Ashford’s ears it sounded entirely different.Has he started to care about me?Her heart raced. She pressed her lips together, forcing down the hopeful flutter in her chest.“You’ve already given me so much, Sebastian. I don’t ask for much. As long as I can stay by your side… I’ll be satisfied.”Sebastian’s expression shifted. He had never intended to keep things as they were with Vera.“Vera, I already have a fiancée.”The words of Old Master Cole echoed in his mind. His tone cooled. “Once you’ve settled in Crestview, we should keep our distance.”The meaning was clear. Unless something important arose, she was not to contact him again.The light in Vera’s eyes vanished. Confusion and hurt flooded her.Last night everything had been fine. Why was he drawing a line now?Had someone spoken to him?The face of Old Master Cole flashed t

Old Mr. Blackwood gave a wry smile. “I’m afraid my health won’t hold much longer. I’ve decided to transfer all my shares and equity into your name.”Naomi Hart’s eyes widened in pure horror. “Old Mr. Blackwood no!”He was the largest shareholder of the Blackwood Group. If every share and every piece of equity passed to her, she would instantly become the controlling force of the entire empire. An outsider standing in that position would become a thorn in the side of every board member.She had only just finalized the divorce from Ethan. All she wanted was a quiet, stable life. She had no desire to be dragged into boardroom wars.“Naomi, don’t refuse so quickly.” The old man took her hand and patted the back of it gently. “These shares aren’t only for you. They also belong to Julian and Lily.”His voice softened. “The Sinclair family is every bit as complicated as the Blackwood family… and you are about to marry into the Cole family.”The moment the words left his mouth, Naomi understo
The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress Chapter 184: She Was the One Who Made the Move
“Vee… I couldn’t convince Marcus or Nathan to let you stay.”A flicker of genuine guilt crossed Derek Sinclair’s handsome face.Vivian Sinclair felt something tight and warm twist in her chest. In the entire Sinclair household, Derek was the only one who had ever treated her with real kindness. Even now, when everyone else wanted her gone, he was the one still fighting for her.“It’s okay,” she said, and the smile she gave him came from the heart. “Second Brother, thank you.”She had lived under this roof for years. Derek had been her only source of warmth. If the Sinclair family wanted her out, then she would leave. She refused to make things harder for him.“Second Brother, I’m going. Please tell Marcus he doesn’t need to send me back to my biological parents.”Those people had abandoned her at an orphanage long ago. She felt nothing for strangers she had never met. Being cast out of the Sinclair family would not drive her into their arms.Derek nodded, then reached into his pocket
