The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress Chapter 110: Divorced
The courthouse.In just ten minutes, Naomi walked out with the divorce certificate she'd been waiting a full month to get."Naomi, we could still" Ethan started, remembering something the old man had said.As if she'd already known exactly where this was headed, Naomi cut him off with a flat, cold look. "Ethan. Let's not cross paths again after today."Whatever he'd been about to ask died in his throat. His fingers curled tight, and he thought back to the plan Chloe had laid out for him. "Naomi. Don't come to regret this."He turned and walked off fast.Watching his back retreat, Naomi felt nothing at all. Her mouth curved, faint."Ethan. I won't."She tucked the certificate into her bag and drove straight to the Sinclair bid venue.The second she arrived, Naomi spotted two figures waiting at the entrance.Marcus and Sebastian.Is Marcus about to tell him who I really am?Something tightened in Naomi's chest, she wasn't ready for that reveal yet."Naomi, you made it." Marcus waved her
The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress Chapter 109: Watching Over You All Night
Derek blinked, caught off guard by the question.Realizing he genuinely had been neglecting Vivian lately, wrapped up in everything happening with Naomi, guilt crept in fast."Of course. Blood or not, you're my sister."Once she had Derek's reassurance locked in, Vivian's smile widened. "Knew you loved me the most."Meanwhile, at the hospital.Old Mr. Blackwood sat beside the bed, worry etched across his face.The second the doctor finished the exam, he asked, "How is he?""Vomiting blood like that was stress-induced. He's stable now, but I'd recommend a few more days here for observation."The doctor delivered the update and stepped out, leaving the three of them alone."Naomi, would you be willing to stay and help me look after Ethan?" Old Mr. Blackwood searched her face, sincere. "You're the only one who can right now."Naomi had almost refused outright at the first half of that sentence.The second half was harder to walk away from."This is the last thing I'll ask, I promise. He
The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress Chapter 108: The Wrong Debt Repaid
The thought had barely finished forming before cold sweat broke out down Ethan's back."It's because Naomi always believed you were the one who pulled her out of the water that day at the beach."If not for that debt of gratitude, why else would she have endured this family for as long as she did?"The beach?" Ethan's frown deepened. He had no memory of anything like that at all.Why don't I remember saving her?He dug through his memory and finally landed on a fragmented image.He had, once, found Naomi unconscious near the shore and gotten her to a hospital.That was the entirety of it.Does that even count as saving someone?"I called an ambulance. That's all I did." Ethan said it quietly, almost to himself.Something shifted hard across the old man's face. "What did you just say? I thought it was you who actually pulled her out of the ocean?"He'd heard the story straight from Naomi herself, years ago.Every time she told it, there'd been a soft, private smile on her face.Knowing
The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress Chapter 107: Winning the Case
Reading the situation as it stood, the woman's position looked airtight, almost no room to maneuver. From what he could tell, she already had her own income and was fully capable of supporting the kids on her own.Filing on the grounds of an irreparable breakdown usually meant, in his experience, that one party had strayed.And based on years of doing this, the odds leaned heavily toward the husband being the one at fault.He couldn't say any of that out loud, though.Lin weighed his words carefully. "Mr. Blackwood, the opposing counsel's been extremely tight-lipped. I don't have much to work with, which makes it hard to build a strong defense."The subtext being he couldn't promise a win."Heh." Ethan's mouth curled, dismissive. "I don't care how you get there. Losing isn't an option.""Win this, and you name your price. Plus every future referral you could want.""But if we lose..." Ethan let the sentence trail off, deliberately.Blackwood Enterprises might not carry the weight of t
The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress Chapter 106: He Was the One Who Saved Her
Something flickered behind Sebastian's eyes. He wanted every detail he could get about Naomi.Years of training had taught him to keep his reactions locked down and knowing Miles, playing indifferent usually got better results anyway."Doesn't matter if you tell me or not."His voice came out unbothered, eyes fixed on the tablet in his hands like whatever Miles had was barely worth his attention.That worked exactly as intended Miles's stubborn streak flared instantly.He surged forward, snatched the tablet clean out of Sebastian's hands, and forced eye contact. "Sometimes I genuinely question whether you actually care about Naomi, or if this is all some passing whim!"Sebastian's expression stayed level.Underneath the blanket, his knuckles curled tight, his heartbeat pounding loud enough to feel in his ears.If Miles had actually looked at the tablet, he'd have noticed there was nothing open on it at all just an empty desktop.The whole "indifferent" act had been staged from the sta
The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress Chapter 105: Unexplained Resistance
Naomi wanted to pull back, but reminded herself Sebastian had saved her earlier that day and forced herself to sit with the discomfort.She genuinely couldn't figure out why he kept looking at her like that.Does he already know who I really am? Is this some kind of test?Right as the tension started to feel unbearable, a knock sounded at the door.Knock knock.Naomi paused. Sebastian pulled his gaze away and spoke, unhurried. "Come in."The door opened, and Miles stepped in with Leo.Owen followed close behind."Owen's business is more urgent." Miles found a chair and settled in easily, nodding at Owen. "Go ahead."Owen stepped forward. "Mr. Cole, Mr. Sinclair toured the bid venue he's satisfied with the setup. Bidding's officially scheduled for this Friday."He handed over the paperwork with practiced respect.Sebastian sat up, skimming through it fast. "Anything else from Marcus?"Owen hesitated, glanced briefly at Naomi standing beside the bed, then answered honestly. "He wants yo
