The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress Chapter 117: Blackwood Shares
Old Mr. Blackwood was the one person left in that family Naomi still felt any real guilt toward.Thinking back to the video Sebastian had shown her, something cold settled over her expression.She'd actually been meaning to ask the old man about everything that had happened years ago, and gauge, quietly, whether he'd known the truth all along.If he was in on itThen he was complicit too.She respected him deeply. She genuinely hoped that wasn't the case."Where's Grandpa right now?" Naomi asked.Reading the shift, Ethan understood she'd caved.A rare smile crossed his mouth. "At the estate. I'll take you now."This time, Naomi didn't refuse.Ethan shot Sebastian a pointed look, laced with quiet territorial edge. "Mr. Cole, I'll take Naomi to see my grandfather. I'll get her home after. No need to trouble you further."The implication was clear enough, you can leave now.Sebastian understood exactly what that meant.His eyes cut to Naomi, waiting.Does she want me gone too?Catching h

The employees exchanged confused glances at the explanation.Fair enough, I guess. Not totally implausible."Alright, everyone, back to work." Naomi cut through the awkward energy, steering things back on track.She'd taken the job specifically to stay low-key, the last thing she wanted was to become the office's main topic of conversation.The crowd dispersed slowly back to their desks, and Naomi began settling into her new role at Cole Enterprises.By evening, the office had mostly emptied out.Naomi stayed behind, working through three years' worth of Cole's architectural department archives.Once she was the only one left, she finally stood to head out toward the competition venue.A low voice sounded behind her. "Someone's got you working overtime?"Naomi recognized Sebastian's voice instantly and turned. "No, just wanted to get a better feel for the department."Sebastian nodded, thoughtful. "Did you drive here? Need a ride?"Naomi opened her mouth to decline, not wanting to tro
The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress Chapter 115: Joining Cole Enterprises
Naomi's mouth curved faintly.So my hunch was right. He brought me here to formally bring me on board."You agreed to join Cole Enterprises before. Does that still hold?" Sebastian asked, unhurried.Naomi nodded. "Of course."She skimmed the terms quickly and realized every clause had clearly been drafted with her specifically in mind.Her eyes lifted to Sebastian, something surprised flickering behind them.Is this... charity?"This salary..." Naomi said, careful.Most firms paid architectural designers somewhere between forty and eighty thousand a year.Cole Enterprises was the top firm in the state, she'd guessed a figure closer to a hundred fifty thousand.Instead, the number staring back at her read three hundred thousand.That was just for the probationary period. Full-time, post-probation, the figure climbed to six hundred thousand.Practically double what she'd expected.Sebastian, misreading her tone, assumed she was objecting to the number being too low.He genuinely hadn't

Ethan's eyes stayed locked on the two people standing at the podium.Together, they looked disturbingly well-matched. Like something out of a magazine spread.Worse than that, dazzling."Why is Naomi co-hosting this with Sebastian Cole?"Chloe, seated beside him, wore an expression of pure disbelief. "What could Naomi possibly have that caught the Sinclairs' attention like this? Is she actually involved with Marcus?"The implication being that Naomi's sudden connections were all riding on some relationship with Marcus.Which happened to be exactly the theory Ethan had already landed on himself.His expression twisted uglier. "Enough."He and Naomi were divorced now, nothing stopping her from marrying Marcus tomorrow if she wanted to. Legally, it wasn't his business anymore.Catching the hurt flicker across Chloe's face, something in him softened, and his tone gentled. "Everyone in this room is a potential business partner. Watch how you carry yourself today."Reading the deflection fo
The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress Chapter 113: Don't Send Me Away
Naomi had spent years grinding it out in a small town, settling for a bad marriage, while Vivian had lived every day of that same stretch as the pampered Sinclair heiress.Given all that, it wasn't unreasonable to expect some return on the family's investment. That expectation was the entire reason they'd taken her in to begin with.Thinking about how Naomi had finally come home, and about every quiet and not-so-quiet shot Vivian had already taken at her, something in Marcus's expression hardened further.Every instinct told him to let his anger loose on her right now. Reason won out over that instinct, barely."I called you in to talk about your biological parents." Marcus didn't dance around it.The color drained completely from Vivian's already pale face. Her hands twisted into the hem of her dress. "You... found them?"Is this it? Am I actually getting sent away?Something flickered with surprise behind Marcus's eyes, he hadn't expected her to catch on this fast. He nodded. "We di
The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress Chapter 112: That Fast a Reaction?
Lily's shout got swallowed by the roar of engines revving one after another.The amusement park's racing track had always been one of its bigger draws.The course split into three separate routes, each with different terrain but matched distance.Racers picked freely which path to run.One hugged the edge of an artificial lake, scenic, relaxed, low stakes.Another looped around the park's perimeter, a quick lap designed to funnel guests straight into the next attraction.The last one cut through the hills, modeled after an actual professional track.Naomi and Sebastian glanced at each other and picked the mountain route in the same instant.Only first place got the prize. The other two routes carried too many variables, too much room for distraction.The mountain route was the obvious call.The terrain was rough, pitted, and every jolt sent a thrill through Lily in the passenger seat.She'd tagged along to Naomi's real competitions before, but always too young to do more than watch fr
