The Wife You Shouldn't Have Lost 117
The phone rang repeatedly, but no one answered.Frustrated, Layla rose from her chair and marched out of her office. She had barely reached the boardroom when her phone rang.The moment her eyes landed on the caller's name, she answered and pressed the phone to her ear.“Layla! Is everything okay? I noticed you've been calling.”She groaned, pouting her lips. “Why didn't you pick up? I was already considering driving home.”“I'm sorry, sweetheart. But why were you calling?”“It's Ethan. He showed up furious and barely said a word. The only thing he told me was that he was coming from home.”A loud sigh came from the other end of the line.The sound alone was enough to confirm Layla's suspicion that something was wrong.“Mother, talk to me. I deserve to know if something has happened.”“It's nothing serious,” Natasha replied. “Joshua found out something, and the two of them ended up having a heated argument.”Silence followed.For a moment, Natasha thought the call had dropped. Then La

Arriving at the hospital, Joshua walked to the room where Jade had been admitted. Behind him was Salvatore, who was taking his time as he marched after him. The situation on the ground had escalated, and he couldn't do anything to stop him from coming to the hospital.He had reached out to his father to come quickly because, from the way Joshua had spoken, something bad might end up happening at the hospital.Upon marching into the room, he met Ruth going through the documents, her face a mixture of perplexity and irritation. She was trying to understand what he had shown her.“Joshua!” she called out. Her gaze traveled to Salvatore, who was now sitting on the couch. “Is this some joke?”“You have known me for years to know I don't joke with things like this. I brought this to confirm why you had to go this far.”Ruth knew there was no way he would be joking. He wasn't even the type to engage in funny conversations. She had always known him to be a serious person, even when it didn't

The tires screeched to a halt. Joshua stepped out of the car and hurried into the house, clutching a stack of documents.Stopping in the living room, he dropped them onto the coffee table and gestured for everyone to take a look.Ethan wasted no time. He grabbed one of the documents and began flipping through the pages.Harthwore and Salvatore exchanged brief glances. They were still waiting for the culprit to meet with Salvatore's wife and provide feedback. Whatever Joshua had brought could very well be connected to it.“What is this?” Salvatore inquired.That was when Ethan jerked upright, his eyes widening in disbelief.“No way! This can't be real. Someone is pulling the strings behind all of this.”Unable to remain seated any longer, both men rose and took the documents from him.“Pookie was supposed to be in that car,” Joshua explained. “But because Adrian showed up as instructed, the chauffeur ended up driving there alone.”The room fell silent.“Apparently, she was the target.

That morning, the news broke the Internet. It was the first thing everyone talked about when they met their colleagues at work. Everyone was discussing it, and with Layla being his wife, the Internet couldn't stop buzzing. The Nolan family had just suffered a tremendous loss and was on the verge of losing everything they had built over the years.Reporters swarmed the company, hoping to get an interview with him, but there hadn't been a single sighting of him. Even the employees were nowhere to be seen. Only the security personnel remained outside, and they weren't saying a word.The investment he had used to revive the company was the same one he had handed over to Layla. That could have been his way out of the crisis, but the question on everyone's lips remained the same—how did it happen? The company had been doing exceptionally well after Salvatore introduced him to several investors, so what had gone wrong?That afternoon, Layla was busy preparing for tomorrow's art show alongsid

“You really think this is going to work?”The question caught both men off guard.Harthwore and Joshua turned to look at Salvatore before exchanging amused smiles.“If I didn't know you so well, I'd think you worried more than most women,” Harthwore teased. “But since you're my friend, I understand where this fear is coming from.”He patted him on the shoulder.“Relax. Whatever Joshua has planned, it'll work perfectly.”Salvatore nodded, though the uncertainty lingering in his eyes betrayed his confidence.They had returned to the abandoned building where the suspect hired by his wife was being held.Following Joshua's plan, they intended to catch her red-handed.Earlier, Harthwore had advised him not to confront her without solid evidence.Even if he accused her directly, she would likely deny everything, and the confrontation would only create more tension within the family.Unsure of how to proceed, Joshua had proposed a plan.Now they were here to see it through.The entire situat

That night, Ryan was sprawled across his sister's bed, waiting for her to come home. She was taking longer than usual, and his eyelids had already begun to droop from exhaustion.If he didn't have this conversation with her tonight, he might lose the courage to discuss it again.To stay awake, he occupied himself with his phone, lazily scrolling through the news. His eyes were gradually closing when the sound of approaching footsteps caught his attention.Immediately, he dropped his phone.Before he could confirm who it was, the door swung open, revealing Layla.A bright smile instantly spread across her face when she spotted him.“Well, look who's searching for trouble,” she teased as she walked over.Ryan sat up and pulled her into a hug, placing a kiss on both of her cheeks.“I'll deal with Ethan when he gets back,” he said with a grin. “But before that, how was your day?”“It was great,” she replied excitedly as she pulled away. “We finally completed all our preparations.”The exc
