Turning Heads After Divorce Chapter 61
After listening to Zayne, Lucian's face turned grim.Menacing frost filled his fox-like eyes as he stared at Emilia. "Madam Speight, are you planning to take it by force?"Smiling, Emilia picked up the still-steaming coffee Marisol had just poured her and casually took a sip."What right do you have to say that when you have no shame yourself? I'm giving you an ounce of respect and haven't told my men to rip that dress off her, so think this through. When you tricked me and dared to have her flaunting the gown before me, you should've already known this would happen."Lucian fell silent.Suddenly, his head snapped toward Marisol, who had said nothing till now. "Is this all because it's Nevaeh? I told you we're only friends. Why must you throw a scene like this?"Emilia lost her temper and was about to scold him when Marisol stepped in. "Are you really convinced that what you just said is true?"It was rare for someone to take things to this extent, even when they were best frien

Lucian remained steadfast. "I've sent orders to get you another gown. It'll be here in a while."However, how could a gown prepared on short notice be as good as one from Velours? And one that the founder of Velours herself crafted was rare beyond measure. There would be none other like it!Nevaeh didn't want to take it off. She was about to make a fuss over it, but when she saw Lucian's icy expression, she dared not say another word.Still, she was very much unwilling to give in like this. "I'll take it off after my speech—""No," Lucian interjected frankly.Nevaeh clenched her jaws. She didn't have the courage to say anything else, but still, she asked, "Lucian, who's trying to bring me down?"Lucian cast her a glance. "I've already settled it."He was telling her to stop probing.Nevaeh had no choice but to take it as that, but she held a grudge against whoever it was. She would find out who the person was. She would never forgive those who dared wrong her!Soon, the gown L

Emilia noticed that Marisol had been silent for a while. She casually enquired, "What's wrong?"Her question pulled Marisol out of her thoughts. Biting the bullet, Marisol decided to ask her for help. "Great-aunt Emilia, could you help me find a divorce lawyer?"Emilia was surprised. "You can't find one?""It's not that. After all, it's Lucian I'm trying to divorce. I fear that an average lawyer wouldn't make the cut. It would be better to hire a lawyer with a better reputation and skills, but it's hard for me to enlist them…" Marisol made up an excuse and glossed over it.She dared not tell Emilia that she couldn't find a lawyer because Lucian had used his power and wealth to pressure them into not taking her case.Emilia wasn't one to keep quiet. If she found out, she would definitely cause a ruckus at the Muller family residence. Then, Marisol wouldn't be able to hide this matter from Elizabeth any longer.When Elizabeth found out, it would only make it harder than ever to pro

Unable to grasp the whole situation, Marisol could only console the woman first. When she was slightly calmer, Marisol quickly asked her which hospital she was in.It turned out she was in the city hospital as well!Images of the ambulance she saw earlier at the entrance crossed Marisol's mind. She also remembered the middle-aged woman whom she thought looked familiar.It then occurred to her that she was Barbara Lewis, who was specifically tasked to take care of the second son of the Muller family!"Ms. Randall, please wait here and inform Great-aunt Emilia when she comes out. I'm heading over to the emergency department to see what's going on," Marisol said quickly to Silvia.Silvia was a capable woman clad in black and white formal attire. Her hair was tied into a ponytail. She had been listening when Marisol was on the phone. Knowing that the situation was an urgent one, she readily agreed.Marisol ran all the way to the emergency department.Julius Muller, her brother-in-la

Choking up, Barbara stuttered while telling her the whole story.Everyone in the Muller family knew that Julius was disliked by his parents. At a young age, he had been sent away from the family residence to live his life alone. His caretaker and the household staff were the ones who raised him.However, Julius had a quirky personality. He didn't like his villa to be crowded, so when he was older, he dismissed all the household staff and hired someone to come and clean the house weekly.Barbara was supposed to do the housekeeping yesterday, but something came up and she couldn't go.When she arrived tonight, she found Julius on the floor, unconscious. His face was ashen, and his body was clammy with cold sweat.She was almost scared out of her wits and immediately called the ambulance. However, she was not family. She couldn't and dared not sign the papers. Julius was still unconscious, and she couldn't contact the other Mullers. In the end, she had to call Marisol.From what she

Marisol gave Emilia a few more reminders before heading back to the emergency department.Given Julius' condition, he surely had to be admitted to the hospital after the surgery.Marisol sent Barbara back to the villa to get him some clothes and toiletries while she settled the admission procedure.After about an hour, Julius was wheeled out of the operating theater into a single-bedded ward. Barbara wasn't back yet.The doctor explained to Marisol, "Has that child been skipping meals on a regular basis? And he may not have been eating nutritious food whenever he does eat. He can't go on like this. It will harm his stomach. He's lucky that it's only his appendix this time. Please be more careful after this…"Marisol had no idea what had happened, but she remembered every piece of advice the doctor gave. She would inform Barbara later.After going through all the tedious procedures and receiving Julius' medicine, she sat on the chair beside the bed. Her gaze fell on the young man'

Marisol had several days left before her notice period for her resignation ended. The next day, she went to the office as usual to fulfill her duties before she left.After the morning meeting, she received Alinta's call. "Great job, Mari! You really took the wind out of Nevaeh's sails! For a homewrecker, she's truly a rare talent. She went to such lengths!"Marisol was puzzled. Just then, Alinta excitedly urged her to check her phone for the message she'd just sent.Keeping the call active, Marisol checked her inbox.Alinta sent her a link to a trending topic. As she clicked it, it opened to a piece of headline news featuring an announcement published by Velours' official social media account."Ms. Nevaeh Sorensen is not in any way in collaboration with Velours. There are also no business disputes involved. Cezanne Rosa is incomplete due to an oversight and needs adjustment. Thus, it's been recalled."Emilia must be behind the announcement since it was published by the official

One of the top companies in the world, Muller Group, had suddenly stepped in. That was not all. Their legendary genius chairman had even reposted the post on his personal account. Immediately, this matter began trending on social media.All the negative comments about Nevaeh got buried by a flood of praise as well as some salacious speculations."Ms. Sorensen is so gorgeous, and I've also heard that Mr. Muller is young and handsome. Seeing that he stepped in for the CEO of a newly established subsidiary… I wonder if there's something going on between them.""I know someone who works in the industry. Apparently, they have been best friends since childhood!""Wow, childhood best friends? I totally ship them!""A rich and brilliant chairman dating a noble lady who's also his childhood best friend? This is a fairy tale come to life!""Finally, my ship has come true! This is my lucky day!"Staring at these comments, Marisol closed the app without saying a word.…After a brief mome

With his hands on the steering wheel, Zayne froze for a moment before nodding in response.…"How are you doing, Marisol? Where's Lucian?" When Julius heard that Marisol was hospitalized, he immediately went to the hospital with bags of snacks and daily necessities.As soon as he entered the ward, he was met with Marisol's lonely figure on the hospital bed.Smiling, Marisol changed the topic. "Thank you for coming, but what's with the luggage?""I'm keeping you company," Julius said matter-of-factly.Marisol was stunned as warmth welled up in her heart. For some reason, she recalled what Julius had been saying about becoming her brother or son.She was surprised to find that he wasn't joking at all."My brother, huh…" Marisol instantly clenched her fists, which she had hidden under the blanket.Making his way to Marisol, Julius took out a bag of snacks as he complained, "I shouldn't have gotten discharged so soon. If not, we might've stayed in the same ward. We might've been w

It was just past noon when a Phantom pulled into the courtyard.Lucian got out of the car. His dignified black suit accentuated his figure, and he casually adjusted his silver cufflinks with his slender fingers before striding toward the study.Otto was writing in the study."Grandpa." Lucian greeted Otto as he approached the old man. Picking up the teapot from the heater, he poured out a cup of tea for Otto.Otto was so engrossed in his writing that he didn't even acknowledge Lucian. He didn't even touch the cup of hot tea on the desk. Only the sounds of a pen scratching against paper could be heard in the study.When Otto was done, he finally put down his pen and looked at Lucian. "What's the matter now? You won't even think of visiting me unless I call for you. Is that it?""Of course not." Lucian smiled politely. "I think of you all the time, Grandpa.""Spare me that nonsense." Otto gave Lucian a sideways glance. "I know you're thinking of some young lady all the time instea

The ruler was brought down thrice upon Andre's hand. His palm instantly turned red, and he was in so much pain that his eyes reddened. Tears welled up in his eyes, but he tried his best to hold them in.Otto once held a high rank in the military. He had always been strict in handling family matters, and he despised crying. He believed that men should never cry.If Andre shed even a single tear, he would only receive a heavier punishment.Otto asked again, "What did you do wrong?"Holding back tears, Andre choked as he said in a trembling voice, "I shouldn't have let Mom's relatives into the house. If they had not been let in, Mom would not have been hurt. I won't do it again."Alfred held the ruler out again.This time, Andre was hit seven times on his palm. His hand immediately became swollen.In the end, he couldn't hold it in anymore. Huge teardrops rolled down his face, but he bit his lip tightly. He didn't dare make any sounds in case Otto heard him.A long while later, th

"Why do you look so scared? You're my brother-in-law, so I'm obliged to be nice to you for Marisol's sake." Lucian's fox-like eyes narrowed into a smile, but his foot remained firmly planted.Nathan shook his head with all his might. He didn't dare admit to it at all. "I-I didn't. I really didn't…""You seemed bold enough to me," Lucian said in a threatening tone.Nathan hastily explained, "It wasn't me. It was Mara. It was Ama—No. It was me. I wasn't thinking straight. Lucian, please have mercy on me. I won't do it ever again. We'll return to Portsbridge right away and never come back!"With his other hand, Nathan slapped himself in the face. Then, he gripped the leg of Lucian's pants as tears streamed down his face.Lucian ruthlessly kicked Nathan away. Then, he scoffed. "At least he still has some spine. Zayne."Zayne responded as he pinned Nathan to the floor. Then, he quickly removed the bandages from Nathan's head. Taking out a camera, he proceeded to take several detailed

The man in the lead looked absolutely stunning, and his charm was irresistible. Amara couldn't take her eyes off him.It wasn't until the door was closed with a heavy thud that Amara returned to her senses. She hastily got up and lowered her head a little as she gently tucked away some loose strands of hair behind her ear. She said in a sweet voice, "H-Hello. You must be my brother-in-law."She had seen Lucian's photo before, but she didn't expect Lucian to be even more handsome in person.She was filled with envy as soon as she laid eyes on Lucian.Marisol was indeed lucky to be married to such a handsome man. Amara wished it were her instead.Still, Amara deemed her looks to be on par with Marisol's. With that in mind, she purposefully struck an appealing pose as she said in a softened tone, "Mr. Muller, your wife was so aggressive! We were just starting to talk when she threw the teapot at her own brother."But don't worry. When Nathan wakes up, I'll make sure he doesn't make

"Dad! Dad! I'm sorry!" In the living room, Andre was dragged outside by two strong men in suits. He was wailing and shouting nonstop. "I'm really sorry! I swear I'll do it properly next time. Please give me another chance! Don't send me to Great-grandpa's place, please! Dad! Dad!"Andre was held in mid-air as he kept flailing around with his limbs. However, even his limbs were quickly restrained.Lucian stood at the top of the stairs as he looked down at Andre. His gaze was void of emotion. "This was already your second chance. You couldn't do it, so you have to be punished for it. That's how the rules work. Andre, you don't get second chances all the time."Andre was panicking when an idea struck him. He seemed to have caught on to something, and he shouted, "Mom! I want to see Mom! I'm not leaving! Let me see Mom!"Lucian said coldly, "Take him away. Also, send my regards to Grandpa."The bodyguards replied with a "Yes, sir" before leaving with Andre between them. Andre cried an

Nathan's lips were quivering from all the crying, but at that moment, he froze.Hesitating for a moment, he anxiously rubbed his hands together as he said, "I-I'm getting married soon, so we n-need only t-ten million dollars."Marisol smiled incredulously for a moment. Then, a dark look appeared in her eyes. "Only ten million dollars, you say? Who do you think you are? Who are you to make such demands of me?"Nathan's face turned red as he subconsciously turned to look at Amara. After getting a glare from her, Nathan finally decided to speak up. "Marisol, I haven't asked for money in years. I just need some money from you for the wedding. Lucian is filthy rich, so I'm sure you can bear to part with some loose change."Please help your younger brother out! You can't just abandon your family after marrying into another family. No daughter or sister behaves like this."Amara spoke up as well. "He's right, Amara. You're in the wrong here. Your family has painstakingly raised you, afte

Marisol saw the group enter Crimson Oaks Estate. Then, as she watched Nevaeh leave, her heart sank.She had a feeling that something was off.However, the bigger problem at hand was that she had to go in even if she didn't want to.Marisol was still pondering things when she received a call from Andre. She hesitated for a short while before answering the call."Mom, why aren't you home? By the way, Uncle Nathan came over, so I brought him into the house. Please come back soon!" Andre sounded like he wanted Marisol to praise him.Marisol felt bitterness in her heart, but in the end, she still said, "I'll be home right away."…After ending the call, Andre turned to see Nathan and Amara standing anxiously in the living room. The shiny white tiles were dirtied by two trails of muddy footprints and some snow that had yet to melt. Andre couldn't help but frown."Wanda, the floor is dirty," Andre said with an innocent look, widening his pretty, fox-like eyes.Wanda hastily led the g

Nevaeh had thoroughly looked into Marisol's background before, and she had also seen some photos. So, of course, she recognized one of the troublemakers as Marisol's brother, Nathan.Nevaeh had been wondering why Lucian would ask Andre to go home and keep Marisol company. She was worried that the two might get closer to each other.However, when she saw the scene before her, she immediately came up with a plan. "Andy, isn't that your uncle? They look like they're in a fight. Let's go take a look.""My uncle?" Andre thought. He looked at Nathan, but he didn't recognize him at all. Still, he could gather that these were relatives on his mother's side of the family.He didn't want to get involved at all.Lucian had told him before that he should pay no mind to the people on Marisol's side of the family, and there was no need for him to get to know them. His meeting with Emilia was already an exception.Andre was about to decline when he heard Nevaeh saying, "Your dad asked you to go
