Chapter 9

Author: Perfect Timing
"Darling! I'm right here!" Hailey cried, tears streaming down her face, and looking like she was the one wronged after all when she saw Rhett walking toward them.

She whined, "You're too slow! They nearly bullied me to death!"

Rhett didn't even spare her a glance and continued walking toward me.

Hailey had just managed to squeeze her head out from the employees attacking her to look at Rhett, but her expression immediately froze.

"Jessica, will you please forgive me?" Rhett asked, falling to his knees before me. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have believed Hailey and not come to save you and Vivi! Please give me another chance to take care of you both!"

His face was filled with hatred, and his eyes with remorse. However, I knew that he wasn't regretting being sincere or loyal to me. Rather, he was just remorseful about the fact that the Montiagos were about to be destroyed.

And with that, his wealth, power, status, and everything else he'd been enjoying would be gone too.

    The employees, who'd never paid a scrap of attention or respect to me ever before, suddenly turned to look at me with horrified expressions.Someone was indignant. "I don't care. I've never seen her at the company before. I've only seen Ms. Lester around.""Yeah, so what if she's the actual wife? It means nothing when she isn't as favored as Hailey. Who cares if we beat her up by mistake?""Hailey was the one who provided free preschool for my kid, anyway. Who am I supposed to side with, if not her?"While the employees were bitching among themselves, my assistant, Noelle Sloan, rode her motorcycle into the preschool compound and said, "The documents you asked me to prepare are all here, Ms. Stallone!"Just have a good rest for now, okay? I'll handle the rest of the things here."Noelle was my assistant, and a capable one at that. She held more power and authority than the entire Montiago family. And I had told her to come and handle the situation as soon as I'd regained consciou

    "Mr. Caddell! P-Please spare the Montiago family!" Arthur stammered. If it weren't for me, Arthur probably would never even have had the chance to see Dominic in his entire lifetime.His "daughter-in-law" had just offended the most powerful person he had ever known, and there was nothing he could do other than beg for mercy."What, are you scared now?" Dominic asked with a cold glare.Arthur didn't dare to reply and simply groveled on the ground, his apologies getting louder and louder."I don't think you actually regret what you've done. You're just worried that your family will be destroyed!" Dominic yelled at him.Arthur still didn't even dare to breathe too loudly as he continued shaking and shivering on the ground.Meanwhile, Hailey just stared at him in great shock. "Arthur? Are you out of your mind?""And whose fault do you think it is?" Arthur roared back at her, suddenly grabbing her hair and yanking her down. "I told you to release Jessica! You can't ever afford to c

    Dominic glared at her so angrily that his eyes turned bloodshot.His men, who'd been standing behind him, all took a few steps backward when they saw that.Dominic would only have this expression on his face when he was facing the most brutal, most cruel, and most inhumane criminals.If he had been in a war right now, he would have already torn her into bits.And nobody dared to trigger him when he was in this mood."You say that you're the Montiago family's wife and heiress?" he asked, his voice shaking as he pointed to me. "Then what about her?"Dominic was almost like a fatherly figure to me, and he had always hoped that I would have a happy marriage. However, Hailey's existence told him very clearly that I'd been bullied and mistreated very badly while married to the Montiagos."That's a stupid question. She's nothing but a mistress who dared to seduce my husband!"She'd just finished talking when she was suddenly slapped hard in the face.The slap was so hard that her ear

    Right after that, dozens of military personnel clad in full camouflage uniforms descended from the helicopter's rope ladder."I repeat, put your hands up where I can see them and get down on your knees! Whoever dares to defy orders will be executed immediately!"My injuries had triggered the highest security level alarm, so each of the soldiers present had brought their guns with them. If anyone dared to defy their orders, they were permitted to shoot and kill without consequence."Jessica! Are you okay?"The leader of the operation this time was Dominic Caddell, a family friend of mine. He was like an uncle figure to me as he'd watched me grow up since I was young.When he saw that my body was covered in blood and littered with cuts and bruises, he immediately felt his heart breaking for me. And he was someone who had spent time in the desert fighting off enemies during the war."Don't scare me, Jessica. I'm here now, I'm here to save you…"He then barked out orders to his men

  • Uh, Whose Preschool Is It?   Chapter 4

    Hailey had turned on the loudspeaker function on her phone, and the call was loud and clear in the otherwise silent preschool premises.The person calling her now was Rhett's father and my father-in-law, Arthur Montiago.Arthur had been the one begging my parents for three years so that I would take Rhett in as my husband. And yet, I never thought that he would be on a first-name basis with Hailey, just like I was. Was he also treating her like his daughter-in-law, then?As it turned out, everyone in the Montiago family knew of Hailey's existence and even acknowledged her as Rhett's wife.I was the only one who never knew about this."Aren't you done causing trouble, Hailey Lester? Stop at once!" Arthur exclaimed angrily, enraged by Hailey's ignorance. "You can't afford to get anybody killed!""But Arthur! Teddy is your biological grandson!" Hailey retorted indignantly. "That bitch is threatening your precious grandson with her presence! And you're telling me to stop what I'm doi
