Some minutes later...

Ramon walked into the mansion, loosened his tie, and was about to head upstairs when his footsteps suddenly stopped.

His heart skipped unexpectedly.

Kelsey was sitting quietly in the living room.

She hadn't noticed him yet.

A cup of tea rested on the table in front of her, but it had long gone cold.

She seemed to be lost in thought.

Ramon stood there silently, wondering what was on her mind.

He hadn't expected to see her waiting in the living room.

Ever since she returned

    Meanwhile...Inside Holloway Holdings...Ramon sat behind his desk, reading through a contract.A knock sounded on the office door."Come in."Daniel walked in carrying a file. He placed it on the table and, without waiting for Ramon to ask why he was there, began his report."The verdict has been delivered. Miss Josh has been sentenced to two years in prison," Daniel informed him.Ramon's expression didn't change.He simply nodded.The sentence was fair.He hadn't interfered by using his power. If he had, she would have received a much longer sentence. He had allowed the court to decide Wanda's punishment."What about her father?" he asked quietly.Daniel understood who he meant."Mr. Josh didn't create a scene. He accepted the court's decision."Ramon closed the file and nodded.He felt relieved that Andrew hadn't tried to make things difficult for himself. At least he had listened to him and accepted the one-time payment Ramon had given him.After a brief silence, Ramon looked at D

    Crash!A porcelain cup shattered against the floor.The chairwoman of Sunlight Group, Savannah Bianchi, stood in the middle of the luxurious living room, her face twisted with anger.She gripped her phone tightly and dialed the same number again."The number you are trying to reach is unavailable..."The mechanical voice sounded once more.Her face darkened.She ended the call and dialed another number. It was the same result.The call wouldn't go through."Useless people!" she shouted angrily. "They can't even do one simple job!"Her secretary had informed her that Kelsey had been seen at the plantation today.Kelsey shouldn't have been there.Laura had assured her that she would get the job done two nights ago.So why was Kelsey still walking around?She was trying to reach Laura through the phone she had given her.After failing to reach Max, she became afraid that something had gone wrong.Not wanting anything to be traced back to her if something had indeed happened, she had made

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 120: The Morning After

    A sharp headache pulled Ramon out of his sleep. He frowned and slowly opened his eyes. For a few seconds, he simply stared at the ceiling. The morning sunlight spilling through the curtains made him squint. He raised a hand and pressed his temple. His head felt like it was about to split open. He slowly sat up. The blanket slid down to his waist as he looked around the room. He was in his bedroom. A faint frown appeared on his face. He couldn't remember how he had gotten upstairs. He closed his eyes and tried to recall the previous night. At first, only scattered memories came back. He remembered going to the bar lounge to have just a glass of drink to calm the sharp pain in his chest after Dimitri sent him the picture of himself and Kelsey holding hands. He knew Dimitri had done it to hurt him, but he couldn't stop himself from feeling hurt. One glass had turned into a few bottles. Then he remembered Kelsey walking in. She had taken the glass from his hand and

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 119: A Heart That Could No Longer Hide

    Kelsey slowly walked into the bar lounge.Just as Janet had told her, Ramon was there.But seeing him with her own eyes still surprised her.He was sitting on the sofa with his back slightly leaning against it. Unlike his usual perfectly dressed appearance, he was wearing only his black nightwear.His hair was slightly messy, and the calm expression he always carried was nowhere to be found.The table in front of him already had several empty bottles.The glass in his hand was still full, and he looked like he had been drinking for a long time.Yet, he was still drinking.Kelsey's brows furrowed deeply. She had never seen Ramon like this. Not once. Even during the times when he was angry, frustrated, or under pressure, he had always been in control.But tonight...He looked completely different.She walked closer and held the glass before Ramon could drink from it again.The sudden interruption made him pause.Slowly, he lifted his eyes to her. For a few seconds, he simply stared at h

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 118: A Different Kind of Family

    Dimitri and Denovon walked back into the living room together. The moment Emily saw them, she waved impatiently. "What took both of you so long? Dinner has been waiting." Denovon smiled lightly. "We were only talking." Emily narrowed her eyes. "You've been talking for almost twenty minutes." She didn't wait for another explanation before clapping her hands. "Everyone, let's eat." The maids immediately began carrying the dishes into the dining room. The delicious aroma quickly filled the air. Emily naturally held Kelsey's hand. "Come, dear." Kelsey was slightly caught off guard, but she still followed her. The dining table was already filled with different dishes. There was grilled fish, roasted chicken, vegetable salad, creamy soup, seafood pasta, steamed vegetables, and several other dishes. Kelsey couldn't help glancing at the table. There was enough food for twice the number of people present. "Our family friends weren't able to join us today," Emil

    The black car slowly came to a stop in front of the Rowland Mansion.The driver quickly got out and opened the rear door.Dimitri stepped out first before turning to Kelsey."We're here."Kelsey nodded and followed him out of the car. She lifted her eyes toward the mansion in front of her.Unlike the Holloway Mansion, this place didn't feel cold despite its size. Warm lights shone through the windows, making it feel more like a home than a luxurious estate.Dimitri noticed her quietly looking around."Nervous?"Kelsey smiled faintly. "Not at all."There wasn't even a bit of nervousness in her. Nothing that would happen inside would shake her.She had faced worse things in the Holloway Mansion. So even if the Rowlands were tigers, she wouldn't let them bite her."Better." Dimitri adjusted his suit. "They are easy to get along with."Without waiting for her reply, he led the way inside.The moment they entered the mansion, several voices and laughter reached Kelsey's ears.It wasn't lou

    Kelsey fell hard to the floor, her palm scraping painfully against the marble tiles.Her cheek burned badly from the two slaps Doris had given her, and before she could even recover, another harsh voice rang through the living room.“How dare you come back here after what you did to Kendrick?!”Kel

    It took Kelsey only one day after regaining her memories to realize that what she had lived in for five years was never a marriage. It was suffering. “I want a divorce.” The words fell calmly from her lips, yet the entire room froze. Ramon Holloway looked up slowly, his sharp eyes landing
