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 a

I think it’s time that Ramon makes a move to get Kelsey back. He is being to hard to read and she is confused.

    Laura lowered her head. The red handprint on her cheek was still visible. The entire warehouse remained silent.Kelsey didn't speak immediately.She calmly pulled a chair over and sat down in front of Laura. Her movements were slow and composed. There wasn't a trace of anger on her face anymore. Somehow, that calmness frightened Laura even more.Ramon stood quietly a few steps behind Kelsey. He didn't interrupt. He simply watched.Kelsey crossed one leg over the other and looked at Laura."Let's not waste time," Kelsey said slowly. "How well you answer my questions will determine whether you leave here alive."Laura slowly lifted her head. Her eyes were swollen from crying."Why did you want me dead?" Kelsey asked in a low voice. "Don't say because you hate me. I hate you as well, but I didn't come after you."Laura's lips trembled. "I..."Kelsey raised a hand, stopping her."Think carefully before you answer." She leaned forward. "You arranged the hit-and-run accident that almost kil

    Five o'clock.Ramon glanced at the clock on the wall before looking back at Daniel. "So they insist on six?"Daniel nodded helplessly. "Yes, sir. Storm Enterprise said their CEO won't be available until then."Ramon's expression turned cold. "They're quite persistent.""They also said they can reschedule it for another day if six doesn't work for us."Ramon let out a quiet scoff. Without another word, he picked up his briefcase.Daniel looked surprised."Sir... you're leaving?""I have something more important.""But the meeting...""Postpone it," Ramon cut him off as he walked past him. "If they truly want this partnership, they'll arrange another meeting."Daniel could only nod."I understand, sir."...Nearly thirty minutes later...The black Bentley slowly drove into the Ivory Mansion.The car had barely stopped when Ramon stepped out. He walked into the house with quick strides.The moment he entered the living room, he saw Kelsey already waiting.She had changed into a simple cr

    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

    The next morning… Kelsey slowly opened her eyes. A sharp pain shot through her head, making her shut them again immediately. Her brows tightened as she let out a soft groan. Everything felt heavy… her body, her thoughts… even her breathing. She was still lost when the door suddenly opened.

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 5: The Fall.

    Kelsey stepped out of her room after changing into the dress. The soft fabric brushed gently against her skin as she carefully held the side of the gown, afraid she might accidentally step on it. For a moment, she stood quietly outside her door. It had been a very long time since she dressed up

    The following morning, the Ivory Mansion was already busy because of Doris’s birthday party later that evening.Servants moved around carrying flower decorations and expensive gift boxes.Kelsey was already in the kitchen, her hands submerged in cold water as she scrubbed the marble counter for the

    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
