Jason was still holding Ruby's hand as they reached his car.

He opened the passenger door for Ruby as usual before walking around to the driver's seat.

The car slowly pulled away from the building, leaving Stephen still standing there.

Ruby glanced at him.

"You are always on time," she praised him, happy that he didn't keep her waiting.

But Jason didn't say anything.

His eyes stayed on the road, and although his expression was calm, there was something about him that didn't look right.

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 185: The Man Who Brought Her Home

    For several minutes, Venus sat quietly in the passenger seat, still trying to process what had happened.She slowly began to come out of her shock. She turned her head and looked through the window. The company was already far behind them.Venus frowned.She looked at the man behind the steering wheel and suddenly realized she didn't know where they were going. Thinking about it, she didn't even know when she had gotten into the car."Where are you taking me?" she asked.Sylvester kept his eyes on the road, "Somewhere."Venus's brows pulled together, "What do you mean, somewhere?"He didn't answer her and continued driving.Fear slowly replaced the confusion in Venus's eyes, "Stop the car."Sylvester glanced at her. She looked frightened, so he pulled over and brought the car to a stop.Venus immediately reached for the door handle, but it didn't open. She tried again, only to realize it was locked.She looked at him, "Please open the door.""Before you think about getting out," Sylve

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 185: The Backlash

    The following morning, Venus stood in front of the mirror, staring at her reflection.She had barely slept.Every time she closed her eyes, she imagined herself walking into the company. She imagined the whispers. The stares. The uncomfortable silence that would follow her whenever she went.Her fingers tightened around the handle of her handbag.For a moment, she considered staying home.Then she remembered Ramon's words.When is the right time to face them?Venus took a deep breath. She couldn't hide forever. She picked up her bag and left her room.By the time Venus arrived at Holloway Holdings, her heart was already pounding.She sat in the car for several seconds, staring at the entrance.The same employees walked through the entrance. Cars came and went from the parking lot. Security guards stood at their usual positions.Yet everything felt different.She finally stepped out of the car. The moment she entered the building, she became aware of the people around her.A few conver

    Three days had passed since the scandal broke.The Holloway family had done everything they could to get the videos taken down.They had contacted the media, reached out to different platforms, and used every connection available to them.But it wasn't working.Every time they managed to get one video removed, another one appeared.The videos were being released by different unknown media outlets, and it was beginning to feel as though someone was deliberately keeping the scandal alive.Even after three days, Venus was still trending. It was as though whoever was behind it had no intention of letting the matter die down.Ramon had eventually decided to let it be. There was nothing more he could do. They couldn't keep spending their time chasing after every new video that appeared online.That evening, Ramon sat at the dining table with his parents and Venus.Doris sat beside Collins, while Venus sat quietly across from Ramon.Kelsey and Kendrick had already eaten earlier. Kendrick had

    The waitress took their orders and walked away."Is this your first blind date?" Dimitri asked softly."Hmm." Maureen hummed with a nod. "I couldn't avoid this one."Maureen let out a deep, silent breath after that. She didn't know how to feel about the blind date anymore. She had come to the date because she had no choice. Her older sister and grandfather had insisted that she attend it.Dimitri smiled in understanding, "Your elder sister ? The one that works at my company?""Yes."Dimitri said nothing again. He didn't even know what to say. He always knew what to say, how to keep a conversation going, but today, he wasn't sure.Maureen looked around the restaurant, then toward the television mounted on the wall.A business podcast was playing. It wasn't loud, but it was enough for them to hear what they were talking about.Three people were discussing a large company that had recently announced plans to expand into a new country.One of the men on the screen looked excited about the

    Two days later...Dimitri arrived at the restaurant he had reserved for his blind date but didn't get out of his car immediately.He remained seated for several minutes, his hands resting loosely on the steering wheel as he stared at the entrance.He still felt strange about the whole blind date thing. He had agreed to meet the lady who had sent him a like some days ago at his office. Their meeting was scheduled for today, and here he was, still sitting in his car.Dimitri glanced at the time.His blind date was probably already waiting for him inside.He let out a quiet sigh. There was no point sitting in the car forever.After a short while, he finally opened the door and stepped out.He walked into the restaurant and was directed towards the table by a waitress.As he got closer to the table, he saw the back of a woman sitting there. His steps slowly became less hurried. Her posture made it look like she didn't really want to be there either. She was tapping her heel impatiently wh

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 180: Things Left Unsaid

    Sylvester stared at Mary for a moment. He knew she meant every word. But there was still something he couldn't understand."Mary," he said quietly, "what I don't understand is why you keep holding on to this family like this."He paused."Even Sebastian would want you to move on."The moment he mentioned her late husband, Mary's expression changed. The sadness that had been hidden behind her calm expression suddenly returned to her eyes, and she lowered her gaze."Could you stop talking about this?" Her voice was barely above a whisper. "It makes me sad."Sylvester's expression softened."I'm sorry."Mary shook her head."It's fine."Sylvester took a step back."But you can't keep living like this forever."Mary said nothing and looked away from him."You have to move on," Sylvester continued. "You deserve to be happy too."Mary remained quiet. Her head lowered, and her hands clenched together.Sylvester watched her for a moment. He knew that she was finding it hard to let go. She was

    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

    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
