The moment Kelsey walked out of the front door, she took a deep breath.

The conversation with Ramon still weighed heavily on her heart, but she pushed it aside.

It was still early. She couldn't allow her emotions to weigh her down. She had too much to do today.

Just then, the front door opened.

"Mummy!"

Kendrick came running toward her, his little backpack bouncing behind him.

Janet hurried after him.

"Young Master, slow down," she called anxiously.

But Kendrick had already reached Kelsey. He w

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 99: The Missing Heir

    Meanwhile...In another city...A grand mansion that looked more like an ancient castle stood quietly on top of a hill.The tall iron gates remained tightly shut. Rows of bodyguards dressed in black suits stood at different corners of the estate. Their expressions were cold as they carefully watched every movement around them.The atmosphere was heavy.Inside the mansion...The lights in the study were dim.An elderly man sat alone in a large wooden chair.His silver hair was neatly combed, but his face looked much older than his age. The hand resting on the armrest trembled slightly from time to time.His cloudy eyes remained fixed on the fireplace before him.The room was so quiet that the ticking of the old clock sounded unusually loud.Knock... Knock...A middle-aged woman walked inside. She was the Chairwoman of Sunlight Company.She lowered her head respectfully."Master."The old man slowly turned toward her."Margaret..." His voice sounded tired. He paused briefly. "Is there a

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 98: A Memory Buried in the Past

    Ramon remained seated at the edge of the bed. His phone was still in his hand.The room was quiet, yet his mind refused to be.He leaned back slightly and closed his eyes.Dimitri's voice echoed in his head."Don't ever make me that offer again."Ramon let out a slow breath, and before he knew it, his thoughts drifted back to a memory buried deep in the past....Many years ago.Senior High School.The afternoon break had just begun.Students filled the school grounds with laughter and chatter.At the back of the academic building, two boys sat comfortably on a low concrete wall.They were in their final year of high school.One sat properly with his schoolbag beside him.The other leaned back casually, balancing a bottle of soda on one knee."You know," Dimitri said suddenly, "I've finally figured out what's wrong with you."Ramon didn't even look at him."I wasn't aware there was anything wrong with me.""There is."Ramon raised an eyebrow."What?" he asked uninterestedly."You were

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 97: A Deal Between Rivals

    Ramon stood silently behind the curtain in his room at Ivory Mansion, his gaze fixed on the driveway below.Not long after, the familiar white car slowly entered the mansion.It came to a smooth stop in the parking area.Kelsey stepped out of the car.She looked exhausted.Even from the second floor, Ramon could tell she hadn't had an easy day.She closed the car door and stood there for a brief moment, taking a slow breath before walking toward the house.He let out what felt like the umpteenth sigh, trying to calm the hurt in his heart.After what had happened at the hospital, he had returned home immediately.He hadn't gone to the company because he wasn't in the mood.He slowly lowered his eyes.Everything that had happened followed him all the way home."Mummy!"Kendrick's cheerful voice echoed from the entrance of the house.Ramon instinctively stepped onto the balcony and looked down.Kendrick ran toward Kelsey and threw himself into her arms.Kelsey smiled tiredly as she hugge

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 96: A Promise to Return

    Jason stared at the message for a few seconds. The color slowly drained from his face. His grip around the phone tightened.Ruby immediately noticed the change. The annoyance on her face faded."What's wrong?"Jason paused for a brief moment. Then he quietly locked his phone and slipped it back into his pocket."...Nothing."Ruby frowned."Nothing?"Jason nodded. "It's nothing."Ruby didn't believe him. She had never seen his expression change that quickly. Just a moment ago, he had been awkwardly trying to cheer her up.Now...He looked distracted."What was the message about?" she asked again.Jason hesitated. Then he forced a small smile. "Just... something I need to take care of."Ruby studied him for a few seconds."You don't look okay," she said, wondering what the problem was. She was worried."I'm fine.""You don't."Jason looked away."I really am."Silence filled the car.Ruby sighed. "Jason..."He turned back to her."I'm sorry."Those two words caught her off guard. Her br

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 95: A Date Gone Wrong

    Ruby stretched her arms as she walked out of the company building.She let out a long sigh. "What a day..."After spending the whole day buried in work, all she wanted now was to go home, take a hot shower, and sleep.She had barely taken a few steps when she noticed a familiar black car parked across the road.Leaning against it was Jason.He wore a plain white shirt with neatly pressed black trousers. His glasses rested perfectly on the bridge of his nose, and in one hand was a small bouquet of pink roses.The moment he spotted her, he immediately stood upright.A smile spread across Ruby's face.She hadn't expected to see him. Although he had told her they would meet today, she didn't think he would come and wait for her outside her workplace."You came."Jason nodded. "I said I would."Ruby walked over and looked at the flowers before raising an eyebrow."They're slightly bent," she said softly as she noticed they had been crushed a little.Jason looked down and immediately realiz

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 94: A Ray of Hope

    The atmosphere in the office remained quiet for a few moments after the director ended the call.Not long after, the secretary returned."This way, please."Doctor Harrison picked up his medical case.Kelsey was still standing there, probably still lost in everything that had happened earlier."Let's go."Dimitri's voice pulled her back to reality.She let out a quiet breath and gave him a small smile.They left the office while the director led them through the hospital corridor.Kelsey's heart beat faster with every step. She could only hope that after Doctor Harrison examined her father, there would be good news.She prayed he would tell her there was still a chance for her father.A few minutes later...They stopped in front of Tony's room.The nurse who had followed them opened the door.But before Kelsey walked in, her eyes moved to the far end of the corridor.She noticed a man standing there. He looked like someone on guard. He glanced in their direction, then quickly looked a

    Still standing by the door, Ramon watched the scene quietly.For some reason, seeing Kendrick so comfortable around Kelsey felt strange, but not in a bad way.'It isn't that bad though.'He thought to himself.Just then, a knock sounded on the door."Mr. Holloway."Grace's voice came from outside.

    Kelsey stared at Ramon. For a second, she actually thought she had heard him wrong. Then anger rushed through her chest. She let out a short laugh, not because she found it funny, but because she couldn't believe the audacity. Slowly, she turned to face him fully. "You have no right to ask me

    "Little Miss."Kelsey looked ahead toward the entrance of the building and saw Grandpa Luke standing there.Her face immediately brightened.She quickened her steps. "Grandpa."She greeted the old man warmly and gave him a side hug. "Why are you here? I told you to take a long break."There was obv
