Semua Bab Billionaire's second wife: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Emma was sitting in her old apartment, racking her brain for a way to meet Alden. No matter how many scenarios she came up with, none seemed feasible. The Helen family mansion wasn’t a place just anyone could walk into. In fact, thinking back, throughout her entire relationship with Alden—even after they got married—she had never once set foot in that house. His family had never accepted her presence. Alden had tried to bring her home once, but his parents had firmly opposed it, and he hadn’t dared push too hard for fear of damaging their relationship. At the time, she hadn’t cared. As long as she had control over Alden, what did his family matter?Now, she wished she could turn back time, do whatever it took to win them over—so she wouldn't be in such a pathetic state. But no one ever expects to reap bitter fruit from the seeds they sow. Do evil, and sooner or later, you’ll face the consequences.At present, Emma was still plagued by the same question—what kind of poison had Mrs. Agat

Alden didn’t need to look to know exactly what Emma must look like now—confused, awkward, probably wishing she could disappear from the face of the earth. If she had even an ounce of shame, she’d be drowning in humiliation by now. That was his assumption, but if Emma still fancied herself as some noble, misunderstood woman, then he was done—completely out of hope for her.Sure enough, none of the three men in the room were the least bit surprised by her reaction. There wasn’t a hint of sympathy or compassion on their faces—only contempt. And for a woman, that kind of response was not something that should happen easily. Yet Emma had brought it all upon herself, dragging the dignity of womanhood down with her, turning it into a pathetic, laughable performance. When the video ended, instead of being shocked or remorseful, she immediately lashed out like a wronged victim, crying out in injustice. Not only was she unashamed, she was even bold enough to put on a show, as if the men in the r

Alden had barely been helped out by Gavin when Emma suddenly regained consciousness. The pain from the fall still lingered, but the fury inside her was far more intense. She pushed herself up from the floor, not caring about her trembling body, and immediately rushed outside, determined to chase after him. She couldn't accept this outcome. No way! After all the effort, all the schemes, all the devious plans, in the end, all she received was a bitter failure. How could she accept it? Others might settle for fate, but Emma would not. She believed that as long as she tried hard enough, there was still hope. Maybe, just maybe, God would open a path for her. Maybe, with just one plea, one moment of weakness, Alden would soften and return to her.But instead of repenting and making amends, she plunged deeper into her mistakes. Some people yearn for heaven, but others cling tightly to hell. Even at the very end, there are those who blindly believe that if they just try a little harder, if the

Gavin didn’t want to disturb Alden, so he quickly pulled Emma away."Stay away from there," he commanded coldly, his voice firm. "Don’t make things worse. Look at yourself, haven’t you already made a fool of yourself? If I were you, I’d crawl into a corner, where no one would care about me, and cry over my mistakes.""Let go of me!" Emma struggled, but still clung to the car door, refusing to give up. Her mouth kept spitting out defiant words: "You don’t have the right to stop me from seeing Alden! I’m his wife! We’re going to be parents! You’re the jerk trying to tear our family apart!""Shut your mouth and get out of here before I lose my patience," Gavin ground out. "While I’m still being nice, you better know your place.""I’m not afraid of you!" Emma screamed, completely losing control. She recklessly caused a scene, making a ruckus without hesitation, hoping to pressure the Helen brothers. "Gavin, I’m telling you, today I’m going to see Alden! No one can stop me, not even you!""

Hearing Alden’s firm declaration, Emma wavered slightly. However, she stubbornly believed that he was just looking for an excuse to push her out of his life. And of course, Emma would never accept that. No matter what, she would cling to Alden forever. Out of love? No. Because she needed a life of luxury.“Alden, please don’t treat me like this. We can leave the past behind and start over. Please don’t lie to me just to find an excuse to break up. I can’t endure such terrible pain.” Emma continued her senseless pleading, her tone shifting between begging and blaming. Her emotions surged and fell like the tide, making it hard for Alden to grasp. But after facing Emma so many times, he no longer wavered.“You’re the only one who lied. I’ve never deceived you,” Alden replied bitterly. “If you want proof, I’ll gladly show it to you. But what for? I don’t need to prove anything. Our relationship is over. If that helps you wake up, I’ll bring the test results right to your face.”“No way! Al
