บททั้งหมดของ Post-Divorce Seduction: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

The following day, Chelsey left the Yates residence in a red sports car. She wore a navy blue windbreaker and put on a pair of shades to hide her eyes, which were red from crying.She followed the satnav to a resort located halfway up a mountain. As soon as she parked the car, a handsome man with a gentlemanly demeanor opened the door for her.Chelsey got out, complaining, "Why did I have to come, Jace? You know I'm an introvert—I hate meeting outsiders. Remember to reject these things for me in the future. I don't want to see anyone.""Understood, Queen. I'll make sure to turn down these requests in the future. I only agreed to this one because this is your first time working with a local company. The company's president really admires you. He insisted on meeting with you in person."I'm sorry for agreeing to it, and I'll make sure this doesn't happen again!" Jason Reid said apologetically.Chelsey hummed faintly when she saw how quick he was to apologize. She followed him into t

"No, it's fine." Chelsey had loved the design of that particular necklace when coming up with it. The Vashmir sapphire had been extremely rare, and the client had provided it. It was probably worth millions in the market.She hadn't expected it to be a gift from Lucas to Shannon.Shannon acted like the realization had just dawned on her. "Oh, I'm so sorry. I forgot that you probably wouldn't have anywhere to wear the necklace even if I were to give it to you. It's not like Lucas will bring you with him to any functions. After all, you're just … a caregiver!"She emphasized the word caregiver to aggravate Chelsey.Chelsey suppressed the urge to rip that smug look off her face and turned to head to the restroom. The bitchy vibes in the banquet hall were too strong; she was afraid she'd lose control and scream bloody murder at Shannon.After entering the restroom, Chelsey put the bag with the oil paints on the counter.Shannon soon joined her. She stood beside Chelsey while slowly w

Shannon was so shocked that she blurted out shrilly, "She's the owner of Queen Jewelry?"She turned to look at Lucas. He was calm and collected. It seemed he'd long since known about this. In fact, the unfathomable look in his eyes as he gazed at Chelsey made the alarm bells in Shannon's heart ring. It made her feel on edge.The server asked Shannon, "Ms. White, should I call the police now?""No, no. We don't need to involve them in this! You guys can go now!" Shannon felt like the Vashmir sapphire necklace, which she'd been so proud of earlier, was now a hot potato. Still, she had no choice but to grin and bear it.The servers quickly backed out of the room.Albert frowned at the necklace in Shannon's hand. Then, he turned to Chelsey and asked, "Where was the necklace found?"Chelsey said bluntly, "In—"Shannon was quick to cut her off. "It doesn't matter where it was found—the important thing is that we found it. It's all thanks to your good fortune that we managed to find it

Chelsey chuckled awkwardly. "Maybe you shouldn't joke about that, Tim.""I'm not. Three years ago, you insisted on marrying that blind bat so you could repay him. Now that his vision is restored, you've repaid your debt. It's time for you to divorce Lucas."Timothy had a wry smile on as he spoke. His eyes gleamed coldly as he met Lucas' gaze through the crowd.Chelsey dragged Timothy to a deserted corner and asked, "How do you know about all of this, Tim? Do you have someone watching me or something?""I wouldn't go that far. Jenton City's only so big, and I always have eyes and ears out for things like this." Timothy's eyes were filled with heartache as he looked at her. "You've suffered a lot for the past three years, Chels."But don't be sad. I'm here, and I'll stand up for you. No one will be able to do anything to you from now on.""Tim …" Chelsey was touched. She couldn't help but throw her arms around him. Timothy had doted on her since they were kids. They weren't related

Chelsey shook her head. "Shannon's the only woman in Lucas' heart. No one can take him away from her."Josie said consolingly, "You and Luke have spent the past three years together; I'm sure he has feelings for you. He's only distancing himself from you now because Shannon's return has confused you."What you need to do now is take the initiative. As long as you get pregnant, Shannon will only ever be a mistress and a homewrecker no matter what she does."Josie spent the whole morning brainwashing Chelsey into finding a way to get pregnant with Lucas' child.Chelsey listened to her but didn't make her stance clear. This made Josie so anxious that she almost called Lucas and ordered him to come over so he and Chelsey could immediately start making babies.Unbeknownst to her, Chelsey was already traumatized. When Lucas had called out Shannon's name while above her, it had made her feel like she was the saddest woman in the world. She'd totally lost interest in sex.Chelsey only ma
