Semua Bab The Second Marriage Chance [English]: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Sarah Madam Cornell's hand met Philip's uncle's cheek with a resounding slap, her anger palpable as she vehemently denied his accusations. "Liar! You dare to accuse me just because you hear that I'm siding with you! Philip, didn't it even occur to you that Sarah's evidence might be fake? She's a manipulating schemer! She'll stoop to any level just to evade accountability and worm her way back into our family!" Madam Cornell's words dripped with venom as she defended herself. I could only shake my head in disbelief at her outburst. "Madam Cornell, do you think I'm a magician? Did I suddenly conjure up evidence in such a short time?" Megan stepped forward, attempting to mediate. "Philip, trust—" Philip yanked his arm away from Megan's grasp, his eyes blazing with fury. "There's a surveillance camera in that conference room. We'll eventually uncover the truth behind the evidence I presented." Philip ground his teeth as he confronted his uncle. "You're fired! You're not contr

Sarah I'm having a leisurely day here at Serenity Pines Estate. I spent some time playing "Death Marriage" on the same computer I used when Philip and I were married, reminiscing about old times in the computer and game room. If gaming didn't suit my mood, I contemplated ordering my favorite meal from Highland Hills or indulging in well-deserved rest. Today, I've chosen to take it easy, letting Philip handle his affairs while I focus on enjoying myself. There's no point in dwelling on problems that no longer concern me. As I sat in the kitchen, savoring a strawberry milkshake, the tranquility was interrupted by the arrival of Madam Cornell and Megan. Their presence didn't surprise me; it was evident they came with ill intentions, likely to stir up trouble in Philip's absence. Madam Cornell wasted no time in expressing her disdain for my presence. "You have the nerve to stay here at Serenity Pines despite no longer being married to Philip. Leave at once!" Ignoring their ho

Sarah Philip graciously ushered me into the gathering, where all eyes immediately fixed upon me. Yet, my attention was only in one direction—the buffet! A passing waiter showcased a plate adorned with buttered lobster, its vibrant hue and alluring scent tantalizing my senses. My mouth watered at the mere thought of savoring it. "Hmm… I want that!" I exclaimed, tugging at Philip's sleeve like an eager child, pointing towards the dish. He regarded me with a knowing gaze. "Why?" I inquired. "I didn't leave you hungry at Serenity Pines, did I? If I had known you were such a lobster enthusiast, I would've brought the head chef from this restaurant to the villa," he remarked. "Tsk!" For months, I had been shackled to a restrictive diet, convinced that my heart was frail and vulnerable. However, learning this wasn't the case, I felt liberated and eager to indulge in anything I wanted! Before I could respond, my former mother-in-law appeared, accompanied by Megan. "What's

Sarah I'm not to blame for how the gathering mirrored the darkness of my blouse. Auntie Marietta felt embarrassed in front of her friends, and Philip's family appeared perplexed, their frustration seemingly aimed at me. I excused myself from Philip, stating, "I'll be right back; I just need to step away for a comfort room." He glanced at me, perhaps assuming I needed the restroom after indulging in so much food. "Hmm..." he murmured, nodding in understanding. Assistant Alex coincidentally messaged him, diverting my ex-husband's attention to urgent office matters. Jane's absence raised questions. Where could she be? Perhaps her flight was delayed, causing her to arrive late to the gathering. In the restroom, I checked Jakob's message. "Ten minutes, doll!" it read. I quickly shot a message to Jane, firm in my decision not to depart the gathering without catching sight of her. As I typed, my attention was drawn to my ex-mother-in-law's deliberate retreat from Auntie Mari

Philip Sarah's escape has left me in a foul mood, and I have reprimanded several employees in the office because of it. I issued a strict deadline to my team, sending them into a frenzy as they scrambled to meet it. Josh has lost his utility as a pawn in my game against Sarah; her apparent fearlessness rendered him useless as leverage. "Boss, it appears Mr. Amir Benner knew Madam Sarah before your marriage," Alex interjected, drawing my attention. I looked up, intrigued, awaiting Alex's explanation. "Ms. Jessica Woods and Madam Sarah attended the same university before Madam Sarah relocated to Highland Hills. That's the extent of our findings." "So, you're saying they could've been fighting over the same guy, and that guy's Amir?" I grimaced as I asked. "No, Boss! Please don't entertain such thoughts. You are far more dignified and handsome than him," Alex reassured hastily. Alex seemed determined to alleviate my mood, but his words failed to stir any emotion within me
