Lahat ng Kabanata ng Overflowing Affection From My Billionaire Uncle-in-Law Turned Husband: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

"God gave you beauty, not intended for you to waste it. With your looks, a simple makeover could enchant a whole crowd," Jenny said.Haley shrugged indifferently, intentionally mimicking the tone of Jenny, and said with a hint of playfulness, "Firstly, my beauty is a gift from my mom, and secondly, I can charm plenty of people even without dressing up."Jenny was infuriated by her pretentious attitude, gritting her teeth and rolling her eyes uncontrollably. She retorted, "Oh, really? Well, word on the street is that you're just a pretty face, unable to even keep your own fiancé in check."Thinking of her ex-fiancé, Haley snorted disdainfully. "I don't care about his affection."Jenny crossed her arms and sneered, "Is that so? I recall someone who used to cling to James like a shadow."Recalling the scenes of her often following James in the past, Haley couldn't help but feel a little bit embarrassed.Ten years ago, she had an accident and woke up forgetting a lot of things. But s

"I know she's been good to you, but James is still her own grandson. Plus, if this matter gets out, it won't reflect well on the Ford family's reputation," said Jenny, her expression grave.Her upbringing wasn't as privileged as Haley's, and influenced by her family since childhood, she never believed genuine feelings existed in the face of self-interest.It's true that Mrs. Ford Sr. favored Haley, and it's true she doted on her, but in comparison to the entire Ford family, where did Haley really stand?Haley pondered for a moment, a faint smile playing on her lips. "It's okay. Let's take it one step at a time."In truth, she wasn't entirely confident either, but she absolutely wouldn't continue with this marriage engagement. She could accept that James didn't love her, and she could accept a marriage of mutual respect in the future, but she couldn't tolerate betrayal and deceit. So, she would definitely call off the engagement, no matter the cost.How could Jenny not see the conf

As more and more people gathered around to watch, Xena gritted her teeth inwardly, wishing she could hide her face to avoid being recognized. Coming here for dinner today was truly a mistake. She shouldn't have provoked Haley, that despicable person! It was all her fault. Why did she have to bring up these things? She could clearly sense the strange glances from the onlookers growing increasingly odd. They seemed tinged with disdain and mockery, as if they were regarding her as an unwanted third wheel intruding in someone else's relationship.But what was her fault? In matters of love, the one who wasn't loved was the true third wheel! James loved her, so she was the one who should have married him. Haley was just taking advantage of the favoritism of Mrs. Ford Sr. to seize control of this marriage. James had never found himself surrounded by so many people before, and a tinge of embarrassment flashed across his handsome face. He angrily shouted, "Haley, have you caused enou

He was seething with anger, wishing he could smash the phone. He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and continued typing on his phone.【You've worn the title of future Mrs. Ford for years, and now you're asking me for money? Dream on! I'm warning you, I'll go to my grandmother tomorrow and call off this engagement. Even if I do end up marrying you, I won't give you a second glance.】Haley continued to reply: 【Calling off the engagement works for me, but you owe me money. Ten million, not a penny less. Otherwise, your beloved woman can only ever be a mistress for the rest of her life.】James could hardly believe that these words were coming from the usually gentle Haley. In the past, whenever he showed a slightly firm attitude, Haley would always accommodate him. He subconsciously thought that this time Haley would also compromise.After all, she was now struggling in the Carter family, and without the support of the Ford family, she would probably have been kicked ou

Once you're in there, no one cared how noble your status was, only how hard your fists were."Well...," Haley tapped her fingertips lightly on the table, lost in thought.Seeing her lowered gaze and unreadable expression, the butler couldn't help but ask, "Madam, did someone steal your belongings?"Haley chuckled coldly and pointed to the Rose Manor, saying, "This estate is an inheritance from my mother, yet now it's been gifted to Xena by James. Tell me, does that not qualify as theft?"She had lent that Rose Manor to James, never expecting he would turn around and gift it to Xena.Five years ago, their relationship hadn't yet soured. James claimed he liked her Rose Manor and wanted to take some friends there for a few days.At the time, she hadn't thought much of it and had handed him the keys directly. She was still deeply immersed in the grief of losing her mother, quickly forgetting the incident.If she hadn't seen it today and felt oddly familiar, she probably wouldn't hav
