Semua Bab Second Chance at Love: From Divorcee to the Billionaire's Bride: Bab 231 - Bab 240

When I arrived at the Pet Pavilion, I saw Luke standing at the entrance, talking on the phone. He looked different from his usual business attire, wearing a black tracksuit and styled hair that made him appear a few years younger.In that moment, I felt a sense of déjà vu. Years ago, I had seen him in a similar outfit at my house. Luke could pull off anything, even a simple tracksuit, with his tall frame, broad shoulders, and narrow waist. Back then, he had stood under a wall of blooming roses, lost in thought with his hands in his pockets. At that time, I was focused on Max and barely noticed Luke. However, that brief glimpse of him had left a lasting impression on me. The memory felt so vivid, as if it had happened just yesterday, despite the passage of years and the many changes that had occurred.I overheard a snippet of Luke's phone conversation, so I positioned myself a bit further away to avoid eavesdropping. When Luke spotted me, he ended the call."Sorry for the inconvenien

Luke reacted quickly, pulling me back just in time by my arm, causing me to bump into his chest."Sorry, I didn't see you there," the person with the shopping cart hurriedly apologized. I nodded slightly to indicate that it was fine.Luke's eyes darkened, and the other person quickly left upon noticing his stern expression."See how quickly that boyfriend reacted? He pulled her into his arms immediately! Last time, you just stood there dumbly while I got hit by a bicycle!" The couple's argument floated over, reminding me that I was still leaning against Luke's chest. I quickly straightened up and took a step to the side.My sudden movement was like that of a startled rabbit, jumping away.Feeling a bit embarrassed, I said, "Thanks for just now.""You seem to get it well," Luke remarked.I was speechless.Luke, looking displeased, pushed the cart past me. He worked out regularly, and even through his clothes, I could feel the firmness of his chest. I discreetly touched my back,

Wendy grew increasingly agitated, contemplating whether she would have already slapped Francis Muller if he were in front of her."Wendy is always so caring, never wanting me to suffer even a little," I said, feeling warmth spread through me. Tears welled up in my eyes."Of course, you're my treasure!" Wendy's voice gradually calmed. "Did Luke do anything about this? Since it happened at JL Capital, he should have intervened, right?""If he didn't handle it, then anyone could bully JL Capital's employees.""From the way you're talking, Luke did more than just intervened—he did a good job?""He did an excellent job."I recounted the entire incident to Wendy."You've grown up, Jen! This is such an exciting story, and you didn't tell me!" Wendy said, excitedly."Wendy, I was wrong. Give me another chance."I thought everyone involved would keep it quiet. Little did I know that Francis would gossip and distort the story."Here we go again!" Wendy said fondly. "So, how do you plan

Ugh, it's so frustrating! It's incredibly easy to spread rumors, but debunking them feels like an uphill battle. I'm the victim here, but now I'm being portrayed as a flirtatious woman who seduced someone else's husband. Even if I were looking for a man, Francis would be the last person I'd choose.As I let the cold water cool my anger, I gradually calmed down. Rumors are as fierce as tigers; if I don't act quickly to provide evidence and stop the gossip, it will not only tarnish my reputation, but also bring shame to JL Capital.Since joining JL Capital, small issues have been popping up frequently. If this continues, it might cause problems with the other partners. I need to resolve this quickly.That day, Luke asked Zac to retrieve the surveillance footage that captured Francis's actions towards me. He has no proof to support his claim that I seduced him, but I have solid evidence of his harassment. Let's see how he can deny it then!I reached out to Zac. He was already at his d

"Go ahead and call the police. Let's see if they even bother with something like this," Patty said defiantly. "And even if they do, what are they going to do? Lock me up? If you don't help me, I'll be here every day, becoming your worst nightmare!""Did Mandy put you up to this? What did she offer you that's worth ruining your career?" Patty's shameless behavior was a stark contrast to the shy, somewhat pitiful girl I once knew. Time changes people, sometimes beyond recognition."I'm doing this for my job. How could I be ruining my career? Don't try to scare me! I'm not a three-year-old who's going to be fooled by your words!"I tried to keep my patience. "Do you know why Origin Real Estate rejected me?"Patty replied irritably, "Because you're not good enough!""JL Capital only employs capable candidates. If I weren't capable, I wouldn't be Luke Walker's assistant. Don't believe what others say. I didn't get into JL Capital because of some unclear relationship with Luke.""You s
