บททั้งหมดของ After Divorce, I Married The CEO : บทที่ 151 - บทที่ 160

Chapter 152Brian couldn't think straight anymore.His mind and thoughts were in a total disarray as he was constantly wondering why he had gotten into such a mess in the first place and made himself a puppet in Xavier's scheme.Ever since the bounty was increased, he had not even had the balls to move out of his house. He feared that someone would know what he had done. Anyone who stared in his direction for more than a second sent chills down his spine, and anyone who he saw whispering to each other seemed to be whispering about what he had done. The guilt was consuming him and greed was continually forcing him to consider Caleb's offer.The words replayed in his head, day after day: even though he had aided and abetted in Jane's disappearance and he finally decided to speak up, he would be forgiven and exenorated, kept anonymous and receive the millions! And Celeb would even ensure his safety!One million dollars! So much he could do with that!He had earlier made some calculations

Chapter 154Stella was furious. She had returned to the Lockwood's mansion and pleaded but Xavier didn't listen to her. This time, he threw her out with her belongings. Her rage knew no bounds as she hurled her belongings to the nearest hotel she could find. The hotel receptionist just happened to be at the receiving end of her frustrations.“Get me a room immediately!” She ordered, almost pushing the person who had just been attended to away.“Sure, ma'am,” the smiling receptionist replied, knowing fully well that Stella was just another belligerent customers who were experts at transferring their aggressions.After she was told her room number and given her keys, Stella moved to the said room with her heels clicking furiously against the marble floor and her lips moving quickly as she spat out silent curses. Her bizarre actions attracted the curious glances from the people present but none made a move to ask what the problem was.She flung her purse to the bed immediately she walked

Chapter 156“Are you ready for your interview now, ma'am?” Stella was in the studio of Far and Wide, one of the biggest publishing houses in the city. She knew that just one interview with them was enough to spread the word round about Xavier and Rose, and she had, of course, adequately planned for such.As she sat in front of the magazine editor, she felt a sense of deja vu. The last time she was here was to expose Caleb and Bianca and now she was back again, to expose Rose and Xavier.She smiled and flipped her hair over her shoulder.“Of course I'm ready,” she told the magazine editor.“Okay, good. If you don't mind, we'll record this,” the editor said.“Sure.”“Alright. So, Miss Stella, you said you had information concerning Xavier Lockwood and Rose Lockwood who happen to be the uncle and mother of CEO Caleb Lockwood respectively?” “I do,” Stella smiled.“Let's hear it then.”“I sincerely hate that I have to come out to the public to make this revelation but I believe it is abs

Chapter 158Caleb ignored the many greetings from the employees as he made his way through the elevator and to the office where Xavier had now occupied as the acting CEO.It was just a few hours into the day yet he was already brimming with indignation over what he had just read in the morning papers.As he reached the outside of Xavier's new office, the secretary stood from her desk.“Good morning, sir.”“Morning,” Caleb replied without any emotion. “I need to see Xavier.”“Uh…”Caleb frowned at the apprehensive look on the secretary's face.“What is it?” Caleb snapped. He knew that he was transferring his aggression to the innocent lady but after what he had read, the slightest thing provoked him.“Mr Xavier has asked not to be disturbed for any reason,” she replied shakily and swallowed hard.Caleb sighed and clenched his jaw. He knew that the woman was fearful only because of Xavier's rigidity and high-handedness in dealing with his subordinates but he was not in the mood to wait

Chapter 160By the time Xavier returned to the office, his secretary informed him that some members of the press had called in to have a word with him.Xavier informed Rose of the development and assured her that there was nothing to worry about and he would take care of everything.Afterwards, he went through the names of the reporters, did a little research and then granted audience to the reporter whose news house had the highest media coverage.“Let her know that if she arrives even a minute after the arranged time, she might as well kiss this interview goodbye,” Xavier said to his secretary who then relayed the news to the reporter.As expected, the reporter had come earlier, precisely five minutes before the agreed time, and beads of perspiration lined her forehead and also settled above her lip. With the way she was breathing heavily, it was obvious that she had hurried down to the office as fast as a bolt of lightening.The interview did not take as much time as the reporter
