Semua Bab Dear Ex-Wife, Let Us Restart: Bab 91 - Bab 100

091. Rosa didn't look surprised. “I expected that. I seriously expected Dave to be his son. I'm not shocked one bit.” Janette shook her head and sat down. When she had seen the striking resemblance Dave had to Liam, she had thought it was a coincidence. That was why she wanted to do a DNA test to be sure. She didn't expect that the results would come out positive. This was too much for her to bear. Liam hadn’t just been lying, deceiving, and manipulating her for six years—he had a son. A son he had hidden from her. And the mother of that child? The same woman who had ruined her first marriage. Not only did he destroy everything she held dear, he also posed as her savior—the man who rescued her and gave her a better life. But all these years, he had been slowly killing her from the inside. “Was he that ruthless, huh? I can’t even ask why he did what he did anymore, Rosa. I’m so heartbroken,” Janette facepalmed, tears rolling down her cheeks. It was so devastating for her to real

093. Since Janette wasn’t working yet, she decided to pick Ethan up from school with Lucas. Sophia had been calling to do it, but she declined. Now that she was free, she would rather carry her kid herself. After all, she didn’t trust anyone anymore, not after the threat Liam gave her earlier that day. She recalled how Liam was the one who asked Sophia to stay in the same house with them the other time. She wondered if she was also working with him, but she didn’t want to find that out. “We’re here,” Lucas said as he stopped the car. Janette smiled and came down. “Wait here while I bring him. He will be so happy to see you.” Lucas chuckled and nodded while Janette happily rushed into the school compound. She made her way to the Kindergarten and walked in, only to behold a lovely sight before her. She stopped in her tracks, watching them for a while. Fiona was seated with Amaya and Etha, building blocks with them and also laughing. She loved the way Amaya’s eyes lit up whenever Fi

095. Janette took a step back, tightening her hold on Ethan’s small hand as she looked between the men in suits and Dean. “You’re mistaken,” she said, her voice firm despite the racing of her heart. “I’m not anyone’s heiress. My name is Janette—just Janette.” Who the heck were this people? And what was her business with Blackwood or the Blackwoods they were talking about? Dean smiled softly, his eyes filled with a quiet patience. “I understand this is a lot to take in. But you bear the butterfly tattoo on your right shoulder, do you not?” Janette’s breath caught in her throat. “What?” “And the birthmark,” Dean continued, but then hesitated, his gaze flicking to Lucas and Ethan, unsure how much to say in public. “It’s… just above your left hip.” Janette’s lips parted in disbelief. “How do you know that?” Dean lowered his head respectfully. “I was your father’s right-hand man. I served under him for over twenty years until the tragedy. I’ve searched for you ever since. You went mis

097. Janette’s fingers trembled as she clutched her phone, panic seizing her lungs like a vice. “Please, Liam,” she pleaded, her voice tight and raw. “Don’t hurt him. He’s just a child—he’s done nothing wrong.” “That depends on you,” Liam said smoothly, the coldness in his voice unmistakable. Ping. Her heart dropped. She hesitated before opening the video he sent. Her breath caught in her throat. Ethan was crying, his tiny frame curled up on a couch, his skin pale and clammy, his eyes barely open. She could hear his gasps, shallow and rapid, and the wheezing that made every breath a struggle. Janette’s vision blurred. “Mommy…” he whimpered in the video, reaching out toward whoever was filming. “It hurts…” “Liam!” Janette screamed into the phone. “What did you do to him?!” He didn’t answer immediately. Then, with chilling calm, he said, “I gave him peanut butter.” Her stomach lurched. “He’s allergic! You know that. he could die!” “Which is why you’ll do exactly what I say,”

099.Lucas paced the length of his study, the phone pressed to his ear as he listened to the automated voice again.“The number you are trying to reach is currently unavailable…”He ended the call with a growl, his jaw clenching. He immediately redialed again. Nothing.“Damn it!” he hissed, tossing the phone onto the desk. Something was wrong. Janette never ignored his calls, not for this long. Unable to sit still, he quickly called Dean.“Dean,” Lucas snapped the moment the line connected. “Is Janette with you?”“No,” Dean replied, sounding just as confused. “I thought she was with you.”Lucas’s eyes narrowed. “She left to pick Ethan up from school. That was hours ago. Her line’s dead.”Dean’s tone darkened. “That’s not like her.”Just then, the door to the study burst open. Rosa and Alan rushed in, their faces pale and anxious.“Lucas,” Rosa said, breathless, “we found Janette’s car. It was parked in the school’s parking lot; just sitting there. But… she wasn’t inside.”Lucas’s hear
