Alle Kapitel von The Billionaire's Regret: Getting My Wife Back: Kapitel 171 – Kapitel 180

NOVA “What's wrong?” I frowned at Dashiell who had been fidgeting since he returned from the house. He kept on tugging his shirt, with his gaze occasionally at the door like he was expecting someone. “I… You see…” He pulled on his shirt, looking at me with a pouting expression on his face. “I…” He rubbed the back of his neck. “Don't get angry with me. I…” He trailed off without saying what he wanted to say. “What's going on? What did you do? Why are you asking for forgiveness?” “I told my mother about us.” “And? Is that anything serious?” I took a sip of the juice he got. After visiting my kids and checking on Brion, I had the energy to have breakfast, unlike last night. “Your mum already knows we are together. Weren't we married before I left five years ago?” I lifted my brows at that, wondering what was going on with him. He looked so out of it when he returned from the house and had been acting strange ever since then. “I told her about the children.” “You did what?!” H

To say I was stunned would be an understatement. Folding my arms, I gazed into the eyes of a mother-in-law who had made my life miserable. Who would have thought a day like this would come? Fast at that? It was surreal. I had to pinch myself numerous times to be certain my mind wasn't making anything up.Dashiell placed his left palm on my shoulder as he stood next to me. He didn't make a sound, but I knew what he had in mind. The hand on my shoulder told me everything. He just wanted me to know he would stand by me, no matter what I decide on. "You are doing this because of the kids, right?” I made it sound like a question when it wasn't. There was no uncertainty about it. She wanted to extend the olive branch because of her grandkids. Had it not been for them, I doubt she would have been here. Amaya would never stoop low for something that wouldn't be beneficial to her.“Mama Kaka would have been thrilled to know you have babies. She cared for you, you know?” She questioned, ignor

DASHIELLAfter bidding farewell to my mum. I turned to go, only to be stopped by a call. I brought my phone out of my pocket and answered it after seeing the caller's ID. I wasn't expecting Ben to call me this morning after we spoke last night. “Hello?”“I've checked their backgrounds,” he said, not sparing time for pleasantries. “Brion isn't who you Lilith claimed he is. Someone worked on those pictures. I have sent the originals to your phone. You will see just how good whoever worked on it is.”“What?!” I froze in my steps. “Are you certain about this?”Oddly enough, I wanted Brion to be the bad person. Call me selfish or whatever you have in mind, but you can't fault me for that. Should he turn out to be the villain, it wouldn't be difficult to get Nova to my side. However, if all I knew were lies, then… “Lilith lied.” “Exactly my thoughts. She provided fake evidence to you and lied about him. Which made me investigate her.” “And?” “I found nothing unusual about her.” “What?

His eyes narrowed at that. “Why will she try to involve me in this? What's in it for her?” He looked up from the phone, focusing his attention on me. “Why's she doing this?”“It's something I'm trying to work out.” I crossed my legs. “I know we are enemies since we love the same woman, and you want nothing to do with me, just like I don't, but I think we need to work together. We have a common enemy. Whoever attempted to harm Nova back then was undoubtedly the one who caused the accident. I had seen the footage. It wasn't as accidental as they wanted to make it look.”“I see.” He dropped my phone on the bed next to him. “What do you have in mind? Do you have a plan already?”“Not at the moment.” Shaking my head, I sat up in the chair. “I employed a secret detective weeks ago, but he hadn't given me any positive feedback. I had to chat one up today. He's the best hacker, and I hope to get a response before evening, or tomorrow.”"I see.” Brion's expression turned thoughtful. "A hacker,

DASHIELL“Hello? Any news?” I asked the moment I was out of earshot of Nova. I didn't want her to hear my conversations. Brion said it would be better to keep this from her until we have gotten an answer, which I agreed was the best. Nova would want to know everything and that might endanger her. Keeping her in the dark while seeking her assailants out was the best thing. “I have gotten information on the woman you sent her name to me. Like you suspected, she's involved in a shady business with the men of the underworld.”“What?!” “I sent the file to you. You can review it. When you are done, call me. I'm still tracking her.”“What of the pictures uploaded to my office servers? Was she the one that did it?”“Not at all. She's not a computer-literate. Though the IP leads to a place close to her house, she's not that capable of pulling it off. I believe she has someone, an accomplice who's good enough to keep their tracks hidden. I wouldn't have gotten anything on Lilith if I wasn't
