My Boss, My Husband のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 151 - チャプター 160

"Surprising, isn't it?" The words slipped out of me, laced with a hint of bitterness."Considering how I behaved at your wedding... yes, it is," Liam admitted, his tone surprisingly sober and composed. "I never got the chance to properly apologize to you. But seeing Amelia at that party—finding out that Lucius had known about her whereabouts all along—was more than disorienting."The bitterness drained away, replaced by shock. Liam's voice, clear and steady, was not what I had expected. He actually seemed... better. Even though his arm was in a sling, he was speaking like someone more in control. I took a seat on a nearby chair and moved a little closer to him."Well, my father didn't exactly handle the situation peacefully either. It was an unfortunate event for all of us," I said, wanting to offer some kind of consolation.Despite knowing what Liam had done to Lucius, I couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for him."Have you settled things with Amelia? Have you two made pea

If there was one thing I could say about the Browns, it was that they sure knew how to throw a party. Or at least, that was the impression I was getting from the grandeur of Selena's birthday celebration. The mansion had been elegantly decorated with roses, peonies, and orchids guiding guests from the entrance to a grand ballroom. Inside, the same floral theme continued, enhanced by chandeliers, candles, and draped fabrics.A live band was playing on a stage, filling the room with music, while some guests danced and others mingled. The dress code was formal, so I was in a long peach-colored gown, and Lucius was in a sharp suit. We were standing in one corner, observing the festivities and sipping wine."I didn't know they had a ballroom in this house," I commented."There isn't just one. There are several," Lucius corrected me casually."Of course there are," I responded, masking my astonishment at the sheer size of this place.I turned my attention to the star of the evening, Sel

"This wasn't part of the plan…" Clara muttered, shaking her head in disbelief, just as stunned as I was. "I thought they'd get married at a courthouse with no party, not like this. That's not my father-in-law, not the man I know…"I moved to place a comforting hand on her shoulder, but she was already rushing after her husband, who was storming out of the party, even angrier than before."That was intense," I said to Lucius. But he didn't respond, which struck me as odd.I turned to look at him, and then I saw why he had gone quiet—Liam was approaching us. His body language was stiff, unsure of what to say. Lucius remained silent, just as tense."Did you know about the surprise wedding, Liam? Is that why you came down from your room?" I asked kindly, trying to fill the awkward silence."He called me a few minutes ago to tell me about it. I knew it was true. My brother doesn't make things up for no reason," he replied."Well, looks like he told Lionel too. He definitely managed to

"I've learned from my mistakes. I'm in a new stage of my life," Lennon said."If only forgetting were as easy as you make it sound. I haven't forgotten. How you trained me to be the heir of the Browns, how you turned me into a machine and made me see my cousins as competition—enemies. Do you really think I can forget that? How I grew up alone and isolated because of you? Excuse me if I'm not thrilled about your new family and story."Family rivalry, jealousy, apologies still not made... There were so many unresolved issues with the Browns that it was hard to keep track. At this point, I was starting to feel bad for listening in on this conversation."I don't think it's right for us to keep eavesdropping on this..." I pulled away from the wall.Leah was the only one who agreed with me. Liam and Lucius, on the other hand, were far too engrossed in the argument to stop. I glanced at them, but neither returned my look. Leah gently took my arm."Let's go ahead. They need to keep listen

The disbelief was overwhelming my senses. What Jenna was telling me made no sense. It couldn't be true. Just a few days ago, Mr. Dominic had been chatting with me, sharing his big plans for New Century. He didn't seem depressed or worried—quite the opposite. He was optimistic and confident.The news hit me so hard that a crushing pressure formed in my chest. My tongue felt like it weighed a ton, too heavy to move."Did you hang up? Are you okay?" Jenna asked from the other end of the call although she herself didn't sound fine."No... I'm still here," I managed to reply as I cleared my throat. "When did it happen? What time?""A cleaning lady from the morning shift found him…" Jenna's voice broke as she sobbed. "They think it happened during the night. We don't know much, but… I saw them carry him out in a bag. It was horrible… his office was… it was…""What was it like? How did he do it?" I rubbed my forehead, still in disbelief."He shot himself…," she cried softly. "The whole
