All Chapters of Wife's Second Chance : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Eric's POV"Why? What's wrong? Is there a problem again?" Lina asked, starting to feel curious about the instructions I had just given her.I could sense the uncertainty in her voice. Although I had explained the importance of keeping things confidential, I knew that Lina's worries might stem from anxiety about the larger situation. This was the right moment to reassure her that all our plans were going according to the scenario I had outlined. I hoped this would allow her to focus better and not get caught up in unnecessary doubts."Yes, of course, we are not really safe yet, dear. Malisa just called me and asked about Serena's condition. She wanted me to send a photo or video of Serena because I told her that Serena was sleeping here. But I refused and gave her another reason, so I think Malisa felt annoyed with me and hung up the phone without much small talk. I'm worried that Malisa is starting to suspect our plans. The most concerning thing is if she decides to look for Serena at

Eric's POV I need to quickly find a way to make money again, especially to cover the unpaid wages to those buzzers. But I'm confused about how to go about it. For a moment, I thought about finding ideas that could instantly draw in a lot of money from various sources.Maybe I could leverage this situation to find opportunities. Digging up information about the people involved in this issue might be a good first step. Or, I could look for ways to exploit this tension for financial gain, like selling information or creating content that draws attention.I might also think more creatively, like designing a crowdfunding scheme or doing something to attract public interest. With a bit of luck and the right strategy, I’m sure I can get the money I want. These ideas keep swirling in my head, and I’m determined to find a profitable way out.Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck me: to extort Malisa using Serena’s name. Considering Malisa believes Serena is with m

Eric's POV With her gentleness, Lina tried to provide a sense of security and affection that Serena might not have felt before. Amid the existing tension, this moment became a small light that could potentially change everything.In my view, Lina was an intelligent woman, not shallow like Malisa. That was the charm that made me want to remain with Lina. On the other hand, Malisa was too naive and innocent; I didn’t like women who were practically like her. It felt incredibly boring and unexciting. Malisa seemed monotonous and easily fooled, which made me feel unchallenged.In contrast, Lina was entirely different. She knew how to position herself and feed my ego. Her understanding and caring personality made me feel valued. There was an intriguing dynamic between us, a connection that made me feel alive.Lina could see and understand sides of me that Malisa might never have perceived. In my mind, the stronger this feeling grew, the clearer it became t

Eric's POV Although I felt hesitant to say it, worried that Serena would reject me or could read my thoughts, I was relieved when she remained silent, as if thinking. However, I spoke again to reassure her."Serena, this could be an opportunity for you. If you ask for money for the study tour, it could show that you still want to be in touch and also put a little pressure on your mother," I said, trying to sound convincing.In my mind, there was a plan to use Serena as a tool to blackmail Malisa. Although my intentions were not pure, I tried to keep Serena from realizing what I was really planning. My success in influencing her mind gave me new impetus to continue my bigger plan. "Sorry, it's not that Dad doesn't want to be responsible for your expenses, but Dad hasn't found a job yet because all of Dad's assets have been secretly frozen by your mom. So, Dad has difficulty making transactions; Dad's credit and ATM cards have also been blocked by your

Eric's POV I tried to keep my expression calm, hoping everything would go as planned and Serena wouldn’t dig deeper into this issue. Suddenly, Serena furrowed her brow, puzzled by my answer.“Is that true, Dad? Is it true that Mom hasn’t sent the money I asked for on the phone?” she pressed again.I felt the pressure mounting, but I tried to stay calm. “Yes, dear. Sometimes transfers can be a bit slow. There might be a technical issue. Let’s just wait, okay?” I replied reassuringly.I hoped to divert her attention and make her feel more comfortable without suspecting anything. I just needed my plan to remain safe.“Let me see,” Serena said.“Of course, look here. Check my phone! There’s no notification that your mother has sent the money you asked for earlier,” I said, handing her my phone to check.Serena took the phone I offered and looked at the screen to check for any transfer notification from Malisa. However, she didn’
