Return of the Heiress: I married my ex-husband's brother のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Mr. Harper, Andrew’s lawyer, stood up for his client’s defense.“Your Honor, my client refutes all claims of infidelity. The evidence they provided is not concrete enough to support the allegations against my client.”Then he turned to face the judge with a serious expression. “I request that an expert be brought in to examine the so-called evidence presented by Mr. Brown. Only then can we ensure the authenticity of these claims.”The judge nodded in agreement.“The court will not decide based on evidence that may be forged or falsified. Bailiff, please collect the evidence and examine it by an expert.”Elena’s stomach churned as she saw the bailiff collect the folder.With that, the courtroom fell into a tense silence as the expert inspected the photographs and documents presented by Mr. Brown.Every eye in the room was glued on him as he meticulously scrutinized each piece of evidence.After what felt like an eternity, the expert finally spoke.“Your Honor, after careful examination

“W-Why?” she asked weakly, with tears in her eyes.“It’s simple,” he sneered. “You dared to file for divorce against me and this is the consequence of your actions.”The blood inside Elena froze as he continued.“Don’t worry. It’s only a matter of a few hours. After that, they’ll escort you home.”“No! Andrew, please-”The kidnapper hung up the call mercilessly.As the line went dead, Elena’s gaze shifted to the group of kidnappers who were now surrounding her.They stared at her, their eyes roaming over her body with a sickening lust, as though they could not wait to pounce on her.Elena’s tears flowed down her cheeks as she shut her eyes. A silent plea to escape from the nightmare closing in around her.She refused to surrender to her fate, but she was helpless.She was alone and defenseless against a bunch of menacing figures.The kidnappers unbuckled their belts and closed in, their intentions clear.Just as they were about to make a move, the blaring sirens surrounded the warehou

Creak!The door opened, and within a flash, Elena was pushed inside the wardrobe.“Elena? Are you in here?”Elena’s breath caught in her throat as Andrew’s voice drifted into the room.A mischievous grin appeared on Lucas’ face as he observed Elena’s anxious expression.“Say, what would happen if I walked out right now?”Elena’s eyes widened in panic, her mind racing through a thousand worst-case scenarios.Lucas watched her terror-stricken appearance and dropped his forehead against her shoulder, muffling a laugh.“You…” Elena glared at him. “Can you not be so annoying for once?”Rubbing his face in the crook of her neck, Lucas responded. “I can. But you won’t be able to handle the consequences,” he admitted frankly.The tap of footsteps sounded extremely eerie in the silence.Elena glanced towards the closed door, and then back at Lucas.“Please do something,” she pinched his waist.Lucas’ eyes narrowed dangerously at her bold move and vowed to settle scores with her later.Meanwhil

On a peaceful afternoon, the sun cast its warm glow over the backyard of Serenity Mansion.Lucas relaxed comfortably on a rattan chair, with a fishing rod in hand.As he idled, the click of heels resounded in the tranquil atmosphere.A shadow loomed over and stopped across the sunlit ground.Elena halted her steps, fidgeting as she searched for the right words to discuss with Lucas.Lost in her thoughts, she failed to notice that she was blocking the sun’s rays from reaching Lucas.“You’re blocking the sun,” Lucas pointed out.“Oh! I-I’m so sorry,” Startled, Elena snapped out of her reverie and stepped aside.There was only one vacant chair in the backyard, and Lucas was sitting in it.After a moment of contemplation, Elena settled herself on the edge of the seat.As she faced Lucas, her mind raced with various thoughts, but the intensity of the sun’s rays made her squint uncomfortably.Noticing her discomfort, Lucas reached up and removed his sunglasses.He placed them on Elena’s fac

With his hand on her back, Andrew caught the strap of her dress and yanked it open.Rip!Looking at the exposed area, Andrew licked his lips and grabbed her with full force.Bang!A sudden, sharp pain sliced through the back of his skull.His vision blurred, and the world spun around him.Before he could register what was happening, another brutal slap came, and this time, Andrew staggered forward.He barely had time to process the attack before he collapsed to the floor in a sorry state.Silence descended on the room.Elena stood frozen, her body tense and shaking from fear.Her heart pounded violently, and she could feel the remnants of fear clinging to her skin.Then, her gaze fell upon the figure that loomed over Andrew’s prone body.The tall, broad-shouldered man stood like a pillar in a storm.Elena blinked, her vision clearing.Without a second thought, her legs moved before her mind could catch up.She stumbled toward him.In a fluid motion, she threw herself into his embrace
