All Chapters of The Ruthless CEO'S Chosen Wife : Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Raymond turned off the TV, but the room stayed heavy with what they’d all seen. Millie in handcuffs stuck in Michelle’s mind like a ghost that wouldn’t leave. The silence that followed was filled with thoughts—peace had come, but with a cost she hadn’t fully realized. Michelle didn’t speak at once. She looked at the small baby in her arms, her daughter’s soft breaths reminding her why she fought so hard. Still, the silence bothered her. Raymond spoke first. You don’t have to think about her now, he said softly, moving a hair from her face. She’s gone, Michelle. She can’t get to you or the twins. It’s over. Michelle shook her head slowly. It’s not that simple, she replied. Raymond seemed confused. What do you mean? She’s my sister, Michelle whispered, eyes down. Or… she was. I don’t know what to call her now. I thought I’d feel free, but it’s not easy. It still hurts. Chloe noticed Michelle’s change in mood and softened her voice. You can feel everything, you know? Grief, relief, con

Michelle went back inside after a while, she sat frozen in the visiting room, her heart pounding loudly in her chest. Millie's words echoed relentlessly in her mind. Still trying to come to grips with that revelation, Michelle was taken aback when Millie mentioned someone else. Mother, Millie whispered again, her voice barely audible. Vivian Davenport. Hearing that name felt like a sharp slap to Michelle’s face. Her eyes narrowed, and she gripped the edge of the cold metal table tightly. Are you saying… our mother was part of all this too? Millie nodded slowly, her gaze falling to the floor. She did more than just get involved, Michelle. She planned much more than you think. Michelle’s throat felt dry, and she shook her head slightly, struggling to understand. That doesn’t add up. Vivian barely spoke to me unless she had something nasty to say. She didn’t even try to be part of my life after the wedding was announced. Millie let out a hollow, bitter laugh. Exactly. She was working

Michelle looked in the mirror, feeling a mix of fear, anger, and disbelief. Vivian's words rang in her mind, cold and sharp: You took everything from Millie. You stole her future. But don't worry, Michelle. I'll make sure you pay for it.Michelle's grip on the phone was tight, turning her knuckles white. At some point, her mother had pretended to care. Vivian had always been unkind, but this felt like a declaration of war. Stay away from my family, Michelle said firmly into the phone, her voice steady despite the fear in her chest.Vivian laughed, a cold, mocking laugh. Family? That's not your word, Michelle. You don't belong anywhere. You're unfit to be a mother. Then the line went dead. Michelle stood there in silence, phone still pressed to her ear, hoping Vivian would suddenly explain this madness. But there was only the quiet night outside.Raymond returned to the room just as she lowered the phone. He saw the fear in her eyes despite her calm face. Was it her again? he asked. Mi

The court notice felt heavy in the room. Michelle’s hands shook as she gripped the paper. The words blurred as she held it tight. It felt like the walls were closing in. Vivian’s legal challenge wasn’t just a surprise—it was an attack on all Michelle and Raymond had built with their children and new family. Raymond stood by the door, tense and quiet with anger. He hadn’t spoken since the letter came, but Michelle could sense his frustration. He was just as caught off guard by the court notice, yet his silence showed determination.Finally, Raymond spoke. I won't let her take anything from you, he said, calm but determined. Michelle looked at him, feeling her heart race. Do you think I’ll just let her ruin everything? You're wrong. Raymond’s face was serious. That’s not what I meant. I know you’ll fight back. But we need to be smart. We can’t let her pull us into her problems. If she’s willing to go this far, she'll do anything to discredit us . And we have to be ready too.Michelle th

The sun was setting, casting an orange glow over the sprawling estate. Inside the penthouse, things were tense. Raymond stood by the large windows in the study, hands clasped behind his back. The stress of the day weighed on him, and tension filled the air. Michelle sat across from him, worried, tracing her teacup with her fingers.They can't do this, Michelle said quietly, feeling frustrated and surprised. Vivian can’t just—She can, Raymond interrupted firmly. The courts are on her side now. We have to follow her rules. We need to fight this legally, Michelle, and prepare for whatever she might do next. She won’t stop until she gets what she wants.Michelle’s grip tightened on the teacup. I’ve done everything right, Raymond. I’ve been a good wife, a good mother, everything she couldn't be. Still, she’s trying to destroy what we’ve built. Raymond crossed the room and knelt in front of her, gently lifting her chin to meet his gaze. You didn’t ask for this, but you’ve shown you’re stron
