All Chapters of RISE OF THE EX WIFE : Mona's Revenge: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Chapter 131Emily Caldwell's hands shook as she lifted the crystal tumbler to her lips. The whiskey burned her throat, but not as much as the words she had just heard on the phone. Charles Jones was cooperating with federal prosecutors. Charles Jones was going to testify against her.The news had come from her lawyer an hour ago. Now she sat in the mansion's library, surrounded by empty bottles and the ruins of everything she had built over thirty years."That backstabbing rat," Emily spat, throwing the glass against the wall. Crystal shards scattered across the Persian rug like broken dreams. "After everything I did for him."She reached for another bottle of whiskey, her movements clumsy and desperate. The alcohol dulled the sharp edges of her rage, but it couldn't stop the fear that gnawed at her chest. Jones knew everything. Every phone call, every plan, every crime they had committed together.The library door burst open. Richard Caldwell stood in the doorway, his face twisted wi

Chapter 133The Caldwell mansion shook with the sound of Richard's fist hitting the television remote. The fifty-inch screen went black, but the damage was already done. Alexander Kane's face had filled every news channel in Boston, his voice declaring himself James Caldwell Jr., rightful heir to everything Richard thought belonged to his family."Impossible," Richard whispered, his hands trembling as he stared at the dark screen. "James's son died. The boy died in the car accident with Catherine."Samuel sat frozen in his leather chair, his face pale as marble. "Father, the DNA evidence. The birth certificates. Those documents looked real."The mansion's front door burst open. Emily stumbled into the living room, her hair wild, her clothes wrinkled from sleeping in yesterday's whiskey-stained dress. Dark circles surrounded her bloodshot eyes."Did you see it?" Emily's voice was hoarse, broken. "Did you see what that monster just did to us?"Richard stood up slowly, his legs unsteady.

Chapter 135The hospital room door opened quietly, and Alexander Kane stepped inside, followed by Mona. The afternoon sunlight streaming through the windows caught Alexander's face, highlighting the strong jawline and deep-set eyes that were unmistakably Caldwell features.Richard's breath caught in his throat as he looked at the man he had met countless times at business events, charity galas, and corporate meetings. All those years, he had shaken hands with Alexander Kane, never knowing he was looking at his own nephew."My God," Richard whispered. "All this time... all those meetings... you were James's son."Lora shot up from her chair like a missile, her face twisted with rage. "How dare you come here! How dare you show your face in this room!"Alexander remained calm, his hands clasped behind his back. "I came because my uncle asked to see me.""You're nothing to this family!" Lora's voice cracked with fury. "You're a fraud, a liar trying to steal what doesn't belong to you!"Mo

Chapter 137The Caldwell Industries boardroom had never felt so different. Alexander Kane sat at the head of the long mahogany table where Emily Caldwell had ruled for twenty years. The afternoon sun streamed through floor-to-ceiling windows, casting golden light across the room where his father had once dreamed of building something lasting.Twelve board members sat around the table, their faces a mixture of curiosity and nervousness. These were the same people who had followed Emily's orders without question, who had profited from her criminal schemes, who had turned their backs when justice called."Ladies and gentlemen," Alexander began, his voice carrying the weight of authority that came with owning one hundred percent of the company. "Today marks the beginning of a new era for Caldwell Industries."Margaret Stevens, the longest-serving board member, shifted uncomfortably in her chair. "Mr. Kane, we're still processing yesterday's events. Richard's death, the ownership transfer.

Chapter 139The morning sun filtered through the Kane penthouse windows as Alexander sat at the breakfast table, reading the financial news on his tablet. Steam rose from his coffee cup while Mona buttered toast at the counter, her silk robe catching the light."Listen to this," Alexander said, his voice carrying a mixture of satisfaction and disbelief. "Miller Financial has begun foreclosure proceedings on the Caldwell mansion. The family has thirty days to vacate."Mona paused with the butter knife in her hand. "Thirty days? That's incredibly fast."Alexander scrolled through the article, his eyes scanning the details. "They owe over fifty million dollars. Multiple mortgages, unpaid taxes, defaulted loans. Richard leveraged that house to the breaking point."Mona walked over and sat beside Alexander, reading over his shoulder. The article included a photograph of the Caldwell mansion - a grand three-story structure with white columns, perfectly manicured gardens, and wrought-iron ga
