Semua Bab Turning Heads After Divorce: Bab 361 - Bab 370

The truth was, Nevaeh couldn't guarantee anything. Lucian's attitude toward Marisol had become completely unreadable to her. Despite all her assurances to her father, she felt anything but confident.After a moment, something occurred to her. She raised her head slightly, and a sharp glint flashed in her eyes. "Dad, don't worry. I have another plan.""What kind of plan?""30 days is too long," Nevaeh said. "I'll find a way to force Marisol out of the country in the next few days. Once she's abroad, no one will be able to save her."Charles was taken aback. As something dawned on him, his expression shifted slightly. "You're thinking of using... Won't that cause problems?"Nevaeh smiled."Dad, we won't be the ones getting our hands dirty, so why should we care? Nothing will happen to us. I should've thought of this approach from the beginning anyway."Charles began to smile as well.…Amara pressed her ear to the gap outside the study door, straining to catch fragments of the m

However, the travel restrictions hadn't been lifted yet, and Marisol had received no updates or feedback. She had no idea whether those men had even been caught. It was as if nothing had ever happened.As a chilling possibility dawned on her, Marisol felt her blood run cold. Her anger crystallized into sharp clarity."You're absolutely right about not calling the police. We don't know who might be protecting her, and if we can't land a decisive blow, we'll just tip our hand."It would only expose her position. From all appearances, Nevaeh probably still believed she was oblivious to the whole affair. That meant Marisol was operating from the shadows while Nevaeh remained visible.Now that she was on guard, she held the advantage.After thinking it through, Marisol transferred a million-dollar retainer to her hacker contact and asked him to investigate the entire Sorensen family from top to bottom. She wanted information on everyone, no exceptions.She was convinced that Nevaeh's

Having probably guessed that Marisol wouldn't attend the dinner party, Nevaeh sent her a photograph the day before the event.The picture showed a white stone pendant. Marisol recognized it immediately, but it should have been around Andre's neck. Why was it in Nevaeh's possession?Her expression darkened considerably.When Emilia had returned to the country a while back, she'd met Andre and taken an instant liking to him.She'd gone to great lengths to source rare smooth white stone material, personally designed the pendant, and commissioned a craftsman from the Wright family to carve it by hand. She'd even had it blessed by a priest at the local cathedral.All of this was meant to ward off evil and protect Andre, ensuring his good fortune and lifelong health throughout his days. Yet now this precious item was somehow in Nevaeh's hands.Considering Andre's obvious affection for Nevaeh, this probably wasn't theft. The boy had most likely given it to her willingly.Marisol took a

After giving the scene a cursory glance, Marisol nodded slightly to Nick and headed in that direction. She had no interest in socializing at this party. Her plan was simple: retrieve the pendant from Nevaeh and leave immediately.As she made her way across the room, Nick exchanged a few polite words with the people surrounding him, then followed at a respectful distance behind her. When Nevaeh spotted her approaching, she smiled and released Lucian's arm, turning to walk away from the group.Marisol frowned and quickened her pace to follow. But as she passed by Lucian, she caught sight of his hand reaching toward her in her peripheral vision. Instinctively, she stepped aside and hurried forward several more steps.At the same moment, Nick, who had been following behind, suddenly picked up his pace and moved closer. His shoulder collided with Lucian's as the other man seemed about to pursue Marisol. Neither man backed down, standing their ground in the aftermath of the contact.The

In the next instant, two sharp slaps echoed through the hall, leaving bright red handprints across Nevaeh's beautiful face and shattering both her smile and her smug expression.She pressed her hands to her cheek, staring in shock at the woman whose eyes burned with pure rage. "How dare you hit me?" Nevaeh screamed.For a split second, her face contorted with fury as she moved to retaliate, but then she noticed something behind Marisol. The vicious expression melted away instantly. Tears spilled from her eyes as she began sobbing dramatically."Lucian, she's completely unhinged! She just attacked me out of nowhere..."Lucian stepped forward and steadied the woman who collapsed into his arms. His brow furrowed as he looked at Marisol. His voice was clipped. "Explain."A crowd was already gathering around them. Seeing her daughter in tears, Darlene's face twisted with outrage as she swung her hand toward the emotionally numb Marisol."How dare you attack my daughter?"Lucian's e
