All Chapters of SCORNED EX WIFE : Queen Of Ashes: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Chapter 121Rose hurled the crystal glass across the penthouse. It shattered against the wall in a spray of liquid and glittering shards. On the television screen, Camille and Alexander stood side by side at their press conference, hands joined, faces composed, turning what should have been their greatest humiliation into a triumph."How?" Rose screamed at the screen. "How is this happening?"She grabbed the remote, increasing the volume to hear her sister's voice, calm, dignified, unashamed: *"Yes, Alexander Pierce and I are in a relationship. It began recently, but it is genuine and important to both of us."*Genuine. Important. The words burned in Rose's ears like acid. This was not how it was supposed to go. Camille should have been destroyed by this exposure, her reputation in tatters, her position at Kane Industries compromised. Instead, she stood there with perfect poise, Alexander at her side, accepting no blame, showing no weakness.Rose grabbed another glass, ready to send i

Chapter 123Herod stared at the monitors, his knuckles white as he gripped the edge of his desk. The data scrolling across the screens made no sense. According to every parameter, the Phoenix Grid should be showing signs of stress by now. The modified circuits James Walsh had installed were designed to create power fluctuations after seventy-two hours. That deadline had passed yesterday.Yet the Grid ran perfectly.He pulled up news footage of Victoria Kane's press conference from that morning, where she proudly announced the successful activation of the Grid's third section. Her silver hair gleamed under the lights as she promised New York "the most reliable power system in the world." The reporters applauded. The stock climbed higher.Something was very wrong."Damn it," he muttered, slamming his palm against the desk. The coffee cup beside his keyboard jumped, spilling dark liquid across his papers.Behind him, the penthouse door opened. Rose entered, carrying shopping bags from ex

Chapter 125Hannah Zhao stared at her computer screen, the blue light reflecting off her glasses as she analyzed access logs to the Phoenix Grid's secure database."I found it," she said as Camille approached with coffee. "The leak in our team."Camille set down the cups, suddenly alert. "Show me."Hannah displayed a series of highlighted entries. "Someone's been accessing our secure servers between 2:00 and 3:00 AM three times weekly. Always the same nights, always looking at Grid specifications, safety protocols, activation sequences.""Do you know who?" Camille asked, leaning closer.Hannah nodded grimly. "I installed a silent tracker last week." She opened another window showing screenshots. "It's Walsh.""The maintenance technician who installed the modified circuits?" Camille's eyes narrowed."The same. We were watching his physical access, but overlooked his digital footprint." Hannah pulled up financial records. "He's still receiving payments from an offshore account.""Rose,"

Chapter 127Rose stared at the photos spread across the marble countertop of Herod's penthouse kitchen. Grainy images captured through a long-distance lens, yet clear enough to show what mattered. Camille and Alexander outside Boston Memorial Hospital. His hand holding something small. Her visible shock. Their embrace. And most damning of all, her hand afterward, a distinctive ring glinting on her finger."She's engaged," Rose whispered, the words burning her throat like acid. "He proposed and she said yes."She'd sent one of their hired men to follow Camille that afternoon, a precaution after Walsh had provided them with the misleading Grid information. She hadn't expected this."Are you certain?" Herod asked, examining the photos over her shoulder. "The quality isn't great."Rose's fingernail stabbed at the clearest image. "Look at her finger. That's an engagement ring."Herod squinted. "Could be any ring.""It's not just any ring." Rose's voice sharpened. "I know what an engagement

Chapter 129Herod stared at his computer screen, forehead creased with confusion. The data from Walsh's latest information drop sat before him, schematics of the Phoenix Grid's western junction, maintenance logs, security protocols, power flow diagrams. Everything they would need to exploit the supposed vulnerability during the launch ceremony.It looked perfect. Too perfect.He zoomed in on a section of the access codes, his suspicion growing with each passing second. He had spent decades in the technology sector before turning his attention to Victoria Kane. He knew systems architecture like others knew their childhood homes. And something about these files felt wrong."What's the matter?" Rose asked, entering his home office with a cup of coffee. Her movements were jagged, tense, like a loaded spring ready to snap. Her obsession with Camille's engagement had only worsened over the past two days."I'm not sure yet," Herod murmured, not looking up from the screen. He pulled up anothe
