All Chapters of Love, Law, and Remarrying: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Sheryl pursed her lips. Her gaze dimmed, and she seemed indifferent.It was fine. Let her sell it.Actually, it might even be better this way.Once she reclaimed the villa at Serenity Estates, and got back the three hundred thousand Vivian had borrowed, what would Vivian's situation be like then?Would she be flat broke and utterly down and out?Sheryl was actually kind of looking forward to it.-She rested at home for two days. During that time, Brandon barely left her side. He cooked for her, washed and dried her hair, and tended to her with the utmost care and patience.Even Melinda praised him repeatedly.Brandon had always cared deeply for her. Over the years, she'd never once felt neglected. It didn't happen while they dated or after they got married. He'd always given her a strong sense of security.Maybe his love was real, but so was his betrayal.That was why Sheryl couldn't figure him out.She finally understood what it meant when people said love was fickle.No

Sheryl froze. Her fingers felt stiff and cold.This restaurant might be close to the art museum, but Brandon's construction firm was a good forty to fifty minutes away. They really didn't waste a single opportunity to squeeze in a date.The rim of her cup hid the sneer forming at the corner of her lips.Just how thick-skinned did he have to be to bring her to the same place he had just gone on a date with Vivian?"Sheryl, what do you want to eat?" Brandon handed her the menu.Sheryl pushed it right back. "Anything's fine. You decide."Brandon knew she never liked ordering food, so he didn't insist. He chose three dishes and a soup—all things she usually liked.But the thought of him sitting in this very spot with Vivian yesterday, eating intimately together, completely killed her appetite. In fact, it made her a little sick.Still, not wanting to raise suspicion, she forced herself to take a few bites.When she put her fork and spoon down, Brandon frowned. "You're done alread

Sheryl paused for a moment, her heart skipping a beat. "No, they didn't. Did you manage to track the number?""No. Nothing came up.""How is that possible?""I thought it was strange too. I even asked a friend who's good with tech stuff to look into it. Still no luck. That number doesn't seem to exist at all. Maybe you wrote it down wrong?""I doubt it. I double-checked after I wrote it down."She had a rough guess now. Last night, the private investigator must have pretended to be a food delivery guy. The earlier call from Brandon had just been a test, to see if she was still as concerned about him as always, and when she was, his suspicion shifted back to the number's owner."Alright, forget it if you can't find anything.""Mm.""Well, you should get up and have breakfast. I've got a meeting on my end. Talk later.""Okay."After hanging up, Sheryl let out a long sigh. She tossed off the covers, took a shower, changed the bedding, and went downstairs for breakfast.-Today

Sheryl stopped moving. After all that buildup, they were finally getting to the point. She knew it. Elaine wouldn't have asked her to come for no reason.Sheryl turned to her, feigning confusion. "Mm, I guess you could say I know him. We had a meal together once.""How did you meet him?""It was just a coincidence. I accidentally rear-ended his car last month. He didn't take any money from me, so I offered to buy him dinner. Back then, I didn't really know who he was. I only found out afterward."Elaine's gaze shimmered faintly as she studied Sheryl for a long moment, as if weighing the truth of her words.Sheryl let her look. The story was obviously made up, but since Elaine was still testing her, that meant she hadn't actually found anything solid yet.If she had, she wouldn't be asking questions like these."Was it serious? No one got hurt, right?" Elaine's tone was full of concern. "Why didn't you mention something so major before?""It wasn't a big deal, really. His headli

Sheryl grabbed a random outfit from the closet and quickly got changed. Then, she pulled out a compact and lipstick from her purse and touched up her makeup with the mirror.About a minute later, someone knocked on the door. Elaine's voice came from outside. "Sheryl, are you done changing?"Sheryl let out a long exhale as she looked into the mirror.She had to admit. Her nerves just weren't on the same level as Elaine's and Brandon's. Those two could act like it was second nature. They were totally at ease, unlike her, who always got nervous. Right now, her hands were still shaking.She took a moment to steady her racing heart and trembling fingers, then walked over and opened the door with a smile. "All done."Elaine saw the lipstick in her hand and asked, "Touching up your makeup?""Already finished," Sheryl replied, capping the lipstick. Then she noticed the red mark on Elaine's cheek. Shocked, she reached up to touch it. "Mother, what happened to your face? Did Gloria hit you
