บททั้งหมดของ Betrayed By Husband And Son: Rise Of A Billionaire Wife : บทที่ 201 - บทที่ 210

Adele~ "Since you've told Detroit to look for your child, then why bother so much? I'm sure he will take care of it." Sarah said with a deep breath. We've been on the detective mode for hours with no solid conclusion, and now, the whole thing didn't even feel so serious anymore. The severity of it has been watered down by the Almighty Sarah. And I couldn't thank her enough for lifting the heavy boulder in my chest. “So, what is it with you, CEO Leigh D. West, and Mia Harrington?” Emily asked. She looked calm but nothing about the way her eyes were wild and searching was calm. I've told them everything already but it seemed the shock was too big to process in one sitting. Emily was still grasping for some kind of loophole, some detail that would make the whole twisted story untrue. And Sarah, well, she was already used to fictional stories and didn't seem so shocked… Hell, she was! The way her eyes were round and sparkling. God, this girl's love for gossip outdo anything

Adele~A strange unease spread through me. My fingers dug into the edge of the desk. “And…?”Her lips trembled. “Caroline came to that hospital barehanded, but left with a child. When I asked my friend who was in charge of that ward, she told me Caroline took away Julia’s baby girl. But Julia…” she paused, her face tightening, “Julia gave birth to a boy.”The room tilted. I couldn’t breathe. My ears rang like I was underwater.She pressed on, her voice shaky. “I was one of the nurses who cleaned those children. Julia's child was a boy, and the other woman had a girl with silver eyes but the children were swapped and Julia ended up with the girl.”My heart slammed against my ribs. “Wait… wait. Are you saying—” My throat clenched. I couldn’t even say it out loud.She met my gaze, her eyes wet and haunted. “I thought there was a mistake somewhere, so I reported it to the head nurse. I wanted the truth written down. But the next week, I was called into the office and dismissed without war

Adele~ In just a blink of an eye, guns were fixed on our cars. “Turn around!” the same guy thundered. Lucy’s lips thinned, saying nothing. Maxwell glanced back at me. “Ma’am…?” It was obvious they wanted us to leave. But I refused. I was adamant on entering the estate. If my husband was in, he'd come out and pick me up. I began to unbuckle my seat belt, but before I could unlock the door, Lucy stopped me. “This is the West estate. It’s not a place anyone can just waltz into. This estate houses every acknowledged West. No matter who they are, if they don’t have an identification, they don’t cross that gate.” Lucy’s voice was low, steady, but I could hear the warning in it. The guns didn’t waver. More guards were pouring out from the checkpoint, their boots crunching against the gravel, their faces unreadable behind the steel of discipline. Maxwell’s hand hovered near the gear stick, torn between obeying orders and defying them. The air inside the car felt thick, suff

Adele~My fists clenched, but I forced them open at my sides. No. I wouldn’t let Mia’s words rattle me. If something had happened to Detroit, then it was my right to be here, to look after him, not hers. So, I refused to look small or frantic in front of her. Instead, I opted for the magnanimous legal wife vibes. “Really?” I said, my tone even, polite, carrying neither warmth nor hostility. “How thoughtful of you, Miss Harrington. I’m sure my husband will be grateful to see so much concern gathered under one roof. I'll remember your kindness.”Her smile faltered and her face paled. It was obvious she didn't expect me to speak, let alone be so sharp with my words. She probably thought I'd be rattled, insecure, and lost, thinking she'd won since my mother-in-law informed her, instead of me, of my husband's situation. What a clown. Hmph. “You…” she trailed off, looking shocked and speechless. I lifted a brow, daring her to be shameless. It was obvious she wasn't used to disrespect a

The last event unfortunately didn't pass, so let's try another. Don't forget, Madam Helena doesn't do anything without a reason. She may seem to like our Adele, but what if she has an ulterior motive? Surely, she knows that choosing Adele over Mia could make Mia and the Harringtons mad, forcing her to choose the Mercer heir, which, without a doubt would put the West family in a compromising situation, even forcing the crown off their head, so, discuss in the comments, why Madam Helena would make such a "foolish" move. Most liked comment: If right, would push this author to give you two bonus chapters, dedicated to the commenter. If wrong... there would be no bonus chapter. Hehehe.
