《Ex-Husband, Beg Me!》全部章節：第 111 章 - 第 120 章

“Clarissa…” her name slipped out of his mouth before he could control it. Clarissa stood between Scarlet and her son, totally ignoring him. Her dark smoky eyes remained laced on Scarlet. “Mrs whomever you are, you owe my son an apology.” Her voice, so calm but demanding. Scarlet’s eyes widened, almost not believing what she’d heard. She couldn’t believe she was seeing Clarissa…Didn’t Lilith do a clean job? Why was she back?? And that too….with a son??“You—“ she couldn’t even form a complete sentence. Her skin burned under Clarissa’s intense gaze. It was as if death had reshaped her into this maniacal woman with a gaze that could cause one to stammer. “We’re waiting..” she added, not breaking her sight away from Scarlet.Lucas stepped in. “Clarissa…”“It’s Miss Rhodes, for you.” She finally turned to spare him a single lazy look. “Mister.” She sounded so distant, startling Lucas. “Miss Rhodes? How did…” “Why? You want to tell me what my name is now?” Her sarcasm rolled out swi

"You've said that a hundred thousand times now." Clarissa laughed, blinking back her tears as she inclined her head to look at Lorraine who had fallen asleep in the backseat. Edward laughed along with her. "As long as you understand why you do not need to work. Even if you crash the company, it won't stop us from loving you alright." Clarissa hummed in understanding but made a mental note not to crash the company. She would put in the effort to help her father's business and avoid loss.Just like that, they arrived at the Rhodes mansion that was made of glass and rocks. It was a modern mansion with a beautiful view, standing in the middle of a vast land. The Rhodeses happened to be on the top ten list of wealthy families in Manhattan. Not as wealthy as the Reeds but they could be in comparison. "We're here," Edward growled. "Never driving again. Till further notice.""It wasn't so bad you know."Edward scoffed as he stepped out of the car. "If it weren't for the fact that you for

A pin drop silence covered the conference room, no one spoke a word after the last speech from the chairman of RD Ent Corp. Mr Rhodes's gaze swept across the faces of his board members, then he added. "So, therefore, she would be resuming office today." Mumbles followed, some whispered amongst themselves while others just gave scrutinizing gazes at Clarissa as if debating whether she was fit to be CEO or not.Clarissa didn't flinch, instead, with a bold smile, she said. "It's nice meeting all of you. I hope we get to work together to take the company to the next level in a peaceful and professional environment. Thank you." Once she finished her speech, her father gestured for her to take the seat of CEO. No one spoke as she slid into the head chair, overlooking the others. She could feel the gazes on her, the looks that crossed their faces were expected but still, unexpected. Sitting there, she could feel the weight of the position pressing down on her. And then, there was his ga

The lie burned her throat but she didn’t take it back.He stared at her like she slapped him. Then he laughed bitterly. "Wow. That easy, huh?"Clarissa clutched the file tighter to her chest. "I think this meeting is done, Mr Reed."She turned to leave but before she reached the door, he moved fast and blocked her path.Lucas slammed his hand against the door just above her head, trapping her. She froze, her back pressed against the wall."Let me go," she whispered."Say it again," he said."What?""Call me Mr Reed again. I dare you."She turned her face to the side, avoiding his eyes. "Move.""No.""Lucas—""You said we didn't mean anything," he murmured, voice suddenly low. "Then tell me why you still flinch when I get close. Why are your hands shaking? Why can't you even look me in the eye?""I said let me go.""You didn't move on," he said. "You just ran and I wanna know why."She met his eyes then, willing herself not to break down. "You wouldn't understand even if I told you.""

Clarissa sucked in a deep breath as flashes of memories stumbled into her mind, her eyes drifting around the condo. This place was once her home. A home Lucas has provided but still became the place she met her end. She barely had time to admire the interior when a sharp voice cut through the silence. “Well, well, well… Look who has shown up.”Clarissa's eyes shifted toward the staircase. Scarlet descended slowly with measured steps, her lips curved in a triumphant smile. She wore a silk robe that was barely tied with a matching satin underneath.Clarissa stood still with a straight posture while gently holding her clutch and some files.Scarlet’s feets padded softly on the floor as she crossed into the living room, standing a few feet from Clarissa. “I must say, Clarissa,” she began, “you’re brave… showing up here alone especially after our previous encounter at the school.”Clarissa gave her a tight smile. “Good evening, Mrs Reed.” She had just clocked off work and came to Lucas’s
