Semua Bab Opening My Eyes to Reality: Bab 701 - Bab 710

Shannon was furious. After all the years she'd worked her tail off, how could she be getting fired over something trivial?Besides, she didn't think it was her fault. It was the dumb Bethany who caused the trouble, so why was she the one getting fired?The more she dwelt on the idea, the more aggrieved she felt. So, she'd been staying outside Natalie's office and was determined to get an explanation.She began by saying, "Mr. Spencer brought Bethany over, and Bethany spilled hot chocolate over an important document. I merely pointed out how serious that was, and she started crying, so Mr. Spencer kicked me out without even hearing my side."Ms. Sutton, I've worked at RN Group for years. Even if he wants to fire me, it shouldn't be for this reason."Natalie didn't believe a word she said. "Are you telling the truth?"Under Natalie's icy gaze, Shannon grew nervous and lowered her eyes. "Ms. Sutton, I'm telling the truth…"Instead of responding immediately, Natalie locked her deep

As Natalie spoke, she glanced at a man holding her phone in the back seat, who immediately caught on and said, "I recorded everything! His hand kept sliding over you and wouldn't move even after you warned him."Wesley's face drained of color. His fingers trembled where he clutched his twisted wrist, and he mumbled, "I didn't mean it. It was… a misunderstanding."Natalie's stare remained locked on him and didn't waver in the slightest. "You now have two options. First, immediately apologize to me, then call the ground staff. After we land, we'll go to the police station and file a report so you don't get to walk away from responsibility."Second, keep causing a scene, and I'll send the recording and security footage to my lawyer right now. In addition to sexual harassment, your little stunt demanding 100 thousand dollars counts as attempted extortion."The murmurs around them shifted into accusations directed at Wesley. Someone urged, "Just apologize already! How could you harass s

Pamela's nails dug so deep into her palm her knuckles blanched, but her eyes churned with a chaotic mix of bloodshot emotions. They contained hatred and a love so overwhelming they threatened to spill over.Her voice trembled with years of suppressed emotion. "It was you. You're the reason for everything, Rowan. I only ever loved you, but why would you ruin me?"She'd never wanted the baby and repeatedly tried to end the pregnancy. But with Rowan's help, Howard had locked her away on a remote island.That wasn't the worst of it. Rowan had given Howard a drug that, as long as she consumed it, would make her body lose every ounce of its strength and leave her bedridden.Though the drug wasn't harmful to the baby, it was devastating to Pamela when she couldn't even kill herself. She spent over half a year in such a state until she finally gave birth to a daughter. That was only when Howard took her away from the island.Even so, he had guards watching her around the clock and never

Pamela's eyes were bloodshot as she glared at Howard and suddenly roared, "You forced me into this! I never wanted that baby, but you forced me to give birth to her!"Howard, you and Rowan are in this together. I hate him, and I hate you even more. If you think I'll fall in love and live happily ever after with you, you must be dreaming. "For that little bastard, I'll wring her neck to death if I ever get the chance."Howard's voice shot up sharply. "Don't you dare."She met his stare head-on. "Watch me."…After Landon loaded Natalie's suitcase into the car, he asked, "Natalie, did you miss Mr. Mattel?"She leaned against Rowan's shoulder and lazily replied, "Why? Do you have a problem with that?"Landon laughed. "Not at all. I'm your biggest supporter, so I only want the best for you two."Oh, and I was scrolling through reels earlier when I saw a viral video of some woman on a plane taking down a pervert. The outfit exactly matches yours, so was that really you?"Natalie

Natalie gave Rowan a light punch. Instead of pushing her away, Rowan pulled her closer. "I've made breakfast, babe. Eat it whenever you feel like getting up. I'll step out for a bit and try to make it back in time for lunch with you."Natalie offered, "Let me go with you."Rowan tensed slightly as a shadow of gloom flashed in his eyes. "No, that place isn't for you. Just stay home and wait. I'll come back as soon as I'm done."He moved to get up, but she grabbed him. "Rowan."When he looked back at her, he heard the sudden seriousness in her voice as she said, "I'm your wife. You're not alone."They held each other's gaze for a few seconds before he finally relented. "Alright. Let's go together."Today was the scheduled demolition of Ravenhold Tower in Velmont. Only Rowan knew how much effort he'd poured into getting approval to tear down a landmark structure.As Landon pulled the car to a stop, Rowan and Natalie remained sitting in the back seat. Rowan instantly lit up a ciga
