Semua Bab After Divorce: She Got Rich, She Got Wild, She Got Everything: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Ben’s accusation hit Lily like a thunderbolt. Terrified, she lunged forward and snatched the folder from Ethan’s hands.Her face went pale as paper the moment she saw the listed accusations. “No, I didn’t, Mr. Mitchell. It wasn’t me—I really didn’t do it. I would never do something like that.”Lily had never been this panicked before.Ethan had already grown suspicious after hearing yesterday’s recording. If he believed what was written in that file, then everything she had worked toward for the past two years would be ruined.No—she couldn’t panic now.Ethan looked at her, his expression unreadable. Her face was ashen.“You also said those words weren’t yours yesterday,” he said coldly.If not for Lana’s recording, things might still have been salvageable. But now there was that—and this.Ben’s folder laid it all out in black and white.Ethan wanted to believe her, but the evidence was overwhelming.Lily caught the disappointment flickering in his eyes. Regaining her composu

Ethan didn't answer immediately. Instead, he walked to Lana's side, untied the ropes binding her, and gently rubbed her reddened wrists before slowly speaking. "Since you're here, when she wakes up, just say you're sorry."As expected. Good thing she hadn't held any illusions. "What if I refuse?""It's a matter of life and death..." Ethan glanced at the still-unconscious Lily, adding silently to himself that he couldn't afford to offend the Walsh family.Lana shook off his hand. "Did I cause her to end up like this?""Whether you did or not, in her view, you conspired with Mr. Klein to get her fired from the company, which drove her to this desperate act..." Margaret, satisfied with Ethan's approach, chimed in from the side. "Just do what you're told without all the back talk!""She didn't die. If she had, would you expect me to pay with my life too?" As she said this, Lana stared steadily at Ethan.Ethan frowned, speaking as if it were obvious. "Just consider it as doing it fo

”Ethan…”Just as Ethan was about to open the divorce agreement, Margaret rushed in frantically. Reaching the bedside, she immediately embraced him without a word, her voice trembling with lingering fear. "How did you get in a car accident so early in the morning? You nearly scared me to death!"Ethan quickly stuffed the agreement back into Lana's bag.His mother was already dissatisfied with Lana not getting pregnant in the past six months. If she knew Lana was planning to go out and do business, she'd probably be even more upset.After putting it back, he gently pushed Margaret away a bit. "How did you find out?"He hadn't asked the doctor to contact his mother. How had she arrived so quickly?Margaret pointed to Helen, who had followed her in. "What a coincidence. I was having morning tea with Helen when halfway through, Charles called her saying he saw you at the hospital. Why didn't you call me first after such a serious incident?"Helen, who had followed Margaret, also scol

"Be good, listen to me..." Ethan coaxed her gently. "You're your parents' only daughter. If something happens to you, I won't be able to explain it to them, especially since I still haven't figured out who's targeting me."Lily could naturally hear the underlying meaning in Ethan's words.Her eyes flickered quickly as she continued along his line of thought, "Although my dad is still angry with me, he wouldn't really abandon me. So don't worry, Ethan. I'll go home in the next couple of days and ask my dad to help us figure out who's pulling strings behind the scenes."This was exactly what Ethan wanted to hear, so he didn't stand on ceremony with Lily. "That would trouble your father then.""What trouble? Although our relationship is a bit... unconventional, I believe my dad will understand me..." Lily deliberately said, "Like you said, I'm his only daughter, and you're the person I care about, so naturally he cares about you too!"Lily was the kind of woman who could bring real a

Since face-to-face conversation hadn't worked, Lana decided to send him a text message to make things clear.There was no response for a long time.She didn't know how he was feeling, but since she'd said what needed to be said, he'd have to process it himself.Over the next few days, Lana avoided appearing in front of Lucas.Of course, she genuinely didn't have time. There was so much to handle, and she needed to make occasional appearances around Ethan to maintain her act.After all, if you're going to put on a show, you have to commit to it.This period did satisfy Ethan's vanity about juggling two women, though. Behind Lana's back, he'd arranged for Lily to be transferred to the room next to his.Lana didn't care—in fact, she welcomed their affair. With Lily around, Ethan would be distracted, making it easier for her to work behind the scenes.However, she couldn't escape Lily's deliberate attempts to assert her presence.First, Lily bribed the nurses to gossip about her r
