All Chapters of Winning My Ex Wife: Chapter 181 - Chapter 187

Edward’s povThe meeting commenced with the board members talking about GALA and a lot of things, but I wasn’t paying attention. I kept my head on the restraining order that Charlotte had sent through the lawyer. I looked at the restraining order by her side as I got up from my feet, with everybody turning to me.I shook my head. “I just need some time to breathe,” I said.I walked around the table and went to where Eloise was sitting as I picked up the restraining order and walked out. Eloise shot out and followed me.“What are you doing, Edward? This is wrong. You need to give that to me right now.”I turned to her. “No.”Before I could say anything further, someone came up to me. “Sir, your fiancée, Miss Charlotte, is in your office.”Eloise turned to me. “Fiancée?”I shook my head. “That’s what she’s calling herself nowadays. She’s not my fiancée.”She gave a small nod. I turned to the man. “I’ll be right there with her.”He left as I turned to Eloise. “Don’t sign this. I’m going

Eloise’s povThat evening, the gala was already buzzing, and this was before the official start. I smiled as I looked at the lights that were glittering against the chandeliers, and the glasses clinked about as the waiters dropped them on each table. I could hear the faint hum of the violins coming from the stage as the band was trying to tune up their instruments.I moved between the tables. I would fix things here, little things here, send people around so that they would make sure everywhere was perfect. I looked at the napkin that was folded wrong as I folded it well myself. Everything had to be exactly how I planned it to be. I was the VP and the head chef. I needed everything to be how I wanted it to be.Selena was in the staff room with her coloring books. She was already dressed up, but I doubted she would want to be in the grown-up parties anyway. I had checked twice to make sure that she had enough snacks and juice, and Sandra was peeking in every now and then to make sure t

Charlotte’s povI parked my car and got out of the vehicle with a stretch. Then I looked to the abandoned warehouse. With a sigh, I walked towards it. It was filled with rust and dust, but I didn’t care. I had business to take care of. Inside, I found a man that made me smile. “Vincent Bassett,” I said with a smile. He was Edward’s uncle… the man most of the family members whispered about but no one dared to talk about. He sat in a chair, smoking, while his silver hair was gleaming under the bulb. He looked at me. “You’re late,” he said in a rough voice.I ignored his words as I moved to him. I had to make sure Edward saw me leave so that no one would blame me for the accident. He laughed. “People will blame you. You left as soon as she was kidnapped, so that’s on you.”I gave a little chuckle. “Look, the gala was a circus, and Eloise … well, let’s just say she’s broken right now.”“That woman has been a thorn in your side since the beginning, but I guess tonight we can put her e

Edward’s povHe showed pictures of Charlotte and the different men she had been with. He showed the fake pregnancy test that she had forged. He showed the bank transfers for Vincent, the offshore accounts, the false invoices, and the years of embezzlement tied to both of them. He showed Charlotte’s fraudulent documents linking her to her shady overseas deals.My lawyer looked at me.“I’m not going to lie, I’ve never seen so many evidence. Even if the judge was bribed, he would never agree to this. Millions laundered, stolen. This is madness.”I smiled as my lawyer got to his feet.“Your Honour, I’m not going to lie, but these two aren’t fit to raise a child. Charlotte and Vincent… they are not fit for anything. The only one fit is a couple I know, Eloise and Edward. Those other two… they should not be allowed to walk free with all they’ve done.”Cameras clicked as reporters started to scribble down like mad. Vincent’s face was drained and Charlotte’s face was pale.“This is a setup!”
