Semua Bab Reborn for Revenge: My Husband Is Mine: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Richard kept his eyes fixed on Sigourney, unabashedly flirting.Sigourney merely smiled without responding, yet Richard still wasn't finished-he added a few more nauseatingly sweet lines.Enough to make her skin crawl.Even Theodore, standing right beside Sigourney, furrowed his brows slightly.From what he recalled, Sigourney and Richard weren't exactly close-so why was Richard now wearing such a lovestruck expression as he looked at her?A man's instinct told him something was off.Fortunately, Richard eventually stopped with his foolish rambling and shifted to a more composed conversation with Theodore.During that time, Sigourney pretended to spot someone familiar across the room and seized the chance to slip away.She had no interest in listening to the empty drivel of that lunatic Richard.A "fateful encounter" while he was out shopping with his lover?Nonsense.Sigourney made her way over to the dessert table and picked out a few sweet pastries to nibble on. After spending the

Fortunately, Barrett was emotionally intelligent enough to keep the atmosphere light, allowing the conversation to proceed with relative ease. While he and Sigourney discussed the potential partnership and the current situation of their respective corporations, Richard had the decency to remain silent.He said nothing.The meal passed quickly, and all the while, Sigourney silently wished it would end even sooner.When Barrett, ever perceptive, picked up on her discomfort and offered a polite smile as he mentioned he had to leave for another engagement, she almost let out a sigh of relief.With a gentle tone, she told him there was no need for formality, then stood alongside Venus to see him out.However, the man who had accompanied him - Richard - not only showed no intention of leaving, but instead turned to Sigourney with a casual smile."Miss Nichols, do you have a moment? I want to speak with you privately."Just as Sigourney narrowed her eyes in irritation, ready to decline, he a

Savannah moved so swiftly that Sigourney didn't have time to react.Sigourney silently cursed, this wasn't good, holding her breath as she tried to negotiate."Wait, we can still talk this through."She was calculating her chances of staying safe if she resisted, while also trying to calm Savannah's frenzied emotions."I can help you reclaim your inheritance from the Nichols family."Savannah's grip on the knife loosened slightly, and Sigourney continued explaining."What happened to your position in the Nichols family really had nothing to do with me. The rumors about you seducing Theodore, they weren't spread by me."Sigourney tried to reason with her."Besides, that scandal affected me too. I'm not stupid enough to let a private family matter turn into a public love triangle scandal, am I?"Sigourney kept her tone soft, hoping to keep Savannah from doing anything reckless. But Savannah, already out of patience, cut her off."I don't care whether you did it or not. But how exactly a

The next morning,Aunt Miller arrived early with a nourishing breakfast for both of them.They ate in silence, without exchanging a single word,leaving even Miller somewhat stunned.Weren't their relationship supposed to be rather close lately?How did it turn into this?After breakfast, a doctor came in to change the dressing on Theodore's wound.Sigourney stayed beside him, and the moment she saw the deep gash on his body,her eyes suddenly turned red at the corners.Even though Theodore had always reassured her that it was nothing-just a minor injury, just superficial-the truth was clearly otherwise.A sudden urge to embrace him welled up inside her.And once the doctor left,Sigourney actually asked."Theodore, can I hug you?""Just once. If you're uncomfortable with it, then it's fine."She blinked, eyes fixed on his abdomen, unable to look away.Perhaps Theodore could sense the turbulent emotions stirring within her,because he gently replied with a soft "Okay,"then opened h

Sigourney didn't keep Theodore waiting for long.She quickly showered, applied a light touch of makeup,and descended the stairs in an elegant off-shoulder dress.The soft fabric of her gown fluttered lightly in the air, making her appear all the more graceful and delicate, just as captivating to Theodore as ever.By then, Theodore had also changed into a gray suit, the sharp cut further enhancing his composed and masculine appearance.He glanced at Sigourney, cleared his throat in feigned calm, and said,"Are you ready? Let's go."Sigourney nodded and followed him to the auction event.Naturally, the evening auction was attended by numerous billionaires and successful CEOs from both within the country and abroad.They mingled, exchanged words, assessed each other's corporate potential, and weighed the prospects of future collaborations.Sigourney was long accustomed to settings like these,so she stood gracefully beside Theodore, composed and poised, gently greeting the people they m
