All Chapters of The Ex-Wife You Tossed, Now a Billionaire’s Queen: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

After hanging up, the car fell into silence.Sebastian glanced at her. “If you don’t want to go home right now, I can help.”“You’re joking, Mr. Reed? Even if I don’t go back now, I’ll have to sooner or later.”His cold stare made Evelyn rush to change her tone. “I mean, even if it’s about filing for divorce, I still have to face him, right?”“So how are you planning to explain what happened today?”“Didn’t you already give them an explanation?”One of Sebastian’s brows arched slightly. In a calm voice, he said, “How many people do you think will actually buy that story? Delivering a business proposal in a bar, just happening to fall into someone’s arms, and then just happening to be photographed at the perfect angle? What are the odds of that? Anyone with half a brain will figure it out.”The reporters hadn’t left Reed Group because they believed him. They left because none of them dared challenge Sebastian Reed. In Boston, his words could turn black into white. Evelyn, however, didn

Inside the car, Daniel tried to reassure her. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Sinclair. Mr. Reed will take care of everything.”Evelyn didn’t answer. Her eyes were fixed on the heavy iron gates of the Callahan estate. How could she have ever fallen in love with Lucas, a man who now looked so weak, selfish, and powerless in front of Sebastian?A few moments later, Sebastian slid into the car. “Drive.”“Yes, Mr. Reed.”The black sedan pulled out of the affluent Boston neighborhood. The road ahead stretched endlessly, though the journey had just begun.Evelyn turned to him. “What did you say to them back there?”“I told them the contract between Reed Group and the Callahans only recognizes one person in charge,” Sebastian replied flatly.She went quiet for a moment before suddenly letting out a short laugh.His brow furrowed. “What’s so funny?”“They think I cheated on Lucas, don’t they? And that all it takes is one project to fix everything? Do you think I can just be bought and sold like that? To p

Chloe felt deeply satisfied. For a while, she’d been worried she wouldn’t find a legitimate way to climb the ladder, but now that Evelyn’s reputation was in ruins, everyone could only sympathize with Lucas. If she married him someday, no one would dare oppose her.“Evelyn, admitting a mistake is a sign of grace. Lucas isn’t even mad at you, so why not just confess? Why drag it into a scandal this big?” Chloe said sweetly.Evelyn clenched her fists and glared at her. “Since when do you get to speak here?”Chloe flinched, frightened. Lucas immediately stepped in to shield her. “Evelyn, if you’re going to throw a tantrum, do it at home. Don’t take it out on Chloe in the office. You really can’t handle a little humiliation?”“You weren’t afraid to cheat, so why should I be afraid of being humiliated?”“What the hell are you talking about?” Lucas’s face went pale. Chloe, standing behind him, gasped.Evelyn drew in a long breath and pulled out her phone. She set it down on the table and tap

“Lucas, don’t be soft. If the company loses half its assets because of her, we’re finished,” Chloe snapped.Evelyn glared at them. “What do you really want from me?”“It’s simple,” Chloe said, pulling a document out of her bag. “Sign this statement. It says you give up every share of Callahan. Once you sign, Lucas and I will let you go. Right, Lucas?”Lucas let out a long sigh, his voice almost soothing. “Evelyn, we’ve been married for three years. We don’t have to destroy each other like this. I’m doing this for your own good. You’ll never win in court. But if you drop the case and sign, I’ll give you part of my assets. Enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life.”Evelyn let out a dry laugh, more bitter than angry. “So I should be thanking you?”“Don’t be stubborn, Evelyn. This is the best deal you’ll ever get.”Chloe stepped closer, thrusting the papers into her hand. “Just sign it.”Evelyn stared at the document. She knew she was trapped, cornered by the cruel pai

Evelyn’s face changed instantly, her eyes widening in shock.“At your house?” she whispered.She hadn’t even had the chance to ask why Sebastian had brought her here instead of the hospital when he was already striding into the villa. His voice was firm as he addressed someone inside.“Is Silas here?”“Doctor Silas arrived ten minutes ago. He’s waiting in the living room,” a servant replied.Evelyn still stood frozen in the doorway until a maid beside her gently reminded her,“Miss Evelyn, it’s freezing out here. Please come inside, Doctor Silas is waiting.”Only then did she snap out of her daze. She steadied her breathing and followed the maid inside, her eyes sweeping over the villa. The grand baroque-style mansion towering in front of her was one of the ten most famous estates in Boston. Thanks to Sebastian, she was seeing it with her own eyes.The maid led her into the living room.“Silas.” Sebastian’s voice echoed coldly in the wide space.A man turned from the glass display cas
