Billionaire’s Ex-Wife’s Revenge のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 81 - チャプター 90

Chapter 82 Lucas Brown ~•~ “Why did you have to bring it up?” I folded my arms as I stared at my mother. I know I couldn’t leave the house without addressing the issue. “You even talked about taking her to court, that was uncalled for.” My mother scoffed as she sat upright. “I can’t believe you spoke to me like that in front of Layla. You are the reason she dared disrespect me.” My jaw clenched. “I’m not the reason why Layla did anything. You caused everything by bringing up such a sensitive topic after I told you not to start any trouble.” She brushed off my concerns with a dismissive wave. “Oh please! I was just looking out for you.” She replied in a defensive tone. I rubbed my temple, letting out a frustrated sigh. “No, you are only making things worse for me. I didn’t complain about seeing the kids only during the holiday.” “Your father and I aren’t comfortable with seeing them only during the holidays.” She continued, her voice firm. “She even canceled lunc

Chapter 84 Layla Patel ~•~ TWO WEEKS LATER “Mama, can we go out and get ice cream?” Akira pleaded, offering me those puppy eyes she knew I couldn’t resist. “Please, Lily also wants ice cream.” Ever since Lily came back from the hospital, Akira had been using her sister as an excuse to manipulate me into giving her whatever she wanted. The truth was that I didn’t mind. Not after what happened. The memory of that night still haunted me. Lily was rushed to the hospital because she reacted to one of her medications. Luckily enough, it was mild and didn’t cause any serious damage to her body. But that situation made me move back to Lucas’s house. Leaving the girls alone there was a huge mistake. I blamed myself for what happened and vowed never to leave the girls again. I needed to be close, present, and available every hour of the day. No matter how strained my relationship with Lucas was, I needed to put the kids first. Now two weeks later, Lily has gotten

Chapter 86 Layla Patel ~•~ As we drove through the gate, my eyes were fixed on Lucas and his assistant who seemed to be engaged in a heated argument. Why was he arguing with his assistant? I couldn’t hear what they were saying but the sharp movement of his hands said enough. “Who was that at the gate?” Akira asked as I parked the car in the garage. “Why was Daddy yelling at her?” “She’s his assistant at work. Maybe she did something wrong.” I replied as I ushered them out of the car. As we all walked to the front door, I thought of going there to see what was happening. I wanted to make sure it had nothing to do with my plans. But I decided to let it be. I didn’t want to seem suspicious. As soon as we stepped into the foyer, Lucas walked right after us. “I thought you were outside arguing with your assistant,” I said as I turned to look at him. He brushed off my concerns with a dismissive smile. “It’s nothing. It’s just about work.” He responded wit

Chapter 88 Lucas Brown ~•~ Sex toys? How was that even possible? For a moment, I thought I was hallucinating. There was no way those items were part of the gift bags. I stood up from the chair immediately and stopped the staff from giving out the gift bags. I was still trying to process what was happening. Where was the event planner and who was trying to sabotage the party? People were already whispering and laughing about the situation. It wouldn’t take long before the blogs would broadcast the news. Whoever was behind it wanted to ruin my reputation, and best believe, the person would pay dearly. How did they expect my clients to feel after giving them sex toys? What would they think about me? I clenched my fists as I looked for the event planner again. Still missing. Her phone was still going straight to voicemail. Who put her up to something like that? She always stayed until the end of the party to make sure everything went smoothly, but this tim

Chapter 90 Lucas Brown ~•~ Layla was the last person I expected to pull someone like that. I thought we were finally in a good place. But I guess I was wrong. Why did she even do something like that to me? Was it because of our kiss? Did she do it as payback or what? And I went ahead to blame Becky for something she didn’t know about. It was a good thing I reached out to the manufacturers of the toys. I called in a few favors and spent a large chunk of money before I was able to get the information I needed. At first, I didn’t want to believe that it was Layla who ordered those toys and sabotaged the party. But after seeing all the evidence that led everything back to her, I had no choice. I had imagined a thousand things I would do to the culprit earlier, but after finding out it was Layla, I couldn’t even think of anything to do with her. What could I possibly do? Layla knew exactly what she was doing. She knew that she had me wrapped around her fingers, t
