Semua Bab She Asked For A Divorce, He Panicked: Bab 1 - Bab 10

The whole night gone by, but Lacy and Ian didn’t come back. Remi slept in peace for the first time ever. She talked to the HR of Web Group that she was going to take a day off the next day. Without the typical rush to make breakfast or get Ian to school, she finally got a respite and some time to herself. Her phone started to vibrate on the nightstand all of a sudden. Lacy’s name appeared on the screen. Remi pressed the answer button, and his voice came through, full of energy. "Right now, come to the hospital." "Why?” She asked. "Listen, you are the reason Bernice tried to kill herself. Don't you think you should come?” Lacy’s voice was full with hatred. "Remi, stop acting like I did anything wrong to you. You owe the Green. If you hadn’t told the debt collectors about Nathaniel’s whereabouts, Bernice wouldn’t have been suffering like this.”He hung up after that. Remi thought about it for a second, then hurriedly got ready and left, holding on to the

The taxi slowed to a stop, and Remi’s heart clenched the moment she looked out the window. There it was — the old house she never thought she’d never return to. The same house her late grandmother had left her before her death, insisting it would one day mean more than Remi could imagine. Back then, she’d thought it was just a sentimental gift — a relic of a past she was too eager to escape. She had moved on, fallen in love, built a life with Lacy, and believed she’d never have to look back. But now, standing at the gate with her suitcase in hand and her heart in pieces, the quiet creak of the wind through the trees felt like her grandmother whispering, “I told you so.” The air carried the faint scent of lilacs from the garden — her grandmother’s favorite. It wrapped around her like an embrace, tender and familiar. For the first time in years, Remi felt something close to peace. Maybe her grandmother had known all along that one day, when the world turned its back on her

A headline shot to the top of the trending list hours later. [Remi Puth, the Web Group's business development manager, is in a scandal about financial crime]The Web Group was trending for all the wrong reasons in only one afternoon. Mason’s stomach was in knots as he watched the narrative go from bad to worse. His phone was ringing off the hook with calls from different companies. He ran inside Lacy’s office like his butt was on fire. Lacy hardly looked up from the files in front of him, and his voice was calm. "What's got you all worked up? Is Remi still in jail, or did she find a means to get out?”Mason pushed his phone into Lacy’s face. "Ms. Puth's arrest is all over the news! Now everyone is doubting every project she ever worked on.”Lacy scowled, which was an obvious sign that he was upset. "What's Remi up to? Is she attempting to get back at us?”Mason shook his head. "Mr. Web, the police got her. The police are probably still questioning her. She can't plan this kind of thi

Lacy went completely crazy and choked Remi while getting in her face. "Are you done with this? You gave up custody, but now you're making your own baby suffer? The same kid you raised. You are accusing Ian of this?” Remi clapped back with no emotion. "And so? He still calls your mistress "Mom" and begs her to be his mom.” She took a deep breath and spoke in a calm voice. "I've been quiet to protect your family's good name. But if you want to play hardball, don’t seem shocked when I start talking about all your dirty laundry.”“You really want to blow everything up, huh? Are you ready to set fire to everything?” Lacy asked, his voice full of poison. “No, to be more exact, it's about cutting the cord clean. Put everything on blast already. It would still be a huge disaster if I continued at Web Group. Let me go for both of us.” She smiled a little as she looked into his cold eyes. "Thanks for this perfect exit plan from your company, by the way." Lacy got angry. "Don't try to blame th

It was midnight on the 15th on the screen. Ian pushed the door of Remi’s room and left with her phone while she was asleep on the bed, unaware.Ian pushed the call button on his Apple smartwatch. His voice was quiet but excited. "Ms. Green, I’ve taken mommy’s phone now. What's next? I should approve the transaction right? All right! Will you stay with me every day after I do this? Okay!" Remi couldn't hear Bernice’s side, but she could tell that she was helping Ian through it step by step. The camera saw Ian access that payment app by tapping on it. He pushed that "accept" button, and the time stamp matched the transfer records flawlessly. The place got quiet when that five-minute clip ended. Lacy seemed really confused. "Why did you get my son to run this scheme?" Bernice put her hands over her face and cried as she tried to find the right words. Ian came to Bernice like he was her protector. "I thought of it! Ms. Don't blame her, Dad! Mom is the true serpent. She knew Ms. Green w
