Semua Bab Divorcing Him After Welcoming My Sister: Bab 1 - Bab 10

All eyes were on Zachary Larson and me, but Zachary was looking at Julia Scott with eyes filled with pity. He didn't notice my pale face and trembling hands.As if she was unaware of the tension in the air, Julia took a sip out of her glass and said affectionately, "Come to think of it, Zachary used to have an awful temper. I was the one who turned him into the caring gentleman he is now—perfect for my beloved sister."She blinked teasingly. "Queenie, does he still try to sleep with you when you're on your period or insist that you wear the condom on for him with your mouth?"Zachary remained silent. He didn't object, so he must have agreed. He chuckled helplessly and pushed a plate of steak to Julia. "Eat well. Since you're going to be my sister-in-law, listen to me and take good care of your body."It was as if he was blind to how upset I was. The suffocating tension around us didn't let up with Zachary's words and actions.Julia's best friend, Layla Anderson, seemed oblivious

I leaned against the cold wall. My limbs felt cold as my tears fell onto the floor.Not only did he have Julia in his heart, but he even served the product of our hard work to her on a silver platter. I couldn't sleep all night, so my legs were unsteady when I walked out of the bedroom the next morning.Julia was already sitting in the dining room, drinking coffee. She looked up at me and smiled. Her fingers subtly traced along the base of her neck, where a shiny diamond necklace sat.My breathing hitched. I had seen that necklace before.Three years ago, Zachary saved up three months' worth of salary to buy a bracelet. That necklace belonged to the same set as the bracelet.Back then, he said with me in his arms, "Queenie, when we get rich, I'll buy the entire 'My One and Only' jewelry set for you."Caressing the pendant, Julia asked sweetly, "Queenie, do you think this necklace is pretty? Zach said this one's named 'My One and Only'. He said it's a welcome gift for me and ins

Zachary rushed out of the hospital and tried to call me. "The number you have dialed is currently unavailable…"The message he had sent me through WhatsApp failed to go through. He was stunned, his fingers feeling numb. He couldn't reach me on any other platform either. It was the first time he had been completely kicked out of my world.It tore a gaping hole in his heart. He had never felt so scared.He lost me. The realization stabbed into his heart like an icepick.The car was still filled with the sweet scent of Julia's perfume. As he sat in the driver's seat, memories he had forgotten flooded his head.When Julia broke up with him and went overseas, he drank himself into a stupor. I, who was a good friend of his back then, found him and said to him repeatedly, "Zachary, I'll stay with you."When his project failed and his team fell apart, I had given him all my savings and stayed up countless nights working alongside him.I didn't like pain. However, when he said he liked

Queenly Innovations' press conference was packed. I stood on the stage and briefly introduced our new product.The spotlight never left me. The people below the stage were either reporters or elites.During the question-and-answer session, the door suddenly slammed open. Zachary wore a wrinkled suit, his eyes bloodshot. He rushed past security and stumbled onto the stage.Shocked, the crowd aimed their cameras at him. He knelt before me and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Queenie, I'm sorry! I was wrong! What happened to our child and the company was all my fault! "Give me one more chance! I'm willing to make a public apology online. Please just give me one more chance!"The security guards rushed forward to hold him back, but he refused to release the microphone and continued to yell like a lunatic, "You're the one I love! It was just a momentary lapse of judgement!"…The video went viral that night. The hashtag for the incident, "#CEOOfLarsonGroupBegsForForgiveness", ranked fi

The night before Queenly Innovations hit the market, stress overwhelmed me. I was the last to leave the office. When I felt a familiar aching in my stomach, I finally remembered that I had forgotten to eat.When the elevator door opened, I saw that the lights in the lobby were still on, but no one was around. Caleb was leaning against the reception counter with an insulated bag beside his foot.Upon seeing me, he straightened up and frowned. "I knew you skipped lunch again. I'm just passing by. I brought stew."His tone was so casual that it sounded like he was talking about the weather. I was stunned. "Mr. Green, you—""It was convenient for me." He interrupted me and determinedly picked up the bag. "Eat it while it's still warm."We went to the break room. …The moment he opened the thermos, an appetizing scent filled the air.I could tell it wasn't takeout, but home-cooked. It had been left to simmer at the perfect temperature. When I took a sip, warmth filled my stomach.
