Best Revenge: Don't Beg for Mercy, Ex-husband のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

Maya’s infectious smile chased away the lingering anger left by Gerald Storm’s phone call. Kiara sat up on the bed, staring at her in anticipation. “I won’t beat around the bush.” Maya laughed, her eyes glinting with mischief. “The first good news is that the scumbag, Mark Harrington, has met his karma so soon. Cora Reid has canceled their engagement, and photos of him making out with different kinds of women have been circulating online since last night.”Kiara blinked.Indeed, Mark’s karma came too soon. Anyway, the scumbag deserved it. “It’s only a matter of time before the RK Group cancels collaboration with HQ Enterprise. Remember the Old Master Reid dots on Cora. Although her mother was adopted, the old man won’t let this matter slide easily.”“Enough talk about those scumbags anyway,” Maya added, her lips curling up. “Can you guess what the second good news is, Kiara?”Kiara furrowed her brows.Honestly, she couldn’t guess anything right now. It was still early morning, and h

She knocked over tables, picked her bag from the floor, and scurried forward, her expression masked with anxiousness.She was literally a bag of nerves.The girl stopped in front of Kiara, taking a few seconds to catch her breath. “Good afternoon, Ms. Storm.”However, she suddenly trailed off, her eyes darting subconsciously to Maya, who had a slice of pizza hanging from her mouth.“M- Maya Stanton…” She stuttered, blinking rapidly. The girl looked as if she’d seen a ghost and was about to faint. In the next second, her loud scream tore through the air. “No way! It’s her! Maya Stanton! OMG!”Maya shut her eyes, her lips pouted as if she wanted to cry. She was probably regretting coming here today.“I am your number one fan, Maya!” The girl’s eyes danced with excitement. “You can’t believe it, but I just watched the drama ‘The Billionaire’s Miserable Maid’ last night! Your acting skills are top-notch! What a coincidence, you look exactly as you did in the movie’s first scene. I’ve got

Cancel?Stunned, Kiara couldn't process the man's words for a few seconds.Her heart sank, anxiety rising inside her chest. How could it be canceled all of a sudden?She thought Marcus liked the idea and even approved her proposal.Snapping out of her trance, Kiara finally reacted, struggling to keep calm. “May I know the reason why, Mr. Hale?”“I have pitched your idea to our sponsors,” Marcus explained. “At first, they all liked it. That was why I approved your proposal.”“However.” He frowned. “For unknown reasons, the sponsors suddenly called and backed out of this project. At least, ninety-nine percent of them. There's a single sponsor left, and that's the agency. Such a thing has never happened before.”Kiara was silent for a few seconds, digesting Marcus's words.Such a thing had never happened before, did it mean that…?No. She couldn't jump to conclusions yet. She might not know the actual reason why they'd backed out.“Mr. Hale.” Kiara took a deep breath. “If it's okay, may

Kiara paused.She didn't waste her energy to struggle to break free from the woman.She neither shouted back nor addressed Samantha’s degrading statements.Instead, a subtle smile tugged at her lips. She saved the voice recording and then lifted her phone and spoke into it, her voice clear and vocal.“Samantha Reid is currently harassing me in front of Happy Bites Cafe. Keep an eye on the time. If I don't come out in the next two minutes, publish the voice note I just forwarded to you on social media.”“You!” Samantha’s eyes widened for a split second, her hold loosening around her arm.Then her expression turned bitter, and she gave Kiara a deadly look, clearly speechless.If Kiara had mentioned the Cops, it wouldn't have bothered Samantha a bit, as the authorities would bow to them.However, every rich family was afraid of causing any scandal on social media.They valued reputation more than anything, and the people’s voices could decide the fate of their business stocks in a matter

Kiara’s eyes went to her phone.She spaced out, staring at it in a daze as the birthday song rang out with the melodious tiny voice belonging to a little girl.Her heart thudded, the lingering ache inside her heart surfacing.“Awwn, that's so cute!” Arya exclaimed, smiling brightly. “Is it your birthday, Ms. Storm?”Shaking her head, Kiara smiled sadly, deep emotions overwhelming her heart.She replied, “It’s my baby’s.”Kiara could recall the night her baby sang this song inside her phone. She thought Lily was just randomly playing with her phone as usual.Kiara didn't realize that she'd set it on her reminders list. She sang this song last year on her third birthday.Grief engulfed Kiara’s heart, and she balled her fingers, struggling to control her emotions.If this song hadn't played, would she have remembered that it was her baby’s birthday?How could she be so forgetful and inconsiderate? Being very busy shouldn't be an excuse.Kiara was supposed to remember no matter what.She
