《Best Revenge: Don't Beg for Mercy, Ex-husband》全部章節：第 71 章 - 第 80 章

The next event was the Bridal Shower.Since it would happen in the morning, Kiara arrived early for supervision, overseeing every setup, and coordinating staff and vendors to ensure the event unfolded flawlessly from start to finish.The bridal shower was going to take place in a private garden courtyard, transformed into a paradise of blooms and soft elegance.White canopies draped between ivy-covered walls, and the morning light filtered through crystal chandeliers.The air carried the gentle fragrance of jasmine and vanilla, mingling with the sound of a live harpist playing in the corner.Guests arrived in chic pastel dresses, and wide-brimmed hats. They were entertained by the servers with glasses of rosé and trays of delicate pastries. At the center of it all, the bride-to-be glowed with happiness, surrounded by her friends.All the guests were ladies from the socialite circle, mostly Cora’s friends, and Kiara knew better than to approach them. She supervised everything from a d

All eyes turned to Kiara, and she was suddenly the center of attention.Kiara maintained calmness, meeting Cora’s sharp gaze with a gentle one. Folding her hands, she asked with a faint smile. “Ms. Reid, how may I help you?”Cora’s eyes shifted. She hesitated for a moment as if looking for what to say. And then she lifted her chin, putting on a haughty look. “Bring those heels over here!”Cora pointed at the high heels sitting inside their box. Normally, the stylist was supposed to do that and help her wear the heels. But Kiara didn’t refuse.Everyone watched her eagerly, anticipating a reaction from her, including Cora. Kiara wasn’t going to satisfy them. She gave them no reaction at all, and walked over then brought the heels to Cora, placing them beside her.Cora’s expression darkened.She glanced from the heels to Kiara, a momentary surprise flashing in her eyes. After all, she’d wanted to demean her, but Kiara looked unbothered. “You’re no longer needed here,” She grumbled. “J

The fifth event was the Rehearsal Dinner.It was held in an exclusive fine-dining restaurant reserved entirely for the families of the bride and the groom. The space was elegant but warm, with soft lighting, polished wood tables, and gold-accented place settings.A private Chef prepared a five-course meal, each dish served with precision and paired with rare wines. Kiara stayed discreetly in the background. Fortunately, she didn’t have to have any contact with any of the guests or the bride and groom. Kiara’s work was mostly in the kitchen, coordinating timing with the kitchen staff, ensuring service flowed smoothly.“This is so delicious!” Arya exclaimed, digging into the dishes spread in front of her. “Ms. Storm, can we only take up luxury events projects from now on? We can always get to eat these delicious meals.”Arya was lost in the enjoyment, obviously having forgotten her advice to Kiara yesterday about stopping coming.Kiara laughed softly. “Do not eat too much. Remember,

Kiara was just planning to do that.However,Killian had no right to command her on what to do.After his words, her rage intensified. “Whether I come here or not doesn’t concern you. What made you think that you can give me orders?”His eyes darkened.Killian stepped forward as if to intimidate her with his towering presence. Kiara didn’t budge.Folding her hands, she didn’t break her eyes from his, returning his glare with the same intensity.Killian scoffed. “It concerns me because it’s disgusting to hear people label a slut as my ex-wife.”Kiara slapped him. Her emotions were already high, and his words could just make her tears burst from too much anger. She held back her rage, her voice trembling. “How dare you call me that!?”“Because you’ve become so cheap!” Killian grabbed her arm, his tone cold and harsh. “First, it was Mark, and now it’s Aaron. Have you become public property?”Was it her fault?Wasn’t she the victim?Why was Killian here to scold her anyway? Why did he l

She hadn’t been wrong. The fabric indeed looked very familiar.This morning, Kiara had seen Cora wearing the same kind of red fabric with blue stones embedded in the lacy linings. But what was a piece of Cora’s dress doing here, dangling on a tree’s bark?Suddenly, the sound of a muffled scream reached her ears.Kiara stilled and straightened up, her eyes darting into the deep forest of trees. The scream sounded again. She hadn’t heard it wrong. Curious, she stepped into the woods, and the deeper she went, the more prominent the screams. Kiara’s apprehension grew. The scream clearly belonged to a woman, who seemed to be experiencing agony, and not some wild animals.Besides, this island was a private property, and had been evacuated of wild animals.Kiara finally arrived at the source of the sound, and what she saw made her cover her mouth to suppress her yelp.Cora was almost unrecognizable. Her face was red, her eyes huge with purple circles. Her bruised lips dripped with blo
