All Chapters of Best Revenge: Don't Beg for Mercy, Ex-husband: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

On The Day of The Trial.The courtroom was thick with tension.Reporters sat quietly at the back, while the families occupied the front rows; with the Andersons seated beside the Reids, both families solemn and rigid.Opposite them were the Harringtons, whose faces were pale with shame. Mark Harrington sat at the defendant’s table, wrists cuffed, his once-proud and haughty face now hardened with defiance. As the trial began, Greg stood with quiet authority, his eyes devoid of the usual coolness as he addressed Mark. “Mr. Harrington, do you deny abducting and physically assaulting Ms. Cora Reid on the day of her wedding?”Mark’s expression didn’t falter.He leaned back, his voice steady and calm. “I don’t remember what happened. I was drunk, and everything they’re saying is exaggerated. They’re lying.”Gasps spread across the courtroom, and whispers rose in the air. The judge struck his gavel, calling order. Mark’s response was unprecedented. He neither appeared fazed nor worried,

Cora’s body shook fervently, her tears dampening Kiara’s jacket as she sobbed uncontrollably like a baby. “I didn’t get the chance to thank you, Big Sis! I’m sorry if this is coming too late! I’m so grateful. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t still be alive. Thank you so much, Big Sis!”Kiara stood stunned, unable to react for a moment. As Cora called her big sister continuously, she was forced to remember the past when Cora would treat her like one.Right now, she looked no different from the innocent but sweet girl Kiara had always been familiar with.“It’s okay,” Kiara replied, regaining herself. “I would have done the same for anyone in a similar situation.”Cora pulled away, blinking out more tears, her lips trembling. She took Kiara’s hands, shaking her head. “It doesn’t matter. I want to apologize for being so mean to you. You risked your life and saved mine. It was a huge sacrifice, Big Sis. Please forgive me. I treated you badly, but you repaid me with kindness.”From the m

…“You could have grabbed that opportunity! Why did you decide to humiliate them instead? Are you out of your mind?”Kiara rolled her eyes as her father’s angry voice boomed through her phone’s speakers. If she knew he was the one calling with this strange number, she wouldn’t have answered the call in the first place. “Kiara, are you even listening to me!?” He shouted. “Everyone knows that you saved Cora. You could use that to demand something from the Reids’ family. Even if you wanted your ex-husband to take you back, he would do it whether he liked it or not! Then everything will be back to normal.”The man would never give up, would he?How did he even have the guts to speak with her after what he had done to them?Kiara could have ignored him and eventually hung up the call, however, his last statement made her laugh. “Gerald, whose side are you actually on? Mine or Sophia?”“You-”“What… Sophia lives with Killian and is enjoying all the benefits of his mistress. I am very sur

It was as if her heart had stopped beating right in that moment. A gasp escaped her lips, her eyes widening. She hadn’t heard him wrong, had she?Greg l-liked her? In what way, though? Kiara might be overthinking it. Where her mind was going might not actually be what he’d intended with his words.But the usual mischievous look wasn’t there in his eyes for her to assume that he was joking. Greg had on a serious expression as he told her,“I’m not joking, Kiara. I really like you… a lot.”Kiara swallowed… nothing. Her throat was constricted, and even her chest. She didn’t know why, but she suddenly could not breathe properly. “I know it’s too sudden.” Greg reached out and held her hand. “But keeping it in has been a battle I could not win. I won’t lie to you, Kiara, I want to marry you.”Kiara gulped, her heart trembling. When it started beating again, it was racing so fast inside her chest, just like the train of her thoughts. A love confession and a marriage proposal… was she d

Everyone froze in their spots, including the guests who had just started to leave. The boy, just a bit tall, above Killian’s knees, was dressed in a smart mini tuxedo similar to his. Including the family members, all eyes turned to the boy as he tugged at Killian’s sleeve. “Hey, is that Killian Reid’s son?”“Seems like it. He just called him ‘Daddy’”“No way! So the rumors are true. Killian has a son!”“Isn’t he a mini version of him?” “He doesn’t look a bit like him, though.”“Shut up! The boy must have taken after his mother. Look at her. I bet that’s the mistress!”More gasps echoed in the place as Sophia arrived. Several bodyguards walked behind her, and one of them carried her bag. Sophia and her son’s sudden appearance dragged everyone’s attention, inciting murmurs and whispers among the guests. The family members looked baffled, as if they weren’t expecting her. Even Killian’s eyes widened for a second.However, he retained a normal expression, reached out to the boy, and p
