บททั้งหมดของ The Barren Ex-Wife's Revenge: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Elena's private jet landed at Vaelthorne City International Airport at exactly three in the afternoon. As the plane touched down, Elena adjusted her silver mask one final time in the small mirror.The mask covered the upper half of her face perfectly. It was one of Aurora's most elegant designs, with delicate silver patterns that looked like frost on a window. Combined with her tailored black business suit and her confident posture, Elena looked every bit the mysterious billionaire businesswoman she had become."We've arrived, Your Highness," the pilot announced over the intercom.Elena took a deep breath. She was back in Vaelthorne City after eight years. The city where she had been humiliated and destroyed. But this time, she was returning as someone completely different.As the plane door opened, Elena was shocked to see at least thirty news reporters waiting on the tarmac with cameras and microphones."How did they know I was coming?" Elena asked her assistant Marcus, who had trav

"Mommy, when is daddy coming to play?" James asked.Victoria's heart hurt. "Daddy is very busy with work, sweetheart. But he loves you very much."Jack had become distant over the years. He was polite and civil, but the passion had died from their marriage. Victoria knew he resented her for not giving him more children, even though it wasn't her fault.Sometimes late at night, Victoria wondered if Jack compared her to Elena. Elena might not have given him children, but at least she had loved him completely. Victoria had married Jack for money and status, and he probably knew it.Victoria pushed these thoughts away. She had made her choice eight years ago when she came back to steal Jack from Elena. Now she had to live with the consequences."Come on, James," Victoria said. "Let's get you ready for bed."After putting James to sleep, Victoria went to the bedroom she shared with Jack. He was already there, working on his laptop."Jack, I've been thinking," Victoria said. "If I can arran

"And I'll ruin you if you don't," Elena said coldly. "Your choice."Harold Chen sat down heavily in his chair. "It was someone from the Ravenwood family."Elena felt like she'd been hit. "What?""Someone claiming to be from the Ravenwood family contacted me six months ago," Harold Chen explained. "They said they had authorization to stop any Ravenwood ships that came through Vaelthorne Port."Elena's mind was racing. "Who specifically?""I don't know their name," Harold Chen said. "They contacted me through encrypted messages and paid me in cash. They said they were handling internal family business."Elena felt cold. This wasn't about business competition. This was personal. Someone from her own family wanted to sabotage her."Show me the messages," Elena demanded."I deleted them like they told me to," Harold Chen said miserably.Elena thought about what Margaret had told her. About how her mother's baby had been declared dead and taken away. About how someone had stolen Elena from

"You built a lie with the Kaelthorn family," Richard corrected. "You don't love Jack. You love his money and his status which you do not have except for your family name.""That's not true," Victoria protested weakly."Isn't it?" Richard challenged. "You came back to Vaelthorne City eight years ago for one reason only. To steal Jack from Elena and secure yourself a wealthy husband."Victoria couldn't deny it. "Things are different now. I have James to think about."Richard's eyes hardened. "Then think about this. If you don't start keeping your promise, I'll tell Jack everything. About how you manipulated him. About how you faked being pregnant with twins to trap him into marriage faster."Victoria went pale. "I was pregnant with twins. I lost one in the womb.""Were you though?" Richard asked. "Or did you lie about twins so Jack would marry you immediately before he changed his mind?"Victoria had lied. She had only been pregnant with James, but she had told Jack it was twins to make

Jack had just stood there watching. Not defending her. Not stopping anyone. Just watching his wife get destroyed.Victoria had stood beside Jack with a satisfied smile on her face.Elena had finally managed to get up and run out of the hotel. She had taken a taxi home alone, bruised and soaking wet, while Jack stayed at the party with Victoria.That night had broken something inside Elena. She had realized then that Jack would always choose Victoria over her. That Jack's family would always find ways to humiliate her. That she would never belong in their world.Elena opened her eyes and came back to the present. She was no longer that broken woman lying on the floor. She was the Masked Queen of Business worth billions of dollars.And Victoria Kaelthorn had just invited her to dinner.Elena pressed the intercom. "Marcus, come back in please."Marcus entered the office. "Have you decided about the invitation?"Elena looked at him with a cold smile. "Tell me something, Marcus. What does
