All Chapters of Once An Overlooked Housewife, Now A Queen Of Fortune: Chapter 211 - Chapter 220

Simone took a cold from her mother’s wrist. “Oh my god, Mom,” she whispered. “What have we done?” Her eyes were huge, locked on Wren’s composed figure at the altar. “Wren was Ellington’s daughter? All this time?!!”Agnes saw the way her son's had slumped, on the utter void where his triumphant expression had been just moments before.As if then she started to remember everything from years ago. The bad way she had treated Wren when she was still her daughter-in law. And even after. She would always make comments about Wren’s orphaned background, had encouraged Felix’s disloyalties towards her because the girl simply wasn’t good enough, or connected enough. Agnes had missed every opportunity to be kind to Wren. The embarrassment she felt made her face heat up. She was filled with regret. They had housed, fed, and ignored the golden goose all along.Agnes gritted her teeth, not taking her eyes off the unfolding disaster at the front of the chapel.“Your grandmother told us she was an or

He was sitting on the floor. His back against the side of an overturned sofa. One knee up, his elbow resting on it. His forehead resting in his palm.He was staring at a point on the far wall, breathing slowly.Right next to Felix's leg, was his phone, where a video was playing on loop for almost an hour. It was a ten seconds clip from the wedding, showing the look on Felix's face when Wren had dropped the bombshell.Felix had watched several videos like that already.The thinking pieces of different people were putting together about his “hubris” or “downfall”. He’d watched all until his vision started to get blurry.And then he exhaled heavily as he lowered his forehead fully to his knee, clutching the back of his head,Felix sobbed. He cried like a child for however long it took until his phone started to ring“Yeah?” He grunted. He didn't pick up the phone only put it on speaker“I’ve had three separate firms look at the contract overnight. The contract is very airtight and there'

A man stands at the top of of balcony railing, on the twentieth floor of a hotel. He looks down, ready to jump…Someone from a building across the street had filmed Felix on their phone and posted it online. And of course the public immediately began to react to the video that looked like attempted suicide.Some comments called it a pathetic stunt for sympathy. Others blamed Wren directly and started tagging her and callinh hernames.‘She drove him to this.’‘She went too far.’“Is that witch happy now?’Wren closed the Instagram tab on her phone and let out a heavy sigh that dint necessarily dispem the ball of unease in her chest.Wren herself couldn't tell exactly what she was feeling about the whole thing. She had won, but whey didn't it really feel so good? It was as though, after the whole ordeal, a heavier burden wad laid in her heart.There might not be much sympathy for Felix, or his mother and sister. But what about the people who had never met her but their livelihoods depen

After a few months of doing nothing but all by himself Felix decided to start sending applications out high tier independent collaborations with relevant companies. Afterall, he has the experience and achievements in the field. He was either going to have an easy entrance or an extremely hard one given his circumstances.He got back calls, but from lower-tier firms that even he wouldn’t have glanced at a year ago. Felox refused to attend any interviews from these firms. They were above his level, and the few high-tier firms that reached out had one problem or the other. Either they wanted him to do way more than what he would be credited for, or they acted like they were the ones doing him a favour b6 hiring him. Which to Felix, it's the other way around. Anyone he works with would be the one lucky to have him.They were literally wasting a golden opportunity if you asked him.We have to ask, given the public nature of your exit from Morell,” one HR director had said, “How would you c

The annual Ellington Innovations holiday party was always a significant event on the social calendar.But this time around, it was different, because it was the first with Wren Ellington as the officially installed CEO.Wren arrived at the event in a metallic silver gown, looking absolutely stunning, and by her side was her bodyguard for the night, who briefly…if not more than briefly, reminded her of Kael.By their entrance together, people speculated whether she and the guy were dating, since no one knew he was just a bodyguard.After an hour of necessary mingling, shaking hands and accepting stiff congratulations, Wren walked to the stage to give her speech..“A year ago, many of us in this room were competitors. Or strangers. Or both.” There was a faint, acknowledging murmur. “It’s been a year of enormous change for the company, and for many of us personally. I want to thank every person here for the work it took to navigate that change. That work is what allowed us to stand here
