All Chapters of The Ex-Wife’s Mega Comeback: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Everyone feared Franklin Roth. People trembled when he entered a room, executives stuttered, seasoned negotiators folded.So Tristan couldn’t understand it. Why Miss Munroe, of all people, stood there unbothered, arms crossed, not even blinking at his father’s presence.“Dad,” Tristan whispered loudly, eyes wide with suspicion, “are you… afraid of her?”Franklin stopped mid-step and turned, confusion flashing over his face. “What?”His gaze flicked to Cassie, who, annoyingly, looked perfect even with minimal makeup, hair loosely pinned back like she’d simply woken up pretty.Tristan shrugged dramatically. “Nobody challenges you, but she just did.”“That’s because,” Franklin said, lowering his voice, “this negotiation is yours. And the amount she’s asking for is outrageous. It’s—”“I already made it clear the offer isn’t on the list,” Cassie cut in smoothly, no hesitation in her voice.Franklin met her stare head-on. “Fine. Then tell me what would make you accept his offer. I’ll pay th

Franklin froze the second Cassie asked the question, and something in his eyes shifted, like a guard dropping for half a heartbeat before snapping back into place. His voice wavered just slightly, but the words came out steady and firm.“The right question at the wrong time will always give you the wrong answers.”Cassie lifted her brows, unconvinced. “And when exactly is the right time?” They were alone. To her, this was the right time. She wanted clarity, not riddles.Franklin opened his mouth to respond, but the door swung open.“Cass, I’ve been looking everywhere for you. Are you ready?” Nathan asked as he stepped inside, his gaze flicking immediately to Franklin.He froze for a moment, surprise flashing across his face, but he recovered quickly. “Mr. Roth. I didn’t know you were here.”They had known of each other for years, two men with reputations that traveled ahead of them, but they officially met only recently, when Sebastian introduced them while Nathaniel was checking on

Frederick showed up at the club early as usual. The moment Franklin sent the location, Frederick was already on his way, excited like he was attending some high-level investor gala instead of a neon-lit lounge with terrible parking.This time, Asher and Lucien tagged along. They were supposedly there to “look for investment opportunities,” but everyone knew that meant drinking, flirting, and pretending it was business research.And of course, wherever Frederick went, Sienna somehow appeared like a side mission he didn’t remember accepting. She didn’t come with her two shadows tonight, due to the distance.No one was ready to sponsor them from Chicago to Manhattan so, they stayed behind.The moment they walked in, Asher forgot every business plan he’d printed out. His eyes locked onto a woman at the bar like he’d just discovered a new planet.Aria Vaughn.The rising actress. The face he’d seen in interviews, on billboards, and on every playlist he secretly binged. And she was even more

Somewhere high above Washington, DC, a helicopter cut through the sky and descended onto the rooftop of a world-class medical laboratory.The sound of the blades echoed across the concrete helipad as the aircraft settled, powerful and precise, like it belonged there.Cassie’s heart was pounding even before the doors opened.Nathaniel reached for her hand the moment the engine quieted down, his grip firm and grounding. “We’re here,” he said, his voice calm but clearly pleased. “Are you excited?”Cassie laughed breathlessly as she laced her fingers with his. “Excited?” Her eyes shone. “This might be the best day of my life.”And she meant it.The moment they stepped off the helicopter, security personnel straightened instantly, greeting Nathaniel with sharp nods and unmistakable respect.Their eyes drifted to Cassie, curiosity flickering openly across their faces. Who was she?Doctor Nathaniel never brought women here. Ever.Employees paused in their steps, whispers starting before they

Cassie inhaled slowly, forcing the air deep into her lungs until the tightness in her chest eased just a little.If she was being honest with herself, she didn’t want Franklin hovering over her anyway. Not today. Not while she was trying to focus. So his sudden need to rush off actually worked in her favor.“You mentioned you have maids,” she said evenly, keeping her voice calm and professional despite the irritation buzzing under her skin. “One of them, or your security, can open the gate, right?”Franklin was already speeding toward the airport, his engine roaring as he blasted past red lights like traffic laws were optional. His voice crackled through the Bluetooth, sharp and impatient.“Do you even have a map of my house?” he shot back. “Letting you in is one thing, Cassie, but where exactly are you planning to put all this equipment? Which room is this setup going in? And I intend to be present the first time. I need to see your work myself. I have standards.”Cassie clenched her
