All Chapters of I Canceled the Wedding and Destroyed Him and His Sidepiece: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

When Chloe arrived at the hospital, the doctor examined her injuries, then helped her sit in a wheelchair and handed her a stack of test slips.“Once your family pays the fees downstairs,” he said kindly, “you can head up to the second floor for the scans. When you’re done, come back up so I can give you the next diagnosis.”Chloe lay still, the forms clutched loosely in her hand. She didn’t move.The doctor paused, then asked, “Where’s your family?”“Sorry,” she said quietly. “I don’t have any family here in Riverton.”Her voice was hoarse, soft but raw. Wet strands of hair clung to her cheeks, dripping rainwater onto the hospital gown.Just then, someone grabbed the handles of her wheelchair and began to push.Startled, Chloe turned around and met a pair of dark, unreadable eyes.The man didn’t speak. One hand gripped the wheelchair firmly; the other held a phone pressed to his ear.He wore a long black coat over a perfectly tailored charcoal suit, his tall frame radiating q

Chloe watched the man sitting beside her hospital bed, studying his face, searching for even the faintest trace of the warmth he once had when they were in love.But there was nothing.He was no longer the man she used to know.“There’s no need,” she said calmly. “The doctor said my injury isn’t serious. It won’t affect the wedding.”Everything was already planned. Nothing could be allowed to delay it.Fourteen more days.Then she would be gone for good.Brian frowned, his expression serious, his tone heavy with concern. Yet in his eyes, a faint irritation flickered beneath the surface.“There’s a lot to handle before the wedding. My mother isn’t in good health, so she can’t help much. You’ll have to take care of most of it yourself, and I don’t want you overexerting.”He made it sound like he was worried about her, but Chloe could hear the real reason behind his words. He was trying to protect another woman.“Are you sure you’re not just worried that Candice might get upset s

During Chloe’s hospital stay, Brian and Candice grew bolder by the day.In just three days, Chloe received several anonymous messages from company employees. Some even bluntly told her that Brian and Candice’s relationship was anything but normal.It wasn’t hard to see what was going on. A young rookie fresh out of school suddenly getting so much personal attention from the company’s CEO? Anyone with half a brain could see there was something going on between them. Yet Brian still thought he was hiding it well.Aside from sending her one perfunctory message each day about his schedule, he hadn’t shown the slightest bit of care or concern.Having seen through him completely, Chloe stopped caring too.Her injuries weren’t serious, so after three days, once the pain eased, she checked out of the hospital and went back to her grandmother’s house to recover.Not long after, the wedding planner texted her to confirm a change to the photo that would be displayed at the wedding.“Miss S

“Mr. Shaw, do you really think that just because we’re getting married soon, Vision Studio automatically belongs to you?”The moment Chloe said that, the room seemed to freeze. Everyone kept their heads down, pretending to flip through papers, too afraid to look up at either of them.Brian’s face darkened as he met her gaze. Chloe, on the other hand, smiled calmly and spoke in an even tone.“I’m here today because of the Initech project. The investment is already halfway through, and pulling out now would hurt both Initech and Vision Studio. I don’t want anyone making emotional decisions that could cost this company tens of millions.”Her eyes swept across the department heads.“We should all be putting the company’s interests first.”Everyone kept their heads lowered, no one daring to say a word.Brian leaned back in his chair, idly twisting his wedding ring. His voice was flat.“Meeting adjourned.”The instant he said it, the managers shot to their feet and rushed out like they

“Do you want me to drive you home?”Chloe shook her head. “No need.”She brushed off Brian’s hand and walked out of the conference room.Candice scrambled after her on her knees. “Miss Spencer…”Chloe stopped and turned slightly, a faint smile curving her lips.“Miss Lawson, that’s enough acting.”Her tone was light but laced with sarcasm.“Since you’re not really suited for work, why not just stay home and be the pampered little sugarbaby you’ve been training to be?”Her words carried a pointed meaning that made Brian’s face instantly darken.Candice lowered her head, silent.Brian’s expression stiffened, and a flicker of guilt flashed through his eyes.“Chloe…”She smiled faintly and looked at Candice’s scalded hand.“Your hand’s already red and swollen. It’ll get worse later. Tell me, what kind of work can you do like that?”Her voice was calm, almost gentle, which seemed to ease Brian’s nerves. He stepped closer, slipping an arm around her waist, his tone soft and coaxing
