บททั้งหมดของ The Worthless Ex-Wife's Revenge : บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

MarcusWhat just happened?I stood frozen in the parking lot, unable to move, unable to speak.My cheek still stung from where Serena had slapped me—no, not me. She'd slapped Victoria, my mother, and my father.But the words she said to me hurt far worse than any physical slap ever could."Marcus means nothing to me. Why would I stalk someone who's less of a man? A complete loser?"Those words kept echoing in my head, over and over.Me, less of a man. A loser.I couldn't believe it.I couldn't believe that Serena—sweet, quiet, obedient Serena, had just publicly humiliated my entire family.Like, when did she change?The Serena I knew would never raise her voice, let alone raise her hand. She would never talk back. She would never stand up for herself like that.But the woman I just saw? That wasn't the Serena I remembered.That woman was powerful, confident, and fearless.That woman was... incredible."No. Stop thinking like that." I scolded myself.I sighed, shaking my head as I trie

Marcus"This is ridiculous!" my mother shrieked, jumping to her feet. "Absolutely ridiculous!"Her voice echoed through the conference room, making several shareholders flinch."You crazy woman!" she continued, pointing a shaking finger at Serena. "What kind of nonsense are you spewing? Majority shareholder? You?"She turned to Desmond, her face twisted with fury."You!" she shouted. "Get this delusional woman out of here right now! She's clearly lost her mind! She has no business being in this meeting!"Desmond's face changed immediately.The polite, professional expression disappeared, replaced by something cold and dangerous.He stepped forward, his voice sharp and cutting."Mrs. Wellington," he said, his tone making my mother take an involuntary step back. "I suggest you sit down and show some respect. You are currently in the presence of the majority shareholder and soon-to-be president of Wellington Holdings.""But..." my mother started."Sit. Down." Desmond's voice was like ice

SerenaI watched as the paramedics wheeled Mr. Richard Wellington out of the conference room on a stretcher, his face pale, his body limp.Margaret Wellington followed behind, sobbing hysterically.Victoria was crying, clutching her mother's arm.And Marcus... Marcus just looked lost. Broken. Like his entire world had collapsed.Good.A small smile tugged at my lips.I turned my attention back to the remaining shareholders, keeping my expression professional and neutral.But inside? Inside, I was celebrating.The shock on their faces was priceless.I have waited so long for this moment. Planned every detail. Anticipated every possible reaction.But seeing it actually happen? Seeing the Wellington family completely destroyed?It was even better than I'd imagined.Mr. Wellington fainted?I almost wanted to laugh.I thought he was stronger than that.All I did was take over the company. Just the company. And he fainted from the shock?What will he do when I move to the next phase of my p

SerenaThe restaurant was elegant and quiet, with soft lighting and classical music playing in the background.Dave had reserved a private booth in the corner."So," he said after we'd ordered. "Tell me everything. What happened after I left? How did you end up running Lawrence Global?"I gave him a carefully edited version, leaving out the worst parts about Marcus and the Wellington family."I got married," I said. "It didn't work out. Got divorced. Reconnected with my father. And here I am.""Married and divorced already?" Dave asked, surprised. "Wow. Was it... was it Marcus?"I nodded, not trusting my voice.Something flickered in Dave's eyes. Anger? Concern?"I'm sorry," he said quietly. "I had a feeling he wasn't right for you.""You were correct," I admitted."Well, his loss is the business world's gain," Dave said with a smile. "You're incredible, Serena. You always were.""Thank you," I said, feeling uncomfortable with the compliment.We talked throughout dinner—about college,

Serena "Serena," he said, and his voice was different. Softer. Almost... pleading?"Mr. Wellington," I replied coolly. "What can I do for you?"He flinched at my formal tone."Please," he said. "Can we talk? Really talk?"I leaned back in my chair, studying him. "You have five minutes."He took a deep breath and stepped closer."I made a mistake," he said. "A huge mistake. Letting you go was the biggest mistake of my life."Wait, did I hear him well?Is this some kind of joke or what?I said nothing, just waited."I know I hurt you," he continued. "I know I treated you terribly. But I've been thinking, and I realize now... I still have feelings for you."Is he serious?"I want us to get back together," he said. "I want to fix what I broke. We can start over, Serena. We can...""No."The word was cold and final.Gosh, the shamelessness in his voice made me sick.Marcus blinked. "What?""No," I repeated. "We're not getting back together. We're not starting over. We're done, Marcus. We'
