She Returned with Genius Babies, He Regretted のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 80

Elena’s POV“This is really bad.”This is the only statement that keeps playing in my mind. Constantly on repeat. Never stopping. Never letting up.It’s the next day already. It should be a fresh start. I should feel more motivated after finding out what they all intended to do last night. But instead, I woke up with a killer headache even though I didn’t drink a drop of alcohol last night.I’ve gotten dressed. I’ve taken the kids to temporary daycare while their admission to the new school is getting sorted. They will be watched over by guards, so I don’t need to worry about them.It just gives me time to worry about everything else.Especially now that the news has hit the waves.The words from the report are still ringing in my head. Mastermind. Calculated move. Cunning and manipulative….I don’t even know where those words came from. All I know is that I’m in deep shit.“It can still be fixed,” Uncle Marcus tells me as I get ready to leave. “My team is on it. We’re working directl

Tristan’s POV“Look at them have so much fun!” Mom laughs as she shows a video footage of media people running after Alexander. “God, no one deserves this harassment more than this man.”“If you can call him a man,” Mira quips, and they both laugh.It’s still very strange, the way they morphed into being friends after everything that happened. We’re all now in the country club for brunch, which Mira is enjoying very well.It’s as though nothing happened.Ethan is out there in the yard, happy as ever. Like he didn’t just almost drown last night. Mira is laughing with my parents, like the past few years never happened. It’s also as though we didn’t just fire the only house staff I have that has lasted for over five years.I’m still reeling from everything. It doesn’t help that we found nothing else in Diane’s room. It also seems like the computer is completely untouched. My IT boys told me that nothing has been breached, and according to my house security, they haven’t seen Diane sneaki

Tristan’s POVMy blood feels like it just got drained out of my body all at once hearing Mira’s words. I look at Elena, but she just leans against the wall and smiles almost sweetly at me, like she’s enjoying the show.Meanwhile, for me it feels like someone just set the floor on fire.I open my mouth to tell Mira not to go and that it’s not necessary, but as I lift the phone to my lips, Mita turns off the call.I go to our tracking app and see that she’s less than a block away.No. She can’t find out that I’ve been here. She can’t just appear right now, especially since Elena is still here. And of course Elena wouldn’t help me. Not ever.Because why would she?I just kissed her without her permission.And I very nearly let it cross a line….“I’m going to go now,” I tell Elena. “Remember the conditions that we set. You don’t breathe a single word out to anybody, and I will help you fix your reputation. I promise.”Elena just smiles, ignoring me. Breaking my brain trying to think of wh

Elena’s POVA few days—six to be precise—later, nothing has changed.I’m still being chased by the media every time I go to work or even step outside the house. Uncle Marcus had to hire extra security for the house and the children, especially when we go back to the Academy to finish their papers for admission.Even after all that hardship, they’re set to come to school on their first day tomorrow.Alexander and I decided to postpone the summer launch and instead just focus on the fall release.Émeraude has clearly taken a hit. No one can deny that. Our sales has seen a significant decrease, even though it’s not enough to tank me completely.The online discourse doesn’t favor me completely. I see a lot of comments attacking me, even Alexander and my family.But even though it’s all so painful to see, there are still people who seem to be reserving judgment.“It’s all just so convenient,” some comments say. “Isn’t Émeraude a complete threat to them not long ago?”“It seems like a smear

Third Person POVMira curses herself internally.How did she let that slip?How did she let everything slip?She looks at Tristan, and the first thing she notices is the fact that he doesn’t seem so ignorant to everything anymore. Back then, he rarely got involved. He didn’t mind whatever she did, as long as she was home when he got there.But now… he’s beginning to ask questions.And that’s dangerous.Slowly, she turns around. The best way to play Tristan is to act like a victim, always.“What did you ask me?” she asks in a soft voice.Tristan’s jaw tightened. He pointed at her belly. “The edge of the table. It just bumped against your belly and you didn’t even flinch. You didn’t react. Did that not hurt? Were you not worried?”“Worried about what?” Mira asks, rubbing her belly. “I’m fine. It’s not that sensitive.” She took a deep, dramatic breath. “But it’s your suspicion that hurts me, Tristan. Do you really think I would lie to you about that?”Tristan falls silent. Mira believes
