Trading My Cheating Husband for a Billionaire Tycoon のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

At the end of his vision, William only caught the last sliver of the VIP elevator doors slowly closing, and two blurry figures."William, what's wrong?" Wendy's heart tightened at his stiff reaction, and she followed his gaze. She suppressed the unease in her heart, reached out to caress his chest, her voice returning to its soft, delicate tone.William's Adam's apple bobbed, his voice extremely dry. "I think I saw Jennie.""You saw Jennie again?" Wendy's voice suddenly rose, instantly bristling. She pushed William away, all tenderness vanishing from her eyes. "William, are you getting too paranoid? This venue is booked by the Jonas family! Who does Jennie think she is, to be able to get in here?" An inexplicable fury flared within her. He was kissing her, yet still thinking about that woman!William frowned, but the clear "Miss Lawson” still echoed in his mind. "But, I think I just heard someone calling 'Miss Lawson’.”"Miss Lawson?" Wendy scoffed, crossing her arms. "William,

The airport hall was bustling with people. Jennie found a corner and sat down. She glanced at her phone; there were still thirty minutes until boarding. Good, she thought, let all of this come to an end tonight.Half an hour later, an electronic announcement sounded, reminding passengers for Ridgeview City to begin boarding. Jennie stood up, pulling her suitcase, and walked expressionlessly towards the boarding gate. Just as she was about to join the security line, William's voice suddenly called out from behind her."Jennie!"Jennie's back instantly stiffened.Taking a deep breath, she slowly turned around. Her gaze cut through the moving crowd, finally settling on the panting man not far away. William was breathing heavily, his face covered in a thin layer of sweat. He rushed towards her in quick strides. "Jennie, don't go." He grabbed Jennie's wrist. Seeing her alone with her suitcase, William's heart, which had been anxious the whole way, finally settled. Good, go

Rosie nodded repeatedly, her smile becoming even more ingratiating. She lowered her voice and said carefully, “Don’t worry, Mr. Simmons. You paid me, so I’ll do the job. I know the rules. It’s just… Miss Lawson seems pretty sharp. If I slip up even a little…”William’s expression filled with disdain. He crushed out his cigarette and exhaled a final slow ribbon of smoke. A mocking smile tugged at his lips.“Do you know why she’ll believe you?“She isn’t stupid. But she’s starved for love. A girl abandoned by her father, disliked by her relatives…“If you suddenly drop a blood relative in front of her, she’ll cling to that person for dear life.“She won’t even stop to question whether that lifeline can actually save her.”This plan had begun the moment he decided to settle in Redwood City six months ago.Six months ago, he learned that Wendy had secretly given birth to his daughter while abroad.The moment he heard the news, joy nearly swallowed him whole. He wanted nothing more

Jennie bit her lip unconsciously.Her father was flying back from overseas tomorrow. No matter what, she had to return to Redwood City, and she had no idea how long it would be before she could come back again.Her grandmother was here, but she still had a mess waiting for her in Redwood City. And she didn’t know why her father wanted to see her so urgently.After a moment of hesitation, she let out a soft breath and spoke into the phone.“Director Leedon, how about this… I can come by this afternoon. Would that work?”“Of course, of course!” Director Leedon sounded like he’d just been granted a royal pardon. “We’ll be waiting at the garden this afternoon. Thank you so much, Dr. Lawson!”When the call ended, he finally exhaled a long breath.He turned respectfully toward Nick. “Mr. Jonas, it’s done. Dr. Lawson will be here this afternoon.”Nick gave a quiet sound of acknowledgment, tapping his fingertips lightly against his knee.Last night, after returning to the Jonas fami

William’s expression darkened instantly, the muscles in his jaw flexing hard enough to crack.He practically ground the words out through clenched teeth.“Stop talking nonsense. Miss Reynolds and I work together, but she isn’t my only partner. I didn’t meet her today. Don’t make things up.”Watching him scramble to draw a clean line between them only made Jennie’s contempt deepen.Before his face could sink any darker, Rosie suddenly let out a soft cry and pressed a trembling hand to her forehead.“Oh dear… my head… why is it hurting again…? Jennie, sweetheart, Grandma isn’t feeling well. Let’s go back.”Jennie immediately dropped every ounce of emotion and hurried to support her.“Grandma, what’s wrong? Is your old condition acting up again?”William seized the opening like it was a lifeline. His expression eased, and he stepped forward quickly.“I’ll have the driver take you both back.”Jennie’s smile didn’t reach her eyes, but nothing sharp appeared on her face. Only concern
