Semua Bab My Horrible Ex-Husband Can't Move On, But I Can: Bab 91 - Bab 100

The announcement spread like wildfire, and the entire secretarial team erupted in disbelief."Is this a prank? Did someone hack Pascal’s account to mess with us?"“Pascal, are you serious? Did Mr. Sullivan really say that? Maybe he's been bewitched or something! Or worse, is something wrong?"“What's wrong with you? Who cares? We're leaving early and getting a bonus morning off! This is basically a modern miracle!"“Do you think Mr. Sullivan’s finally found someone special? Maybe he's planning a big romantic date and he's so happy that he's letting us go early. If so, his girlfriend is a godsend."“Not likely. Mr. Sullivan has always been all business, he doesn't care for dating, and he'd never get giddy over anything so simple."The truth was, Pascal himself was desperate to uncover the reason behind Lucas’ sudden generosity, but he didn't dare ask. His curiosity gnawed at him, an itch he couldn't quite scratch.Lucas returned to the Bayfront Estates villa with a rare spring in his st

Amelia shook her head, steady and unruffled. "That's not necessary," she said, declining his help. "If we pull down the news or the trending posts now, it'll only make people suspect I have something to hide."Removing those topics would only add fuel to the fire, turning public opinion even more vicious. That was exactly what the real culprit wanted. She wouldn't allow them to get what they wanted. Anyone bold enough to spread rumors and drag her name through the mud ought to be ready for the backlash.Lucas’ brow knitted together. "Then we'll track down whoever started this and set the record straight," he said.“You don't need to get involved for now. I'll take care of it myself," Amelia replied.He exhaled and then gave a small nod. "Alright. But if things get out of hand, promise me you'll reach out. Don't carry this all by yourself."“I promise." A gentle smile touched her lips. Gratitude and warmth welled up inside her.Viola chimed in, her eyes shining with pride as she spoke o

The traffic officer shook his head, concern in his tone. "Miss, you're entitled to proper compensation, but let's not cross the line. If this keeps up, you might end up with extortion charges yourself."Calm and unshaken, Amelia offered a gentle smile. "If you don't believe me, let the insurance company do its assessment. I said at least a million, not just a million."The first man clenched his fists and took a threatening step forward, only for the traffic officer to block his path. Red-faced and nearly shouting, he yelled, "Officer, did you catch that nonsense? That pile of junk isn't even worth three hundred grand However, she wants a million for a tiny scratch? This woman's insane-extortion must be her hobby!"Amelia ducked behind the traffic officer's shoulder, shrinking back as if she was terrified. With a cautious glance from her hiding spot, she spoke up, refusing to back down. "You're wrong, my car's worth far more than three hundred thousand. It's close to ten million."The

Eve scoffed, waving her hand dismissively. "Worse? How much worse can it get? Didn't he just put us all on his blacklist?"To her, it was no big deal.Jacob was just a surgeon. Soon, younger talents would outshine him. Additionally, the Wright and Graham families might not require a surgeon anyway. Once she secured a connection with the son of the wealthiest man in Critport, she'd rise above everyone else, gaining power, prestige, and influence.“Eve’s right. We're already blacklisted. What worse could happen?" Martha agreed, settling beside Eve on the bed. She patted Eve’s head proudly. "You're brilliant, sweetheart. Once you marry into the Madrigal family, we'll have more influence than that cranky old man ever dreamed of. The Madrigal patriarch has ties with all the major players in this country."A smug smile spread across Martha’s face, pride practically glowing from her.“When that time comes, our whole family will rise with you. And if the Madrigals become the leading force in H

Amelia blinked in surprise. She hadn't expected anyone to actually make it over a casual comment. Warmth bloomed in her chest, but it came with a touch of sadness. Her thoughts drifted to her years with the Wright family. Even when she made deliberate requests, Damian never fulfilled them, let alone acted on something she said in passing. The difference was night and day. Her ex-husband hadn't shown her half the care her friends now did.“Thank you. I only mentioned it casually. I didn't think you'd actually make it," Amelia said with a grateful smile.When Lucas cooked before, she had distributed it for Viola’s sake. But this time felt different, like it was just for her. She had only mentioned it last night, and here it was, warm and ready.Viola grinned. "No need to thank us. We'll become family once you marry my brother." She gave Amelia a playful wink.Lucas looked slightly flustered and cleared his throat. "Ahem. Come and eat."“Alright!" Viola beamed, grabbing Amelia’s hand. "Le
