Semua Bab The Billionaire's Ex-Wife: Declared Dead, Returned Dangerous: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Alexa’s POVIt took the greatest ounce of restraint in my body which stopped me from turning around and slamming the heavy wooden door right in Sarah's face, because the way she was matching down the hallway of Sterling Global headquarters showed she was completely out for blood.The morning meetings were just concluded and amidst the mini chaos with regional directors, legal advisers and secretaries, Sarah decided to be Sarah.I stared at the woman who crazily turned out to be Julian's main headache with an incredulous look on my face.I couldn't believe how poor Julian’s taste in women was, because why her of all people? Yikes!" Excuse me? Can I help you find something?" I asked in her direction as she stepped directly into my path.The two of us kept eye contact and even for a second, I didn't blink.The heavily made-up, grumpy looking lady just shrugged her shoulders and stared me down with detes

Andre’s POV A stolen ring. I tried my best to stop myself from reaching across the white tablecloth and ripping the glittering diamond band straight off Sarah’s finger, because the way she was flashing the jewelry while looking at Julian showed she thought she had finally won the grand prize. The restaurant arrangements were just concluded and amidst the mini chaos with waiters, wine bottles and low piano music, Julian Sterling decided to be Julian Sterling. I stared at the man who crazily turned out to be my fiercest competitor with an incredulous look on my face. I couldn't believe how poor his moral compass actually was, because why did he think it was acceptable to give his mistress the exact heirloom that belonged to Avery's mother? Yikes! " Excuse me? Did I hear you correctly?" I asked in his direction as he introduced the frantic woman sitting right next to him.

Avery’s POVThe penthouse front door slammed shut behind us, and I finally let the heavy document folder slip from my fingers onto the marble console table because my hands were shaking too violently from the discovery at the warehouse. The elevator ride had been completely silent, and amidst the growing tension between us, Andre decided to take off his wet jacket and throw it over a kitchen barstool before turning around to face me.I stared at the wrinkled velvet pouch containing my father's letter with a look of pure disgust on my face, and I couldn't believe how weak my own flesh and blood had actually been during my mother's final months."Avery, you need to sit down and breathe for a moment, because pacing back and forth across the rug isn't going to change the text inside that envelope," Andre said, his deep voice filling the quiet room as he walked over to the counter to pour a glass of water for me."How am I supposed to sit down when my father literally wrote that he suspect

The hallway was mostly deserted except for a few waiters rushing past with trays of empty flutes, and this gave me the perfect opportunity to move toward the private executive suites without drawing any unnecessary attention from the security team.I stopped right outside the heavy oak door of the VIP lounge when I heard the unmistakable sound of Julian’s muffled shouting from the inside, and I immediately pressed my back against the wall to catch every single word of their conversation."You need to calm down right now, Julian, because everyone out on that dance floor saw you lose your temper with Andre, and it is making the main investors incredibly nervous about our merger," Sarah’s sharp

Andre’s POVWe pushed through the glass doors and walked right back into the brightly lit ballroom because the loud shouting near the front stage meant Julian was already trying to gather his primary elite backers for an emergency vote. I kept my hand firmly on Avery’s waist to guide her through the crowded floor, and as we approached the main table, the board chairman stood up with a deeply concerned look on his face because the rumors about the warehouse discovery were already spreading among the guests."Julian, you need to explain these allegations immediately, because several investors have just received digital copies of a personal letter concerning the early Thorne laboratory records, and this looks incredibly bad for our pending merger," the chairman said, his voice carrying over the music as he pointed toward a tablet screen on the table."Those documents are completely fraudulent, Chairman, and my ex-wife is simply working wit
