All Chapters of The Wife You Shouldn't Have Lost : Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

The applause continued long after Layla finished her presentation.The audience couldn't stop talking about her artwork.If only they had seen the pieces that had been stolen.As the cheers slowly died down, a man stepped up to the podium and cleared his throat into the microphone.“Thank you, Ms. Layla,” he said with a warm smile. “You have done an incredible job with your artwork. I highly commend your creativity and dedication.”“Thank you so much,” Layla replied. “It's truly an honor to be here among so many people who took time out of their day to support artists and appreciate our work.”“Your work is remarkable!" someone from the crowd shouted.Immediately, several others voiced their agreement.“She's right!”“Absolutely!”“You deserve this!”Layla couldn't help but smile.The support was overwhelming.Then the host spoke again.“Actually, I was informed that some of Ms. Layla's artwork went missing before today's exhibition.”The room instantly fell silent.Layla's smile fade

The discovery shattered Salvatore.So devastating was the truth that he had collapsed and been rushed to the hospital.While listening to the conversation, he had expected his wife to deny everything. Instead, the moment the man's mention of Sophia came up—the same Sophia who had introduced her to them—her reaction had told him all he needed to know.They couldn't see her expression through the device, but Salvatore knew his wife too well.Her silence had been enough.Since being admitted, he had barely spoken and had spent most of his time staring into space. The news had spread quickly, prompting everyone to rush to the hospital—even the woman responsible for his condition. The creaking of the door failed to pull him from his thoughts. Lost in his mind, Salvatore didn't realize someone had entered the room.Ryan quietly stepped inside.Since bringing his father to the hospital, he had hardly rested. Watching the man he admired fall apart had left him deeply unsettled.Pulling a stoo

The door slowly creaked open, and Sophia walked into the room. The moment Ashley saw her, she rose from the couch and stared at her mother."Mother! You didn't come home last night."Sophia merely nodded and changed the subject."How is he feeling?" she asked, stopping beside the bed to check his vital signs."He's getting better. The doctor said he can be discharged tomorrow.""That's good." She gave a slight nod. "Has he woken up today?""Yes, he has, but he hasn't said a word.""Alright. I'll be meeting with the manager today, along with some investors."Ashley hesitated before speaking."Is there a way to revive the company? We don't have any money left."Sophia didn't answer immediately. Her mind was already elsewhere.The alimony she had requested was supposed to serve as a safety net for situations like this, but he had foolishly handed it over to Layla.That wasn't even the worst part.Throughout their marriage, he had never allowed her into his private room. They had slept in

Harthwore stared at his watch, patiently waiting for the rest of the family to gather in the living room.He had informed everyone that there would be a family meeting, yet no one had shown up—except his daughter, who was lying comfortably with her head on his lap.Layla was busy scrolling through her phone while her father kept glancing at the time, his expression growing more intense with every passing second.He already knew his sons would be difficult. They had all muttered under their breath when he announced the meeting, especially Ryan, who had never liked being told what to do.Still, as their father, it was his responsibility to protect every one of them—most especially his daughter, whom he had only been reunited with a few years ago.“Yes!” Layla suddenly exclaimed, Look!She lifted her head from his lap, immediately drawing his attention. Harthwore looked down at her, confusion written all over his face.“Is everything okay?”The wide grin on her face already gave him part

Sophia's heart thundered in her chest as she tried to process what her friend was suggesting. Her in-laws, that meant Ruth and her daughters.“Don't you want to revive the company?” Mrs. Salvatore pressed. “Or are you telling me you still care about that so-called marriage between them?”A dozen thoughts crashed through Sophia's mind at once, leaving her unable to decide what to believe, or what to do.She couldn't betray Ruth.Ruth was more than just an in-law; she was a friend. And no matter how much bitterness existed between them all, Sophia wasn't sure she could drag her into something this dangerous.Not even for Layla.“Think about it,” Mrs. Salvatore continued, leaning closer. “Your son gets out of the hospital, takes control of the company, and rebuilds it from the ground up. Then what? Do you really think he has to stay tied to Ashley forever?”Sophia's head began to spin.Everything was happening too fast.Every possibility seemed to open the door to another disaster.“He c
