Semua Bab She Was The Joke, Now She’s The Queen: Bab 1 - Bab 10

"Mrs. Shaw, the office is on fire!" Panic cracked in the secretary's voice on the phone. "Mr. Shaw is in his office. I've called several times, but he's not picking up his phone, and he's not answering the door either."“What?” Hadley yelled and shook in fear. Her phone fell on the floor. The glass of wine she had been drinking also fell and broke on the floor.She and her husband, Andrew Shaw’s two years wedding anniversary is today. Earlier, she helped Andrew secure a contract deal as his company director with Sky Group, one of the biggest companies in the city. And while she waited impatiently for him to return home to tell him the good news about the contract, she has been baking a celebration cake since it is also their two years anniversary today."No... no, Andrew will be fine..." Hadley assured herself. She hurried upstairs in a hurry even though she is overweight, her mind racing.With trembling hands, she pulled open the drawer and took out the key card that Andrew had given

"Let's not waste each other's time since you detest me so much. I'll move out and grant you your wish to be with your lover. See you tomorrow at the City’s court." Hadley said.She then made her way upstairs to gather her belongings. She couldn’t bear any moment at the house that had once been hers and Andrew’s happy place."I couldn’t come to the hospital because I was very busy," Andrew said, grabbing her wrist. “Just tell me what you want.”Busy after saving his life? Really!"There's no need to play hard-to-get. Tell me what you want.” Andrew remarked again.Andrew’s reference to the divorce looked like a ploy to grab his attention, and he was already making an effort to please her. It was more akin to a deal between business partners than the consoling gesture of a husband to his wife.Cash? An automobile? or a house? These problems may be fixed if Hadley asked her biological family."Why do you think money can solve everything? Don't assume everyone is like you, obsessed with w

On her way Hadley made the decision to grab a few necessities before returning home.With the intention of getting new clothing, she drove to a neighboring mall.Her clothes were too big now that she’s exercising and has lost weight. She also needed to shop for maternity clothes now that she’s pregnant.She headed straight to the store as soon as she entered the mall.The store manager, Ercell Cadce, almost had a heart attack when she saw her."B… boss?" Ercell blinked in shock as she mumbled.With a smile, Hadley said, "Long time no see, El."Ercell’s eyes grew wide. "Holy crap! I thought you have permanently abandoned us."With tears in her eyes, she hugged Hadley. Hadley gave her a back pat while laughing. "Alright stop crying I’m not dead yet. I'm back now."Ercell smiled with tears still in her eyes. "You're not going to leave again, are you? Are you truly staying this time?”Hadley nodded. "No. I'm not leaving.”"Alright,” Ercell exclaimed in happiness. "just pick what you want

"Who do you think you are, Hadley. You are just Andrew’s ex-wife, and tonight he'll purchase me a diamond and pop the question.”"Really? So happy for you guys then.” Hadley gave a smirk. “Get out of my way or I’ll hit you with my car.”“You wouldn’t—““Get lost.” Hadley screamed, Laura flinched and rush out of the way. Hadley drove away.Kingsley Fern, her grandfather, called her few minutes later."Hi, Grandpa." "Had, I sent you a link to an auction, take a look, it’s tonight. You’ll see the invitation once you click the link. A diamond will be up for auction. You have to buy it regardless of the price.”Hadley was a little taken aback. “I didn't know you were interested in diamonds, Grandpa.""Hurry up. Simply purchase it. I have my reasons.”Hadley grinned and said, "All right.”After hanging up, Hadley thought, "What a coincidence, Laura Beck. Don't blame me for ruining your proposal."~~The Dove Auction House was bustling with prominent people and elites at night.Every woman i

Andrew lifted his paddle and said, "three fifty."Hadley said after him. "Four hundred."Andrew turned to look at her, stunned. "Hadley, do you even have that kind of money?”Hadley chuckled in return. She looked at him indifferently, as though he was just a stranger. “You think I’ll come here without having that kind of money? What makes you think I don’t have more money than this?” she retorted.Andrew scowled. "Four fifty.""Five hundred.” Hadley responded."Drew, if you keep going..." Laura said as Andrew was about to lift his paddle once again. "Enough!" Andrew yelled angrily at her. "Six hundred!" He said again."Six fifty!" was Hadley’s quick reply. Everyone turned to look at Hadley. Andrew scoffed.Laura was stunned. Where did Hadley get such money from?It was meant to be her moment to shine, but Hadley managed to steal the show. She had intended to flaunt Andrew’s love for her in front of everyone. Hadley’s charisma and glitz were enhanced by the brilliant smile that curv
