All Chapters of She Was The Joke, Now She’s The Queen: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"Mrs. Shaw, the office is on fire!" Panic cracked in the secretary's voice. "Mr. Shaw is in his office. I've called several times, but now he's not picking up his phone, and he's not answering the door."Hadley gasped for air. The glass of wine she had been drinking, fell down and broke on the floor as her eyesight became blurry.Her 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 had been baking a celebration cake since it was also their two years anniversary today."No... no, Andrew will be fine..." Hadley assured herself. She hurried upstairs in a haze 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 her only a week prior. He had t

"Let's avoid wasting each other's time because you detest me so much. Tonight, I'll move out. I'll see you tomorrow at the City’s court." Hadley said.She then made her way upstairs to gather her belongings. She was unable to bear to spend any more time at the home that had once been hers and Andrew’s."I couldn’t come to the hospital because I was very busy," Andrew said, grabbing her wrist. “Simply state what you want.”Busy after saving his life? Really Andrew!"There's no need to mince words," Andrew remarked. "As long as you stay my wife, name your terms."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 home? 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 wor

Hadley made the decision to grab a few necessities before returning home.With the intention of refreshing her clothing, she drove to a neighboring mall.The majority of her clothing from two years ago was either too old or too small.She needed to start shopping for maternity clothes now that she was pregnant.She headed straight for her store as soon as she entered the mall.The store manager, Ercell Cadce, was present and almost had a heart attack when he saw her."B… boss?" Ercell blinked in shock as she mumbled.With a lazy smile, Hadley said, "Long time no see, El."Ercell’ shocked eyes grew wide. "Holy crap! Four years have passed! I assumed you had permanently abandoned us."With tears in her eyes, she put her arms around Hadley and hugged her.Hadley gave her a back pat while laughing. "Avoid being depressed. Your boss took a brief leave of absence. But I'm back now."Ercell smiled, tears sparkling in her eyes. "You're not going to leave again, correct? Are you truly returnin

"Don't get too excited, Hadley. You are merely Andrew’s ex-wife, and tonight he'll purchase me the most amazing purple diamond and pop the question.”"Really? I'm trying to find it.” Hadley gave a smirk.After a brief delay, she shut the car door firmly and departed from the Shaw Group.Kingsley Fern, her grandfather, called her in the interim."Hi, Grandpa." "Had, at tonight's charity event, a violet 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 motivations.”Hadley grinned and said, "All right! Later, I'll visit that place. Send me the invitation, then.”After hanging up, Hadley thought, "What a coincidence, Andrew. Don't blame me for ruining your proposal."The Dove Auction House was bustling with prominent people and elites as night fell.There was a genuine treasure in everything up for auction.Every woman in the room

Hadley avoided glancing at Andrew and kept her expression unreadable.Ryland immediately lifted her paddle once again. "$Thirty million."Andrew scowled.Without hesitation, he increased the price by $thirty-five million because he wanted to know who that woman was.That was a rather daring move. He became further perplexed as his face darkened.He didn't want this picture to elude him, and all of the goods up for sale tonight had important secrets.Laura, meantime, was unable to understand the painting's high value. It didn't seem particularly noteworthy to her."Drew, it's just a painting," she said in an attempt to dissuade Andrew. It's not very valuable."With his brows knitted together, Andrew’s attractive face was now obscured by a chilly expression.He had the impression that he had previously seen this painting, but he was unable to identify the location. It had a strangely familiar quality.The auctioneer was ecstatic since he had not anticipated that a straightforward land
