All Chapters of Rejected Plus-Size Wife, Claimed by My Husband’s Brother: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

Matteo's POVThe photograph of Audrey remained frozen on my laptop screen.She stood beneath the bright lights of another interview, smiling confidently as reporters crowded around her.There was something almost unbearable about looking at her now, she wasn't the woman I remembered.The Audrey I knew had been quiet, careful, always waiting for someone else to decide what she should say, where she should go, how she should behave.This woman stood in front of cameras as though she belonged there.As though she had never been broken, as though I had never broken her. I closed the laptop when the room suddenly felt too quiet.“You're still watching her,” Victor's voice came from behind me, but I didn't turn around.“You're still talking,” I replied.He walked farther into the room and placed a folder on the table.“Our documents are almost ready,” he said and I glanced at the folder.“Good,” I muttered.“We leave in three days,” he said.“No,” I muttered and Victor's expression hardened

Matteo’s POVI stared at the message on my phone for several seconds before locking the screen.Kylie had contacted Love Plus again. The information shouldn't have surprised me, yet somehow, it irritated me more than I wanted to admit, but I really wanted to see what Audrey would do.She had asked them for financial and maternal support. I leaned back against the chair and stared through the window of the apartment Victor had allowed me to stay in.California was bright outside, almost painfully so. People walked along the streets as though their lives were uncomplicated. Cars moved through the intersections, restaurants opened their doors and businessmen hurried toward meetings.Everyone seemed to be moving forward, everyone except me. I looked at the photograph on my phone again… a photograph of Audrey.She was standing beside Logan at some recent event, smiling toward the cameras.She looked nothing like the woman I remembered and that was precisely what bothered me.She had chang

Audrey’s POVI arrived at Love Plus earlier than usual. The building was already alive with activity as usual. Employees moved between offices carrying folders, laptops, garment samples, and cups of coffee. Every conversation seemed to circle back to the same thing, the summit.I stepped out of the elevator and paused for a moment. Months ago, I would have walked through this building wondering whether everyone was staring at me.Now, people smiled when they saw me. Some greeted me with respect, others stopped to ask questions about the presentation.It still felt strange sometimes, not because I didn't believe I deserved to be here, but because I remembered the woman who once believed she deserved nothing.I walked into my office and placed my handbag on the desk. The summit presentation waited on my laptop. I opened it and the first slide appeared. LOVE PLUS: MORE THAN A BRAND…A MOVEMENT.I smiled. That was what I wanted people to remember. Not my marriage, not Matteo, not my tran

Audrey’s POVBy eight in the morning, Love Plus was already louder than usual. People moved quickly through the corridors carrying folders, laptops, garment samples, and cups of coffee. Phones rang constantly. Assistants hurried between offices. Somewhere down the hall, someone was arguing about the seating arrangement for the summit.I stood outside my office and watched the chaos for a moment. The summit was only days away and somehow, I was at the center of it.I walked into my office and opened the presentation on my laptop.The title appeared across the screen. LOVE PLUS: MORE THAN A BRAND… A MOVEMENT.I stared at it. Something didn't feel right. I clicked through the slides.Revenue projections, international expansion, market growth, investor opportunities.Everything was impressive, everything was professional and yet, it didn't sound like me. I leaned back in my chair."What's wrong with it?" Kimmie asked and I looked up.Kimmie stood in the doorway."I'm not sure,” I repli

Audrey’s POVBy six in the evening, I had completely abandoned my plans for the night.My laptop was still open on my desk, the summit presentation displayed across the screen, but I hadn't read a single word in nearly twenty minutes.My mind kept returning to Logan, maybe it was because of the way he'd looked at me earlier.There had been something different in his eyes, something he clearly wanted to tell me but kept postponing.I had asked him what he was hiding, and he'd only smiled. That man was becoming far too mysterious. I simply closed my laptop."Fine, If he won't tell me what he's planning, I'll distract him,” I whispered to myself.The idea made me smile. I grabbed my handbag and left Love Plus, I didn't tell anyone where I was going.For once, I didn't want to be Audrey Williams, Creative Director, founder, heiress, or the woman everyone seemed to have an opinion about.I just wanted to surprise my Logan. When I arrived at Lowill Group, the building was quieter than usual
