Semua Bab Broke Ex Wants Me Back After I Marry Rich: Bab 1 - Bab 8

The moment Edward heard the voice on the phone, shock flashed across his face.In the very next second, he strode forward, snatched my phone out of my hand, and ended the call before I could even react."Audrey," he said mockingly, waving the phone in front of me. "You've really come a long way, haven't you? Your tricks are getting more convincing by the day. Did you actually pay people to stage this whole act? Now you've even figured out how to fake phone calls, spinning some fairy tale about a rich husband."He smirked, making no effort whatsoever to hide his contempt. "Do you really think fooling yourself like this is getting you anywhere?"I was so furious at his shameless confidence that I actually laughed."Edward Harrington, are you really this delusional? Do you honestly believe you're important enough for me to waste time hiring actors and staging a show just for you?"I looked at him coldly."I, Audrey Calloway, don't have the spare time to fight over a pile of trash."

Edward suddenly burst into laughter as if he had just heard the most ridiculous joke in the world. The shock on his face was instantly replaced by pure mockery.He laughed and disdainfully said, "It's been years, and you're still the same. The only thing that's gotten better is your ability to make things up. Scott Miller's wife? Why don't you just say you're the Queen?"He laughed loudly and exaggeratedly, but his eyes were as cold as blades. "Do you honestly expect me to believe that Scott Miller would choose a woman I already discarded and make her his wife? Come on. If you're going to lie, at least try to make it convincing."Every word he said felt like a kick, driving me further into the dirt beneath him.Lily quickly capitalized on the moment, adding her voice to his. "Audrey, I know you're trying to provoke us, but you can't just make things up like this…"She paused, then continued, "When I was in Marinova, I heard the wealthy ladies there talk about Mr. Miller's myster

Scott didn't spare either of them another glance, as if looking at them any longer would stain his eyes.He wrapped an arm carefully around my shoulders, holding me in a protective embrace as he guided me toward the exit."Audrey!"Behind us, Edward's desperate scream suddenly rang out.His voice was filled with panic and regret that had come far too late."I was wrong! I know I was wrong! Don't let them take me away!"Fear warped his voice until it broke into sobs.Scott never slowed his steps, nor did he spare him even a glance.His thin lips parted slightly, and the words that left him carried a lazy, cruel edge."Someone as worthless as you has no right to utter my wife's name."Then he paused briefly and issued a final warning. "If I hear you utter her name again, that tongue of yours won't be staying where it is."Behind us, Edward's wails and frantic pleas ceased mid-breath, as if an unseen hand had clamped shut his throat and snuffed out the sound.Silence followe

I stumbled back two steps. My back slammed hard against the cold wall, which was the only thing keeping me from collapsing to the floor. A tight, cramping pain seized my lower abdomen."Audrey!"A hoarse, all-too-familiar voice suddenly called out, carrying a desperate, almost manic excitement.I struggled to bring my vision back into focus. When I jerked my head up, I found myself staring straight into a pair of obsessive eyes.Those eyes were bloodshot, with dirty, clouded whites, yet the pupils shone with an eerie brightness that sent a chill down my spine.It was Edward.He was standing only a few steps away. I had no idea when he had gotten there.His face was overgrown with unkempt stubble, and his once-handsome features were now sunken and hollow. His clothes were wrinkled beyond recognition, as if he had been living in them for days.I instinctively tried to pull back, but Edward suddenly lunged toward me.Before the bodyguards or I could move, he closed the distance w
