Alle Kapitel von Wife on Strike : Kapitel 101 – Kapitel 110

Collins noticed the hesitation in Kelsey's eyes. "Please," he said quietly. "Just hear us out. Five minutes is enough." Kelsey glanced at the time on her wristwatch. She had planned to leave early for the plantation, and there was still the rehabilitation center she intended to visit afterward. She didn't have much time. But since the man had asked, she decided to hear him out. "Okay," she said, taking a step closer. Relief flashed across Collins' face. "Thank you." The living room fell into silence. Collins took a slow breath. He had rehearsed this conversation countless times on the way there. But now that Kelsey was standing in front of him, every prepared word seemed to disappear. Finally, he spoke. "Kelsey..."His voice was low. "We are here to apologize for everything." Kelsey was stunned. Her fingers instantly tightened around the edge of her dress. She had never expected that this was what they wanted to talk to her about. "We owe you many apologies

Some hours later...Kelsey arrived outside Ruby's company. She parked by the roadside and waited.Not long after, the glass doors of the building opened.Ruby walked out carrying her handbag. The moment she spotted Kelsey's car, a bright smile spread across her face.She quickly walked over, opened the passenger door, and got in."I'm starving," she complained as she fastened her seat belt. "Let's pick up my favorite little man quickly before I faint.""Faint because of food?" Kelsey couldn't help smiling. "Stop being dramatic."But then her smile faded slightly as she remembered that she had once fainted herself and Ramon had reminded her about it that morning."I've always been dramatic." Ruby leaned back comfortably. "So, where's the rehabilitation center? I thought you were going there today.""I already went," Kelsey answered as she started the car.Ruby nodded. "How is he?""He's settling in well," Kelsey replied with a quiet breath."That's good."Silence settled inside the car

The same day...The evening sky had already begun to darken when Ramon's car slowly came to a stop in front of a modest house.He remained seated for a few seconds before stepping out.Magnus stood quietly beside the car."Should I come with you, sir?" he asked.Ramon shook his head. "No need”He closed the car door and walked toward the house alone.He knocked, and a few seconds later, a servant opened the door. His eyes widened in surprise."Who is at the door?" Andrew's voice came from inside.The servant lowered his head in shock. His hand trembled."It's Mr. Holloway," he informed Andrew."What?" Andrew's surprised voice echoed through the house, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.Ramon wasn't in a hurry. He stood calmly at the door, waiting to be let in."Let him in," Andrew said after a short while.The servant immediately stepped aside and opened the door wider for Ramon."Uncle Andrew," Ramon greeted as he walked in.His face remained calm and expressionless."Ramon?

The next day... By the time the sun had fully risen, Kelsey was already at the plantation. She sat behind her office desk, quietly going through a stack of documents while Maureen stood opposite her, giving the morning report. "The workers have started harvesting from the northern field," Maureen reported. Kelsey nodded as she signed another document. "What about the shipment for tomorrow?" she asked without lifting her head. "Everything has been arranged." "Good." Maureen placed another file on the desk. "The supplier also confirmed the new equipment." "I'll look through it later." "Alright." After discussing a few more matters, Maureen left the office, leaving Kelsey alone. The room became quiet again. Kelsey picked up another file and had barely opened it when her phone vibrated. She glanced at the screen. A text message from Dimitri. ‘Don't forget our appointment tomorrow. I'll come and pick you up.’ Kelsey looked at the message for a few seconds before replying.

The room fell into complete silence. The three men slowly surrounded Kelsey from different directions. Laura folded her arms across her chest, the corners of her lips curling into a smug smile. She waited to see fear on Kelsey's face, but she saw nothing. Kelsey stood calmly where she was. Her cold eyes swept across the three men before finally resting on Laura. A faint smile appeared on her lips. "Coward," she said indifferently. "That's what you are." Laura's smile stiffened. "What did you just call me?" Kelsey's expression remained indifferent. "A coward." She looked Laura straight in the eyes. "You couldn't even face me yourself." Her gaze shifted toward the three men. "You had to hide behind them," she continued as though nothing was about to happen. "You've always been like this. You let other people dirty their hands while you stand back pretending you're innocent." Laura's face darkened. Her breathing gradually became heavier. "You've never had the coura
