Lahat ng Kabanata ng Wife on Strike : Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

Meanwhile, at Holloway Holdings.The atmosphere inside the executive conference room was tense.No one dared to speak unnecessarily.The long polished table stretched across the room.Department heads sat on both sides, their backs straight and their expressions cautious.At the head of the table sat Ramon. His face was colder than usual.One by one, the departments presented their reports.Every presentation was carefully reviewed. The meeting had already lasted nearly two hours. By now, everyone in the room was mentally exhausted.Yet Ramon showed no signs of slowing down."Next." His voice rang through the room.Finally, it was Wanda's department's turn to present.She slowly stood up.Her face was pale, as though she was truly sick.Her eyes lingered on Ramon sadly, but his attention was already on the projector, waiting for her presentation to begin.Wanda swallowed quietly, trying to calm her pounding heart.Her hands trembled slightly.She was afraid of what she was about to pr

Ramon arrived at the hospital faster than he should have.The moment the driver parked the car, he stepped out and headed straight inside.His long strides were hurried.‘Your mother is in the hospital.’Those six words had been enough to make him abandon the executive meeting immediately.As he entered the hospital lobby, his eyes instantly found Kelsey.She was sitting quietly on a chair near the waiting area.Her head was lowered slightly. One hand rested against her forehead.The sight made Ramon's heart skip a beat. For a second, he thought something worse had happened.His steps quickened."Kelsey," he called quietly when he got closer.She lifted her head and stood up. "You're here.""How is she?" he asked immediately.His voice was calm, but inside, he was afraid of the answer.Kelsey exhaled. "She's stable now, but she's sleeping."Relief washed through Ramon instantly.The tightness in his chest loosened. "What really happened?"He still couldn't understand it.His mother ha

Ramon remained inside the hospital room for a while after Venus and Collins arrived.Most of the conversation revolved around Doris's condition.Venus sat beside the bed, holding her mother's hand.Collins stood nearby, asking the doctor several questions.The room gradually became less tense.Seeing that Doris was stable, Ramon finally stepped outside.The moment the door closed behind him, his eyes instinctively searched the waiting area.But Kelsey wasn't there.His brows furrowed.A few minutes ago, she had been sitting there. Now the chair was empty. His eyes moved around again, searching for Dimitri. He wasn't there either.Just then, his gaze landed on Maureen.She was seated alone, going through some documents.Ramon walked toward her.Though he didn't know her personally, he had seen her with Kelsey earlier."Where is Kelsey?" he asked as soon as he got close.Maureen lifted her head. Seeing who it was, she immediately stood up. "Mr. Holloway."Ramon nodded. "Where is my wife

Kelsey was still staring at Jason.The more she looked at him, the harder it became to believe."How were you able to act as a kidnapper?" Kelsey finally couldn't help but ask.Jason's body immediately became stiff.He adjusted his glasses.Then adjusted them again.Then looked away.Ruby, on the other hand, burst out laughing."I know it's shocking," she said between laughs. "But it wasn't hard. I gave him instructions and the result was amazing."She turned toward Jason and lowered his glasses slightly before adding proudly, "Just as I expected from my sweet nerd.""Oh..." Kelsey nodded slowly while staring at Jason, whose face had already turned red.She honestly couldn't understand it.Back in college, she never would have imagined the two of them together.Jason barely spoke.Sometimes entire group discussions would happen around him and he would only contribute a single sentence.And that was only if someone forced him.Yet somehow...This same man had acted as a kidnapper.Life

Ramon remained silent long after he left the warehouse.The black car moved smoothly through the city roads.Outside the window, buildings and vehicles passed by one after another. Inside the car, however, the atmosphere felt unusually heavy.Magnus sat in the front passenger seat.The driver focused on the road.Neither dared to disturb Ramon as his mind was everywhere at the same time.The N Gang.And most importantly...The words the man had spoken before he died."She must stay out of the way."The more he thought about it, the less it made sense.For the first time in a long while, he felt like he was missing an important piece of the puzzle.Something wasn't right.And the problem was that he didn't know what."Does her father have any involvement with the gang?" he muttered to himself.His heart skipped as though that could be the only reason they were after her.Then suddenly, his phone vibrated.He brought it out from his coat pocket and saw that Daniel was calling.Ramon sig
