บททั้งหมดของ He Moved His Assistant Home: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

The Tibetan mastiff by the door, emboldened by its mistress, snarled at me a few times.Lily rolled her eyes."And who the hell are you? Rob isn't someone you can just demand to see."She sized me up with a sneer."What is property management even doing, letting someone dressed like a street vendor into this neighborhood?"My skin is highly sensitive — regular fabrics break me out in rashes within minutes. Rob had specially ordered custom-made clothes from Italian mills just for me. Never in a million years did I think I'd be looked down on for not wearing designer labels.I almost laughed. After all these years, this was the first time I'd ever been blocked from seeing Rob.I reached for my phone to call him and give him a piece of my mind — only to realize, to my horror, that the battery had died.So I just held out my hand and coldly demanded Lily hand over her phone."If you set him back on something important, you know what happens."Lily flinched at my glare. In that sp

The stinking, bloody jaws gaped open in front of my face. I threw my arm up to block, and sharp fangs pierced straight through my forearm.Between the searing pain and sheer terror, a dull, dragging ache began to spread through my lower abdomen. The IVF had been brutal enough, and my pregnancy symptoms had been especially severe. The doctor had warned that if I didn't take extra care, the baby would most likely not make it.In just those few moments, I could already feel blood pooling beneath me.Someone in the crowd got nervous. "Don't kill her. Just throw her out."Lily let out a cold snort. Immediately, someone rushed to flatter her."Lily is the apple of Mr. Balmer's eye! Remember that time someone outbid her for a piece of jewelry at auction? The guy was on his knees apologizing to her the very next day!""Even if something does happen, with Mr. Balmer backing you, what's there to worry about?"The lead guard grabbed me by the arm and started dragging me out, spewing filth

That resounding slap stunned everyone.After a brief silence, I heard someone gulp nervously."Who is this person? She actually dared to hit Mr. Balmer!"Someone in the know whispered, "This is the Knight family from Greth City! The Knights usually keep a low profile, but in reality, they're the old-money aristocrats of this city!""The Balmers are just a bunch of nouveaux riche! Without the Knights' backing, that Balmer guy would be nothing!"Rob heard it too. His face turned ugly.In normal times, anyone who dared humiliate him wouldn't live to see the next day.But now, standing before my mother, Elaine Knight, he had no choice but to swallow his pride.A flicker of suppressed rage crossed his face. He took a deep breath and turned to my mother."Mom, what's going on? Isn't Sherry abroad resting? I went to see her just last month. Did something happen to her?"By the end, Rob's face had gone pale, and his voice carried a note of genuine anxiety."What happened to Sherry?

Hearing Rob's arrogant confidence, I was shaking with rage.What made him so sure that after everything that had happened, I would still choose to stay with him?Did he really think his charm was so irresistible that I'd lost all my senses?I couldn't hold back any longer. I threw open the curtain."Rob Balmer. I'm saying it to your face right now. I want a divorce."At the sound of my weak, hoarse voice, Rob spun around. Guilt flickered across his eyes."Sherry, I was so scared. How are you feeling now? Do your wounds still hurt?"After everything I'd been through, I could see clearly now. His concern and worry might have been real in that moment — but more than that, he was terrified of losing my family's backing.His false affection couldn't fool me anymore.He reached out tenderly to check my wounds. I yanked my hand away and said flatly, "Mom. Get this man out of here. I never want to see him again."Rob flinched. He grabbed my hand forcefully and lowered his voice."Sh

At the same time, they never forgot about me — their daughter-in-law. They kept trying to mediate and patch things up between me and Rob.I sneered at the Balmers' two-faced maneuvering and their desperate attempts to ingratiate themselves.What exactly did a faithless man like that have that was worth fighting over?With the care of the family hospital, my body recovered quickly after the miscarriage.Meanwhile, my family launched an all-out war against the Balmers.The Balmers had money but no connections — they'd relied entirely on the Knights to open doors for them.Now that my mother had deliberately leaked news of my divorce from Rob, the tide turned overnight.First, the Balmer company lost its bids. Then their cash flow started drying up.Rob was run ragged trying to keep things afloat — so busy he didn't even have time to visit Lily, who was still throwing tantrums in the hospital.It was only then that Rob realized: without the Knights, he was nothing.The day I was
