All Chapters of Ninety-Nine Wishes, One Broken Marriage: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Camilla and Charlotte met up outside a rustic home-style restaurant near Solara Gardens."Camilla, I got here fast, huh?"Charlotte hopped out of the car, panting, and hurried over to Camilla, who was already waiting outside the entrance."Where's Jeremy? How is he?" Camilla asked the moment Charlotte arrived."Uh, he's fine. I told him to wait for me at home. Come on, Camilla, hurry up. I want to get back for lunch! He made me so much food!"Charlotte tugged at Camilla's arm, urging her along.Camilla blinked in surprise."Jeremy actually cooked for you?"Charlotte tilted her chin up, a little puzzled by the question. "Hmph, why wouldn't he? He listens to me just fine!"Camilla's expression darkened at once. Jeremy would rather dump food out than let her eat it, yet he'd cook for Charlotte?Displeased as she was, she thought back to what she had just seen on the lock's app. Jeremy's fingerprint wasn't even registered in it anymore.The deletion timestamp lined up exactly wi

Camilla reached over and nudged Charlotte.Charlotte didn't react, though. She just kept watching as the servers brought out dish after dish.Grilled prawns, chicken stew, fish fillets…With every dish that arrived, Charlotte swallowed hard.Camilla's brow furrowed as she watched her sister.Those were just a few dishes of food. Why did Charlotte look like she'd been put under some kind of spell?Wasn't the food at the family dinner two days ago just as good as this?Out of everything on the table, only the fruit platter had any real creativity to it. The rest was, at best, ordinary.Then, when the last dish, which was a plate of grilled pork, was set down, Charlotte blinked in surprise."Huh? I didn't order this one."Angela reached over and pulled the dish toward herself, then said calmly, "This one's mine.""Oh…" Charlotte muttered, looking slightly unhappy. Her eyes darted back to the grilled pork again.She seemed thoroughly displeased that Angela had a dish of her o

Harriet nodded."That's right. It took quite some effort."Jeremy kept pestering me about it every single day, like I wasn't already trying to hurry. See, I brought it straight over to you the moment it was done."As she spoke, she reached out, trying to press the certificate into Camilla's hand.To her surprise, Camilla recoiled as if she had touched something filthy. She stumbled backward with both hands behind her back.Her eyes had gone red-rimmed."Mom, I made it perfectly clear at the family dinner that I never agreed to this. Who told you to go through with the paperwork?"Harriet flinched at the look on Camilla's face.She hastily picked up the certificate and poked her head out the door, glancing left and right.Once she was sure no one was around, she pulled Camilla inside and shut the door."Mom! Explain this to me!"Camilla wrenched her hand free from Harriet's grip, her eyes fixed on her mother.Harriet stumbled slightly from the force of it.She said with exa

Inside the clinic, Jeremy looked himself over. He was decked out head to toe in a full protective gown, with a sterile cap covering his hair and a mask over his face."Ms. Moore, is this the plan you had in mind?"Angela nodded."The Sloans have a lot of influence here in Greenvale, and you've left a heavy trail of your life here. There's no erasing that on short notice. You're better off staying right here at the clinic. It's the last place they would think to look. There's more than an 80 percent chance they'll never find you."Jeremy considered this for a moment.In two days, he would finally see Jane.If it turned out she wasn't his sister after all, then he could just leave Greenvale and never cross paths with the Sloans again.Jeremy said slowly, "Alright."…Inside a VIP ward in the cardiopulmonary department of Hope Hospital, the doctor put away his stethoscope.Camilla asked anxiously, "How is she?"The doctor answered respectfully, "Ms. Sloan, don't worry. Mrs. Slo

Harriet's eyes went wide."That's impossible!"She refused to believe it."It's got ginseng and some other rare medicinal herbs in it. Those are also sent to me every single month. Where would Jeremy even get that kind of money? It's absolutely impossible! Don't you try to talk him up on purpose just to make me think better of him. I don't like him, and that's final!"Camilla kept her head lowered, so her expression was unreadable, but there was a faint tremor in her voice."Those ingredients are far too potent to combine like that. Any beginner in the field would know not to mix them all together."Harriet let out a huff."You book-smart types have gone soft in the head. If it wasn't supposed to work, why haven't I had a single problem after all these years of taking it? All that theory means nothing. What matters is the actual results!"Camilla glanced up at her. The look in her eyes was the kind she would give when someone was being foolish.Harriet immediately bristled."
