All Chapters of Ninety-Nine Wishes, One Broken Marriage: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

Madison nodded naturally.Suddenly, her expression turned strange, and she shot Jeremy an odd look."You didn't actually think Ms. Cooper would let a man like you touch her, did you? Don't get any wild ideas. She's not averse to men, but aside from Mr. Eric, she has never let other men get close."Jeremy froze.Mr. Eric?He couldn't help but ask, "Is Ms. Cooper adopted by any chance?"Madison looked at him like he had said something ridiculous."How could she be adopted? The whole family looks alike. You don't need a DNA test to know they're blood relatives."After she explained, her expression turned serious as she warned him, "Don't say things like that around here again.""I see…"Jeremy's heart sank.It seemed Jane might not be the sister he was looking for after all."Well, get some rest here. I've got things to attend to."As the estate's head housekeeper, Madison always had her hands full.Just as she was about to leave, Jeremy suddenly asked, "Do you mind telling

"This was handed to me personally by your mother, along with strict instructions that I am to have nothing more to do with you ever again. There is nothing between us anymore, nothing left at all. So tell me, why should I help you?"At that, Camilla's face darkened, and she snatched the divorce certificate right out of his hand.A tearing sound rang through the air as she tore it to shreds with her fair hands.With one final flick, she scattered the scraps across the floor.Camilla's expression turned cold as she spoke deliberately."I already told you that this was processed illegally. Our marriage certificate will be reissued soon enough. Legally, we're still husband and wife."Jeremy didn't spare a glance at the shredded certificate.He simply said calmly, "If you actually go through with that, I can just ask Ms. Cooper to help me get a real divorce from you instead."Camilla nearly thought she'd misheard him."What? You'd waste an opportunity like this on something like th

In the next second, a sudden force hit her, and she was shoved flat onto the bed.Her body bounced a couple of times upon the soft mattress. It didn't hurt, but it left her head spinning."I don't want to hear any of that. I can get you the targeted drug, but I have my own conditions."At that, Camilla, who was still lying on the bed, froze.After a moment of silence, she slowly sat up."I can promise you that once he's better, I'll keep my distance from him as much as I can. But he still has six wishes left, and I'll help him fulfill those. As for my family, I'll do my best to…"Before she could finish, Jeremy switched the light back on.With a click, the room flooded with light at once.Camilla instinctively squeezed her eyes shut.Jeremy looked at her.Camilla's clothes were in disarray. The fabric of her nightgown was slipping off one shoulder, baring a wide stretch of pale, delicate skin down to her collarbone.Her eyes were red-rimmed, and her cheeks a little hollow, w

Something flashed in her eyes, and she said through gritted teeth, "Jeremy, next time, even if you get down on your knees and beg, I won't let you touch me!"…At the banquet hall, row after row of tables were laden with a dazzling spread of food.Guests mingled and clinked glasses together. The atmosphere was truly lively.Up in the loft, Jane sat with a cat treat, playing with the cat in her lap.Just then, the head housekeeper, Madison, walked in."Ms. Cooper, the man who placed second in the trial, Zachary Larson, is asking to see you."Jane flicked the cat treat in her hand."What did he give you to make you break protocol and come ask me?"Having half expected as much, Madison held out Zachary's diagnostic report."This doctor's diagnosis and treatment plan were good enough that I had already been planning to let him pass the trial. Just now, he came to me again and said he had brought an injection with him. "He said that a single shot would be enough to cure you. I d

Then again, with Jeremy's personality, he'd always been quick to trust people.Jane had once thought she'd be able to go home soon. She never expected the delay would stretch past ten years.In all that time, how much had he suffered without her?Zachary scrambled to his feet, forcing a smile onto his face."See, there's n-no side effects at all."Jane shot him an indifferent glance. She was in no mood to say another word."Madison, see him out!"At that, Zachary's face changed."Ms. Cooper, didn't you say you'd use it once the test worked? You're going back on your word!"He lunged forward, desperate.After all, he had already paid the price. There was no way he'd let this go now!However, Madison stepped in front of him and blocked him."Guards, drag him away."The two guards outside the door came in and hauled Zachary away, with one on either side of him."No, you can't do this to me. You promised me!"Jane settled back onto the couch, her red lips curving up slightly
