Lahat ng Kabanata ng Wedded to the Ruler: My Contract Husband Gives It All: Kabanata 141 - Kabanata 150

Adhitama scanned the living room of Arsen's house. He picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of the tea inside.Setting the cup back down, Adhitama spoke, "As a fellow businessman, I have to take my hat off to you. You managed to build up ARS, which used to be nothing more than your grandfather's cast-off company on the brink of bankruptcy."Arsen stayed quiet, merely listening to Adhitama speak."I find it strange that Arya never once mentioned having such a successful younger brother to me." Adhitama pursed his lips and shrugged after speaking."To be completely honest, my men couldn't dig up any deep information about you. The details only went as far as what you allowed others to know," Adhitama noted.Arsen continued to listen in silence."I could have asked Arya, but the price is too steep; he would definitely demand another partnership contract with Mahesa."A slight smirk touched Arsen's lips. He was pleased that Adhitama knew just how cunning Arya could be."For a man

Juna turned around. He put on a bewildered expression, then walked over toward Aunt Jess."I'm looking for the bathroom," Juna replied.Aunt Jess looked at him suspiciously, but she didn't want to prolong the argument, knowing Juna was one of Lily's staff members.Aunt Jess then called over a maid who happened to be passing by and instructed her to show Juna to the bathroom.She remained standing in place until Juna and the maid's figures were no longer in sight.Aunt Jess decided to contact security, asking them to review the CCTV footage.After that, Aunt Jess went back to tending to her duties."Excuse me, are you going to wait?" Juna halted his steps upon reaching the bathroom."Can you find your way back on your own, Sir?" the maid asked politely.However, the maid was taken aback when Juna snapped back curtly."Do you think I'm a kid? I know the way back to where we were." Juna wore an irritated expression as he stepped into the bathroom.The maid merely bowed her head in silenc

Aunt Jess shook her head gently, disagreeing with Lily's accusation."I have served as a housekeeper for decades; there are house rules established by Mr. Arsen. I was merely carrying out what the Master commanded," said Aunt Jess."Please think about it, Miss. The multipurpose room is south of the garden, and there are plenty of bathrooms on the first floor. Why was the second floor his destination?"Lily contemplated Aunt Jess's words, which indeed made sense."Miss, Mr. Arsen has many people who harbor ill will toward him. The same might apply to you. I implore you to be cautious." Aunt Jess bowed slightly as she spoke to Lily.Even so, Lily did not want to immediately suspect Juna. It was entirely possible that Juna had merely wanted to look around Arsen's mansion and then got confused trying to find his way back."Um... I apologize if I was disrespectful to you, Aunt Jess. Thank you; I will be careful," Lily said.Aunt Jess looked at Lily. At first, she had expected Lily to be fu

At the police station...Sonia was still undergoing interrogation as a suspect.She was accompanied by the lawyer Bryan had appointed to handle the case she was currently facing.Once the questioning concluded, Sonia was granted permission to speak with her lawyer before being led back to the holding cell."Didn't Bryan tell you he wanted to come here?" Sonia asked."Mr. Bryan is extremely busy at the moment, so he probably won't be able to make it here," replied Alvian, Sonia's attorney.Sonia felt a wave of disappointment."I am still attempting to lobby Miss Lily's legal counsel to explore the possibility of an amicable settlement. It has been exceedingly difficult, and I cannot even get direct access to contact Miss Lily herself, so it would be best if you exercised some patience," Alvian added.When they finished talking, Sonia was escorted back into the temporary holding cell alongside four other detainees who had also just wrapped up their interrogations.Sonia walked behind th

Lily remained silent, hesitation apparent in her eyes."You've never told me why Sonia harbors so much hatred toward you. Enough to go as far as having an affair with Bryan?" Arsen asked. "Wasn't Sonia your high school friend? I received information that she had a penchant for bullying," he added.Instead of answering Arsen's question right away, Lily chuckled and took another bite of the salad her husband had made."Did you investigate me?" Lily asked."Mm..." Arsen answered honestly. "I even sought information from several alumni and teachers, but they claimed nothing had happened," he explained.Lily let out a soft sigh."Everyone covered it up because that kind of behavior is disgraceful and would tarnish the reputation of both the school and its alumni. You know full well what my school was like. You wouldn't get any information about ugly incidents from them," Lily said.Arsen nodded in understanding."In the beginning, I had no issues with Sonia; you could even say we were good
