Oops! My Ex-Wife Is Now My Boss のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Chapter TwelveEleanor's POVIt was a narrow escape getting out of the construction site.The moment Julian pulled the car away from the area, I finally let out the breath I had been holding. I reached up and removed the hard hat from my head, wiping the sweat from my forehead with the back of my hand.“I'm never doing this shit again in my life.” I dropped the hard hat beside me and leaned back against the seat. “Why the fuck do they even make furniture workers wear hard hats? What harm are they trying to avoid?”I turned to look at Julian, expecting him to agree with me, only to find him doing the same thing. His hard hat was already in the backseat, and a few strands of his hair had fallen out of place. Sweat trickled down the side of his forehead, and for some reason, I found myself staring longer than I should have.He looked really good.I quickly looked away when I realized what I was doing, but it was already too late.“How long are you going to keep staring?” Julian asked.Hi

Chapter FourteenEleanor's POVIf Adrian already knew about the miscarriage, I didn't think he would have come here to ask me about it like this. There was something about the way he looked at me that made it clear he knew something had happened, but he didn't know what.“These are the issues, Adrian,” I sighed, rubbing my hands over my forehead. “If you knew something happened to me back then, so what? What exactly are you going to do about it? Tell me to come back?”He remained silent.“If I'd known you were going to be here, I wouldn't have come to see your father in the first place.” I shook my head and stepped away from him. “I have to go now. This place is quite far from where I stay. Greet your father for me later”I barely made it past him before his hand wrapped around my wrist.“Let me drive you home.”“I am perfectly capable of driving myself.” I pulled my wrist away from him, more angrily than I intended.I didn't understand myself anymore.I had spent so much time convinc

Chapter Sixteen Julian's POV It had been almost a full day since Eleanor handed the lawsuit over to Harrington's side, and I hadn't allowed myself to relax for even a minute. I had a few trusted men stationed around the construction site, keeping a close eye on everything that happened there. Their job was simple. Nobody was to remove the hidden furniture, destroy documents, move anything suspicious, or touch the storage area where we'd planted the cameras. If they had done any of that, they were definitely going to be in a more huge problem. I needed to know that everything remained exactly where we'd found it. Eleanor had given Harrington a list of conditions, and until they paid the amount agreed upon and followed through with the instructions, I wasn't taking any chances. I was heading back to the construction site myself when my phone rang. I glanced at the screen before answering. "Any changes?" I asked, keeping one hand on the steering wheel. "Nothing yet," one of the

Chapter EighteenEleanor's POVI arrived at the office the following morning, the entire building was already buzzing with the news. I was there to take up a few files since no one really knew who I really was. Harrington's company had begun losing value before the market even opened properly. Several clients had suspended their contracts, and two more companies had come forward with complaints about receiving furniture that didn't match what they had paid for. The news had spread faster than any of us expected, especially after the evidence was submitted to the police and the authorities began looking into the company’s procurement records.I stood in front of the large screen in the conference room, watching the reports change one after another while Julian sat beside me. The company’s stock had dropped sharply, and every new update seemed to make the situation worse for Harrington.One hidden identity was placed on the screen claiming she was the one who helped them catch him. I

Chapter Twenty Julian's POV I allowed her to sob against my chest while I stood there, quietly wondering who could have done this much damage to her. Eleanor had always been stubborn, proud, and far too determined to let anyone see her weakness, so seeing her break down in my arms made it obvious that whatever had happened had affected her more deeply than she wanted anyone to know. I couldn't stop myself from thinking about the man who had called her earlier. The moment she saw his name on her phone, I had noticed the change in her expression, and now that I was holding her like this, I couldn't help wondering if it was the ex I knew. What kind of person could hurt someone this badly and still have the nerve to call her afterward, especially after the mis carriage she has been dealing all by herself for a long time. Didn't he realize that he was probably the reason she was crying right now? My hand continued to move slowly over her back as we remained that way for several mi
