บททั้งหมดของ I Fell in Love with my Ex: บทที่ 501 - บทที่ 510

Alice sipped her coffee as she spoke with disdain, her tone filled with contempt, completely unaware that Elena; the very woman she was badmouthing; was also sitting in the café, hearing every insulting word she said.Elena didn’t know Alice and couldn’t understand why the girl harbored so much hostility toward her.But Elena wasn’t the type to simply turn the other cheek.Why should she remain silent and pretend to be above it all while someone dragged her name through the mud?Elena stood up and walked toward Alice, then gently tapped her on the shoulder.Alice turned around and found herself face-to-face with Elena, who was smiling at her.She had a vague feeling that she knew this woman, but she couldn’t figure out who she was.Alice asked irritably,“Who are you? And why are you touching my shoulder? Are you crazy or something?”Elena maintained her smile and answered without the slightest hesitation,“Oh, I’m that low-class woman Elena you were just talking about.”Silence fell

Deep into the night, while Elena was asleep, Asher was still working.Through his computer screen, he held a meeting with the senior executives of the Bennett Group.They were discussing a new expansion plan, and this time, their target was Brighton City.He knew that if Elena opened the door to communication with the Wright family, she would become deeply involved in Brighton City.And if he remained confined to Silverton city as before, it would only increase the distance between him and Elena.Meanwhile, at the Wright family residence, Alice couldn’t wait to return home and vent everything that was weighing on her after being humiliated.At the dinner table, her voice trembling and tears glistening in her eyes without falling, Alice appealed to her father for sympathy.“Dad, you have to stand by me.”Before Beckett could even ask what had happened, Daisy’s maternal instincts kicked in with fierce protectiveness.“Alice, who dared to bully you? Tell me, and I swear I’ll make them pa

Dawn arrived.As the sun rose, its rays spread across the earth, carrying away yesterday’s troubles and announcing the beginning of a new day.That morning, Elena woke up early.She was preparing to take Leah to the Wright Group to confront the man who was supposedly her biological father; the man who seemed to have hated her so much that he had wanted her dead.Elena knew very well that Leah hadn’t been sent by Beckett personally.But what difference did that make?Daisy was his wife now, and what she had done could, in one way or another, be considered an extension of his will.Elena wasn’t interested in the despair Beckett had endured in the past, nor in the circumstances that had driven him to make his decisions.To her, actions and consequences were all that mattered.The undeniable truth was that she had grown up an orphan while her father had known she existed all along, yet he had never once tried to find her.To say that she held no grudge against him would be an outright lie

Without saying another word, he listened as she began speaking.“The main reason I came here today is to ask you something: Just how much do you reallyhate me? After years of neglecting me, you’ve now started sending people to get rid of me.If you hated me that much, why didn’t you get rid of me from the beginning? Why wait untilnow?”As she spoke, Elena continued watching Beckett from the corner of her eye.As she had expected, the moment he heard her words, his expression changed.“What? Someone is trying to kill you? Who would want to do that?”Elena thought that her father probably knew nothing about it.At that moment, she didn’t know whether she should feel relieved that her own father had no intention of harming her.Perhaps she should have felt somewhat happy.But a smile was the last thing that could possibly appear on her lips.Elena let out a cold, mocking laugh.“You don’t know, Mr. Wright? It seems you don’t have complete control over the Wright family.”Beckett regain

Once she obtained it, she could merge it with Elena’s Fashion Design Company and move its headquarters to Brighton City, another strategic step toward strengthening her growing empire.Beckett was rendered speechless for a few moments as he tried to figure out what the appropriate response would be.“All right.”After a long pause, he finally agreed, but he became more cautious about leaving Elena any room to ask for more.It wasn’t that Beckett was stingy, but generosity came with consequences. With Elena only recently returning to the public eye, giving her too many assets would arouse suspicion and could open the door to difficult questions; not only from Daisy and Alice, but also from other interested parties within the Wright family.Beckett wasn’t worried about himself, but he didn’t want to burden Elena with a host of enemies either. They had to proceed carefully.Beckett said,“I’ll have Malcolm prepare the ownership transfer documents for both companies immediately. When are
