Wanda sat quietly inside the car as the city lights passed outside the window.

Her expression was tight, and the fingers resting on her lap were clenched together.

The gala event had ended almost thirty minutes ago, yet her chest still felt heavy.

And the reason was simple.

Ramon.

Throughout the entire event, he never looked at her. Not that he used to anyway, but today had been worse.

She was completely invisible in his eyes and also to every other person at the hall.

And all because of Kelsey

    Meanwhile...Kelsey slowly opened her eyes.Warm afternoon sunlight filtered through the curtains, filling the bedroom with a soft golden glow.She stared at the ceiling for a brief moment before slowly turning her head.She was in her bedroom at the Ivory Mansion.Unlike the first time she had woken up earlier that day, her mind was much clearer now.The family doctor had already examined her, given her medicine, and explained that the drug she had inhaled had severely weakened her body. She had only managed to stay awake for a short while before exhaustion pulled her back to sleep.Now, after several more hours of rest, she finally felt a little stronger.Much better than before."You're awake."Ramon's deep voice broke the silence.Kelsey turned toward him.He was sitting in the chair at the side of the room, quietly watching her.The untouched documents on the small table beside him made it obvious he hadn't been working. It seemed he had been sitting there for quite some time, ev

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 113: The Truth Comes Out

    Ruby didn't say a word. She simply stared at Mary, carefully studying her expression. Jason misunderstood her silence. He thought she still didn't believe him. "Ruby, I'm telling you the truth." His voice was anxious. "Matteo is my late brother's son. Mary is my sister-in-law." Ruby still didn't respond. Her eyes never left Mary. Jason turned around and waved at her. "Mary, come here." Mary's heart skipped a beat. She stood where she was for a few seconds before slowly walking over. Every step felt heavy. When she stopped beside Jason, she swallowed nervously several times. "Is he telling the truth?" Ruby asked seriously. Mary lowered her head. "...Yes." Her voice was soft, and she didn't dare look Ruby in the eyes. Ruby stared at her for a long moment. Then she suddenly laughed. It wasn't a happy laugh. It was bitter. "So..." she asked calmly, "why did you tell me in the restroom that Jason was your husband?" Mary's face instantly turned red with embarrassm

    Ruby stood still, looking at the woman who had just entered.She didn't need to think twice to know why she was here.The woman had probably followed her.After what Jason did outside, it was only natural that she would come looking for her.But Ruby didn't want to hear whatever she had to say. She simply wanted to leave.Just as she took a step forward, the woman calmly moved and blocked her way."Ruby?" the woman asked softly with a gentle smile, as though she wanted to confirm her name.Ruby's expression remained calm. The woman already knew her name, so there was no need to pretend."Yes," Ruby answered calmly. Then she asked, "And you are?"The woman smiled even more gently. "I'm Mary."Ruby raised an eyebrow.That was all?Shouldn't she have said she was Jason's wife?"You know, I didn't expect us to meet like this," Mary said softly. "After all these months."Ruby looked at her. "What do you want to say?"Mary's smile slowly faded. "I thought we should have a conversation."She

    It was the weekend...Jason stood outside Ruby's apartment as early as the first light of morning. The flowers in his hand were shaking slightly. His expression looked worse than it had the night before when he had come to see her again but was chased away.She had even blocked his number.He had barely slept. All night, he kept replaying her words in his mind."Let's end this.""I don't want to continue this relationship anymore."He still couldn't understand.Ruby had loved him. He wanted to believe that she did.She had accepted him despite his quiet personality. She had never complained that he wasn't romantic enough or confident enough.So why?Why did she suddenly break up with him?Jason knocked again."Ruby." His voice was softer this time. "Please open the door. Whatever the problem is, let's talk it out."There was no answer.He lowered his head and looked at the closed door in front of him. She had even changed the password."I love you so much. Please give me another chanc

    The private room door exploded open with a deafening crash.A man dressed in a black bodyguard suit rushed in at incredible speed.His sharp eyes swept across the room before landing on Kelsey."Mrs. Holloway!" he shouted in shock.Urgent footsteps immediately followed behind him.The bodyguard's expression turned icy. Without hesitation, he charged toward the three men holding Kelsey and forced them away from her.Several bodyguards rushed into the room at once."Don't move!"The three men, who had just been thrown to the ground by the first bodyguard, froze in shock.Laura's face instantly turned pale.Before anyone could react, another figure rushed into the room.Ramon.The moment his eyes landed on Kelsey, his entire body stiffened.Kelsey was lying on the floor now that the three men were no longer holding her up.Her eyes were closed.A trace of blood stained the corner of her lips.The first button of her shirt had been torn open."Kelsey!"He snapped out of his shock and rush

    The room fell into complete silence. The three men slowly surrounded Kelsey from different directions. Laura folded her arms across her chest, the corners of her lips curling into a smug smile. She waited to see fear on Kelsey's face, but she saw nothing. Kelsey stood calmly where she was. Her cold eyes swept across the three men before finally resting on Laura. A faint smile appeared on her lips. "Coward," she said indifferently. "That's what you are." Laura's smile stiffened. "What did you just call me?" Kelsey's expression remained indifferent. "A coward." She looked Laura straight in the eyes. "You couldn't even face me yourself." Her gaze shifted toward the three men. "You had to hide behind them," she continued as though nothing was about to happen. "You've always been like this. You let other people dirty their hands while you stand back pretending you're innocent." Laura's face darkened. Her breathing gradually became heavier. "You've never had the coura
