Some hours later...

Before Kelsey realized it, it was already evening, and they were ready to leave for the family mansion.

She reluctantly left the room only to see Ramon waiting for her right outside.

"I was wondering what was keeping you," Ramon said softly.

His eyes moved from her face to her dress and then to her shoes. His gaze dimmed slightly.

"You aren't wearing the one I picked out for you."

Didn't she see it? he asked himself.

But the answer came immediately.

He was sure she had seen

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 85: A Sorry That Meant Nothing

    Ramon's words hung quietly in the dining room."I'm sorry."Kelsey looked at him for several long seconds. There wasn't the slightest change in her expression."Sorry?" She repeated the word slowly, as though tasting how meaningless it sounded.Kelsey folded her arms across her chest and looked straight into his eyes."What exactly are you apologizing for, Ramon?"He opened his mouth, but she didn't give him the chance to answer."Is it because you finally found out that your precious Wanda was the one who drugged you?" Her voice remained calm, but every word carried years of pain. "The same person you accused me of being.""She and I had nothing going on," Ramon corrected immediately. "Wanda was never precious to me."But Kelsey didn't care."Do you remember that day?" She nodded to herself. "I'm sure you do, but I'll remind you just in case you don't."She paused before continuing."You looked at me as if I was the most disgusting woman alive. You never even gave me a chance to expl

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 84: The First Apology

    When they arrived home, Ramon carried the sleeping boy upstairs while Kelsey quietly followed behind.After making sure Kendrick was sleeping peacefully, she wished him goodnight with a gentle kiss on his forehead before returning to her room.She closed the door behind her.Ramon stood outside for a long moment. He wanted to knock. He wanted to talk to her.In the end...He turned around and walked away.Some conversations couldn't happen that night....The next morning...Sunlight streamed through the curtains, filling the bedroom with a warm glow.Kelsey frowned slightly in her sleep.She slowly opened her eyes and blinked several times before turning to look at the clock on the bedside table.The moment she saw the time, her eyes widened."Oh goodness..."She quickly sat up. "It's this late already?"She had overslept.That had never happened before.She usually woke up much earlier, but today she had slept far longer than usual. Maybe everything that had happened yesterday had f

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 83: The Quiet Journey Home

    Nearly thirty minutes later...The mansion remained unusually quiet.The servants moved carefully through the hallways, afraid to make too much noise.Ramon stood by the living room window, staring outside without really seeing anything.His thoughts remained upstairs.Just then, soft footsteps came from the staircase.Everyone instinctively looked up.Kelsey was coming downstairs with Kendrick.The little boy held her hand tightly, while his other hand clutched his favorite toy car.The moment he reached the last step, he looked around."Grandpa." He smiled at Collins and hurried over to him. "Why is everyone so quiet?"Kelsey looked at her innocent son and quietly clenched her teeth.She hated that Kendrick had once been so close to Wanda.He had trusted her completely.But at the same time, she felt grateful that from now on, Kendrick would grow up under her care.If he had continued growing up under Wanda's influence, he would have become spoiled and irresponsible.It was obvious

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 82: The Weight of Truth

    Silence swallowed the dining room even after Wanda was long gone.No one moved or spoke.The only sound left was Kelsey’s quiet sobbing as she remained squatting on the floor.Her shoulders shook uncontrollably.Ramon stood a few steps away from her, his hands still clenched into fists. He wanted to comfort her, but he was afraid. He didn’t want her to be more angry.The entire room was still trying to recover from what had just happened.Finally, Collins broke the silence.“She actually did it.”His voice was low, almost absent-minded.“I still can’t believe it.”Venus lowered herself into her chair weakly. Her face was pale. Today had been one hit after another for her, and she really wanted to call it a day.“It doesn’t make sense,” she shook her head slowly. “Wanda… actually drugged your drink.”She paused.“And she even used Kendrick…”She couldn’t finish the sentence. The image from the security footage refused to leave her mind.Doris remained seated without saying a word.Her

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 81: A Mother's Fury

    The dining room fell into complete silence.Everyone was still trying to process Ramon's last words.Kelsey was the first to speak."What did you just say?"Her voice was calm, but there was uneasiness in her eyes.Ramon looked at her for a long moment. Then, without saying a word, he reached into his pocket and took out his phone. He unlocked it and opened a video.He took a step closer to Kelsey and handed the phone to her."See it yourself."Kelsey quickly took the phone.The moment the video started playing, everyone unconsciously moved closer.The footage was from the security camera inside the ice cream shop.The date at the top of the screen was the same day Kendrick had suffered his allergic reaction.The video showed Ramon, Kendrick, and Wanda sitting together.Everything looked normal until Ramon stood up to answer a phone call outside.The moment he walked toward the door, Wanda quickly reached into her handbag.Her hand came out holding a tiny packet.She gently rubbed her

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 80: Wanda's True Face

    The moment the police officers stepped into the dining room, the atmosphere changed completely.Collins, Doris, Venus, and Kelsey immediately stood up, realizing that this wasn't as simple as they had thought.Andrew, who was still sitting, adjusted his glasses in confusion."Who are they?""You called the police?" Wanda burst out, standing up so suddenly that her chair scraped loudly against the floor. She had never expected Ramon to involve the police. "What did I do to you?""What?" Andrew stood up as well, his face full of shock. "The police?"Ramon didn't answer either of them.He simply looked at the officers and said calmly,"Take them away."The maid's face instantly turned as white as paper.She trembled violently on the floor."Ramon..." Collins frowned deeply. "You can't do this without telling us what's going on."Ramon remained calm."I already reported what I suspected before coming back to the dining room." His eyes fell on the maid. "I wanted to give you a chance to te

    The moment Kelsey stepped out of Ruby's car, her eyes slowly lifted toward the large building standing not too far from the plantation fields. She didn't want to go into the building. She wasn't ready to face the Morgan family yet. That was why Ruby had stopped the car near the field instead. Th

    Kelsey remained silent inside the car after Ruby whispered the plan to her. Her brows stayed slightly furrowed as she processed everything Ruby had said. "Isn't that too manipulative and dangerous?" she finally asked softly. Ruby rolled her eyes immediately. "Please. Compared to what Wanda has be
