Jaden couldn't help but chuckle at her shyness, finding it endearing yet somewhat perplexing.As Rita hastily dressed herself, trying to regain some semblance of composure, she finally mustered the courage to ask the question that had been nagging at her. "Jaden, why did you... why did we... you know... why did you still sleep with me, especially now that we're divorced?"Jaden's expression softened as he met Rita's eyes. He took a moment to gather his thoughts before responding. "Rita, our physical connection has always been strong, and that doesn't simply disappear just because we're no longer married. It's not just about s*x for me. Being

Rita's heart skipped a beat when she saw Percy enter the mansion. She hadn't expected her to be among the guests at the party, and her presence only added to her anxiety. Jaden's cousin, whom she had never met before, seemed to share the same surprise as she glanced at Rita and then back at Percy.As the cousin approached them, a wave of unease washed over Rita. She knew she needed to handle the situation delicately and dispel any misconceptions about her intentions. Taking a deep breath, she plastered a smile on her face and greeted Jaden's cousin warmly."Hello there," Rita said, extending her hand. "I don't believe we've had the pleasure of meeting. I'm Rita, Jaden's... well, Jaden's wife."The cousin's eyes narrowed, suspicion evident in her gaze. She shook Rita's hand reluctantly, still sizing her up. "Wife, huh? That's interesting," she replied with a touch of skepticism.Rita felt a pang of discomfort, realizing that her true identity as Jaden's ex-wife was still hidden from Ja

"How dare you prioritize that girl over your own wife? Have you lost all sense of decency?"The guests' attention shifted from the commotion caused by Rita's fall to Jaden and his grandmother, their murmurs hushing as they absorbed the gravity of the situation. It became clear to everyone present that Rita was indeed Jaden's wife, and the realization weighed heavily on their conscience.Jaden's eyes widened, realization dawning upon him as he registered the disapproving stares from the guests. A pang of guilt shot through his heart, and he looked at Rita, who stood there, drenched and vulnerable, waiting for his support."I... I'm sorry, Grandma," Jaden stammered, his voice filled with rem

Rita handed over the recorded phone conversation to the police, accusing Noah and Percy of kidnapping. They were taken into custody for questioning.Inside the small, sterile interrogation room, Detective Rodriguez eyed Noah and Percy sternly. "Gentlemen, you're both aware of the serious allegations against you. Rita claims she has evidence of your involvement in the kidnapping. Care to explain yourselves?"Noah exchanged a tense glance with Percy before sighing heavily. "Detective, this is all a misunderstanding. We were never involved in any kidnapping. Rita is just trying to pin something on us."Percy nodded in agreement. "Absolutely, Detective. We may have had some disagreements with Rita, but kidnapping? That's a bit extreme."Detective Rodriguez leaned forward, his gaze unwavering. "Rita seems pretty convinced that you two are responsible. And this recorded conversation she handed over, where you discuss the 'plan' and even mention the victim's name, doesn't help your case."No

She desperately wanted to respond, but she realized she didn't have the strength to speak.As the haze of exhaustion blurred Rita's vision, she managed to raise her hand weakly in an attempt to signal Jaden.

Rita's eyes fluttered open, and she found herself in a dimly lit room. Percy was sitting beside her, concern etched on his face. "Rita, are you alright?" he asked, his voice filled with worry.She took a deep breath, her memories still swirling in her mind. "I... I remember," Rita whispered, her voice quivering. "I remember everything now, Percy."Percy's eyes widened, a mix of surprise and relief washing over him. "You do? That's incredible, Rita. What do you remember?"Tears welled up in Rita's eyes as she recounted the memories that had flooded back to her. "Jaden... the mountain... the kidnappers. I remember saving him, guiding him down the slope," she said, her voice trembling. "And the necklace, Percy. It was Jaden who caught hold of it, not you."Percy's expression darkened, his grip on the necklace tightening. "Rita, you don't understand. I... I did what I had to do to protect you. Jaden was too weak, and I couldn't let him have it. It was for your own safety."Rita looked at
Divorced my ex, proposed by billionaire Chapter 104 Unraveling Rita's Deceit
Percy intervened, shooing Noah away to buy some food for Rita. Percy had long desired to get rid of Rita but had always failed. She played the victim, revealing Jaden's information to Noah, aiming to gain his trust and work together to abduct Rita.Percy's patience had worn thin, and she saw an opportunity to finally unravel the tangled web Rita had woven. As Noah reluctantly left to fetch the food, Percy leaned in closer to Rita, her voice a low and dangerous whisper."Your little games won't work anymore, Rita," Percy hissed, her eyes piercing into hers. "I know your true intentions, and I won't let you manipulate Noah any longer."Rita's façade crumbled, her eyes darting around as if searching for an escape. She was cornered, and Percy knew it."You can't prove anything," Rita stammered, her voice shaky.Percy's lips curled into a sardonic smile. "Oh, but I can. You underestimated me, Rita. I've been gathering evidence of your deceit for quite some time now."Rita's defiance wavere

Rita's head spun as she tried to make sense of the situation. She blinked, trying to process the unexpected alliance between Noah and Percy. The room felt heavy with tension, and Rita's heart raced as she looked from Noah's eyes to Percy's determined expression."Rita, you have to understand," Noah began, his voice strained. "I never wanted any of this to happen. But you insisted on being with Jaden, and that tied your fate to his."Rita's eyes narrowed as she absorbed his words. "Tied my fate? What do you mean?"Percy chimed in, his tone calmer than Noah's, but equally serious. "Jaden possesses a power that could reshape the world, but it comes at a great cost. And you, Rita, unwittingly became part of that cost when you chose to stand by his side."Frustration bubbled within her, and she clenched her fists. "So, what? You two decided that locking me up was the solution? That destroying Jaden would somehow fix everything?"Noah's gaze softened, but his grip on his emotions remained t

Percy visited the hospital to see Jaden. He told her that he had completely lost patience with her and warned her that if she dared to harm Rita, he would not spare her.Percy pa*sionately questioned how Jaden could treat her like this, forgetting that she had saved his life.Percy's words hung in the air, tension thickening with every pa*sing second. The sterile hospital room seemed to close in on them, its cold white walls reflecting the emotional turmoil that swirled within. Jaden's gaze remained fixed on the floor, unwilling to meet Percy's accusatory stare."Percy," Jaden finally spoke, her voice barely above a whisper, "I know you're angry, and I understand why. But you don't understand the complexity of the situation."Percy clenched her fists, struggling to contain her frustration. "Complexity? Jaden, Rita is innocent in all of this. She's been through enough, and she doesn't deserve your wrath."Jaden's eyes flickered briefly, a hint of regret fleeting across her features. "Y

Rita and Jaden sat across from each other in Jaden's spacious office, a map of the exhibition area spread out before them. "This powder might hold the key to unraveling the mystery," Rita mused, her brows furrowed in concentration.Jaden nodded, his eyes fixed on the map. "It's clear that someone intentionally tampered with the dresses. But why? And how does it connect to the models' asthma?"Rita leaned forward, her fingers tracing the outline of the exhibition booths. "The powder could be a trigger, something that aggravated their asthma and caused the accidents. But who would want to harm them? And why would they target the wedding dresses?"Jaden leaned back in his chair, his expression thoughtful. "We need to find out who had access to the exhibition area that night. Let's start by reviewing the surveillance footage."Rita nodded and pulled out her tablet. "I've already instructed the team to retrieve the footage. We should have it soon."As they waited, Jaden's gaze drifted to a

Percy leaned in, her voice a mere whisper, "Rita, think about it. With your parents' connections, we could make a difference. Save Jaden's company, his reputation."Rita's eyes flickered with a mix of uncertainty and determination. "But Percy, it's not that simple. I can't just walk away from Jaden when he needs me the most."Percy's brow furrowed. "Rita, I understand your loyalty, but we're talking about saving everything he's worked for. And your children's future too. This might be the only way."Rita shook her head, her voice growing firm. "No, Percy. I can't turn my back on him.
