2024-10-29 19:42:56"That's your perfume." He pointed out, finally comprehending what was going on. It was not just about her brand's design being copied; it was highly likely that it was Gem Bliss's exact perfume being advertised in the commercial.
"I want to know which brand produced it." She bit out through gritted teeth. She had expected this kind of thing when it was revealed that Rebecca was Yvonne's mole. She had said that it wouldn't matter but how could it not matter? It was her sweat and blood. The perfume's name was Écarlate so she looked it up and rolled her eyes when she saw the name of the store where it was available to order and purchase at the official stores. "What kind of crappy name is this?" YLA? What the hell was that? She had never heard of it and she liked keeping an eye on her competitors so she wouldn't end up losing out too much. "Wait. It's a new brand. My idea was stolen by a newbie?" She fumed. This was insolencRelated chapters

"Good morning, boss. You look happy today." Rebecca had the audacity to smile at Gemma when the latter arrived at Gem Bliss in the morning. She sure was fake. No wonder no one ever suspected her. She was an actual wolf in sheep's skin.Gemma paused in her steps with a brilliant smile. "It's indeed a good morning. I finally caught the little birdie that has been stealing my grain."Although she was talking about a bird, her tone made it obvious that it was not an actual bird. If Rebecca knew what she was talking about, she sure was good at hiding her true feelings. There was no hint of panic on her face. "I guess it's the birdie's unlucky day, then?" She continued with her brilliant smile."I'd say she is lucky. I wanted to rip all her feathers before hanging her upside down to die of suffocation but on second thought, I'll let her die with her feathers intact.""That's kind of you, boss." Rebecca smiled and looked at her screen. "Miss Yvon

Gemma cooked with her mother as they talked about random topics, Livian taking up most of the attention. Constance wanted to know about his family and what they had to say about the fact that their son was married to a widow. While she and William didn't think they would have minded it if their daughter married a widower, she knew that not everyone thought the same way.Society made it sound like a widow was different from a woman who had experienced a break up. It was as though just because she was a widow, she was bound to treat their son as the substitute to her dead husband."If they try to tell you any kind of crap, don't hesitate to tell me. I will shove their son along with their ridiculous beliefs up where the sun doesn't shine." Constance declared seriously.She looked like she would really do it. Gemma giggled. "Charles and Beth don't really care what their son does.""That's a relief." Constance smiled and looked at her daughter

"What are you talking about?" Gemma shot up from her seat in shock. "When did you find this out?""Could you calm down, Miss Arnaud?" Rudolf sounded just as exasperated and Gemma would have yelled at him if she was not tongue tied. What she wanted was answers, not to be told to calm down. How the hell was she supposed to be calm?"Speak." She prompted when it didn't sound like Rudolf was going to answer her."After finding out that she and Andrew had stolen the lipstick you set up, I bugged her personal cell phone so I would notice their moves if they had any other plans. She and Yvonne have not been meeting anymore and neither has she met Andrew in secret so I guessed that they must be exchanging calls and text messages. ""What's your point?" Gemma felt her head hurt. If the moles were planning to escape, she would need to move fast. They couldn't get away with what they did!"Yvonne transferred a lump sum to their accou
Evil Contract Wife CHAPTER 102
An hour ago.After reading Rudolf's text message, Gemma was puzzled. It didn't make much sense for Rebecca and Andrew to resign on the same day. Why did it sound like they were hiding something else?She dialled his number and gave him a call. "Is there something else to this?""I think they did something last night and want to hide their tracks urgently. Either that, or they are planning to do something. Miss Arnaud, you better be careful.""I will, thank you." She hung up and immediately turned on her laptop. If they had done anything, they would have been captured by the new drones that no one at the company knew about.She checked the surveillance and as expected, Rebecca was up to something. She had poisoned the lipsticks, which Gemma was only certain of because Rebecca was suspicious.There was no time to investigate and if she waited until someone used the lipstick, it might affect innocent consumers so she immediate
Evil Contract Wife CHAPTER 103
Getting rid of Rebecca and Andrew should have been satisfying but for some reason, Gemma felt nervous. She knew that it wouldn't take much more to pin Yvonne down but the closer she was to doing it, the more scared she was Yvonne could have come up with plans to counter her attacks.She read through all the information she could find about Yvonne. Her plan with Noah had not been successful because Gemma ruined it by exiling Olivia, but she could easily come up with another one.She scanned through all of Yvonne's details while highlighting anything that could be of help."What are you doing?" Livian appeared behind her and kissed her neck from the back.She smiled and swung her chair so she would turn around to face him. She had not been expecting him to drop by. "You are here."He kissed her lips gently. "My wife promised to be home soon but I got impatient waiting for her, so I decided to check on her." He feigned disapp
Evil Contract Wife CHAPTER 104
"I am not going to discuss such things over the phone with you." Gemma lazily leaned into her seat and put the phone on speaker to let Livian know that she had successfully driven Yvonne up the wall.Yvonne sighed audibly into the phone. "Fine. See you tomorrow at 10am. I'll pick you up from your office.""Oh no, you don't." Gemma shook her finger as though she was saying no to a little girl. "You don't get to decide where and when we meet. You will meet me at Gem Bliss's employee cafeteria at 1pm. I'll leave if you are one minute late."She hung up before Yvonne could answer her."Why would you meet her at your workplace?" Livian asked her when the call ended.Gemma placed her phone on the table and rushed over to him, sitting on his lap. She wrapped her arms around him and he held her waist to support her. "Because I intend to save as much time as possible. Besides, if she doesn't show up, I can just go back to work easily." She smi

"Drop your nonsense and get to the point." Yvonne was irritated.Gemma reclined in her chair while ignoring the latter's rant. She wanted to mess with Yvonne a lot more but she knew that if she took it too far, it might just bring out the opposite effect of what she desired.Yvonne glared at her and looked like she was about to leave and deal with it as enemies."I only have one condition, Yvonne." Gemma closed the menu and focused on the woman in front of her. "Stay out of my life and I will stay out of yours.""Fine." Yvonne rolled her eyes. "If that's all, I will be on my way now.""Not so fast." Gemma interrupted her before she could stand to leave. "If you change your mind and decide to cause any trouble for me, I will do the police a favor and help them catch you.""Whatever." Yvonne slung her handbag on her shoulder."I'll take that as a yes." Gemma yelled after her and laughed at the latter's frustr
Evil Contract Wife CHAPTER 106
After having their meal, Livian offered to walk Gemma to her office. He pressed the button for her floor and turned to ask, "How can you be certain that Yvonne's parents will not cause you any sort of trouble? You dealt with her but what about her supporters?"She didn't need to think about it. "She certainly doesn't want to risk offending me. She will convince her parents and supporters to stay away from me and if she doesn't, we might both go to hell but she will burn much harder." She was sure that no matter what skeletons she had in her closet, she couldn't beat Yvonne at it—not that she was proud of the comparison.She arrived to an email on her desktop. Yvonne had asked to call it a truce. That had gone much smoother than she expected and it couldn't get any better.She showed the email to Livian who looked pleased as well. "She agreed fast. It's a little too fast for a woman who vowed to turn the world upside down in her quest to seek ve

Wendy had her eyes shut when he opened the bathroom door."What's the result?" He asked.She didn't intend to tell him without playing a guessing game with him, which he quickly found out. Luckily, it was only a two choice option."Is it positive?" He asked hopefully. She shook her head.His mood dimmed in the slightest but he still asked, "Is it negative?"She shook her head, and he was baffled. Was she going to make him have a gazillion options even though it was a question of yes or no?He tried again. "Were you unable to take the test?"She shook her head to that too, and he was about to ma

It had been several weeks since Mia learned the truth about the past but it was not in the slightest bit easier to bear. It was still hard to imagine that the woman she had hated all her life was also the one who had saved her life. She had not had the courage to tell Carlos about it. Maybe he already knew the truth but kept it to himself. It was probably one of the things that would become clear with time and she was not willing to pry into them before they naturally unfolded. It made her feel guiltier because they were growing closer by the day.They had agreed to be friends but spent a lot of time together, doing things that friends definitely wouldn't ever do—not that she was complaining.On Friday evening, she went to his office as soon as she clocked out. This was how it had been for weeks. He would either seek her or she would seek him, every day. They would either have dinner together or he would drop her off. On weekends—like today—they would coo

“What in the world…” Gemma was rendered speechless by the insanity she had just heard. “Why the hell would such a rule even exist?”The elderly lawyer had no definite answer to that, because it was not he who had written the will nor had he set the rules that his granddaughter was finding absurd. He could only hypothesize. “The old man didn't want his bloodline to go extinct. He had to set some rules, and you are lucky that he did not specify that you must have a son before inheriting his estate.”Gemma sighed when she imagined that such a thing was possible. She had not known her grandfather when he was alive, because her family was yet to find her when he passed away. From the tales she had heard about him from her parents and grandmother, she knew that setting such an absurd rule did sound like something he would do.Even so, it still made no sense when she thought about it. “But I'm a w

Mia translated the document and while she didn't think there was anything secretive about it that would make Carlos unable to give it to someone else, she got the work done within the deadline nonetheless. It was the only way to get him to stop seeking trouble. She hated having to do everything he asked of her but he was the boss and there was nothing she could do about it. At least not yet.He was still sitting at his desk when she returned."That took you half an hour,." He remarked when he saw her.She placed the folder on his desk. "I'm done." She muttered, wondering why he sounded like he was complaining when he had given her two hours. She had not even taken up half of the allocated time. Was he going to scold her for being too fast?"Thank you." He half whispered. It was the first time he was appreciating anything she did and she was baffled."You're welcome." She smiled. He was smiling back at her and for the first time as well. She not

She thought he would ask to spend more days of the week with her or something along the lines but what he said surprised her."Promise me that you will sue Declan and that you will definitely go through with it no matter what happens."She frowned. "How is that paying you back? It's in my favor either way." She looked at him in confusion. Did he have a misunderstanding about the meaning of paying back?"It does pay me back. It's a win-win situation for both you and me."She thought hard about it and still couldn't understand how that was remotely possible."Is it because the man who hurt the woman you love will be behind bars and you will no longer have to see his face around? or, do you have personal grudges with him? Are you planning to use his term in prison as a way to end him?He smiled at her vivid imagination. "It's nothing of the sort. Well, those would be added benefits of putting him behind bars but the main reaso

"You are so beautiful." Livian ran his hand down her shoulder and kissed her cheek. She would have thought that he was just saying it to get on her good side but when she met his gaze, she had to believe that he truly meant it. His eyes were filled with adoration and if it was humanly possible, his attraction for her seemed to have intensified after what they had just done.She purred like a comfortable kitten when he kissed her cheek. She was lying against his chest with her body half sprawled against his. She pulled her knee up against his thigh and it drove him crazy. He groaned in pleasure."You are insatiable." She chuckled. They had done it twice in a row and she was beginning to realize that it didn't take much for him to be hard again.He wrapped his arms around her waist and chuckled against her neck. "Who am I to blame for that? If the wife is too sweet, is it the husband's fault that he got addicted to her sweetness?"She looked

Liam and Wendy had a shotgun wedding and it was baffling to everyone. The first thing they had to do was fulfill a part of the contract, which was for Wendy to make an appearance in the Dumont family as his wife.Their plan was to pass off as a real couple but they were shocked when they found out that Gemma was not falling for it."The two of you broke up two years ago, didn't you?" She questioned them."We reconciled and realized that we didn't want to risk losing each other again, so we decided to get married." Liam held her hand.Gemma chuckled. "Or, Liam had his assistant get him a suitable wife for hire so he would be able to access the trust fund from his great grandmother and since his assistant couldn't get a suitable woman, you decided that it would be more believable if it was you and him getting married." Gemma teased."That's not…" Wendy didn't know how to defend herself."It's okay. It's perfectly
Evil Contract Wife CHAPTER 167
She was certain that if she chose to agree to the contract marriage, the money she would earn would be enough to pay all her debts including her rent. Forget paying rent. Even if she wanted to purchase the entire estate and kick the landlady out of the apartment complex, she would have the power to do so.She was only in such a predicament because she had a falling out with her parents and decided to leave.It was impossible to count the number of bosses and managers who had tried to take advantage of their position to sexually harass her.Even so, she did not regret her decision, nor was she going to bend her will for that man. She shrugged. Many of her problems would be solved once she received her salary from the diner.After eating her snacks, she took a shower and prepared to go to bed.…It was already 7pm and the traffic couldn't get any crazier. Wendy was already an hour late for her evening shift and she kne

Evenings were the busiest time of the day at the diner and when Wendy was finally done with her work for the day, it was already 7pm. Even so, she couldn't leave until her replacement who would be working the night shift arrived since it was a 24 hour restaurant.She glanced at her pocket watch in irritation. Alma, that bitch, was late again. What irked her was the fact that she knew Alma disliked her and she was doing it on purpose like she always did whenever she had to take over the night shift from Wendy.Clara had already changed out of her work uniform and sent it to the laundry, so she was ready to go. She offered a smile at Wendy as she made her way towards the back door. "Want to go home together? My boyfriend will pick me up. We can give you a ride. Go on and change, I'll wait for you."Wendy looked up from the orders she was preparing for a couple and their daughter, returning the smile. "It's alright. I'll take the subway." She was gratef
