CHAPTER 56

The investigation was immediately closed just days after what happened to Arthur. The truck driver who crashed into him was also dead, and Martha didn’t bother to file a case against the company that owned the vehicle.

“The cellphone wasn’t among the things recovered from Sir Arthur during the rescue operation. We’re still looking for it.”

The weight on her shoulders grew heavier. There was so much she didn’t know. She had settled into the idea that she was the reason for her stepfather’s coma.

She paced back and forth in front of him.

“Who was he talking to? That person is definitely responsible for all of this, Wulf.”

“We’re getting there, Kitten. We have a list of suspects, but we need evidence.”

“Martha—”

“She’s one of the suspects,” he agreed with her accusation.

“Who else could have done it but her?” Her anger towards the woman surged again. Wulfric reached for her hand, gently stroking it, slowly calming her down.

“We’re also looking for Eldrige, Sir Arthur’s secret

    CHAPTER 57She stopped herself from grabbing Eva’s hair and letting her jealousy take over.With no strength left in her, she turned away and followed Angus.The boy was startled when she entered, having just arrived there moments earlier."Did you find it?" she forced a smile, though her chest tightened with each breath."Y-Yes," Angus replied hesitantly. He kept glancing behind her as if expecting someone else.She stepped closer and extended her hand to him. "Shall we go?"He remained frozen, staring at her hand."Is something wrong?""Have you seen Papa?"Her chest felt even heavier with his question. "Yes, I did. Now, shall we go? Earl and Lottie are waiting for us."The boy stepped back, his brows furrowing. "You saw my mom with Papa.""Yes," she said, keeping her voice calm, though her heart ached."Why are you still being nice to me? Are you pretending and just waiting to hurt me when no one is looking?!""No, Angus. I’m kind to you because I want to be," she answered softly.

    CHAPTER 58[CHANNING KIDS]"Maybe you helped your bad mom hurt our momma," Charlotte said angrily, glaring at Angus, who sat quietly in the corner like an innocent child.Rufus had sent them to the villa after the doctor confirmed that their Momma was going to be fine."Daddy already scolded him, Lottie. Stop it," Earl said gently.Lottie’s eyebrows nearly touched as she crossed her arms."Why are you being nice to him? He hates us, Earl. He really hates Momma too. Momma didn’t do anything to him, and yet you still protected him earlier?""Momma said we should make friends.”"I don’t want him to be my friend. Momma was kind to him, and all he did was help his bad mom hurt her. Are you jealous because we’re Daddy’s babies? Do you just want Daddy all to yourself? Daddy said you’re his baby too, so why are you mad at us?"Angus remained silent, his head bowed. This only made Lottie angrier. Her small fists clenched as she glared at him."If anything bad happens to our Momma, I’ll never f

    CHAPTER 59The case she filed against Martha had officially reached the court. As the lawyer had predicted, Martha countered with the argument that she was Arthur’s legal guardian. Their first hearing was set for the following week.She hadn’t heard a single word from Martha’s camp, which only added to her worries. Even Catherine, who typically threw fits every time Elizabeth was involved in any trouble, had remained surprisingly quiet."At least the twins get along with Chairman Channing," Cecil mused aloud.She sat beside Cecil, who was arranging flowers. The room had come to life since the two of them began keeping watch over Sir Arthur.“Cecil, have you ever met Chairman Channing?”The older woman shook her head. “No, but they must have been friends. I remember Arthur mentioning him a few times. Why do you ask, Liz?”“I’m just curious about Mr. Eldridge. He knows we have plenty of resources to cover Papa’s medical expenses, but he still insisted on me marrying the Channing.”“Mayb

    CHAPTER 60 Channing's men found Eldridge in Kochi, Japan. He had been moving from one hiding place to another until he ended up in that location. Channing’s team had a confrontation with another group before finding Eldridge’s lifeless body inside an old apartment.Elizabeth feared the bad news might affect Sir Arthur. Eldridge had been with him for years and certainly knew many things—perhaps the very reason someone was after him. She couldn't stop wondering who might have killed him. Martha certainly didn’t have the money to afford someone to track Eldridge constantly. Martha was now relying solely on her maternal siblings for support.“Daddy!”Elizabeth peeked out when she heard the children’s excited voices in the living room.“We’ll take care of things here. Go greet your husband, Liz,” Melba teased her, along with the other helpers.“Let’s set the table.”“Oh, come on, ma’am, don’t be shy. It’s normal for a wife to welcome her husband home,” another helper teased, causing them

    CHAPTER 61“E-Eli…za…b-beth…”Elizabeth grasped her father’s hand tightly, nodding as tears welled up in her eyes. His gaze was filled with emotion, and though he tried to speak again, only a raspy sound escaped him.“Yes, it’s me. I’ve missed you so much, Papa.”She gently touched Arthur’s cheek as tears began to fall from his eyes. Despite his frail state, he motioned for her to come closer, signaling for a hug, which she immediately embraced.They held each other tightly, and Arthur gently stroked her hair as if she were his own child. Elizabeth then began to tell him about her children, and she could see the eagerness in his eyes to meet the twins.“This will be your office once you’re introduced to the rest of the employees,” Shanaya, the former secretary of Martha, said as she led Elizabeth into the CEO’s office. Shanaya spoke softly, her demeanor warm and gentle. Elizabeth thought she might want to keep her as her secretary if she agreed.“Do you still have contact with Auntie

    CHAPTER 62She was stunned by what she just heard. But before she could question Martha, the police had already pulled her away. Elizabeth stood there, utterly shocked by what she had just learned.She was Arthur’s daughter? A child born out of sin?“Kitten…”Tears streamed down her face as she lifted her eyes to meet his.Wulf’s expression softened, and he cupped her cheeks gently. “What happened?”She shook her head, her lips trembling as a sob escaped. Without thinking, she buried her face in his chest, forgetting her previous attempts to distance herself from him.Martha wouldn’t have said something like that out of nowhere. She had always called Elizabeth a “bastard,” but Elizabeth had never understood why. Now that she was putting the pieces together, she felt utterly lost.“You’re struggling to breathe, Kitten. Stop crying now,” Wulfric whispered, his hands tenderly caressing her face, occasionally placing soft kisses on the tip of her nose.“He… he’s so unfair. Why didn’t he te

Now explain this whole mess of divorce papers you submitted. I'm going insane here, woman!"Thankfully, the patio was far enough from the house; otherwise, everyone inside would have been disturbed by Wulfric’s outburst."I'm setting you free from this marriage. I'm sure you never wanted this in the first place. Neither did I.""Who told you that?!"She scowled. "It’s the truth. It was just an arrangement between our families. What else are you complaining about?""You're unbelievable!""Just sign the papers. Don't worry, I’m not going to keep the kids from you.""Do you really think this is what’s best for our children?""They’re smart. They’ll understand.""But I won't!" He pointed to himself firmly. "I can’t understand why you'd submit that fucking divorce paper in the first place."She mentally scolded herself for thinking

    CHAPTER 64"Are you two okay over there?" Cecil called out from the entrance of the patio.Wulfric didn’t even flinch. His cold gaze remained fixed on her."Y-Yes, we’re fine," Elizabeth managed to say, though her voice trembled slightly."You two were shouting. You woke up Arthur," Cecil added."I'm not bluffing, Kitten. I’ll kill her."A chill ran down Elizabeth’s spine. She stood there, frozen, as Wulfric's words echoed in her ears. Before she could respond, Cecil approached them."I don’t mean to interfere, but you shouldn’t be arguing like this at each other. You’re worrying Arthur upstairs," the older woman said, her eyes filled with concern.Elizabeth averted her gaze, unable to meet her husband's piercing stare.“We’re done talking, Cecil. Let’s go inside,” she muttered, trying to keep her voice steady.Cecil hesitated, casting a worried glance at Wulfric "You two should finish your conversation. I’ll take care of Arthur.""We're not done, Kitten," Wulfric’s voice sliced throu

Her best friend was a career woman, while she spent her days staring at the walls of a massive mansion.“Don’t be sad. Talk to Alpha again and tell him you want to work.”“I already did,” she said, shaking her head. She wanted to push her husband further, but how could she when even his shadow was nowhere to be found?She and the kids had been staying at the manor for several days, and during those three days, her husband hadn’t come home even once.“I’m sure you two will make up. Your husband loves you so much.”“He doesn’t trust me. He even accused me of having an affair with the Chairman. I’m not Eva. I would never stoop to her

Saying something like that to Angus felt like treating the boy as a dog that could simply be given away.“I love Momma and Papa. But you’re my father, Chairman. Papa Wulf may not like it.”“Use your brain, kid. I’m giving you an idea to have a complete family. Your mother isn’t coming back.”“Don’t you like me, Chairman?”The sad tone of his brother’s voice made Wulfric’s jaw tighten. He could tell Angus was holding back tears and struggling not to break down.“You’re a bastard. There’s no place for you—”Wulfric’s patience snapped. He kicked the door open with force. His fists clenched as he stormed toward the two, and both frozen in shock at his sudden appearance.“You motherfucker! Heartless old man!”“We’re having a conversation, Nikolaus Wulfric. I didn’t ask you here to my office,” Chairman Channing said coldly.“Fuck your rules.” Wulfric pointed at Angus. “He’s

A sharp gasp escaped Elizabeth as her husband raised his hand, ready to punch his father.“Wulfric!”His eyes blazing with anger. Despite her fear, Elizabeth grabbed his arm and pulled down his clenched fist. But Wulfric yanked her down the stairs without care, his long strides dragging her along. The pain in her injured foot worsened with every step.Tears threatened to spill, but she bit them back and endured the ache.When they reached the car parked near the front door, Wulfric practically shoved her inside.“We’re going home,” he said coldly.“But you already agreed the kids and I could stay here tonight.”“That was before I saw you talking to Cairus!” he snapped, walking around to the driver’s seat.“He’s your father. My father-in-law. The children’s grandfather!” she reasoned, listing the obvious but none of it seemed to sink in.“I don’t want you talking to him. Or to any other man!”Elizabeth flin

He grabbed her wrist, and nearly twisted it as he forcibly pulled her away from the older woman’s hand.“Let go of my mom!” Angus wailed and kicked the man’s legs in a desperate attempt to free her.The child’s cries grew louder when the man shoved him to the floor.“Uncle Itho, you're hurting our cousin!” Francheska screamed, before rushing to Angus’s side.Logan and the other cousins quickly stepped in, shielding Elizabeth from further harm. Holand seized Itho’s arm and yanked him away.“Stay away from Lady Channing,” Holand said coldly, his voice sharp enough to cut through the chaos.“You’re just a servant of the Chairman,” Itho sneered.Holand moved closer, his presence chilling the room further

    CHAPTER 88 More than half of the guests were strangers to Elizabeth. When she was introduced as Wulfric’s wife, a few raised their brows, giving her a once-over from head to toe.Others, however, welcomed her warmly. Logan had been right—Chairman Channing’s distant relatives were traditional in their thinking. On the other hand, her husband’s generation was the complete opposite of their parents.“You should come with us, Lizzy!” Francheska exclaimed enthusiastically. She was Logan and Suzane’s sister, all three being second cousins to her husband on his father’s side.“Don’t influence my wife, Cheska. I know exactly what you’re up to,” Wulfric warned. His arm firmly wrapped around Elizabeth’s waist.“You’re such a killjoy, Wolfy.”“Don’t push it, Ches,” Logan said with a laugh. “Wulf could cut your allowance.”Francheska pouted dramatically, hooking her arm around Elizabeth’s and leaning on her as if pleading.“Wolfy is so grumpy,” she whispered that made Elizabeth stifle a giggle.

His nose brushed against the curve of her neck as he inhaled deeply. He had been craving the scent of her skin all evening.“It’s soundproof,” he murmured.“Even so…”He tightened his grip on her waist. “I can do whatever I want with you here, Kitten.”She gasped softly as his hand slid up the high slit of her gown.Men’s eyes would undoubtedly linger on Elizabeth’s creamy legs and delicate neck tonight—both of which needed his mark.Elizabeth winced as Wulfric’s lips grazed the sensitive curve of her neck, his hot breath sending a shiver down her spine.“Wulf…” she whispered, making him smirk with satisfaction.Her knees weakened as she leaned against him for s

Wulfric’s heart softened at the gesture, but the tender moment was short-lived as his gaze shifted to the staircase.Elizabeth came down the stairs, and his breath caught in his chest. His wife looked absolutely stunning in a gown that exposed her shoulders and back—no, no, no…His eyes searched for Suzane, ready to give her a piece of his mind for letting his wife wear such a revealing dress. It was too sexy. He could practically see her skin, her back—damn, he was going to lose all his blood.“Change your gown,” he barked out.Instead of complying, Elizabeth merely shot him a sharp look and gave him a mocking little sneer. His jaw clenched as thoughts of pinning her down on the bed flashed through his mind. Or maybe, they shouldn’t even go to Cairus’s birthday party. He knew he’d just end up jealous with every man who looked at her.Eli

You could manage Nick’s shares in the Empire. Fair is fair.”“Then do us both a favor and get out of my office so we can end this nonsense,” she hissed and stormed towards the door.But Logan stepped in her way to block the exit. “Sorry, Cousin-in-law.

Her heels clicking against the marble floor.The household staff greeted her nervously while bowing slightly as she passed. Their unease only grew when she flung her shoulder bag onto the couch with a loud thud.“Momma!”Her tension melted away at the sound of her children’s voices. All three were dressed in matching pajamas, and their sleepy faces lighting up at the sight of her.“Use the elevator!” she instructed when they began racing down from the third floor.She caught sight of their nanny, Melba, trailing behind them. She was trying to keep up with their excited energy.Elizabeth shot a glare at Wulfric as he stepped inside behind her, but she quickly turned away and strod
