Heiress Return: Revenge Of The Crippled Ex-Wife CHAPTER 52
Clarence’s POV. Seeing Kristina leave because Julian didn't allow her to bully me, I had to walk away too. Proceeding to sit comfortably until then the ceremony will come to an end. After the ceremony ended, I moved through the crowd, exchanging polite smiles and handshakes. I was about to decide on heading home for the night when I spotted them, Damon and Gina. The air around me immediately seemed to tighten. My stomach became tense, but still, I kept my expression steady. “Clarence," Damon drawled, a smirk tugging at his lips. "Quite an achievement. Congratulations." I met his gaze, refusing to give him the reaction he wanted. Gina's eyes flickered with amusement as she swept her gaze over me. "Success looks good on you," she mused. "Unfortunately you don't know it barely lasts long for people like you. That little…incident earlier—did you enjoy it?" My jaw tightened. "Don't tell me that was your doing." She let out a light laugh, shaking her head. "Please, Clarence.

Gina’s POV. I stepped out of my car the moment I arrived at the parking lot of the so-called company Clarence had established, my expression freezing in shock as I took in the sheer grandeur of the building before me. My lips parted slightly, unable to hide my surprise. This was nothing like what I had imagined. I never believed Clarence could own something this magnificent. When my mother and Damon spoke about her company, I assumed it was just some small business—barely surviving, something she was managing temporarily until she inevitably failed. But this… this was not what I expected. My fingers tightened around my purse as irritation surged through me. No, there was no way she built this on her own. Someone must have helped her. I took a deep breath, pushed my irritation aside, and stormed inside, my heels clicking loudly against the polished marble floors. I did it on purpose, making sure every step echoed through the large space, drawing attention to myself. If I was goin

Clara’s POV. I glanced at the meeting schedule again, my eyes scanning the paper for the hundredth time as if the numbers would suddenly change and show me that I hadn’t been waiting as long as I had. But the truth was right there in front of me—I had been sitting here for two hours. Two whole hours. Clark Wilson had never made me wait this long before. Not once. That alone told me something was wrong. Either he was deliberately ignoring me, or his secretary hadn’t informed him that I was there. Whichever it was, I didn’t have time for this. I needed to see him today. This was urgent. Clarence was becoming a problem. A serious problem. Ever since she got back on her feet, she had been showing a resilience I didn’t expect. A resilience that was beginning to get under my skin. I couldn’t allow it. I needed Clark to do something about it. And if he wouldn’t come to me, then I would go to him. Standing abruptly, I grabbed my bag and stormed out of his office, my heels

Clarence’s POV. I let out a deep sigh of relief, finally wrapping up the day's work. Reviewing products, checking designs, going through invoices—it was all exhausting. But it had to be done. I needed to make sure everything was on track. This company had already suffered one major scandal, and I wasn’t about to let it happen again. Ever since I started managing things, I had been extra careful. The company had made a lot of progress since the illegal loan controversy finally quieted down, but there was still so much to do. I couldn’t afford to slack off, not when Julian had invested so much to keep it afloat. It was my responsibility to ensure we didn’t lose anything. Picking up my phone, I called my secretary. “Come to my office before I leave.” I stacked the reviewed documents into a neat pile, making sure everything was in order. Then, I reached for my shoes in the corner, slipping them on before putting my flats back in their place. They were my lifesavers at work—I could

Clarence’s POV.Receiving the court summons two days ago hadn’t scared me. I had always known that the matter between me and my family would end up in court. In fact, I was the one planning to take them to court first. What I hadn’t expected was that they would beat me to it, making the first move. It was almost amusing—breaking the so-called family tradition they had clung to for years. The tradition that made them kick me out.That night, instead of calling them to demand an explanation or accusing them of betraying our so-called traditions, I had done something they never would have expected. I poured myself a glass of wine, leaned back in my chair, and quietly celebrated. They had saved me the trouble. They had made my decision for me. This was exactly what I wanted. I had even gone as far as paying one of my aunts—Aunt Angel, who happened to be a close friend of my stepmother—to plant the idea in her head. It worked perfectly. They had no idea how prepared I was, no idea tha

Clarence’s POV. When I woke up, the first thing I noticed was the blinding white ceiling above me. The smell of antiseptic filled my nose, and the distant sound of beeping monitors told me exactly where I was—a hospital. My body felt heavy, my limbs weak, but I was alive. I turned my head slightly, and my driver was seated beside me, looking deeply worried. The moment our eyes met, relief washed over George’s face, and he leaned forward quickly. "Ma'am, you're awake," he said with concern. I swallowed, my throat dry. "What... what happened?" My voice came out hoarse, and I tried to sit up, but a dull ache ran through my body. He sighed heavily before answering. "You called me and it seemed you were trapped. I tried calling you after you suddenly ended the call, but you didn’t pick up. Then the power suddenly went out. That’s when I knew something was wrong." His words sent chills down my spine. "I tried opening the elevator, but it wouldn’t work. That made me even

Julian’s POV.Clarence’s message sat on my screen, a simple request that somehow unsettled me. I was just returning from treating a long-time patient I couldn't abandon after joining the company."Please, can we meet up? It's urgent.”I stared at the words, reading them over and over again, trying to figure out why she would reach out to me wanting to meet up at this time of the night. She had told her secretary to tell me she was getting off work after securing the deal with the company. A dozen scenarios ran through my mind, each one making less sense than the last—until I landed on the worst possibility. What if something had happened to her? It didn't make sense that she had asked me not to come to the factory because she was already gone just waiting thirty minutes. She had left, causing me to turn around and head back to work to finish my piled-up documents.That thought alone had me grabbing my coat and heading for the door without hesitation. The night was cold as I stepped

Clarence’s POV. I stared at my phone screen, sighing when I heard the automated message again. The number you have dialed has been turned off. Julian had shut off his phone. I swallowed, gripping my phone tightly. Was this how much he hated me? That even after I had gathered the courage to text him, and also call him at this time of the night—Something I never did—he couldn’t bother to check why. My body ached as I shifted on the couch. My right arm was hurting, and the pulsing pain spread from my wrist to my elbow. I glanced down at the wound on my arm, my sleeve already stained with blood. My legs weren’t spared either. When one of the men had swung that wooden plank at me after they barged in, I had instinctively used my arm as a shield. It had taken most of the hit, but my legs hadn’t been entirely spared. I clenched my jaw and forced myself to stand. Julian wasn’t coming. I had to handle this alone. The apartment was in a total mess. The overturned furniture shattered glass

Kristina’s POV.I couldn’t sit still after I watched Julian leave and headed back to my ward to take some rest. The hospital room felt smaller with every passing second, the walls pressing in on me like they were trying to suffocate me. Julian was gone—he had left so suddenly after receiving a call without stating why he was leaving and I had no idea where he had gone. But something in my gut twisted, telling me he had run off to Clarence.I clenched my hands on my lap, my mind racing. He had been distant lately—more than distant and very cold even before we traveled back. And not in the usual way Julian could be when he was buried in work or annoyed. This time, it felt deliberate like he was tired of me for real this time and was ready to shut me out.I pushed the blanket off and stood up, wobbling a little before regaining balance. I didn’t care what the doctors said. I wasn’t going to sit in this hospital room like some helpless child while my head was full of thoughts of Clarence
Heiress Return: Revenge Of The Crippled Ex-Wife CHAPTER 78
Clarence’s POV.The next morning came quietly leaving me unsure, I hadn’t heard a word from Julian, not even a text after he helped me home yesterday and asked me to rest.The scandal was still online and everywhere, headlines still displaying everything in bold fonts, and faceless comments dragging my name like it was something dirty.I sat on my bed, my legs crossed beneath me, refreshing my screen every ten minutes like something new would pop up. Like maybe it would all disappear if I just stared at it long enough.I eventually gave up and called Julian when I couldn’t take it anymore. I knew he was probably busy, but I couldn’t keep sitting around doing anything while the whole internet was talking about the company like it was some sinking ship. His voice came through immediately after he picked up the phone, it was very calm and steady like there wasn’t something to worry about. “Julian,” I said, “what’s going on? It’s still everywhere online. Don’t you think I should do som
Heiress Return: Revenge Of The Crippled Ex-Wife CHAPTER 77
Julian’s POV.I was already on my way back to London when the weight of the past few hours pressed over me, filling my mind. I’d just finished confirming to both my parents and Kristina’s parents we were back as couples and I would push on with the marriage.They were convinced, and I could tell they were pleased with the news. My life, at least at that moment, seemed to be on a predictable path. I had to choose to be back with Kristina, after all, and that should’ve been the end of it. But then the phone rang, and everything shifted. Clarence’s name flashed across the screen. If only she had called earlier before I told everyone that I was back with Kristina.I didn’t even have to think before answering. There was something in her voice already—something urgent—that made my heart skip a beat. “Julian…” she started, but the words faltered. She was trying to keep it together, but I could hear the strain in her voice. She informed me about the chaos that was going on in the company and

Gina's POV.I stared at my wristwatch, my pulse dragging along with every second that passed. Damon would be home any minute. If he walked in now, I knew what would follow—the questions, the demands, and the expectations. Tonight was his event, one of those grand things he threw just to remind the world he was still relevant. And if I was in his house when he got back, I’d have no choice but to go with him.But Richard…He had called me several times today, then sent a message saying I had to come to New York so he could introduce me to his family. A big deal, considering how secretive he usually was. For once, I felt like something more than just someone he spent time with behind closed doors. And he said it so casually like it was nothing like it was already settled that I would be there or our relationship would have to come to an end.I was stuck.My heart beat faster as I paced the room. The weight of the two men pressed down on my chest. It wasn’t even about love—I wasn’t naive
Heiress Return: Revenge Of The Crippled Ex-Wife CHAPTER 75
Gina’s POV.The loud beeping of my phone startled me awake, making me jolt upright in the chair. My neck ached from the awkward position I’d slept in, and my eyes were dry and heavy.I reached for my phone, still ringing in my hand, and saw Richard’s name on the screen. I blinked at it for a second, confused. When did he start calling? I glanced at the call log and realized there had been several missed calls—all from him. I checked my settings. The calls were being silenced. That explained everything. Still, it didn’t make sense. I hadn’t remembered silencing any calls. I turned slightly and looked at Mark, who was awake and lying there, reading a book.“You saw my phone was ringing and didn’t say anything?” I asked, trying to keep my voice calm but feeling irritation crept in.He turned his head slowly, looking at me like I’d just asked something ridiculous. “It didn’t seem important. I turned it off.”I stared at him, disbelief spreading across my face. “It was Richard calling me.
Heiress Return: Revenge Of The Crippled Ex-Wife CHAPTER 74
Clarence’s POV.The flight back to London felt never-ending. I sat by the window, staring out at the clouds, but my mind wasn’t there. It kept going back to Julian. Not just the way he looked pale, withdrawn, and distracted but the way he’d kept everything to himself. He hadn’t told me what had happened. He didn’t speak much while he dropped me at my destination. I had asked him if everything was okay, but he had refused to say anything to me.He had tried to act fine but he didn’t look fine to me at all. I wanted to believe he was in control of everything he was going through, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was deeply off. Maybe he was angry with me. Maybe he regretted getting involved in all this again. Or maybe—and this thought stung more than I wanted to admit—maybe he just didn’t want to share anything with me anymore. After all, we weren’t really anything now. He had a fiancée. A life. And I was just a lingering ex. When we arrived, I didn’t even go home.
Heiress Return: Revenge Of The Crippled Ex-Wife CHAPTER 73
Julian’s POV. “Julian, please,” she said, her voice softer than usual, as if lowering her tone would fix anything. She rushed to hug me from behind, stopping me in my tracks. “I will apologize as you want and take responsibility but I can't go alone.” “Please go with me. I need you to come.” I didn’t answer right away. I already knew what this was about. She wanted me to accompany her to the boy’s ward—the one she hit with her car. “I wasn’t with you when it happened,” I said. My voice came out flat. I wasn’t angry, not in the usual sense, just tired. The kind of tiredness that had nothing to do with sleep. “You should go alone.” Her fingers tightened around my hand. “I’m scared,” she said. “I don’t know what they’ll say to me. I just… I don’t want to face them alone.” I looked at her for a moment, trying to read past the makeup and the tears she was trying to hold back. Kristina was always good at crying when it counted. She knew when to play weak and when to act li
Heiress Return: Revenge Of The Crippled Ex-Wife CHAPTER 72
Julian’s POV.I wasn’t expecting to see her there, not at this hour, and definitely not standing by the corner like she’d been waiting for me. Kristina’s mother. Mrs. Henderson. Dressed in a rich cream coat, her arms folded like she had every right to be here like this was some kind of meeting she scheduled. I slowed my pace when I noticed her, hoping I was mistaken. But the way she stepped forward told me I wasn’t. "Julian," she calmly called, like she wasn’t the least bit ashamed or out of place. I didn’t answer at first. Just kept walking. I wasn’t in the mood for this, whatever this was supposed to be. “I know Clarence came to see you,” she said suddenly. “You two were in your office yesterday, weren’t you?” That stopped me. My eyes narrowed before I could help it. “How do you know that? How did she know Clarence and also knew her name?” She smiled as though she was proud of what she’d done. “Let’s just say I’m looking out for my daughter. Nothing wrong with that, is t
Heiress Return: Revenge Of The Crippled Ex-Wife CHAPTER 71.
Julian’s POV.I wasn’t expecting anyone. Not at this hour, not today, not after the mess I was already trying to keep under control. So when I was heading back home to keep my head cool and saw Clarence standing there, it felt like my breath had been yanked right out of me.She looked tired—no makeup, no guards, just herself. Still as composed as always, but I could tell something was eating at her.“What are you doing here?” I asked, blinking twice to make sure I wasn’t seeing things. “You came all the way from London to New York?”“I had a feeling something wasn’t right, you have been absent from work without informing or contacting anyone,” she said quietly, her face searching mine. “And I needed to see for myself.”“You didn’t have to,” I replied. I meant it. She didn’t owe me this. Not after everything.“But I did,” she said, brushing past that. “And it wasn’t just that. There’s something wrong at the company.”I stepped closer immediately. “Something is wrong? What happened?” “
