Chapter 106 Promises and ConspiraciesTaylor remained sober and quietly left the room. Emma followed him, but he entered his sister Aurora's room. He knew Emma had a certain aversion to being near Aurora's room, so he wouldn't go in, even if she pretended otherwise. Sometimes he realized how the girl, who had always been spoiled by her father, had grown in a different and ruthless way when it came to someone she considered inferior or in a worse condition. She was even worse than Taylor himself, as she didn't know what it was like to be among the lower class.Every day, Elizabeth's brothers visited, and this went on for a week. During this time, Richard could already get out of bed, although he still couldn't walk alone and didn't have full control of his legs. He felt better at least being able to sit on the simple living room couch. He could watch the children play in the center of the rug, while their mother observed them from behind the counter that separated the living room from
Chapter 107 "Twists and Revealed Plans""Goodness..." she murmured, turning to face him as she stepped away, pretending nonchalance. "I was looking for you; I'm heading home. Just wanted to let you know."Taylor frowned, curious."To let me know? You never inform me.""I know... but..." she stammered, thinking of an excuse. "I've been talking a lot with Aurora, and she talks a lot about you to me. I've been thinking..." she tried to speak while the only idea she had churned her stomach."You've been thinking?" he asked suspiciously as he approached her."Maybe we can be friends... go out, what do you think about that?" she asked, closing her eyes and keeping her head down.For a moment, Taylor was petrified, then he analyzed, realizing her flushed face."Who would have thought..." he sighed in confusion, then cautiously took one of her hands. "Are you inviting me out? Because I could definitely accept that." He sighed, smiling discreetly but feeling his heart race."Really?" Her voice
Chapter 108. Sky Flowers Garden."Are you going to play newlyweds, and what about me? Am I going to be your daughter?" she asked eagerly."Are you serious?" Gaby asked.She's being ironic, actually, she's being quite sarcastic, and no, you're not going, if that's what you want to know, and besides, you should stay as far away as possible."I invited him to go out! What do I do?" she asked frustrated, putting her hands to her head and messing up her hair while Gaby and Jayden suppressed their laughter."Stick to the plan, we're not sure yet, so don't cut ties now, keep it up until we're sure of what's happening in that place and who the woman who answered is.""Are you suggesting that I should continue this? Go out with Taylor?" she asked skeptically."We only have this, despite being suspicious, it's not much, I'll try to trace the location through this number, and I'll find out which neighborhood it is, but this could just be any address, so continue with the plan.""I'm tired of see
Chapter 109. Suspicious Neighborhood.The couple had no trouble entering the private neighborhood, but they noticed they were being watched."There are cameras installed in strategic places." Jayden commented as they made their way into the house, heading to a room." See this?" He asked, tapping a wall with his finger."Is it hollow?"This is my observation room; no one can find or detect anything, and we can access the cameras. Soon, we'll see how we can navigate the area, what kind of people can enter." He explained, turning on screens showing real-time scenes from surveillance cameras."Okay... Let's get started!" She announced, sitting in one of the chairs, putting her feet up on the table as Jayden watched her with a sly smile, making her curious." Any problem?"We're out of food." He said, trying not to laugh."Darn it! All that decoration made me hungry."Our first mission as a couple, grocery shopping!" He announced, looking casually at her."Why do you seem so weird?"I don't
Chapter 110. What to Believe Now?Elizabeth, upon entering the room, paid no attention to anything. She went into the bathroom and washed her body as if she were so dirty that she needed to scrub her skin forcefully.Meanwhile, at the Leblanc mansion, they were bombarded with so many calls that, once again, the front of their mansion was filled with reporters."What the hell is happening?" Ryuk asserted as he read the news.[Confirmed: Richard Campbell was not really missing; he fled and is now living with his secret family in another country.][Richard Campbell, married for five years to a simple girl; could the marriage with Elizabeth be annulled?][Richard Campbell deceived the Leblanc family; what will be the outcome of this?]"It's in all the newspapers; how did they find out?" He asked Ryuk, heading to the office."We have to go get Elizabeth; everything must be a mess over there too."Could this be true? It could be a setup." Eliza suggested, meeting the siblings."I don't know
Chapter 111. Zeus's Decision.The newspapers announced the news with all the evidence, and Elizabeth's email had even more proof. Still, despite the certainty that all of it was true, somehow, nothing made sense. By the next day, Zeus's decision was already plastered across all the newspapers; at that moment, everyone was certain of Richard and the entire Campbell family's downfall. Early in the morning, Zeus was already gathered in his conference room with dozens of men and lawyers; at that moment, he would begin cutting all ties and agreements he had with the Campbells.Alfred was also present, albeit a bit weakened. While relieved to see that his nephew was well, he also realized that something was not adding up, aside from the fact that all this news had come out, yet he couldn't even get in touch with Richard."As you know, after all these news and the emotional damage my daughter has suffered, I will be terminating any contract with Richard Campbell's companies," Zeus announced.
Chapter 112. When Everyone Stops Believing."What are you thinking?" she asked as she lay back down."We're going to annul your marriage to Richard," he announced, making her jump out of bed in surprise."What are you talking about?""There's no reason to stay married to him. Besides, it seems he's married to another woman, so don't insist on this, just cancel the marriage.""Dad... I'm not ready yet," she confessed, keeping her gaze anxious and hopeful."You've seen everything that happened and everything Richard did to you. Why not detach yourself? Besides, you fought so hard not to marry him, and even tried to end this marriage. You have your chance now!""But now I love him, I can't, not this... I found out the truth only yesterday after months, and now you want to hit me with all this; I'm not ready, I still don't want to!" She started screaming hysterically in tears."Calm down," Ryuk pleaded, trying to hold her, and then hugging her tightly as she cried in despair.Zeus, for a
**113. Annulment Letter**Zeus was at the entrance when the butler handed him the envelope that had just been delivered to him."What's this?" Elizabeth asked, seeing her father looking at her suspiciously."A letter for you.""For me?" she asked eagerly, running towards him with the intention of grabbing the letter, but he stopped her."Be patient, let me read it, and then I'll give it to you. I'm not sure if this will be good for you.""It's a legal letter, what does it say? It's mine!" she asserted, managing to take the envelope from her father's hand. "Annulment of marriage according to Article 1,521, VI. People who are already married cannot marry..."As she read the paper, everything around her seemed to be collapsing."Liz!" Brian shouted, holding her when her body lost strength, and she fainted.They took her back to the room and went to the living room, still pensive about the information."I had forgotten about this detail. Whether requested or not, the marriage would be ann
