My ex's uncle is my husband. 152: Does Alfred Not Care About His Grandson?
Chapter 152: Does Alfred Not Care About His Grandson?Elizabeth followed in silence as she was escorted by her brothers, who looked at her with confusion. Once inside, she ran upstairs, ignoring them. But before she reached her room, Zeus stopped her, holding her arm with a displeased expression."Where were you?" Zeus asked, irritated."I was hiding from you, can't I?" Elizabeth replied, raising her eyebrows and staring at him arrogantly."I'm not keeping you here because I want to. I need to keep you safe because I care about you," Zeus confessed sincerely, releasing her arm and gently holding her hand. "I thought you had run away and something had happened to you. Now that everyone knows who you are, things can get even more complicated. Imagine if they also find out about your identity as Bay, one of the women at the top, being hated and loved at the same time?""Father, I appreciate the concern, but do you really think it's necessary to keep me away from Richard? You wanted me to

Chapter 153: Richard was poisoned again.Alfred locked himself in the office and began searching for the document, but found nothing. Then he heard hurried footsteps in the hallway, as if something was happening. He heard voices and quickly went out. When he realized it, the doctors who were examining Richard were now trying to revive him from a cardiac arrest. They performed CPR, and after nearly fifteen minutes of insistence to normalize his heartbeat, they could breathe a sigh of relief."What happened?" Alfred asked Jayden."I have no idea. The doctors administered the usual medicine to help him wake up, but this time he had a cardiac arrest," explained Jayden, still stunned."I need to talk to you," one of Jayden's trusted doctors warned."Of course!""I'm coming too!" Alfred announced, but Jayden didn't allow him to go and locked himself in the office with the doctor."I just received an email with the results of Richard's blood test.""Are you talking about the test?""No, the

Chapter 154: Alfred wants to take everything from Richard. "Elizabeth, is everything okay?" Jayden asked as she seemed unresponsive. "Tell me, what was Taylor's mother's name?" Elizabeth inquired. "Coralie, why?" "Because this woman is Taylor's mother, and only her hair is different. When he showed me the photo, her hair was very dark, and now it's light brown, and she!" Elizabeth asserted with certainty. Jayden was speechless, awkwardly smiling, realizing he hadn't connected the dots. It had been obvious since he found out Taylor's mother hadn't died. "Taylor!" Elizabeth shouted as the cellphone camera was pointed at Richard. "Is he waking up? Something's wrong!" she yelled as she saw Richard thrashing around. Then, Jayden dropped the phone and ran to call the doctors. "He's having another cardiac arrest, hurry!" Jayden shouted. Elizabeth didn't see anything else but heard clearly what the doctor had said. While they were with Richard, Jayden ended the call as he cursed loudly

Chapter 155: Who Kidnapped Elizabeth"But wasn't he fine?" Brian asked, surprised to see Richard debilitated, hooked up to machines."As you can see, it's not hard to tell that he isn't. Please leave, both of you," Jayden ordered calmly."She wanted to come to see him, but she's not here. I know she wouldn't hide; she'd fight to stay and would stay," Ryuk commented to Brian before grabbing his phone and leaving the room to call the police.Alfred, upon learning about Elizabeth's disappearance, quickly left with the Leblanc brothers and headed to their mansion."We have to find Liz..." Gaby murmured, trying to stay calm.Jayden gave her a discreet smile. "And we have what they don't. That woman is Coralie, Taylor's mother. Elizabeth recognized her today.""So she might know something, right?""Let's get her!"He left the room and headed to the kitchen. They had to capture her without anyone knowing."Can you help Aurora?" Jayden asked upon entering the kitchen, startling her."Me?" She

Chapter 156: Against Time"Liz..." he gasped, worried, pulling the blanket off her body. She was without any of her clothes, which were neatly folded and placed on the dresser. Next to them, the handcuff key, an already opened bottle of wine, and two glasses, as if it were a romantic encounter. "Emma managed to get what was so hard for me to get. How? And she mocks me like this," he questioned, taking the handcuff key and removing the cuffs from her arm.At the Campbell mansion, Jayden was again in the room where Coralie was imprisoned. He dragged her through the hallway to the office, where he seated her in one of the chairs, handing her the cellphone. Meanwhile, Gaby now had a gun pointed at her head. Her anxious hands yearned to pull the trigger. In the midst of desperation, she only wanted to find Elizabeth."You're going to call Taylor and keep him on the line until I get what I want," Jayden ordered, handing her the phone. "Do it if you want to live. Otherwise, you'll die right
My ex's uncle is my husband. 157: Finally Standing
Chapter 157: Finally StandingOn that same morning, Jayden and Gaby informed the Leblanc family that Elizabeth was fine and that they had found her. Jayden convinced them to let her rest at the Campbell mansion for a while, as she was still very shaken by what had happened."Are you sure you don't want to tell them what happened?" Jayden asked Gaby."Not yet. She's not well. If they know, they'll come here and take her away even if it's against her will. Liz needs time, and I need space to hunt down Taylor.""I got the recordings from the apartment, but it seems they took care of even that. Still..." he murmured, showing Gaby a public video from the street in front of the apartment."It wasn't Taylor who took Elizabeth. He arrived a little later and alone. There are more people involved in this.""I'll find them, whoever they are. What happened was the last straw.""How are you going to do that? There's no trace. We only know Taylor was there, but who else? They could also be just sec

Richard left the room, and Jayden led him to Elizabeth's room."Is she okay?" Richard asked as he turned the doorknob, but the door wouldn't open."She needs you now more than ever, talk to her," Jayden said, apprehensively."How did she get here? She didn't come alone, did she?" Richard asked suspiciously."Just talk to her," Jayden ended the conversation by handing him the spare key and leaving him alone."I already said I want to be alone!" Elizabeth exclaimed, throwing the pillow at Richard's face without realizing it was him. "Richard?""Yeah," he sighed in relief at seeing her, yet confused by her pale complexion."I missed you so much," she lamented, but still couldn't bring herself to approach, staying withdrawn near the bed.He cautiously approached her until he finally had her in his arms, calmly and carefully."What went wrong? You look so worn out," he asked tenderly, holding her close.Then she realized he didn't know what had happened."I'll tell you later. Tell me... ho

Richard heard the quick and heavy footsteps in the hallway; Elizabeth's brothers came with some security guards."Where's Elizabeth?" Ryuk asked Jayden, who was in the hallway."She's in the room," he said without opposing, still staring at Richard's office door, which didn't open."Liz…" Brian murmured when he saw her, and she ran to her brothers who embraced her."Let's go home… okay?" Ryuk requested, noticing her weakness. "What's going on? Not eating?" he asked, squeezing her cheeks."I have no appetite…""No appetite? It looks like you haven't eaten for at least… since you got here, I know you too well," Brian commented, taking one of the sheets and throwing it over her body, covering the bathrobe she was wearing."You're going to tell us everything that happened. I want to know who hurt you," he asserted, picking her up in his arms when he noticed she was trembling.Ryuk and Brian left the room, taking her with them. Richard left the office as soon as they passed by his door. El

Chapter 209: The Last Farewell Today at the mansion, everyone was excited, people came and went, both the Campbell and Leblanc families, employees went up and down bringing and taking things. The twins and Gaby were in Elizabeth's room, styling her hair and adorning it with pearl ornaments. It would be the most luxurious party ever seen. Richard and Elizabeth were marrying again, this time officially and grandly, so that everyone could witness this union and celebrate.After so many events, walking down the aisle to meet the man she loved was priceless. As her father led her slowly as if wanting to savor her arrival at the groom."Father?" whispered Elizabeth upon hearing her father's slight sniffle and realizing he was almost crying." Isn't this the second time I'm getting married?"That wasn't a wedding, it was a mistake of your father, right? But now I'm seeing my daughter really getting married, to someone she loves, I'm just a grandfather now." declared Zeus, holding back tears.

When you don't talk about the devil, he shows up anyway, doesn't he?" he asked seriously.The twins, in turn, got up and went downstairs together, barely noticing that the Leblanc brothers followed them while smiling and chatting."What are they talking about?" whispered Brian. Then, they subtly approached when the twins sat at a table in the cafeteria and stealthily listened."You shouldn't think about it, it was right to throw those coats away at that moment. Besides... Think about it, do men like them have anything good to offer? You saw, they attract the attention of all women all the time." she commented with disgust."But isn't that a good thing?" asked Brian, whispering, astonished."True, you know, men like that are after every woman they can find. There's no value in that, and I say this because they kept staring at us the whole time. We're nothing but toys,

Chapter 207: A Pregnant Woman in a Scorpion NestShe rested her head on those wooden planks, holding her belly, thinking she would be alone at that moment. Besides the risk she was taking by being in an old house in a forest, it was obvious that there were insects and wild animals around. So, she tried to stay still, even more so when she saw an unpleasant insect just inches away, making her spine tingle. After all, how many more were there? She closed her eyes in terror. It seemed that under that house had become a shelter for scorpions. So, she even tried not to breathe, even with panic.At such a critical moment, she truly thought she was going to die, until she heard the door of that old house open abruptly."Oh Heavens... He never fails..." she sighed in relief."Stay still!" Richard asserted upon seeing the scorpions crawling over Elizabeth."Save me... Please..." she pleaded, holding her breath."It's okay... Just don't move." he said, keeping calm and carefully removing the sc
My ex's uncle is my husband. 206: A Dangerous and Relaxed Walk
Chapter 206: A Dangerous and Relaxed WalkElizabeth was already nine months pregnant, and with each passing day, she became more anxious. It wasn't because she eagerly awaited the moment to see her daughter, but rather because, after months in that mansion, even with so much entertainment, she was eager and longing to go out and take her last walk alone.The twins were wandering around the mansion's premises, and as usual, they always went to see Elizabeth."You can come in," announced Elizabeth when the twins knocked on the door."Are you going somewhere?" the girls asked, a bit confused to see her already dressed and drying her hair."I'm thinking of making a brief visit to an old place," she said thoughtfully."You're not thinking of visiting someone, are you?" Kemilly asked suspiciously."What are you talking about?" Elizabeth asked, confused."We heard that Taylor is paralyzed, unable to move anything from the waist down. It's a pity for someone so young and handsome.""Why would

Chapter 205: Visiting my former marriageDuring that same period, Taylor was now living with his mother. She took him to her home, even though it was a simple place. Now he had to accept that this was his fate, being completely ignored by his father, who didn't even visit him. Coralie now sat daily in a chair in front of Taylor's bed and dedicated herself to feeding him."Do you know I can feed myself, right? Why do you keep doing this?" Taylor asked, annoyed."And I want to take care of my son, as I never could before," she grumbled as he refused to eat."You don't have to, just leave and let me die. We can't even live in this place, no money, no life, nothing. That bastard who claims to be my father only defends his own interests.""I'm here. Besides, I know how to get money, so don't worry.""How?""Let's just say I made a great friend, even when I was practicing evil," she smiled tenderly. "At least she says she never made a mistake when she chose to trust me.""I abandoned you. S

Chapter 204 - Ambitious and InsistentAs soon as the girls received Elizabeth's message, they didn't think twice before rushing to meet their mother and uncle to share the news and their decisions at that moment.Richard was gathered in the garden with his sister Rayssa and Aloury. The girls talked to their guardians and asked for permission to go with Elizabeth."How come Elizabeth asked you two to go with her?" Richard asked skeptically."Actually, we asked her. We believe we can learn more from someone like her.""Did she say where she's going?"The girls shook their heads negatively."No, actually she said she didn't want you to know.""What am I to her? Is she always going to be avoiding me? Does she think it's fair while dragging my daughter everywhere?" he grumbled annoyed, leaving the twins confused."What do you mean? But if it was your son, why did you let Taylor bother her so much?"At that moment, Richard averted his gaze, showing shame."At first, he implied that baby was

Chapter 203: Things Seem to Be Falling into PlaceRayssa went upstairs to see her sister; Aloury still had no idea that her older sister had been rescued."Do you think she'll be happy?" Rayssa asked, leaning on Richard's arm as he escorted her."You can be sure, just the two of us was a bit lonely.""I heard she married that man, now that I'm back, I'll have to face a divorce while her marriage will be annulled," she sighed thoughtfully."Indeed, it seems our family has a karma related to marriage annulment.""Why? Speaking of which... Elizabeth is your wife, right? Why didn't you bring her?""It's a long story, actually, a story so far-fetched it might take days to know it all," he suddenly commented, remembering the time he was kidnapped.He smiled awkwardly at the thought that it was his grandfather who did that; he was now sure that Rayssa and Aloury's encounter was more dramatic than expected, filled with Aloury's remorse and regret, now that she was lucid. She had awakened from

Chapter 202: Elizabeth's DepartureThe twins eyed each other cautiously, silently communicating with their gaze. Emile nodded in agreement to what Kemilly indicated by looking towards the grand entrance, then turned to his sister."Let's take you, since you can't walk...""No!" Kemilly asserted, using all her strength, pulling her sister and running into the hospital, leaving the two men stunned."What's going on?" Brian asked, furrowing his brow as he watched the girls struggling to run."Interesting, I expected them to jump into our arms instead of running past us..." "Oh... I guess we're quite presumptuous, but perhaps there are really tough women out there in the world," Brian commented, interrupting his brother and suppressing a laugh."Did they make it seem like a game?" Ryuk asked, sliding his thumb over his chin with a light smile, much like Brian.The twins ran to Elizabeth's room, finding her things already packed, feeling disappointed to see her leaving."You're leaving wi

Chapter 201: An Old Problem.She smiled disappointedly, took a deep breath, gathering courage for what she wanted to say."Just forget it, I'm not going anywhere with you. If you think she's not yours, I don't want you to assume a responsibility that isn't yours," she said calmly, not even looking at him."Even if she doesn't have my blood, it doesn't mean I can't love her as a legitimate daughter, Liz... Don't keep rejecting me..." he tried to hold her hand, but she pulled away."Excuse me," Eliza entered the room, interrupting the conversation."I'll let you two talk..." Richard announced, albeit unwillingly."Why are you treating him like this?" Eliza asked, concerned."Because he's stubborn. Clearly, he's doing this out of pity. He wants to accept this child not because he loves me or loves this child, but because he feels sorry for everything I've been through. But the truth is, I've realized that nothing happened between me and Taylor.""What do you mean?" Eliza asked, intereste
