My ex's uncle is my husband. 40: I Won't Stand for It Anymore
Chapter 40: I Won't Stand for It AnymoreRichard seemed confident as he escorted Elizabeth, yet simultaneously, he felt a mixture of confidence and apprehension about how his grandfather might treat her. He knew dealing with the grandfather wasn't an easy task.Alfred, a 70-year-old gentleman, appeared sharp and perceptive in evaluating people's trustworthiness. Despite his advanced age, his elegant attire evoked the image of a duke. Like Richard, Alfred was considered an influential tycoon, holding considerable economic power.Richard lived in constant motion, always seeking improvements and advancements in the power he already held. He was fully aware that both he and Taylor were in a power competition, vying to be worthy of inheriting everything that man possessed, something that far surpassed Richard's resources.Alfred sighed d

Chapter 41: Nothing They WantCarlson, Emma's father, rushes down the stairs as Emma stares at Elizabeth with a wicked smile, even after the slap."Uncle!" Taylor warns, stepping forward to defend Elizabeth, sensing his intention to harm her."No one touches my daughter!""Let him do what he wants, I don't need you to defend me!" Elizabeth protested, pushing Taylor away."A nobody who thinks she's something just for being married to that man," Carlson grumbled disdainfully."Oh..." she sighed, parting her lips in surprise. "True, what will you do? Hit his wife? At least I married someone truly worthy of respect, unlike you, who play at the lowest to gain power.""For heaven's sake, Elizabeth," Taylor grumbled. "You saw ever

Chapter 42: A Narcissistic Father's Words"Do you not fear walking around here alone?" Taylor asked, startling her as he approached."What are you doing here?" she questioned, looking around and realizing she couldn't see anyone else."I want to talk to you alone.""I have nothing to talk to you about!" she declared, attempting to run, but he grabbed her waist, pinning her against his back."No!" she protested, struggling as he held her forcefully, almost suffocating her. "If you scream, I'll lie and say you're seducing me. Who do you think they'll believe?"

Chapter 43: On the Edge"Supposedly you want to cause me another hemorrhage by being so close," he panted, swallowing hard, savoring the touch of her fingers on his chest."I better clean this blood, your nose is still bleeding, so stay still," she suggested, pulling her hands away and getting up from the bed.She searched the room for something to treat Richard's injury but found nothing, so she left the room to find old Alfred. She was puzzled when she didn't find him, after all, she had been gone for less than two minutes, but the sound of falling water revealed he was still in the room.Nevertheless, she was unsure if it was really him or once again Taylor following her, so she went to the bathroom and tried to secretly see who was really there. The foggy glass of the shower area only allowed her to see a brief silhouette of a m

Chapter 44. Deceiving Richard. She hurried along with Richard after bidding farewell to her old friend Alfred. As they got into the car, Richard noticed her anxiety but still found amusement in seeing her in this state. They were already halfway when Elizabeth received a call from her friend. "Stop the car!" she shouted, desperate. "What on earth are you doing?" he asked as she answered. She sighed in relief upon hearing her friend's voice, saying she was at the hospital. She put the call on speaker, and Gaby began her drama, stating she was feeling really unwell. Richard had no choice after Elizabeth mentioned that Gaby's grandmother was too weak to go to the hospital alone and she didn't want to worry her with something like this.

Chapter 45 Betrayal.Richard stared at Gaby reproachfully, but she, with her arms wide open, tried to stop him from passing."Jayden!" she exclaimed, and instantly, Gaby was grabbed by the waist and pulled away from Richard's path."What are you doing?" Gaby protested when Jayden released her abruptly."You should know better than to meddle in other people's relationships," he commented indifferently, while Richard followed after Elizabeth; however, she had already vanished. He had no idea where she had gone, but he knew she hadn't left the campus.Meanwhile, Elizabeth had taken a less-used corridor. There was no one there, except for one or two suspicious individuals who saw her heading that way. There were a few empty rooms, and she chose one and entered, bursting into angry tears, still holdin
My ex's uncle is my husband. 46: Quest for the Truth
Chapter 46: Quest for the TruthElizabeth was taken aback as she left the office and Jayden stood there holding that box."Why are you giving this to me?" she asked, surprised."You left it behind, I believe you should keep it, since you believe so much in lies," he suggested, cold and in a bad mood.She took the box without saying anything else and headed to her room; it had been such a turbulent morning and it wasn't even noon yet.Richard's mansion suddenly seemed very busy. He wasn't accustomed to calling so many employees to his house, but he thought he would need to, to assist a woman like Elizabeth, even though she had lived for years in a simple house, doing ordinary activities alongside her friend Gaby.Jayden, after helping Ailda assign each employee, headed to the establishment where Elizabeth's best friend worked.As soon as the girl saw that guy enter and sit, choosing a table in a more secluded corner, she anxiously followed him."How is Liz?" she asked as she sat down,
My ex's uncle is my husband. 47: Elizabeth's Plan
Chapter 47: Elizabeth's Plan"Are you going to argue right now?" she asked impatiently."This is the second time you've pursued this woman. Plus, you defended her even after she slapped me. What's going on?" she asked skeptically. "Even my father saw how you act around her."Taylor looked her in the eyes, displaying seriousness. Slowly, he walked toward Emma, making her apprehensive."Tell me, do you think I love her?" he asked, analyzing her as he held her in his arms.She suddenly smirked. "Look... we've been together for three years, in secret. If you loved her... well, we wouldn't have been together for so long. After a year of being with her... I believe even before that, you were cheating.""Yes, I was never faithful to her. That foolish girl fell for my words, I could deceive her in every way because she trusted me blindly. So, what do you think?""Knowing you, I know it's just jealousy. It's clear that she and Richard haven't had anything yet. You still want to be her first, m

Chapter 208: Implications and Departures."You know..." sighed Brian as he saw Emma, who stared at them with disdain." 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
