My ex's uncle is my husband. 60: Suspicions of a Dead Woman
Chapter 60: Suspicions of a Dead WomanElizabeth remained silent for a few seconds; shortly after, she smiled awkwardly."I had never seen..." She sighed, looking at the photo uncomfortably."Sorry for showing you this. For a moment, I thought I had seen her photo somewhere, for some reason... I wished this woman were alive," she lamented, clenching her fists."I'm determined because I know we have enough information to find your sister.""It's not that easy. We spent millions on investigators, and we only found this woman because Taylor felt safe enough to pull her out of hiding. But something doesn't add up. Who tampered with the brakes? It's driving me crazy!" He grumbled, massaging his temples."Can I help you?" she asked suddenly."What's on that little mind of yours?""I can... I can," she sighed, unsure. "I believe I have ways to get better information. What do you think?""How?""Taylor... He doesn't know I gave you this information, and, by chance, he doesn't seem to think mu

Chapter 61: DNA SamplesAs unbelievable as it might seem, it was Richard who remained asleep while Elizabeth quickly got ready and left the mansion. She wanted to address this matter as swiftly as possible while he wasn't monitoring her. Gaby was still half asleep when Elizabeth found her slumped over the table, dozing off."What have you been up to? You seem overwhelmed," murmured Elizabeth, sitting at the table and feeling a bit uncomfortable in her leg muscles."Unlike you, who seems to be on cloud nine. It's that man... he's trying to drain my energy this way.""Draining your energy? What are you talking about? You two, by any chance...""Don't think nonsense. That guy might even be considered a virgin, at least I think so, or he's gay. He seems to hate women, doesn't seem like he's ever liked anyone in his life.""Speaking of which... he might be. After all, he's jealous of Richard.""That was obvious," scoffed Gaby. "But why did you call me so early?""There's something really w
My ex's uncle is my husband. 62: Invitation to the Auction
Chapter 62: Invitation to the AuctionAs soon as they entered the office, Richard showed Elizabeth some addresses he extracted from the documents."I've researched these addresses, and they all have some sort of event. In one of them, Mrs. Bay is on the guest list. I believe we can use her to help us get in.""What exactly happens at these events?""In this one, coincidentally, there's an auction of jewels that have been missing for centuries, and for some reason, Ricardo and Taylor have control over them. I believe they're trying to raise capital to save their part of the company.""Is that illegal?""Yes, these jewels are stolen. But what I want to know is if Bay is attending this event.""I'm sure she isn't!" affirmed determinedly. "So, did she receive the details about this auction?""Yes, but she can't go. But I know she has a catalog that can only be opened by her and can't be shared. I want that evidence in my hands. I know my name isn't in that catalog, but it'll be useful to
My ex's uncle is my husband. 63: Plan Against Bay
Chapter 63: Plan Against Bay "And it seems that the updates don't stop, even when we least expect it, it looks like Bay is going to attend the event," Taylor commented, barely holding back laughter. "That's it!" Ricardo celebrated. "It seems that luck is on our side." Richard obtained information about the auction. It would be a secret auction as expected, and everyone would be wearing masks, but they would have identifications, which would be nicknames for identification purposes. He managed to access the list and discovered that Bay's identification would be 'Black Pearl.' Each participant received a special brooch with their nicknames, and each could register another person, but that person wouldn't have access to the auction room, only to the corridors while their bosses participated.

Chapter 64. Where did Bay go?Outside, Gaby observed Bay's location on a small handheld monitor and noticed her change in position."What the hell is she doing? She said she wouldn't leave..." Anxious, Gaby grumbled, scanning the area for a gap among the dozens of guards. However, she had studied the layout of the place and knew exactly where Bay was being taken. "Damn it... what do they want..." She murmured, heading straight down the hallway. She entered a bathroom, slid into one of the stalls, and climbed onto the toilet. Quickly, she removed the vent duct cover, took out a small piece of paper from her neckline, and skillfully squeezed into the narrow space, aided by the tracker's flashlight.She maneuvered through the duct and swiftly reached the gallery housing all the artifacts. Corridors were formed by rows of glass cases preserving the artifacts. Elizabeth had

Chapter 65. End of one of the schemes.Taylor and his father had to flee the site; soon, the place was surrounded by police, and all illegal activities there were confiscated, leading to the detention of dozens of men for questioning.Richard had been clear in his report, citing the names of Taylor and Ricardo without caring about the consequences it would have for the Campbell family. Although they were not found, there was evidence that could connect them to the events, but in each testimony, none of them dared to mention who the organizers were.Richard stayed by Elizabeth's side until she woke up. Gaby spent minutes pestering the doctor until he assured her that Elizabeth wouldn't lose mobility due to the attacks she had suffered."I already know I'm not leaving her alone. I won't leave this house until she's better, so if you want..." Gaby protested before being interrupted."Alright!" Jayden confirmed, placing his hand over her mouth to silence her. "You don't need to say anythin

Chapter 66. Forgotten Contract"But she's alive, and you need to find her more than ever," Richard held her trembling hands, gently placing them between his. "Reality could have been less cruel to us… but that family came into our lives just to destroy everything we have."Despite feeling suffocated, it seemed like his tears were locked in his eyes, and any display of pain was something his brain repressed, as if showing weakness were forbidden.After a few minutes, he had nothing to compose himself with. He continued in his coldness and went to the room, finding Elizabeth restless, unable to move from the bed, trapped in intense back pain. He helped her take the painkiller, and within a few minutes, she fell asleep.In the morning, the first thing Gaby did was go to Elizabeth's room. If it weren't for her injured back, Gaby would have confronted her and given her a lesson, but instead, she just reprimanded her. Elizabeth was forced to stay in bed until late afternoon, still in a lot
My ex's uncle is my husband. 67: Elizabeth's Decision
Chapter 67: Elizabeth's DecisionRichard stormed out of his office impatiently after reviewing the document. He recognized that he had indeed signed that paper, but how could it have been authenticated? He wouldn't have done such a thing if he were lucid. And there was no way he could have done it while drunk.He entered Jayden's room and encountered a rather unusual scene: Jayden seated at the edge of the bed with Gaby behind him, on her knees on the bed, seemingly rubbing something on his back."I won't ask anything," he announced indifferently, walking up to Jayden, who stood up, looking flustered, silently staring at him. "I just want you to investigate to the ends of the earth if this contract is legitimate," he ordered, handing the papers to him."Where are you going?" Jayden asked, interrupting him as he thought of leaving the room. Gaby swiftly passed by them and left, embarrassed."Are you extending an invitation to me?" he asked, facing Gaby impartially as she opened the doo

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

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
