My ex's uncle is my husband. 61: DNA Samples
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
My ex's uncle is my husband. 66. Forgotten Contract
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

Chapter 68: The two big shots are back.Elizabeth lay waiting in her bed until she heard a knock at the door."They're here!" she announced eagerly, attempting to get up, but Gaby stopped her and went to answer the door."It can't be!" she exclaimed upon seeing the two men."Ah, our youngest is here too!" one of the guys announced, enveloping Gaby in a hug that nearly swallowed her in his towering frame, almost twice her size."Goodness…" she grumbled, patting the man's back in an attempt to free herself. Jayden had just arrived and witnessed the scene of the two men entering Elizabeth's room, along with the hug and closeness they shared with Gaby. For a moment, he felt a slight discomfort in his chest, a sudden inexplicable antipathy towards the two."Still a wild one!" he grumbled, releasing her, and she punched the man's forearm, which he ignored as if he felt nothing."And you're still trying to take advantage of me every time you see me. I've told you, old man, you don't stand a
