Second Chance at Love: From Divorcee to the Billionaire's Bride Chapter 129
Clearly, the word "mistress" struck a nerve with Cindy. Her face twitched as she struggled to accept it, but the truth remained.Cindy clenched her fists, her eyes red with anger as she glared at me, trying to suppress her rage. "Jen, you know that's not the point.""The point you think you're making means nothing to me. I don't care about Susanne's relationship with my father, and you won't provoke me with it. But I warn you, my father's good name isn't yours to tarnish. If I hear even a whisper of you slandering him, I won't let you off easily!" I emphasized, "Do you understand?"Tears welled up in Cindy's eyes, and her voice grew hoarse. "Jen, are you threatening me?""You can take it that way," I replied coldly. "No one can clarify events from over twenty years ago. I'm not interested in how your mother disrupted my parents' relationship. If you're hung up on it, you won't find answers from me. From now on, stop bothering me with this! Or else—""Or else what?""Or else, I wo

Luckily I’m not fortunate enough to be future partner.As I tried to think of a way to decline Luke, he looked at his watch and urged, "Jen, I have a meeting this afternoon and can't waste time. I need to talk to you on the way back.""What is it? Tell me now.""Are you sure you want me to discuss private matters about Professor Middleton in public?""..."Alright, you win, Luke.Luke's car was still the same black luxury car, and this time he was driving himself. However, his driving seemed much smoother than before.Once the car merged into traffic, I couldn't wait any longer and asked, "What do you need to tell me?"Luke kept his eyes on the road, his lips barely moving. "What did Cindy say to you?""How did you know I met with Cindy?""I saw you."I wanted to ask Luke if he had nothing better to do than keep tabs on my meetings. Before I could, Luke glanced at me and said, "I don't have a habit of stalking people. I happened to be passing by and saw you with Cindy in the

I must look fierce right now, like a small, angry beast baring its teeth. My eyes are red and glaring at Luke, inexplicably directing all my anger towards him.Normally, Luke would chase me out of the car, give me a cold look, and say something icy to silence me. But to my surprise, he didn't do that.Instead, he pulled a checkered handkerchief out of his pocket and handed it to me. Yes, another checkered handkerchief. I find it endearing that a grown man always carries a clean handkerchief with him.But I'm angry right now and don't want to use his handkerchief. Plus, the last time I borrowed his handkerchief to wipe my nose, I promised to wash it and return it, but I couldn't find it. How could I use his second one?Seeing that I didn't take it, Luke sighed impatiently, then leaned over and stuffed the handkerchief into my hand. "Don't get your snot on my car. I have OCD.""…Fine," I mumbled, wiping my tears and nose with his handkerchief. "This time, I'll remember to wash it an

As Luke continued speaking, a slight frown appeared on his face. "The novel tells the story of two protagonists who fall deeply in love," he explained. "When the female lead discovers that the male lead has a wife and daughter, she spends the entire night crying. They both struggle to suppress their feelings but are unable to resist the overwhelming passion, crossing moral boundaries. Eventually, they make the decision to end their lives together, in order to preserve their love at its most beautiful moment. They discuss various methods for their joint suicide and ultimately choose to jump from a great height. This way, they can hold hands as they fall, embracing tightly and reminiscing about every moment of their lives. Their suicide will be grand and intense, as they plunge from the sea of clouds into the deserted forest below."Suddenly, a photo of my father and Susanne on a trip to Eagleland Mountain came to mind.I was familiar with Eagleland Mountain, a popular tourist dest

"Susanne refused to reveal the father's identity and was pressured by the Lansworth family to have an abortion. She adamantly refused, and even threatened to die if they didn't accept the child or let her leave the family to live on her own.""At that time, Lucy Peterson, the matriarch of the Lansworth family and Paul's mother, couldn't accept Susanne's rebellious actions. She ordered Paul to take Susanne to the hospital for an abortion. However, before the procedure, the doctor told Paul that Susanne's health was poor, and if she had the abortion, she might never be able to have children again.""Paul, who always doted on his sister, was worried about her health. Seeing Susanne pleading, saying she would never marry and would only care for the child, he finally relented. Susanne was sent to Estaland to have the baby. Lucy, feeling humiliated, refused to forgive Susanne and banned her from returning home. Until the baby was born, Susanne stayed in Estaland, cared for only by a nanny.

"What do you mean?" I asked.Luke replied, "Six years ago, Justin was still in the U.S. Cindy went to visit him during summer vacation. While driving, they got into a car accident. Cindy broke two ribs and suffered some minor injuries, but Justin was trapped in the car. By the time the rescue team arrived, it was too late. Although Justin's life was saved, his legs were amputated below the knee, and he has been in a wheelchair ever since."I was shocked. Justin, the perfect golden boy with a bright future ahead of him, had experienced a tragedy. His parents must have been devastated."Lucy never liked Cindy. Even when Cindy visited Johnsonville, she rarely had the chance to visit the family estate. During holidays, she wasn't allowed to formally pay her respects to her Grandma Lucy like the other children. Lucy had high hopes for Justin, and this incident made her so angry that she fell ill and was hospitalized for over a month due to a stroke. She still requires special care."Luk

Luke glanced at me, as though he had something to say but hesitated.Suddenly, a more urgent question came to mind. "Luke, what compelled you to dig into Cindy's background?"This was a deeply hidden family secret. Even Steven, a renowned private investigator in Johnsonville's upper echelons, had only managed to uncover surface-level details. The explosive information Luke had discovered must have required substantial effort and resources.Luke responded calmly, "You mentioned that Cindy seemed to have a vendetta against you, but you didn't know why. Later, Stephen also found it peculiar. We analyzed Cindy and Max's actions and concluded that you were indeed Cindy's target. Stephen suggested I start by investigating Cindy's background. During my investigation, I discovered that Cindy's mother, Susanne, had a brief connection with the teacher."At this point, Luke pursed his lips and looked at me earnestly. "I apologize, Jen, for acting without your permission."In that moment, I s

Luke furrowed his brow.“She believes that my father abandoning her mother led to her own miserable and painful life. That's why she always told Max how much she envied everything I had.”And now, she wants to destroy everything I have.At that moment, I finally understood that she never loved Max. Her so-called love at first sight was merely the beginning of her calculated revenge. Max was nothing more than a tool—a knife she used and then discarded.I couldn't help but laugh coldly. “Luke, you know what? I suddenly feel sorry for Max. He probably still doesn't realize that he was just a disposable tool for Cindy, used to fulfill her revenge. Max likely thought he was incredibly lucky, believing that Cindy, a wealthy heiress, had fallen madly in love with him. He was willing to be manipulated, thinking that getting rid of me would secure him a place in the Lansworth family. Little did he know, Cindy was merely using him to get back at my father.”Suddenly, a thought struck me. I

We both knew how we felt about each other, but neither of us made the first move to confess.“I gave birth to him in circumstances I couldn’t control,” Molly said, her hands tightly clutching her cup, fingers unconsciously tracing its edge. “I used to think about fighting back against the people who hurt me, but reality forced me to wake up. I couldn’t afford to lose everything.”She hesitated, her gaze dropping. “There are things from back then that I just can’t bring myself to tell him.”When I arranged for Luke and Molly to spend some time alone, the two of them mostly sat in silence.“Mrs. Walker couldn’t have children for years after her marriage. Luke was just a tool to help her secure her place in the family,” Molly explained.Mr. Walker was handsome, wealthy, and from a good family. After getting married, women constantly threw themselves at him. According to the information Wendy had dug up, Landon didn’t exactly push them away.In such a situation, Mrs. Walker, Ashleigh

Molly poured four glasses of juice and sat across from Luke.She looked like she wanted to say something but didn’t know where to start.I gave Ian a quick look.Ian took a sip of his juice and said, “Miss, the juice is sweet and sour—it’s so good!”“Drink it up, and I’ll pour you some more,” Molly offered.Luke interjected, “It’s almost time to rest. Don’t drink too much juice.”“I’m sorry, I don’t have experience taking care of kids,” Molly said, lowering her head. After a pause, she quietly repeated, “I’m sorry.”She was probably thinking of Luke as a baby.I clutched my stomach, pretending to wince. “Excuse me, Molly. My stomach hurts; I need to head back to my room.”As I stood, I grabbed Ian’s wrist.Ian caught on quickly. “Jen is a girl. She’ll get scared going back alone—I have to go with her.”Not giving Luke a chance to respond, I opened the door and said, “Mr. Walker, you stay and chat with Molly. Ian and I will be back in a bit.”In the hallway, Ian looked thoug

Molly wasn’t the type to make things difficult for others. She didn’t give the hotel manager a hard time.After the staff left, Molly turned to thank Luke and me. “Thank you for staying with me and helping me handle this.”Luke glanced at her but didn’t say anything.The silence grew awkward, so I quickly broke it. “You don’t have to thank us. We didn’t really do much.”“Would you like to come in and sit for a while?” Molly invited us into her room.Before either of us could respond, Ian, who’d been holding back his excitement, eagerly chimed in, “Yes, yes! Let’s go!”I sighed internally.Molly finally noticed the little one in Luke’s arms. “And who’s this?”“I’m Ian Lloyd,” he introduced himself cheerfully.But the moment he got a good look at Molly’s face, he let out a small “Huh?” and then turned to look at Luke.Luke frowned slightly, and their eyes met—a silent understanding passing between them. Ian immediately shut his mouth and swallowed whatever he’d been about to sa

Five hours later, we arrived in Sharonville.Before the trip, Luke had everything arranged. After landing, we took a car to the hotel he’d booked in advance.In the hotel lobby, we ran into Molly. She was walking with two middle-aged men in sharp suits, smiling as she chatted with them.When her eyes met Luke’s, her smile froze for a moment, then slowly softened as she stared at him without blinking.Luke didn’t acknowledge her. He walked right past, brushing by her shoulder as though she wasn’t there. From the corner of my eye, I saw her eyes redden.The two men exchanged glances but didn’t say anything. That night, however, they sent two young, handsome men to Molly’s room.Our room was on the same floor as Molly’s. After dinner out, we returned to the hotel and saw her standing at her door with the two young men.Their faces were powdered with heavy makeup, and they looked eager to please, practically glued to her.My thoughts immediately took a less innocent turn.Luke co

Amy messaging me at this hour was probably another complaint about other agencies trying to poach her, or how stressed she was about it all.The underlying message? She wanted me to contact Mr. Lloyd to secure better resources for her—a thinly veiled threat, essentially.Since several popular artists left One Entertainment, the company’s resources had started to dwindle.Mr. Lloyd’s return wasn’t just because of his love for acting. He also wanted to support the company’s artists, giving them more opportunities to shine.Amy had already begun to stand out. If she simply focused on honing her craft and stayed patient, she’d get her share of the spotlight.When Mr. Lloyd founded the company, his goal was to grow it into a powerhouse that protected its artists. Now, he had adopted a more laid-back approach: if an artist wanted to leave, they just needed to pay the penalty fee.Amy’s tactics wouldn’t change anything.I went back to reading my book.My phone buzzed again, and I ass

Mr. Lloyd's words carried a hint of reassurance for me.“Jen, Uncle asked me to create a travel itinerary!”Luke had been telling Ian lots of stories about Sharonville, and Ian had also looked up a ton of information online. He now knew every street in the city and how many shops were on each one.Carefully folding his sweaters, Ian placed them neatly into his suitcase, which was decorated with a cheerful Doraemon sticker.“I’m really looking forward to your travel guide, Ian!”“I’ve already finished most of it!” Ian was a serious little worker who never did things half-heartedly. If he said it was nearly done, he was probably putting on the finishing touches.I praised him warmly.“Jen, since the three of us are traveling together, we need to consider everyone’s preferences and suggestions.”“So, you want to get my input to finalize it?”“Exactly.”“Well, wherever you want to go is where I want to go. This trip, I’ll leave the planning to you.”Luke had work to handle in Shar

For the past few days, Luke has been picking me up and dropping me off at work.Reporters often linger outside One Entertainment, and it took a lot of effort for rumors about me and Luke to die down. I didn’t want them to resurface.Luke understood my concerns, so he always parked his car a block away from the company. Once he sent me a message, I’d grab Ian and head over.That evening, Luke prepared another full table of dishes for dinner.Ever since things thawed between us, I hadn’t said much during meals, but the atmosphere was much more relaxed than before.“She’s already in Sharonville,” Luke said.“Hasn’t she been out of the country for years? Will she be safe there alone?”He was talking about Molly.The Walker family has been a prominent family in Sharonville for generations, with deep-rooted connections and influence. Mrs. Walker is a respected figure, and many people in Sharonville owe her favors. It wouldn’t be surprising if someone decided to teach Molly a lesson on

I watched the behind-the-scenes footage, and Mr. Lloyd looked great. After stepping out of the spotlight for a few years, his demeanor has become even more composed and sophisticated, perfectly matching the calm and collected surgeon he portrays in the show.“He’s as brilliant as ever,” Beatrice said, her eyes filled with admiration. “As long as the co-stars hold their ground, this show is bound to be a hit.”“He has an exceptional eye for picking scripts,” she added, her gaze glued to the screen.I didn’t interrupt her. Instead, I got up and went to the kitchen to check on Ian’s progress.For someone so young, Ian took everything seriously. Standing on a small stool to make up for his height, he carefully worked on brewing coffee, his movements precise and methodical.“Waiter Number One, Ian Lloyd, at your service. Your oat latte will be ready soon,” he announced cheekily.I laughed at his playful tone and played along. “Waiter Number Two will now deliver orange juice to Mr. Ian

While Beatrice chatted with Ian, I brought the gifts to the living room."You're too kind, Ms. Middleton.""Ian bought these with his pocket money."I winked at Ian.He caught on quickly, nodding.Beatrice warmly invited me to sit.Fresh fruit and two plates of nuts were on the coffee table.She placed a fruit bowl before me. "Yesterday's blueberries are fresh—crisp and sweet."The large blueberries were covered in bloom. I took one and made space for Beatrice."What would you like? Coffee or juice?""Fresh orange juice for me, and Jen likes oat milk latte," Ian said, playing with a doll, squishing its face into different shapes.Suddenly remembering our earlier conversation, he dropped the doll and ran to the kitchen. "I've learned lots from Jen. I can make juice and coffee!"Beatrice praised him: "How impressive!"She started toward the kitchen, concerned.I held her arm. "Ian's a quick learner. He does everything properly. We can trust him.""He gets along so well wit
