Second Chance at Love: From Divorcee to the Billionaire's Bride Chapter 590
Carter, who had been about to slap Wendy, was hit in the groin. He let out a pig-like squeal, clutching himself as he rolled on the ground, howling in pain.The scene drew many onlookers. Fearing a disturbance, the nurse on duty rushed over to check the situation.Wendy wasn't satisfied and wanted to add a few more kicks."Wendy...""Since we've already started, we might as well make it count.""..."Wendy had a point.I released her waist and joined her in kicking Carter a few more times.Wendy was fighting Carter for my sake; I couldn't stay uninvolved."You... you two..." Carter caught his breath slightly, glaring at Wendy and me with bloodshot eyes.Wendy shielded me behind her. "I'm the one who hit you! This is just a warning. If you keep harassing us, I'll beat you so badly your own mother won't recognize you!""You... you better not leave!" Carter, helped by the nurse, sat down in a nearby wheelchair.Seeing him shaking in pain, the nurse asked where he was hurt."I

Carter, still seething from Wendy's earlier confrontation, replied irritably, "No.""So you've slept together then."Me: ...Wendy was always so blunt."Mind your own business!" Carter sensed Wendy had an ulterior motive for asking and grew wary."You didn't deny it, proving my guess was right.""Wendy...""You, shut up!" Wendy, having gotten the information she wanted, quickly dropped her smile. "Keep yapping, and I'll slap that big mouth of yours!"Having known Wendy for a long time, I wasn't surprised by how quickly she could switch expressions.Carter, however, was different. He forgot he was still on the phone, his mouth slightly agape in disbelief at Wendy's rapid mood change.Wendy glared at him, looking menacing. "What are you staring at? Want me to gouge out your eyes and use them as marbles?""You...""You're just asking for it!"Wendy slapped the chair, making as if to stand up. Perhaps still shaken from the earlier confrontation, Carter's body involuntarily shu

"I'm not falsely accusing you. The police officer saw you try to hit me first."Wendy innocently covered her face. With her already slender frame and hunched shoulders, she appeared weak and helpless, evoking sympathy.Wendy had always been a skilled actress. As she turned the tables, Carter's still-raised hand clenched into a fist.The veins on his hand and forehead bulged. Like a raging beast, he seemed ready to pounce and tear Wendy apart.When the police and guards weren't looking, Wendy made a grimace at him.In an instant, her expression shifted back to one of distress.Wendy had a knack for infuriating people. Her quick grimace made Carter lose all reason. Even with the police present, he was ready to lash out and assault Wendy to vent his anger.With the police nearby, this would only escalate the situation. They quickly restrained him, warning, "Don't move!""Thank you, I was so scared just now," Wendy said as she removed her hand from her cheek.Her right cheek was n

"Yelling at us won't do any good. We base our investigation on facts," the police officer said firmly.Carter's words caught in his throat, and his face turned red with frustration. "I'll say it again: Wendy struck first!""We've questioned people, and no one can confirm that for you.""Even if no one can confirm it, that doesn't prove I provoked them first!" Carter was furious at being unable to clear his name. "How many times do I have to repeat myself? Wendy's a drama queen. She beat me up before you arrived at the hospital. I didn't fight back while she was hitting me!""Based on your description, we've found several eyewitnesses, but none can confirm that Wendy struck first.""You're the police! If they can't prove it, find a way!" Carter pointed to his own face. "I'm a man. If I had fought back, could she have beaten me up like this? Come on, use your brains!"Taking taxpayers' money without doing any real work!Carter wanted to curse but feared leaving a bad impression on

When Carter learned that Stephen was Wendy's representing attorney, he cursed, "That bastard just won't leave me alone."Crystal had repeatedly warned him not to mess with Stephen.Carter sat in his chair, his face dark and his eyes bloodshot, looking terrifying."Mr. Kingston...""Go tell Wendy I'm willing to settle," Carter said reluctantly.Carter was known for his vicious character and ruthless methods. When someone crossed him, he would do everything in his power to make their life miserable.Wendy had publicly beaten him, causing him to lose face completely. In front of the police, she had twisted the facts with her silver tongue. Carter absolutely refused to swallow this insult.His lawyer was no match for Stephen and couldn't gain any advantage against him.The lawyer was about to advise Carter to settle and pretend nothing had happened, but before he could speak, Carter voluntarily suggested a settlement. The lawyer was overjoyed."I'll contact the other party immedia

From their conversation, it was clear that the relationship between Carter and Joey was complicated. However, we couldn't glean any more details. If the two of them were to have a falling out, many hidden facts would likely come to light—impossible to keep secret.I had to admit, Wendy's move was brilliant. I gave her a thumbs-up. "Wendy, you're so smart!""That good-for-nothing is harassing you, and Luke didn't react?" Wendy asked."Why are we talking about him again?" I sighed.Luke and I were aware of our feelings for each other, but due to practical reasons, we were both at a standstill.Wendy knew about this, but even so, I didn't want to discuss this budding yet fragile relationship too much."Sweetheart, you're his employee. If a lowlife is targeting you, he should take some measures to ensure his employee's safety as your boss," Wendy pressed."He's busy with work. There's no need to bother him with such a small matter," I deflected."You're truly a considerate employee

Stephen had been Joey's protector for years. Even without romantic feelings between them, defending her had become his instinct.His voice was cold and full of warning. "Miss Smith, you can eat your fill, but you should watch what you say.""Mr. York, you're such a smart guy. How have you been so stubborn about this for so long?" Wendy gazed at the blurry reflection in the window. "Joey is the editor-in-chief of First Media Magazine. She has influence at the magazine and connections in the industry. With social media being what it is today, hasn't she ever thought about using public opinion to expose Crystal's true colors?""There was a popular Netflix show about school bullying recently. What was it called again? Let me look it up." Wendy pulled out her phone and searched. "Ah, 'The Glory.' From the comments, you can see how much people hate bullying. This show got everyone talking.""Joey's a media-savvy person. If she really wanted payback, she would have used this chance to tak

"Come on! Just take us a few hundred meters further," Wendy said, clearly satisfied with Stephen's reaction.She leaned back against the seat, smiling at him. "Mr. York, let's be frank. You don't want to drive us because you're afraid I'll reveal more truths, right?""The car is nearby; it'll be here in a minute. You can wait outside," Stephen insisted, having just finished ordering the ride.Mr. York urged us to get out after calling the car."There's a saying: 'You can't wake someone who's pretending to sleep.' It fits you perfectly," Wendy remarked as she unbuckled her seatbelt, preparing to exit.I followed her lead, opening my door as she got out.We had barely closed the car doors, not even having a chance to say goodbye to Stephen, when he sped off, clearly eager to avoid any further interaction with us.Wendy pursed her lips at his retreating car. "Men, huh!""Stephen knows the truth. He protects Joey because he feels responsible for her," I explained.Stephen was a ma

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
