Second Chance at Love: From Divorcee to the Billionaire's Bride Chapter 606
The news article listed the guest lineup for the upcoming dating show, and both Jethro and Penelope were confirmed as participants. After Jethro publicly admitted his relationship, he quickly joined the dating show, which caused many fans to unfollow him and even lash out. His social media accounts were flooded with comments from fans demanding that he break up with his partner. Jethro, however, remained silent, not responding to any of the comments. His lack of reaction left many fans disappointed, and his follower count continued to drop. Despite this, Jethro's schedule remained unaffected. Unable to get through to him, some people redirected their anger toward Penelope, flooding her social media with insults and vile comments. The things they wrote were so offensive that I felt a surge of anger and found myself rapidly typing out a reply on my phone. Just before hitting "send," I deleted my message. Engaging with these fools was pointless.Penelope had done nothing wrong an

I paused for a moment before getting into the car. Luke glanced at Carter’s car before hanging up his call.“Marianne made you breakfast,” Luke said, handing me a takeout bag. Inside were a sandwich, a refreshing salad, and a cup of milk.After sending Marianne a quick thank-you text, I quietly ate my breakfast. Luke and I drove in silence all the way to the office.Once we arrived, I made Luke a cup of coffee and brought it to his office. Then, I went to the break room and called the property management, expressing my frustration that they had allowed Carter into the building.They apologized repeatedly and assured me that Carter wouldn’t be allowed back into the complex.Just after I hung up, the police called, asking about the incident at the hospital the day before. Wanting to ensure Joey and Carter would turn on each other, I stuck to my story—Carter had harassed me first, and Wendy only intervened to protect me.There was no surveillance footage of the incident, but Joey ha

"This is all thanks to Stephen," Wendy said.Over the years, Stephen had kept a close eye on things, forcing Crystal to realize the dangers around her. She had since toned down her temper and become more cautious. After years of facing off with Stephen, Crystal had matured and become more composed.“He’s growing, but so are his opponents, and they’re not growing any slower than he is,” Wendy added in a more serious tone. “Carter has been a playboy for years, and if it weren’t for Crystal cleaning up after him, he would have caused serious trouble by now. If we could somehow get Crystal out of the picture for a while—send her abroad or something—it would be easier to deal with Carter.”“She knows Carter’s nature. If she were to travel overseas, she’d likely lock him down at home before she went—maybe even hire someone to watch over him.”“You’re right. We might not get through to Carter this way, so we’ll have to think of another approach.”I reassured Wendy, "Don’t worry. We’ll fi

Once I merged into the crowd, I glanced back over my shoulder. A short distance away, I spotted a black sedan moving slowly. The license plate was unfamiliar—I had never seen the car before.To be safe, I called for an Uber. When the Uber entered my neighborhood, the sedan stopped about a hundred meters from the entrance. From that distance, I couldn’t make out the driver’s face.After getting through the front gate and arriving home, I finally exhaled, feeling a bit more at ease.Doggo had been cooped up in a cage for a while and needed to burn off some energy. I unclipped his leash, letting him run free in the yard.I pulled out my phone and called Luke to ask who had been following me.“It was one of Crystal’s people,” he said.“She sent someone to follow me because of Carter’s case?” I asked.Carter had harassed me, but he hadn’t caused any real harm. Even with Stephen being a top-notch lawyer, Carter would at most face a few days in detention, apologize to Wendy and me, and

Luke had a reliable approach to things. After Jack William won a few bets, his confidence soared, and he got caught up in the thrill. With the excitement clouding his judgment, he began placing larger and larger bets.As the saying goes, “The house always wins.” His initial luck quickly faded, and he began to lose. After a few consecutive losses, Jack not only lost all his winnings but also dipped into his savings.Determined to win back what he had lost, Jack gambled even more, but this only led to greater losses. By the time he realized what was happening, his years of savings had vanished.At that point, he was bombarded with online loan advertisements, and his judgment slipped. One thought dominated his mind: “Just one more bet, and I’ll win everything back.”Following his impulse, Jack took out loans online. As soon as the money hit his account, he placed more bets, only to lose it all once again. Desperate to recover his losses, he borrowed even more until he hit his borrowin

Luke's intense gaze lingered on my back as I left the room, and I didn’t feel at ease until I made it back to my office. Sitting at my desk, I absentmindedly twirled a pen between my fingers, wondering what role I could play in all this.Luke had everything under control; the entire situation was in his hands. I felt like an outsider, a mere spectator. The vast gap between Luke and me left me doubting myself once again.But I quickly pulled myself together. I moved my mouse, opened my email, and began reading through my messages. Growing up, my parents had shielded me from life’s harsh realities, leaving me in a world that was simple and filled with warmth, free from manipulation and deceit. But now, I had to adapt and find effective solutions to whatever life threw at me. I needed to keep up with Luke and Wendy, not hide under their protection forever.One day, I would be their strong ally.---“The debts are all paid off?” I asked the next morning.After Luke and I finished our

Luke always had a knack for dealing with situations swiftly and decisively.“Jack William is a ticking time bomb for Crystal,” I said, my mind racing. “She’s terrified that something will happen while Jack’s in the hospital that could unravel everything.”Suddenly, an idea struck me, and my eyes lit up. “This is the perfect time for Stephen to step in!”Stephen, a heavyweight in the legal world, had been relentlessly pursuing Crystal for years. Now that he had finally found a weak spot, Crystal would be on edge, likely to make a rash move—perhaps even take action against Jack in the hospital.It’s much easier to place people in a hospital than in one of Kingston Industries’ facilities. We could lie in wait and catch Crystal in the act!I glanced at Luke, eagerly awaiting his approval.He gave me an approving smile. “That's an improvement.”I beamed like a child who had just been given a treat. Then, just as quickly, I froze in embarrassment. To cover my awkwardness, I cleared my

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Jack sat up in bed, struggling to keep his fear in check."You and Crystal are cut from the same cloth. You know her methods better than anyone—she won’t let you become a threat to her plans," Stephen replied."I don’t even know her. Why would I mess with her?" Jack turned over in bed, presenting his back. "I don’t care who you are. Stop coming to see me.""I’m Stephen, one of the victims from that case you were involved in years ago," Stephen revealed, his voice calm but firm. "Back then, you were just pawns—there was someone else behind it all.""You think you're better than the police or the judge?" Jack scoffed. "We were sentenced and served our time. Whatever you're trying to drag up is pointless. If you're here for an apology, forget it. If you're so upset, go complain to the judge and leave me alone!""Jack, you need to stay on your guard. You’ve already blackmailed Crystal once. Do you really think she’ll let you get another chance?"

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
