Second Chance at Love: From Divorcee to the Billionaire's Bride Chapter 808
"She's still under contract with One Entertainment - she must have powerful backing to leak those photos so boldly.""She's digging her own grave.""With her reputation already questionable, releasing these photos will make agencies avoid her like the plague. It's like when I exposed Max's true nature in that livestream - many companies rejected me afterward. This will end her career," I said. "Don't worry, Beatrice, I have evidence to clear Ian's name.""Evidence to clear Ian?""Yes.""Ian is innocent? But many people witnessed him pranking female employees."Seeing is believing - how could so many people be wrong?"The bread and box did come from Ian's bag, but he had no idea there were cockroaches and frogs inside.""Paul Cornell put them in Ian's bag?"Beatrice knew Paul had framed Ian for those school incidents.I nodded."That horrible child! Poor Ian was misunderstood for so long!"Beatrice clenched her fists, looking ready to teach Paul a lesson."I'll email you th

After getting the USB drive, I'd reviewed the footage showing Paul putting the cockroach and frog in the bread and box - they matched the items in the photos exactly.Seeing my confidence, Ava changed her tone."Ms. Middleton, I'm desperate. All these years, I've worked so hard, trying to succeed and make money for the company. But I'm unlucky - even with all the resources they gave me, I couldn't make it big. I feel guilty. Using those photos to get two albums was my last gamble. If I'd succeeded, the company would profit too!""If we gave in now and produced your albums, you'd use the same trick again when they failed."Once people like her get a taste of blackmail, they never stop."No! I wouldn't do that!"I smiled coldly and reached for the door."Ms. Middleton, please ask Mr. Lloyd to release me from my contract.""Miss Fisher, I'm too new here. I don't have that kind of influence with Mr. Lloyd."I wanted to point at my face and ask if it looked important enough to have

Mrs. Walker's car followed at a steady distance. At a turn, David suddenly accelerated, forcing me to pull over.I stayed in my car.David got out and knocked on my window.After taking several deep breaths to calm myself, I lowered the window slightly."Ms. Middleton, Mrs. Walker would like to see you.""Whatever it is, say it here."I made no move to get out.David gave me a cold smile and gestured. "This way, please."Tired of Mrs. Walker's condescending attitude - treating me like a pet she could crush at will - I stared straight ahead."Ms. Middleton, you’re smart enough to know you can't win this fight.""I'm stubborn enough to try."David: ..."Since leaving Luke, you've become so busy. It's nearly impossible to see you."Mrs. Walker stepped out of her car holding a snow-white cat.She wore a beige hat and navy cashmere coat over a fitted dress. Even past fifty, she carried herself with grace.She exuded the lazy elegance of a wealthy socialite, but only those who

"Why should I care who she is?" As soon as the words left her mouth, her expression suddenly changed and she turned to look at David.David pulled out his phone and quickly stepped aside to make a call.Mrs. Walker fixed me with a piercing gaze. "Have you met her?"I stayed silent and rolled up my window.Through the glass, Mrs. Walker gave me one last searching look before turning away and getting back into her car.I started my engine and drove off.Molly was studying pharmaceutical biology, and Johnsonville College of Pharmacy perfectly matched her field. Based on Mrs. Walker's reaction, she must have figured out who Molly was.After searching for Molly for so long without success, the fact that she'd brazenly returned to the country was nothing short of a slap in the face to Mrs. Walker.Mrs. Walker was someone who needed to be in control of everything. She wouldn't let things slip from her grasp. She'd now focus all her attention on dealing with Molly, leaving small fry li

Doggo was fresh from his bath, all soft and fragrant. Just as I was about to nuzzle his little body, he squirmed free from my arms and jumped to the ground.Worried he might hurt himself, I quickly called out "Doggo!" and reached out to catch him.Doggo was nimble though - he rolled once on the ground, got up, and darted straight to Luke's feet.He started tugging at Luke's pant leg, trying to get his attention.I: ...What a ungrateful little one - already more attached to Luke than me!Luke looked down as the little one whimpered and jumped up, pawing at his leg.I walked over to the little guy. "Doggo..."The moment I spoke, he acted like I was some kind of threat and quickly scooted away.The store clerk joked, "He's so smart! Just like us - always going for the handsome ones."I: ...Luke bent down and picked up Doggo. "Missing Goofy?"Doggo barked immediately at hearing "Goofy's" name."I'm sorry, Mr. Walker. He's bothering you - I'll take him away right now."I ste

Five minutes later, Luke slid into my car.I suspected he'd planned this whole thing, though I had no proof.Taking a deep breath to suppress my irritation, I started the engine."If you're not in the right headspace to drive, I can take over," Luke offered."That won't be necessary, Mr. Walker."There was definitely an invisible anger burning inside me that needed an outlet.After making sure I had a safe distance from the car behind us, I slammed on the brakes several times.What annoyed me even more was how Luke seemed to anticipate it, barely leaning forward, while I nearly flew out of my seat.My attempt to make him look foolish had backfired, and my anger slowly turned to frustration."Jenny Smith has been tailing Emily lately."Was Mrs. Walker behind this?I dismissed that thought immediately. "Mr. Walker, your charm knows no bounds. Looks like you've got another devoted admirer."Without realizing it, Luke had successfully diverted my attention."But certainly not

"There are toys and dog food I bought for Doggo inside.""Mr. Walker...""Consider it payment for the ride home."I: ...Every move of his seemed carefully calculated!I couldn't refuse anymore.He sorted out all the toys and dog food he'd bought for Doggo.Doggo was hanging onto his shoulder, refusing to come down."Doggo..."My patience exhausted, I put on my stern face, trying to intimidate him into getting down from Luke's shoulder.Doggo wasn't having any of it.He was totally focused on the idea that staying with Luke meant seeing Goofy, completely ignoring my warning looks."He just misses Goofy."I kept staring at Doggo, ignoring Luke's comment."There's no irreconcilable conflict between us that requires cutting all ties. There's no need to force Doggo and Goofy to stay apart.""You're the one who wanted to draw the line, Mr. Walker.""I don't recall ever saying that.""You never said it out loud, but your actions made your feelings crystal clear. You..."He

"How do you know about Molly?" Mrs. Walker's tone was sharp. "Did Luke tell you?""Mrs. Walker, confirming rumors isn't particularly difficult.""You investigated me!"Having her long-buried secret exposed, Mrs. Walker became furious with embarrassment."I just followed the breadcrumbs and learned some things I probably shouldn't have," I said. Mrs. Walker saw me as an ant she could crush at will. I wanted to show her that even a cornered rabbit will bite back. "If you don't make things difficult for me, I won't mention this to anyone else.""Jen, think carefully. Going against me won't end well for you.""Mrs. Walker, you never considered me one of your own from the start."Except for her children, everyone else was beneath her - not even worthy of shining her shoes."A stupid woman who was deceived by a man and got her parents and child killed, now trying to act smart with me."Mrs. Walker's mocking words stabbed like a knife into my heart, making me lose my breath for a m

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
