Second Chance at Love: From Divorcee to the Billionaire's Bride Chapter 815
"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

Just like I was back then."Love had blinded him. He thought his girlfriend genuinely loved him, regardless of his fame. When he eagerly approached her about marriage, she showed her true colors after learning the company had shelved him. She insisted he had abandoned her and was only trying to reconcile so she'd delete her online posts. No matter how Noah tried to explain, she kept playing the victim, with tears in her eyes.""Noah thought she'd just misunderstood him because she couldn't reach him. He kept promising her a happy future, and to prove his sincerity, he transferred all his cars and properties to her name."I: ...Talk about being completely lovesick!How could someone who'd been in the entertainment industry be so naive!"After getting the houses and cars, she acted a bit nicer, pretending to advise him to focus on his career since they'd have a child to support. Under her influence, Noah contacted his agent, hoping he could help negotiate with the company for work

From the start, KK had just used the little one as a stepping stone. Once he and Noah had no more value to her, she tossed them aside like trash.She only cared about what she could gain - Ian absolutely couldn't live with her!"If people online keep digging, I wonder if we can keep his background hidden much longer.""Mr. Lloyd used to be a top star, and the entertainment industry loves creating fake couples. He's worked with many actresses and had lots of rumored relationships," I said, giving Beatrice a meaningful look.Beatrice: "Ms. Middleton, are you suggesting we find someone to take the fall?""There must be some single, former starlets among the actresses he's been linked to.""There are.""With Mr. Lloyd about to make his comeback, bringing up old rumors would give them some publicity. Their response would boost their popularity too."Popularity could be monetized, and in showbiz, truth and fiction blur together. An old rumor wouldn't hurt a has-been celebrity much.

Now that she was becoming a well-known celebrity, paparazzi would follow her outside, so we met at the company to avoid being disturbed.Penelope wore a white sweater with jeans, looking casual and natural.Compared to before, she carried herself with a new sense of ease and confidence.When I saw her, I stood up and waved.Penelope was delighted to see me. Being a company artist, some people in the employee cafeteria recognized and greeted her.She responded with a friendly smile."I wanted to invite you for Japanese food, Jen, but some reporters kept following me. I couldn't shake them off.""That just shows you're getting more famous."I got her a plate of food according to her taste and placed it in front of her."Fame means money."Penelope was focused on making money now. Compared to her career drive, I felt like a bit of a slacker."What do you plan to do after you make money?""I want to invite you to travel the world with me, Jen. Would you be interested?""So I'v

"Right now, I'm just hoping he'll be gracious enough not to sabotage me after our contract ends.""Luke says he's a decent person.""Let's hope Mr. Walker's judgment is right."I almost blurted out "Of course it is, he's the genius Luke," but caught myself just in time.My trust in him had become bone-deep.Little did I know that in this situation with Jethro and Penelope, not only would he not announce their breakup, but he'd frequently appear in the same productions as her, with numerous scenes together.During filming, he repeatedly called for retakes, claiming it was to achieve better results.At first, Penelope thought it was just his high professional standards, but as it kept happening, she realized he was deliberately making things difficult for her.Penelope's life experiences had taught her patience, so when he demanded retakes, she complied without a word.Jethro was like someone punching a pillow - he couldn't hurt Penelope, and it only frustrated him more....M

She wore subtle makeup and carried herself with natural elegance, reminiscent of a delicate English rose.Approaching the podium, she allowed a technician to adjust her microphone.At the administrators' signal, the auditorium fell silent.The dean formally introduced Molly's impressive credentials.She had graduated from one of the country's most prestigious pharmaceutical programs, studied abroad, then served as faculty for three years before joining the Marie Research Institute. Her track record included developing several breakthrough medications for serious illnesses.Over the years, numerous pharmaceutical companies had tried to recruit her, but their offers went unanswered.News of her return triggered a flood of pharmaceutical representatives to Riverside City, all hoping to discuss potential collaborations.The university had hired private security to protect her from unwanted interruptions.Unable to reach her directly, company representatives had resorted to attendin

Mrs. Walker was from the prestigious Walker family of Sharonville - what slipped through her fingers could fund several university buildings!Can't afford to offend someone with such deep pockets!The Vice Dean was sweating profusely with anxiety.Though furious at being humiliated in front of Molly, Mrs. Walker quickly composed herself. "I see there's an important event in progress. We can tour another time."She cast a subtle glance at Molly before turning to leave.The Vice Dean hurried after her, stammering, "Mrs. Walker, the Dean didn't mean...""It's quite alright. Let's explore other areas."Mrs. Walker maintained an air of gracious dignity.Soon, accompanied by the Vice Dean, she left the auditorium.The Dean addressed the audience, "I deeply apologize for the interruption to Dr. Anderson’s lecture.""You should apologize to the students. Their time is valuable, and you've wasted it."Molly glanced at her notes, then, not giving the Dean a chance to respond, delivere

Seeing her discomfort, the Dean didn't insist she stay."I can have my driver take you back to the hotel, Dr. Anderson.”"I've been to Johnsonville before. After so many years, I'd like to walk back and reminisce about the past."“It has changed dramatically over the years - it's not the city you remember. Let me at least have someone accompany you."Molly politely declined the Dean's offer and left alone.Her desire to reminisce was a pretense - she was waiting for Mrs. Walker.After some thought, I put on my sunglasses and followed at a discreet distance.As I'd expected, Mrs. Walker couldn't resist confronting Molly.David pulled the car alongside Molly and lowered the window. "Miss Anderson, Madam would like you to get in.""After all these years, you're still her lackey!" Molly's eyes flashed with mockery."So you remember me, Miss Anderson.""I might forget others, but never you!"Her words carried hidden meaning. David shifted uncomfortably. "Miss Anderson...""If y

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
