Second chances: Love or revenge? Chapter 114 It's seems as if the world had forgotten him
"Hmm?" Jenna was taken aback for a moment, then thought for a moment. "There seems to be such a saying, but it's not just the Quinn family. I heard that several domestic conglomerates are interested."When Jenna got off the plane that day, she bought some shares of Apex Corp on a whim, so she naturally paid attention to the news of the company these days. When Ella asked, she answered truthfully.But..."Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"Ella still lowered her head, as if thinking about something, and it took a while before she answered softly, "Nothing."Jenna felt that there seemed to be something more to her words.For a moment, Jenna felt as if a light flashed in her mind, but unfortunately, it was too fast for her to catch."Jenna."Jenna looked up. "Hmm?"Ella looked at her and whispered, "Can you take me to see him?"It took Jenna several seconds to understand that the "him" in Ella's mouth was Lucas. "Are you talking about Lucas? Why did you suddenly want to go see

"Of course," said Jenna as she closed the door behind her.The hospital room fell silent once again, with only the sound of Ella slowly wheeling her chair towards the bed.She stopped beside the bed, looking at the man lying there with closed eyes, as if forever asleep but still handsome enough to not seem real. The thorn in her heart had finally turned into a knife, twisting and hurting her repeatedly."Lucas..." she softly reached out her hand and gently stroked his face. "Thank you for saving me.""I lost my memory, only remembering things before my twenty-first birthday. They told me you were my ex-husband, and that you didn't love me, so you cheated on me and had a child out of wedlock.""But I can't understand, if you really didn't love me, why did you save me?" Her voice was low, as if talking to herself.The man on the bed didn't respond at all."The nurse said the doctor has determined that you are brain dead, but I don't believe it. You're so smart, so strong, how could you

The school agreed to her request, but what surprised Ella was that she was transferred to the School of Business.Ella was originally worried about running into Lucas in the same school. However, when she arrived at the school, she found out that Lucas had already started interning at a company. Even if she was his junior, she wouldn't have seen him much even if they were in the same class for a semester.By the time Ella finished her sophomore year, he had already graduated. The two of them, who had no contact in the first place, never met again. Ella was busy catching up on her first-year coursework and had no time to think about the boy who had appeared in her life and disrupted her life.She never imagined that he would become her husband in the future." Leo and Jenna both said that you don't like me. Leo may have ulterior motives, but Jenna wouldn't lie to me.""If you've never liked me, why did you risk your life to save me?""To repay the favor you did for me back then, whe

Ella Montgomery stared at the two pink lines on the pregnancy test, her heart hammering as a dozen emotions rushed through her. Pregnant? How on earth? She and Lucas had only been married for half a year, and they’d only been…intimate once. And that one time didn’t even count; he’d been as drunk as a sailor on shore leave. So, how could she possibly be pregnant? Just then, a voice came from outside the bathroom door, making her jump. “Mrs. Montgomery, sir is back.” Ella's heart skipped another beat. She quickly tossed the pregnancy test into the trash, feeling absurdly guilty—like a thief hiding evidence. But why should she feel guilty? She was Lucas Montgomery’s legally wedded wife, and she was carrying his child. If anyone had explaining to do, it was him. After a deep breath to steady herself, Ella stepped out of the bathroom, determined to share the news, but as soon as she saw him, her courage faltered. Lucas was by the door, kicking off his shoes, looking like he h

Ella woke up suddenly, gasping. The air around her felt thick and hot, as if someone had cranked up the heat to unbearable levels. Squinting her eyes open, she was met with the eerie orange glow of flames licking up the walls, smoke filling every corner of the room. She couldn’t breathe. Her throat scratched with every gasp, her lungs screaming for relief. Instinctively, she covered her mouth with her sleeve and tried to rise. That’s when she stumbled, her feet catching on something soft yet unyielding. She glanced down and froze. “Dad…” The word came out as a broken whisper. Her father lay still beside her, his face peaceful yet hauntingly lifeless. He had no visible injuries, nothing to suggest he’d been hurt—yet here he was, lying motionless. Panic clawed at her chest, but amid the terror, a strange familiarity washed over her. She recognized this place: her father’s factory workshop, his beloved pharmaceutical lab. Her mind raced, piecing together fragments of memory

Everyone in the cabin went silent, their eyes fixed on Lucas. He gave a mocking sneer, putting down the newspaper he’d been holding. His icy gaze turned to Ella, and he took slow, deliberate steps toward her. "Miss Kane," he drawled, his voice dripping with sarcasm, "you really live up to your name as the ‘Rose of the Battlefield.’” Suddenly, his hand shot out, grabbing her by the neck, his grip cold and unyielding. He lifted her toward the window with a dark glint in his eyes. “Do you honestly believe I couldn’t open this window right now and toss you out as fertilizer for the flowers?” The threat hung in the air, his voice low and venomous. Just then, Ella stumbled forward, her balance lost as the plane gave a sudden jolt. She fell against him, her heart pounding as his arms closed around her for a brief second, enveloped in his scent. Lucas froze, momentarily taken aback by her closeness, a flicker of something like surprise crossing his face before he hardened again.

Ella heart skipped a beat, her mind racing. Had Aunt Laura, Lila's Mom figured it out? "Lila is our daughter, who else could she be? Laura, you’re getting old and confused!" Lila's dad’s voice boomed across the living room. Aunt Laura's eyes narrowed, eyebrows arching up. "James Peterson, did you just call me old?" Her dad, known across the neighborhood for his strict but silent demeanor, rarely spoke to Aunt Laura so directly. Yet here he was, standing his ground with a tone Lila had only ever seen him use with stubborn vendors at the farmer’s market. “Stop talking nonsense and just tell us where the child was last seen!” His voice was sharp and commanding, cutting through Aunt Laura's attempted rebuttal. Aunt Laura’s face lost its color, her fingers clenched into a tight ball. After a pause, she muttered unwillingly, “The paternity testing center.” Ella's heart dropped. Could Aunt Laura have taken both children for a DNA test? “You had them tested? Laura, have you completely

Compared to little Kaia, who was all bright-eyed and giggly, Kai seemed far more composed as he carefully observed his mother, who had just walked in. He smoothly pulled out a chair for her, showing a maturity that was almost startling in someone his age, and poured her a cup of warm milk. “Mom, when did you get back?” he asked, studying her with that same serious expression that made him look like a mini-adult. “Didn’t you say your flight was delayed because of the weather?” Ella chuckled. Her son always had a way of getting to the heart of things, didn’t he? “Well,” she teased, giving him a mischievous grin. “I actually borrowed a plane from a friend and flew back overnight myself. Impressive, right?” Kai's eyes went wide with shock. His mouth opened slightly, looking both amazed and doubtful at the same time, as he tried to wrap his head around the idea of his mom piloting her way across the night sky. She couldn’t resist ruffling his hair, holding back her laughter. “I’m jus

Second chances: Love or revenge? Chapter 113 What's your plan with Leo?
There are two possibilities.The first is that someone has set their sights on Apex Corp and wants to take advantage of Lucas Montgomery's unconsciousness to swallow up the company. They deliberately create various crises to affect the stock price and then use a lower cost to acquire the company.The second possibility is that the Montgomery family themselves released a smokescreen to confuse the outside world and complete an internal reshuffle, achieving a "break to rebuild" effect.However, since there are only two people left in the Montgomery family, Leah Montgomery, who is not good at management and just wants to enjoy the fruits of their labor, and Lucas's Father, who has lost his equity and lacks the ability to act, Jenna believes that the second possibility can be ignored.So let's go back to the first possibility.Since someone is planning to acquire Apex Corp from behind the scenes, they will not really let the company go bankrupt. Instead, they will make a move when the st
Second chances: Love or revenge? Chapter 112 Apex Corp won't go Bankrupt
With this in mind, Jenna no longer questioned Leo’s decision.“I understand what you mean, Dr. Leo. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it,” Jenna said.Leo’s voice was gentle with a smile, “Thank you, Miss Jenna.”After hanging up the phone, Jenna got back in the car.The car started again and headed towards the hospital, but unfortunately, they ran into rush-hour traffic. What should have been a one-hour journey ended up taking two hours.Jenna had been busy filming and taking care of Kaia during her time in the United States. She hardly had any rest, and her body was exhausted. She was only holding on because she was looking forward to seeing Ella.But this traffic jam made her feel even more tired, and even her strong anticipation couldn’t keep her awake.Just as she was dozing off, Amelia suddenly said, “The situation with Amy being the third party has been reversed?”When Jenna heard the name Amy, she woke up with a start and turned to ask Amelia, “Amy? What situation has been rev
Second chances: Love or revenge? Chapter 111 The children should not be a shackle that bind them together
Ella subconsciously wanted to refuse.After all, she had lost seven years of memories and didn’t want the little girl to know immediately. After all, the little girl cried so easily. If she knew that Ella had forgotten her, she might cry until the pyramid of Gaza collapsed.But before she could refuse, the little girl had already handed her the phone. "Godmother! Mommy woke up! Do you want to talk to her?""She woke up? That’s great!""Your mommy must have known that Kaia was particularly worried about her and didn’t want Kaia to be sad, so she woke up quickly, right?"It had to be said that Jenna had some talent in taking care of children. With just two or three sentences, she had the little crybaby laughing.Ella had just been worried that she wouldn’t remember the godmother Kaia had mentioned, but now that she heard Jenna’s voice, she breathed a sigh of relief."Lila...my dear, you woke up?"Jenna’s voice was a bit steadier than Ella remembered, but the concern in her words remai

Leo sighed, his voice tinged with helplessness and pity.“Because I think if your mother hadn’t lost her memory, she wouldn’t want to have much to do with Lucas again. Even though this incident proves that he didn’t participate in the plot to harm your mother, he still had an affair with Amy while your mother was pregnant with you, which broke your mother’s heart.”Kai remained silent, his head bowed. After a while, he suddenly looked up and asked, “Uncle Leo, did he really have an affair?”Leo was taken aback and almost blurted out, “Of course!” He paused and continued, “Your mother had an accident back then because she found out about his affair and child outside, and had a fight with him. She left to go to your grandfather’s medicine factory in a fit of anger and happened to run into the fire.”Kai nodded thoughtfully.Leo thought Kai had finally accepted his explanation and was about to reach out to pat his head to comfort him. Unexpectedly, Kai spoke again.“However, Uncle Leo, c

“What?”“What did you just say about me suspecting Lucas before? Has everything been cleared up now? Did he marry me for some ulterior motive?”Leo’s hand, hanging by his side, unconsciously clenched.Although Ella had lost her memory, why did she still keep coming back to this name…“Leo? What’s wrong? Is there something difficult?”Leo took a deep breath. “We did suspect him before, but now, based on the evidence we have and his actions, he doesn’t seem to have been involved in the fire six years ago.”Ella listened, still confused.She just felt that Leo wouldn’t lie to her, so she nodded thoughtfully. Then she asked, “What about the nurse who said that if it weren’t for Lucas protecting me during the explosion, was it him?”“Yes.”“How is he now?”“He’s in worse condition than you. He hasn’t woken up yet.” Leo paused. “If you want to see him, I’ll take you to see him when you’re feeling better and can move around.”Ella thought for a moment and nodded. “Thank you, Leo. Even though
Second chances: Love or revenge? Chapter 108 This is not my face!
Before Leo could think about it, suddenly, there was a crisp sound from the side.Smash!His heart dropped. That was the unmistakable sound of glass shattering.Leo panicked and quickly turned to look at Ella, only to see Ella’s face pale, her hands covering her face, her voice trembling: "This is not me... Leo, this is not my face!"It was only then that Leo realized that Ella wanted to drink water just now but ended up seeing her current face reflected in the water glass.In this way, even if he wanted to hide it, he couldn’t hide it anymore.“Ella, listen—”“Don’t ‘Ella, listen’ me! What’s going on?!” she shot back, her voice trembling but demanding answers.Leo clenched his fists, his jaw tightening. This wasn’t how he wanted her to find out. But there was no avoiding it now.“Ella,” he said carefully, “calm down. This is you. Your face... it’s just... uh... been adjusted. Minor adjustments.”Ella blinked at him, utterly unconvinced. Her lips quivered as she bit out, “Leo, I may h
