Second chances: Love or revenge? Chapter 69 I would only bully one person
Ella didn’t sleep a wink that night. Every time she closed her eyes, the haunting memories from six years ago came flooding back, vivid and unrelenting. By morning, she dragged herself out of bed, dark circles under her eyes betraying her sleepless night.As she stumbled into the kitchen, her little chatterbox, Kaia, was already bouncing around like an energizer bunny. The moment Kaia saw her, she stopped mid-bite of her toast and tilted her head. "Mommy, did you stay up late working again?"Ella gave her best “I’m totally fine” smile, though she felt far from it. “No, sweetie. Mommy just had a little trouble sleeping.”Kaia, ever the tiny detective, narrowed her eyes. "Insomnia? Is it because of Uncle Lucas again?"Before Ella could respond, her son Kai, with his all-knowing look, chimed in. "Mommy, is Uncle Lucas giving you insomnia?"Kaia gasped dramatically, her big brown eyes widening. "Huh?! Did that bad Uncle Lucas bully you again? I knew he’s a big meanie!"Ella sighed, rubb

Ella appeared lost in thought. “Really? Who could have bought him?”“As far as I know, it’s likely the Lopez family.”“The Lopez family?” Ella deliberately asked, “Which Lopez family? I’ve never had any feud with anyone surnamed Lopez.” At this point, Ella suddenly raised her head, pretending to be shocked. “Mr. Montgomery, you’re not talking about Amy Lopez…”“This matter should have nothing to do with her.”Ella’s heart skipped a beat. Lucas was so anxious to clear Amy’s name before she even mentioned who it was. Was he trying to protect Amy after all?If so, why did he pretend to be indifferent or even disgusted with Amy in front of her before?Lucas had no idea what Ella was thinking and continued, “If it was her doing, she shouldn’t be so calm knowing that I was injured.”Lucas had been hiding his injury from everyone, even the company, saying that he was on a business trip. On the one hand, he wanted to avoid trouble, and on the other hand, he wanted to test Amy’s attitude.Fr

Ella had barely hit send on her message when she tucked away her phone, straightened her posture, and glanced at Lucas, who lay motionless on the hospital bed. His features were strikingly handsome, but in the dim light of the room, they carried an air of indifference so intense it almost felt like a barrier. "Mr. Montgomery," Ella began, her voice steady, “I’ve wrapped up my work for today. Should I order dinner for you?” Without even looking up, Lucas replied coolly, "No need." His detached tone made the room feel even colder. Ella lingered for a second, unsure if she should say something else. Ultimately, she decided against it and picked up her bag. “Alright then, I’ll head out.” As soon as Ella stepped out of the room, Lucas’s gaze shifted to the window. The darkening sky of Fairfield was heavy, promising rain. A vague sense of unease stirred within him. His sharp eyes caught sight of the umbrella by his bedside, and a sudden thought struck him. “Wait. Did Ella even h

“Lila!” Ella had been lost in her thoughts when she heard Leo's voice behind her. She turned around quickly, a bit startled. “Leo, you’re here.” She was about to apologize for standing him up tonight, but before she could say anything, her eyes fell on the stranger standing next to Leo. Ella paused, visibly confused. “Who’s this?” “This is Ethan, the friend I told you about. He’s the tech wizard.” Ethan nodded politely. “Hello, Miss Kane.” Ella quickly collected herself. “Hello, Mr. Ethan. I’m really sorry about tonight. I invited you out, but then… all this happened.” “It’s fine,” Ethan replied curtly, his tone all business. “Leo told me about your daughter going missing and mentioned something about surveillance. I thought I’d come by and see if I could help.” Ella’s eyes lit up. She had been wondering if the surveillance footage had been tampered with. Hearing that Ethan was tech-savvy gave her a flicker of hope. “Yes, I suspect someone messed with the footage,” she admitte

Zane opened his mouth, desperate to argue.But one look at Lucas Montgomery's frosty expression, and he clamped it shut.It wasn’t that Zane didn’t want this job anymore—it was crystal clear that in the past few days, Lucas had found a new favorite. Now, he was starting to treat Zane like an outdated relic.Swallowing his grievances, Zane pulled out his phone and tracked Charlie’s driver, Luke. Sure enough, the app confirmed Luke’s location—he was hanging out with Charlie at a bar in Fairfield.Thirty minutes later, Zane parked on the neon-lit street of Fairfield infamous Heavenly Sky Lane. The place was lined with upscale bars teeming with Fairfield’s elite: Instagram-ready influencers, wealthy trust-fund kids, and business tycoons unwinding after ruining someone’s stock portfolio.Lucas stepped out of the car and immediately looked like he regretted it. The mix of cigarette smoke, spilt tequila, and designer perfume hit him like a slap to the face. He wrinkled his nose and muttered,

Mrs. Kane agreed with the idea and didn't insist on following Ella."Lila, you finished your meal so quickly?"As soon as Ella got off the car, Leo came up to her, thinking that she was worried about Kaia's situation and couldn't eat well, and was about to comfort her.Ella said directly, "Leo, can you accompany me to the Montgomery family?"After all, the Montgomery family was a famous family in Fairfield.Ella couldn't just bring the police to their door. After all, she had no other evidence except for Lucas' words. Going to their door would only result in being humiliated.If she went alone, the Montgomery family might not even open the door for her and just leave her hanging.Only by bringing Leo, with his identity as the young master of the Quinn family, could her proud former mother-in-law have a chance to show up and talk to her."The Montgomery family?" Leo's eyes showed a shocked expression, and then he seemed to suddenly understand something. "You mean Kaia was taken away by
Last Updated : 2024-12-01Second chances: Love or revenge? Chapter 75 Are you going to send your own mother to Jail?
Due to this incident, Lucas’s heart had completely turned cold. He rarely visited the old house again until Theo was born. In order for Theo to have a complete childhood, he reluctantly reconnected with Leah. Unexpectedly, he had indulged her arrogance to the point where she even resorted to kidnapping. And up until now, there wasn’t a hint of remorse, nor any fear. It was as if she truly believed she was above the law. Thinking of this, Lucas couldn’t help but sneer, “I won’t beat around the bush with you, Leah. If you hand over Kaia unharmed, I can pretend that today’s events never happened. Otherwise…” “Otherwise what? Are you going to send your own mother to jail?” Leah didn’t believe that Lucas would do such a thing. Even if he really had lost his conscience, public opinion would pressure him, and her family wouldn’t just sit idly by. It was precisely because of these reasons that Leah was so confident when she took Kaia away. “It won’t come to that. However…” Lucas p

"It should be here."Leo looked around while talking.Ella was about to get out of the car, but Leo suddenly grabbed her hand. "Wait, Ella," he said. After speaking, he took something out of the bag and placed it in Ella's hand. "Take this with you."Ella looked down, her eyelids twitching violently. When she raised her head, she was shocked and puzzled. "Leo, you are...""Just in case," Leo said solemnly. "This place is too remote, and there are only the two of us. Don’t forget that Lucas already guessed your identity. In case he wants to use you to worry about Kaia, and do it here..."Ella was stunned. It took her a long time to say, "But he...""Ella, men are very complicated," Leo said solemnly. "Just because he saved you doesn’t mean he won’t hurt you at other times, and even if he doesn’t want to, you can’t guarantee his mother or the people behind him won’t take advantage of this opportunity.""So, just in case, take this with you."After a moment’s hesitation, Ella still took

Just as Ella was about to speak, the elevator door across the hall suddenly opened with a ding. It was Mr. and Mrs. Kane, Lila's parents, who had arrived.Ella couldn't spare the time to answer Leo's question and quickly gave Mr. and Mrs. Kane a brief update on Kaia's situation. The elderly couple listened with a mixture of anger and heartache before asking Ella, "Have they caught the kidnapper? Who was it?"Ella thought for a moment before telling the truth, "It was Mr. Lucas's mother.""Mr. Lucas?" Mrs. Kane widened her eyes. "The Mr. Lucas who saved your life? Isn't he...?" Mrs. Kane stopped herself mid-sentence, realizing that Kaia's "biological father" Leo was still present. She quickly changed the subject with an awkward smile. "What I mean is, Mr. Lucas is a good person, right? You don't even know his mother. Why would she kidnap Kaia for no reason?"Ella was about to say that she didn't know what Mr. Luca's mother was thinking, but Leo spoke up first and explained, "I heard t

However, Leo's words made Ella feel particularly heavy-hearted.She had missed out on her two children's growth for so many years, how could she talk about education? It had always been Mr. and Mrs. Kane who had been helping her to teach her children, and instead, she had lost her children twice during the time she had returned to Fairfield.She was not a qualified mother at all.Seeing Ella's sudden gloomy expression, Leo was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had said something inappropriate. He couldn't help but feel guilty and distressed."Ella, don't blame yourself too much. Today's incident is not your fault. Who could have thought that Mrs. Leah would do such a thing?"Ella was about to speak when her son, Kai, tugged at her sleeve. "Mom, the doctor seems to be coming out."Ella immediately stood up.Sure enough, there was a commotion in the examination room, and less than ten seconds later, the door opened. The doctor looked at her and Leo. "You are Kaia's parents,
