Elsewhere, Celine sat looking at the window overlooking the garden. It was quiet, with only the wind whispering outside. Footsteps were heard approaching, then Devano's figure appeared, carrying a bouquet of white roses and a small blue velvet-lined box in his hand."Miss Celine," Devano called softly, walking over to her.Celine turned her head, smiling slightly at the sight of the bouquet of white roses in his hand. "You always knew my favorite flowers, Dev."Devano looked at her, taking a deep breath before kneeling before her. "And I also know the woman who always occupies my thoughts," he said as he opened the velvet box, revealing a diamond ring that glittered under the lights.Celine was startled, her eyes widening for a moment. "Devano what are you doing?""Miss Celine, I've been wanting to say this for a long time. I love you," Devano said firmly, his voice soft yet full of sincerity. "And I want you to be my life companion."Celine sighed softly, feeling the warmth and at th

Celine sat in her study, behind a neatly organized desk with files and an open laptop. Devano stood in front of her, looking at her seriously. There was something in Celine's gaze that he had never seen before-a strong, determined will."So, you really want to do it?" asked Devano, leaning forward slightly, trying to get a deeper understanding of her intentions.Celine nodded firmly. "I'm not messing around, Dev. Wiliam's company must fall into my hands. No matter what." Devano was silent for a moment, hesitating. "Celine... this means we have to play with a pretty risky strategy. Wiliam's company is one of the strongest in the market. And... well, you know who's behind that company."Celine smiled a small, cynical smile. "Who else if not Nicolas? And maybe this is the best way to get back at him for everything he's ever done to me.""Is it really about revenge?" asked Devano, trying to gauge what was really in Celine's heart.Celine sighed, her gaze directed towards the window. "It'

Celine had just walked into the house after a full day outside. As soon as the door opened, Calvin ran up to her, his face flushed with excitement. However, Celine's facial expression immediately changed, feeling like she didn't want to discuss the thing that had just popped into her mind."Mommy, Mommy, when can I see Uncle Nico again?" asked Calvin with sparkling eyes, jumping up and down a little with excitement. Celine stopped her steps for a moment, looking at her son with a serious face. "Calvin, Uncle Nico is very busy. You know that right? He works a lot, so we have to be patient."Calvin didn't seem satisfied with that answer. He came closer again, holding Celine's hand tightly. "But I miss Uncle Nico, Mommy. Uncle Nico is good. Why won't Mommy let me see Uncle Nico again?"Celine took a deep breath, trying to hold back the anger that was starting to emerge. "We've met Uncle Nico many times, Calvin. But right now, he's really busy.""I just want to play with Uncle Nico," Cal

Nicolas began to feel something strange inside him. His body was heating up, and his heart was beating faster than usual. He felt restless, as if there was an urge he couldn't control. Realizing something was wrong, Nicolas tried to control himself. However, Ruby's presence nearby only made the situation worse. The woman, without hesitation, kept getting closer."Nico... you look so hot," Ruby said in a spoiled voice, wrapping her arms around his neck. She touched Nicolas' shoulder, caressed it gently and slowly lowered her hand to his back. "Maybe you need someone to make you feel better?"Nicolas took a deep breath, trying to hold himself together, but the effects of the drug were starting to take over his mind. "Ruby, I... I think you should go now," he replied in a heavy voice, trying not to show the effects of the drugs he had taken without meaning to.Ruby, however, did not give up so easily. She smiled meaningfully, then whispered near Nicolas' ear, "Don't kick me out, Nico. I

Ruby returned to her room, but her mind remained on Nicolas. She stared at her reflection in the mirror, catching her emotional breath. "I won't give up," she muttered softly, reassuring herself. "I'll make Nico see me as more than just a formality."Meanwhile, elsewhere, Celine sat in her office with a serious expression. Devano, who was sitting in front of her, handed her some files that he had collected. "This is the latest data I got about William's company, Celine. Their biggest weakness is in the investment line. I'm sure we can work our way into this situation."Celine listened carefully to every word Devano said. Her eyes narrowed, examining the files. "Good. Then, what's the first step we should take?""We should start by infiltrating their major investors," Devano replied, pointing to one name listed on the document. "If we can convince them to withdraw funds slowly, William's stock will falter, and that's our chance to get in."Celine smiled slightly, a nod of her head indi

In a café, Celine and Devano sat opposite each other, lost in their serious conversation. Celine occasionally looked out the window, making sure no one was listening. But in fact, they were completely unaware of the presence of Ruby, who sat at the table behind them with her head bowed, listening to every word attentively."Devano," Celine began in a low tone, "I want this to remain a secret. Calvin, he doesn't need to know who his real father is."Devano nodded, understanding Celine's point. "But you're sure? Calvin is getting older, and sooner or later, he will definitely ask. That boy is smart, Celine."Celine sighed, then looked down at her coffee cup. "I know. But, for now, let things be like this. I don't want Nico to know about Calviin, especially if he thinks he can take Calvin away from me."Devano looked at Celine with a concerned look on his face. "You're not afraid that Nico will find out one day? I mean, Nico's not someone who's easily fooled. He might suspect something."

Ruby drove with a cold face and sharp eyes. She saw Calvin's small figure walking on the side of the road with his nanny, laughing without knowing the danger he was in. "Sorry, Calvin... it's for the sake of my future with Nicolas," Ruby muttered softly, her heart pounding but her face showing no hesitation.She pressed the gas harder and the car accelerated. In an instant, a loud crash rang through the air, followed by the screams of the people who witnessed the horrific scene. Calvin and his nanny were thrown onto the asphalt, Calvin's nanny's body lying motionless, while little Calvin was lying a few meters away, with blood flowing around his body.Ruby stepped on the gas pedal again, leaving the scene with a flat face, without turning her head.At the hospital, after getting the news of the accident, Celine ran to the emergency room with her breath catching, her face pale, and her eyes full of worry. Devano, who followed behind her, tried to calm her down, but Celine was already o

At the police station, Celine sat tensely, waiting for the results of the investigation that had just begun. Her mind was filled with the image of Calvin lying helplessly in the hospital. Celine's hands clenched into fists, trying to hold back the anger that burned her every nerve.Before long, a policeman entered with a serious face. "Ms. Celine, we have found evidence that the car that hit your son is registered to a woman named Ruby."Celine was stunned, but her anger soon flared up again. "Ruby? The Ruby that Nicolas has been close to?" she muttered angrily."That's right, Miss. The license plate of the car mentioned by the witness, and after a search, it was indeed registered in Ruby's name. We will immediately detain her for questioning."A few hours later, Ruby was brought into the police station with her hands cuffed. Her face looked cold, expressionless. Her gaze was blank, as if she had no guilt at all.Celine stood up from her chair with unstoppable anger, she stepped close

Nico was still looking at Celine with eyes filled with desire. However, Celine suddenly pushed Nico's body onto the bed. Nico raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised by Celine's actions. "Oh? My wife wants to take over tonight?" he asked in a teasing tone. Celine smiled meaningfully. "I just want to make sure you don't dominate too much. I'm in control once in a while, how about that?" Nico chuckled, his hands folded behind his head. "Go ahead, darling. I want to see how far you can control me." Celine looked at him confidently, then slowly brought her face closer to Nico. Her lips touched her husband's neck, giving small kisses that made Nico take a deep breath. "Celine..." Nico whispered, his body starting to react to his wife's gentle touch. Celine enjoyed how Nico was now under her control. "Just calling my name? I thought you were more expressive than this, darling," Celine teased as she continued her movements. Nico laughed softly, but there was a frustrated tone i

In the parking lot of Nico's company, Elissa stood in her tight red dress, waiting confidently. Her eyes lit up when she saw Nico getting out of the car, wearing his neat suit. Wasting no time, Elissa immediately stepped closer, smiling sweetly. "Nico," she greeted softly. Nico, who was closing the car door, only gave a glance. "What's wrong?" she asked expressionlessly. Elissa shook her hair, trying to flirt. "I happened to be in the neighborhood and thought of taking you to lunch. How about it? We can have a nice chat and relieve some stress." Nico gave a small snort, then looked at Elissa coldly. "Sorry, I'm busy." Elissa was silent for a moment, not expecting Nico's answer to be that sharp. "So busy that you can't eat lunch? Come on, it'll only take a minute." Nico shook her head firmly. "I already have other plans. If there's nothing important to do, I'll go in first." Without waiting for a reply, Nico walked towards the entrance of his company building. Elissa

At an exclusive café, Bryan sat with a grim face. He glanced at his watch, waiting for Elissa who finally appeared with a haughty face. She sat opposite him, smiling faintly as if nothing had happened. "What did you call me in such a hurry?" asked Elissa, crossing her legs gracefully. Bryan gave her a sharp look. "I want to know why your plan failed miserably." Elissa frowned. "What do you mean?" Bryan snorted in annoyance. "You said that you had misunderstood Celine and Nico. You even deliberately answered Celine's video call in the middle of the night as if you were in Nico's arms! So why are they even more intimate now? Didn't you realize they were making out in front of the office this morning? Celine kissed Nico in front of many people. I even saw it with my own eyes!" Elissa was silent for a moment, then bit her lip. She really did not expect Celine to act like that. She should have been angry, staying away from Nico, instead of getting more aggressive! "I don't unde

In front of the office, Nico stopped the car and turned to Celine. "It's here, sweetheart. I'm waiting for confirmation from you about the company's problems, okay?" Nico said with a smile. Celine nodded, but instead of getting off immediately, she looked at Nico with a seductive gaze. "Wait a minute, I haven't given you anything yet." Nico raised his eyebrows, confused. "What?" Without answering, Celine immediately pulled Nico's face and kissed his lips. Nico widened his eyes, surprised by his wife's sudden action. Some of the staff who had just arrived at the office saw the incident and started whispering. "Oh my, our CEO is getting more romantic now." "Her husband is so handsome, they're so compatible." "Gosh, I'm jealous! When will I ever have a relationship like this?" Nico chuckled between their kisses, then pulled away slightly. "My wife, you're so aggressive! Aren't you embarrassed?" he whispered. Celine just smiled sarcastically. "Why should I be ashamed? I ju

On a cozy sofa, Nico and Celine sat side by side, both of them enjoying the company they had lost. Celine looked at Nico with a sincere smile, her heart felt light after all the tension that happened before. "Nico," Celine began to speak, her voice soft. "I really feel happy tonight." Nico looked at Celine, his eyes full of concern. "Me too, Celine. We have to follow Elissa's game. What does she mean? Why would she do this." Celine smiled, then turned her gaze out the window. "Sure, because she loves you, Nico.""But I only love you, Celine."Celine smiled. "Nico. I want to have more time with you, more moments like this. Like the old days, when we first became husband and wife." "Like back then?" Nico asked, curious. Celine turned her head, looking at Nico's expectant eyes. "Yes. Nico, I want you to be by my side more. This time, I want us to really feel every moment in joy and sorrow." Nico was silent for a moment, as if contemplating. "I... I want that too, Celine. I re

Celine had just arrived at the Mansion after a tiring day at the office. As soon as she stepped inside, a servant immediately approached her with a hesitant face. "Madam, here is a letter from Mr. Nico." Celine frowned, her heart suddenly racing. With slightly trembling hands, she received the letter and immediately read it. >_Celine,_ > _I won't stay at the Mansion anymore. I'm tired of your cold attitude. I don't know how else to behave towards you. If indeed I am no longer valuable in your eyes, I choose to leave._ > _Tomorrow I'll take Calvin home5._ > _- Nico._ Celine's eyes stared at the letter without blinking. Her hands crumpled the paper. Anger and emotion were raging inside her. Why did Nico give up so quickly? Celine felt something stuck in her chest. Not just because Nico was leaving, but because in her heart of hearts, she knew that all of this was happening because of herself. Jealousy and anger had taken her too far. Without thinking, Celine rushed out
Shattered Trust: The Revenge of a Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 101
Nico walked into the mansion, his steps heavy. Ever since he left Celine's office, his heart was completely broken. Celine, his wife, whom he used to love so much, was now so cold and distant. Nico felt very disappointed, and there was a feeling that he could no longer put up with all this. He headed to his bedroom, opened his closet, and started packing his things. Maybe it was time for him to leave, to find peace elsewhere. She didn't know what was really going on, but one thing was for sure: she couldn't afford to stay in a relationship that was becoming increasingly strained. "Why does it have to be like this?" she whispered softly, staring at the pile of clothes she was putting into the suitcase. Each item he put into the suitcase felt heavier and heavier, like a big decision he had to make.Suddenly the door sounded, and Calvin appeared in the doorway, a worried look on his face. "Daddy, Daddy, where are you going? Why are you packing?" Nico turned his head and smiled a li

After meeting Celine, Bryan immediately went to see Elissa. Bryan sat casually in a quiet corner of the cafe, sipping his coffee with a satisfied expression. Soon, Elissa arrived wearing sunglasses and a long coat. She sat in front of Bryan and took off her sunglasses, revealing a sly smile. "How are you, Elissa?" Bryan opened the conversation, casting a quick glance at the woman. Elissa leaned back in her chair haughtily. "Excellent. I have good news for you," she said as she waved to the waiter, ordering a drink. Bryan raised one eyebrow. "Oh? I like good news. Tell me." Elissa smiled with satisfaction. "Celine and Nico are in pretty bad shape right now. I managed to get Celine to misunderstand me. She sees me and Nico in a 'misleading' position. The result? Celine got cold feet and walked away from Nico." Bryan gave a small chuckle, then nodded in satisfaction. "Well done, Elissa. You're really sneaky." Elissa shrugged her shoulders. "I just did what needed to be done.

Chapter 99After dropping Calvin off at school, Celine immediately rushed to the company. It didn't take long before she arrived at her company.However, Celine had just stepped into her office when Devano, her assistant, came in with a panicked face while carrying some files. "Mrs. Celine, there's a big problem," Devano said with a slight gasp. Celine let out a long breath, trying to calm herself down. Her morning had started with tension with Nico, and now there was another problem. "What problem?" "The company's stock dropped five percent," Devano said as he handed over the financial report. "And this is no ordinary drop. There are indications of hacking, someone may have sold a large amount of shares in a suspicious manner." Celine's eyes narrowed sharply. "Who is the culprit?" "We're still investigating," Devano replied, "But that's not all, Mrs. Celine. There's another problem." Celine straightened her back. "What other problems?" "There are allegations of misuse o
