THE CEO PLUS-SIZE EX-WIFE Chapter 80: Think Of Your Son
Mrs. Anderson struggled to muster the courage to reveal the truth to Andrea, knowing that Andrea deserved to know after the betrayal that had occurred in the past. However, the guilt of abandoning Lucas back then weighed heavily on her, making it impossible for her to speak up."Mom, is everything okay?" Andrea asked, noticing Mrs. Anderson's hesitation and the emotions playing on her face.Forcing a smile, Mrs. Anderson replied, "Andrea, remember to love your husband, treat him well, and help heal his wounds."Confusion clouded Andrea's expression as she tried to make sense of her cryptic words. Mrs. Anderson, unable to elaborate further, simply stood up, her sorrow evident in every step as she walked away.Andrea observed her actions with deep thought as she prepared to depart."Mom, I'm heading out now," Andrea announced before rising to her feet. She considered going to her room to speak with Mrs. Anderson about what was troubling her, but she had a client waiting and needed to ge

After standing still at the staircase for a few minutes, Mrs. Anderson finally mustered the determination to climb the steps decisively, leaving Tony behind without a word.Despite his initial suspicions about Lucas Anderson's identity, Tony's doubts were solidified after his confrontation with Mrs. Anderson.As he walked out of the Anderson living room, Tony reached for his phone in his pocket and placed a call. "Fred, I need you to look into Mrs. Anderson, especially during her pregnancy with Valentine Anderson."With the conversation over, Tony ended the call, got into his car, and drove away from the Anderson mansion, oblivious to the fact that his visit had already been discovered.In the soft glow of the dim room, Lucas Anderson sat intently before a canvas, his brushstrokes bringing to life a portrait of himself, Andrea, and Pete."You are always hiding your talent from the world," a voice floated through the air, its familiarity removing the need for Lucas to glance toward the
THE CEO PLUS-SIZE EX-WIFE Chapter 82: Having A Nice Time
As Anne took a step toward Lucas Anderson, ready to embrace him, Pete stepped in front of his father protectively and declared, "Don't hug my daddy. Only my mom can hug him."Lucas's lips twitched into a fond smile as he gently patted Pete's head and affirmed, "That's my boy. You're right, Pete; your mom is the only one who should hug me."Standing beside them, Andrea's cheeks warmed with a blush, feeling as if she were an invisible bystander in the intimate exchange between father and son.Anne's visit to Vegas City was no casual outing. A star of her caliber wouldn't typically be found in a local cinema without good reason. She was there specifically to see Lucas.Feeling a surge of anxiety, Anne quickly shed her incognito look, revealing the famous visage that graced countless screens and magazines. She had assumed Lucas hadn't recognized her because of her attempted disguise."It's me, Anne, Lucas," she said with an excited quiver in her voice."I don't know you. Let's go, Andrea,

Andrea, unaware that she had already been caught, placed the plucked hair inside a sachet and dialed a number on her phone."It's done. Come to my study," Andrea said into the phone before ending the call and entering her study room.A few minutes later, a man entered Andrea's study room."Ma'am Andrea," the man called out respectfully as he stood before her."Doctor Hard, please have a seat," Andrea gestured towards the empty chair in front of her.Without hesitation, Doctor Hard sat down. However, before Andrea could explain the reason for inviting him over, her phone started ringing.Answering the call, an anxious and angry voice came through the phone's speaker, "Andrea, it's your fault. If my mom dies, you're responsible for it."Andrea frowned upon recognizing the caller as Benita. Her frown deepened as Benita continued, "This isn't over. You haven't won. I'll make sure you regret everything you've done."The call ended, leaving Andrea even more puzzled. She quickly made another
THE CEO PLUS-SIZE EX-WIFE Chapter 84: I Am Lucas Anderson
Tony's confidence in his assumption stemmed from his past investigation of Valentine Anderson six years prior, carried out under Mr. Singer's orders. The individual before him exhibited no resemblance in speech or behavior to Valentine Anderson in any way."I am not Valentine; my name is Lucas Anderson, his twin brother," Lucas calmly stated, neither confirming nor denying Tony's suspicions.Tony's brow furrowed in surprise at Lucas's response; he had anticipated a denial."Aren't you afraid I'll reveal the truth to Andrea?" Tony questioned, his eyebrows furrowed deeply.Lucas merely shrugged, a smile playing on his lips. "It wouldn't matter. Do you think she's unaware? She grew up with my brother, married him for five years. Do you believe you understand Valentine Anderson better than she does?"Lucas's words struck Tony with the truth, rendering him momentarily speechless. Andrea seemed to prefer the falsehood that Lucas was Valentine rather than acknowledge the reality."What are y

Before Benita's outstretched arms could reach Andrea's hair, a hand swiftly seized both of Benita's arms at once.Benita's eyes, wild and bloodshot with fear, widened in terror as her trembling lips formed the name "Lucas."With a reassuring smile, Lucas Anderson intervened, asking, "Sis, what were you trying to do?"Standing behind them, Andrea furrowed her brow, shocked to hear Benita refer to her husband as Lucas."I'm sorry," Benita stammered, her face a mask of horror.Releasing her arms, Lucas Anderson casually remarked, "You owe her an apology," nodding towards Andrea.Without hesitation, Benita quickly offered a sincere apology, saying, "Andrea, I'm truly sorry. I take back my words. I didn't mean them."Having said her piece, Benita wasted no time and hastily fled the ward in a panic, resembling someone desperately escaping from imminent danger.Andrea's expression darkened as she observed Benita's unusual behavior. She knew that Benita held her brother Valentine Anderson in

Anne's face was a mask of shock, and upon seeing this, a wave of satisfaction washed over Andrea."Please, take a seat," Andrea said, gesturing gracefully to a chair nearby as she herself settled into her own seat.Anne's gaze dropped to her hands, her fingers twining nervously as she presumably doubted Andrea's claims. Noticing Anne's skepticism, Andrea took the opportunity to flaunt her wedding ring conspicuously, her sense of triumph growing."Anne Rodrigo, I'm glad you've come to visit. I've submitted a proposal to your team to consider you as an ambassador for our product line. Since you're here, it would be my pleasure to discuss the opportunity with you and introduce you to the product personally," Andrea stated with a confident air.However, before Andrea could delve into her pitch, Anne cut her off. "Mrs. Andrea, you don't need to go through the introduction. I'll discuss it with my team, and we will sign the contract."Andrea's brow creased in confusion. This was not the usu
THE CEO PLUS-SIZE EX-WIFE Chapter 87: Who Is The Masked Man?
Despite his evident displeasure, masked man stepped out of the car, his gaze lingering on Lucas Anderson's car as he drove off into the distance.At that moment, Anne approached him. "Ten, why do you insist on wearing that mask? You're not a celebrity; nobody's going to recognize you," she said, her tone laced with frustration.Without a hint of warmth, the masked man faced Anne and replied, "You should go back to A-country. He doesn't seem to have any affection for you."Anne's resolve hardened, her fists clenching tightly. "No way! I'm not leaving; I’ll stay right here," she retorted defiantly.The masked man torch-like eyes simply gave her a cursory glance before turning away, leaving the scene without another word.Left alone, Anne's expression betrayed a mix of helplessness and unwavering determination. She took out her phone and quickly dialed a number. As soon as the call connected, she spoke into the receiver, "Did you manage to get the picture?"A brief, unembellished "Yes" c

When Andrea and Valentine Anderson saw Pete holding hands with Agatha as they walked into the church, Andrea was pleasantly surprised, while Valentine Anderson was shocked.The guests whispered among themselves, trying to understand what was happening.Valentine was shocked because he knew how many men he had stationed where he had hidden Pete.Valentine's gaze fell on Lucas Anderson, whose clothes were ripped, trousers dirty, and head messy, his entire body almost covered in dust. Valentine realized who had rescued Pete, and his eyes burned with anger."Pete!" Andrea cried out in surprise and joy, tears rolling down her cheeks. She took a step forward, trying to climb down from the altar, but Valentine Anderson stretched out his arm and grabbed her, forcefully pulling her to himself. He took out a gun, holding Andrea hostage."Don't move, or she will die!" Valentine Anderson roared in rage, his eyes bloodshot. Why is it so hard to complete their wedding vows again? he thought in dism

Seeing this, Andrea was shocked and deeply disappointed. Her heart shattered into a million pieces as tears streamed down her face. Her lips trembled as she asked in disbelief, "Val, you—"She didn't know what to say, feeling suffocated as the air in the room seemed to press down on her. She shut her eyes in pain, tears continuing to roll down her cheeks."Andrea, if you want Pete to stay alive, marry me tomorrow morning. I'll be waiting for you at the church. If you fail to show up, don’t blame me for being ruthless." With that, Valentine Anderson turned on his heel and strode out of the room.Andrea collapsed to the floor, bursting into tears. She couldn't believe that Valentine doubted her. After years of marriage and knowing him, his lack of trust broke her heart.The door creaked open, and Agatha walked in to see Andrea on the floor. She immediately rushed over. "Andrea, get up. We will definitely find Pete and bring him back to you."Andrea shook her head, sobbing dejectedly. "I

Lucas frowned; he hadn't expected Tony to scold him so furiously."Has he been knocked silly by the kick just now?" Lucas pondered.While mulling it over, he retorted coldly, "You've gone insane."After speaking, he turned to re-enter the house, but Tony stubbornly said, "I won't leave until you explain how you are Pete's father."Lucas was irritated by Tony's words, his eyebrows furrowing with impatience. He glared coldly and replied, "I'm not in the mood to talk nonsense with you. You’re probably drunk or drugged; that's why you're spouting this nonsense."Lucas didn't take Tony's accusation to heart at all. To him, it was utterly nonsensical and unreasonable.Gritting his teeth with clenched fists, Tony took a step forward, but he didn't rush to attack. He wasn't a masochist and feared another vicious kick from Lucas, whose martial arts skills were too good for him to compete with.Sneering, Tony cursed unhappily, "I'm not drunk. It's you and your family who are drunk and on drugs.

Tony suggested, "Andrea, why don't we go to the hospital and get the results? That might be better."After thinking it over, Andrea agreed. They left the Presidential Hotel and drove to the hospital. When they arrived, Andrea's doctor, Doctor Kone, was already in his office waiting for them."Mrs. Singers, I thought you might not need the DNA test results, but just in case, I kept them safe. Here they are," Doctor Kone said, extending an envelope towards her.With trembling hands, Andrea took it. Nervous, she forgot to thank Doctor Kone and immediately pulled the DNA test slip from the envelope.As she read the paper, her pupils dilated in disbelief. She looked at Doctor Kone, stunned. "Doctor Kone, does this mean they have a father-son relationship?"While Andrea was knowledgeable about the data, nothing seemed to make sense to her.Doctor Kone, who had supervised the test, was aware of the final result. Without hesitation, he confirmed, "Yes, they are father and son."Tony, sitting

Agatha fell silent, pondering over Andrea's words. After a moment of consideration, she asked tentatively, "Andrea, do you want to marry him?"Andrea remained silent for a full minute, seriously contemplating the question. Finally, she shook her head resolutely. "I don't want to."Agatha nodded seriously and began to advise, "If you don't—"Just then, Andrea's secretary opened the door, interrupting their conversation. Both women turned their heads toward her.Realizing her mistake, the secretary quickly spoke up. "Ma'am Andrea, your husband is here to see you, and he sounded very urgent."Andrea was surprised to hear that Valentine had come to the company, as Lucas had never visited while they were living together as husband and wife.Agatha urged Andrea, "Go ahead, I'll finalize what we discussed."Andrea nodded, stood up, and followed her secretary. She saw Valentine sitting in the waiting lounge, his palms covered in bandages. When he saw her, he sprang to his feet, smiling sweetl

Housekeeper Win was taken aback by Tony's sudden anger towards Valentine Anderson, whom he had been promoting. Curious, she asked, "What did Sir Anderson say that made you so angry?"Tony roughly let go of his grip on Valentine, causing him to lose his footing and struggle to stand."Mrs. Win, I will be on my way," Tony replied unhappily, turning around and walking away without looking back.Valentine struggled to his feet. Despite his vision playing tricks on him, he managed to stand and slowly began climbing the staircase. Although Housekeeper Win wanted to help, she was worried about upsetting Valentine further, so she watched helplessly as it took him thirty minutes to climb the staircase.As Valentine staggered towards the bedroom, she sighed ruefully and shook her head in pity, convinced that Andrea had made a poor choice in Valentine.Valentine barged into the bedroom, surprising Andrea, who was sitting on the bed, shocked by his appearance. They had known each other since chil

Valentine Anderson drove directly to the hospital, having already called his personal doctor. Arriving, Doctor Steve was taken aback to see that the man who had just spoken to him on the phone looked different from the Valentine Anderson he remembered."It's me, Steve. I need your help," Valentine said as he noticed Doctor Steve staring at him in silence.Though Doctor Steve was quiet, his mind was racing. He knew Valentine had been a bomb victim, and recent news reports had mentioned him, though Steve had dismissed them as baseless rumors. Now, seeing Valentine looking exactly like the deceased Pascal Willow, he couldn't deny the reality anymore."Let's go to my office," Doctor Steve finally said, snapping out of his thoughts and quickly making a decision.They walked into the office together and sat down, facing each other. "I need you to do a DNA test," Valentine said immediately, impatience clear in his voice. He had no time for small talk or reminiscing; he needed answers about

Since it was revealed that the man who had been posing as Pascal Willow was actually Valentine Anderson from Vegas City. Following this revelation, members of the Willow family have been causing disturbances at the mansion. In response, Margaret Willow has significantly bolstered the security measures.Now, more than twenty checkpoints are set up at the gate, each manned by over fifty armed personnel. The imposing security setup even managed to intimidate Valentine Anderson, who was visibly furious.Valentine Anderson took a deep breath, clenched his fists tightly, and nervously strode forward. To his surprise, he wasn't stopped as he walked into the mansion. He entered through the gate and proceeded straight to the house without being questioned or halted midway.The Willow family's butler was already at the door to welcome him. The middle-aged man smiled kindly at Valentine and said warmly, "Sir Pascal, madam has been expecting you. She is in her study room waiting for you."Valenti

The more Valentine Anderson stared intently at his phone screen, the tighter his grip on the device became. The DNA test analysis at the end revealed he shared only 25% of his DNA with Pete, indicating that he was Pete's uncle rather than his father."Impossible!" he bellowed, startling Housekeeper Win, whose pen slipped and drew a line across the paper she was writing on.Smoke seemed to billow from Valentine's ears as the vein on his forehead bulged with anger. He shoved the phone into his pocket, yanked off his apron, and stormed out of the kitchen, his expression dark.Housekeeper Win was so frightened that she opened her mouth several times to ask what was wrong but couldn't utter a word. Anxious and afraid he might head to Pete or Andrea's room to hurt one of them, she quickly followed him.But her fears were unfounded. Valentine Anderson walked out of the house, got into his car, and drove away from the Singer Mansion into the dark night.Relieved but curious, Housekeeper Win t
