The Billionaire EX-Husband Wants To Reconcile Again! Chapter 16: Attending the School's Anniversary Celebration
"Many high-ranking officials and prominent business figures will attend the school's anniversary celebration. I hope everyone will prepare well..."In the meeting room, the principal was tirelessly emphasizing the importance of the school's 100th-anniversary celebration. Naturally, during such events, students and faculty members were expected to contribute performances. It was all just a heap of unnecessary trouble to Alice, or so she thought to herself.She wasn't paying much attention to the principal's speech, and her mind was preoccupied with the ongoing project in the laboratory.In just a month, her project would be unveiled to attract investors. At this critical final stage, everything needed to be meticulously checked and optimized to ensure there were no mistakes."Alright, that concludes today's meeting. I'll send the detailed plan to everyone's inboxes. Alice, stay behind; I have something to discuss with you."Several people glanced knowingly at Alice as soon as the princ

Louis heard Ron mention that some lecturers would perform, and his heart skipped a beat for some inexplicable reason.Unaware of Louis's thoughts, Ron smiled and asked, "Did you happen to know a lecturer at our university, Mr. Louis?"Louis was about to say no, but Ron quickly nodded as if he'd figured it out. "Ah, how forgetful of me! Of course, you must be here for Ms. Maya. Don't worry, and her performance will be up soon!"Ron smiled knowingly, though Louis wasn't sure what he thought he understood. Only then did Louis realize how casually this principal spoke to him, almost like an old friend, with no hint of pandering or a push for investments. Even Louis's long-time acquaintances didn't converse this easily with him—especially after he took control of the Adonis family.Eventually, Louis merely nodded, letting Ron assume whatever he wanted. Yes, he had come here because of Maya's invitation—or at least, that's what he told himself.Unlike Louis's muted reactions, the students w

The music blared, shaking the ground beneath it. Sultry bodies swayed to the rhythm, bottles of expensive liquor sparkled under the dim, colorful lights, and the crowd tangled in heated dances, some passionately kissing. The murky, vibrant lighting gave the scene an otherworldly, almost sinister allure.This was the MidNight Bar—a lavish escape for the debauched or those seeking relief from life’s pressures.Few knew, however, that the bar was one of the many assets owned by the powerful Adonis family. The first two floors catered to entertainment, but the third floor was an exclusive gathering place for influential figures. Without connections to the Adonis family, one would never set foot there.At that moment, in a private lounge on the third floor, expensive bottles of liquor were scattered across the room. Four men occupied the space: two were flirting with their girlfriends, one seemed restless, and the last, seated at the center and clearly the host of this gathering, had his h

Alice ended her workday and, upon stepping out of the university gates, noticed an official car waiting across the street. She immediately recognized it as the car Louis frequently used for work.Sure enough, the car door opened, revealing Louis’s assistant.With a smile that held only coldness and mockery, the assistant addressed her, “Miss Alice, please get in.”The assistant never called Alice “Madam,” a clear indication that, despite being Louis’s legal wife, Alice’s status was neither acknowledged by Louis nor accepted by others.Alice didn’t seem to care and silently got into the car. She gazed out the window, the golden hues of the sunset casting an ethereal beauty across the ground.“Miss Alice, tonight you’ll be accompanying the chairman to a party. He asked me to remind you to prepare well and not embarrass him,” the assistant said while driving.Of course, Louis hadn’t said the latter part, but she enjoyed embellishing things like this. Having worked for Louis for many year

Time passed just like that, without grand parties. Alice's life was actually quite normal, except for the fact that after work, she had to endure being “tortured” by Louis every night.Ever since the charity gala, it was unclear what had gotten into Louis, but he had suddenly become much more aggressive than usual. Alice even thought she wouldn’t survive that night! What was he, a breeding stallion?Alice rubbed her waist, cursing Louis silently in her heart.“What’s wrong?” The voice of the “stallion” suddenly rang out.Alice looked at him, pursed her lips, and said nothing, as if sulking.Seeing her like this, Louis found her a little adorable. He pinched Alice’s cheek, leaned down to her ear, and whispered softly, “Don’t tell me you’re still not satisfied?” As he spoke, his large hand started to rub Alice’s waist.Alice’s entire face turned crimson, her eyes hazy, and her waist so soft she could barely sit upright. But her legs were still trembling—there was no way she could let Lo

Louis dragged Alice out of the bar and drove home himself, his speed so reckless it seemed he was flirting with death.The moment they arrived, Louis pulled Alice into the house and violently threw her onto the sofa.Her wrist throbbed in pain from his rough grip. Under normal circumstances, Alice wouldn’t complain; she’d softly ask Louis what was wrong. But tonight, something had changed.The one-year term of their contractual marriage had expired. The divorce papers had already been automatically submitted and approved. Legally, they were no longer husband and wife—this was stipulated in the marriage contract Alice had signed.Alice stood up and faced Louis, her voice calm as she said, "You're hurting me."Louis, eyes red with anger, roared, "So what if I’m hurting you? I only grabbed your hand! Or do you not want to hold my hand anymore and would rather hold someone else’s—like Silas’s?"Alice rubbed her temples. "There’s nothing between Silas and me." She was genuinely surprised w

"Write me the latest report on Experiment R-X000, the submission deadline is in two days." The brief and fluent voice made the intern straighten up instinctively and quickly respond, "Understood, Dr.!"After assigning the task, Alice left the lab, removing her rimless glasses from her nose as she walked and gently rubbing her forehead.Lately, the workload at the lab had been overwhelming, and for some reason, even though she had been apart from him for just two days, Alice found herself frequently dreaming about Louis. Every time she closed her eyes, he was there."Could it be that I love him without realizing it?"Alice joked with herself, but she knew that was impossible.After leaving the lab, Alice unlocked her phone and saw two consecutive messages from Silas.[Are you free?][I’d like to invite you to lunch. I’ll be waiting for you at the school gate this afternoon.]Alice’s eyes were devoid of emotion. While she felt that Silas was the most normal one among Louis's friends, th
Last Updated : 2024-12-20The Billionaire EX-Husband Wants To Reconcile Again! Chapter 6: The Gossip
Evening, at the most luxurious hotel in Mystia City, this was the venue for the technical exchange banquet between cities.In this era, the development of science and technology was a focal point for many, carrying hopes of a revolutionary breakthrough that could transform the world and propel humanity toward a more advanced future. Under Louis's leadership, even the Adonis family had invested heavily in this field.It was undeniable: anyone capable of creating a groundbreaking and practical invention would undoubtedly become a globally influential figure. As a result, scientists garnered a certain level of respect from society. Esteemed scientists, in particular, were highly sought after, with even the wealthiest individuals willing to spend fortunes to lure them into their companies.Yet, amidst the prominent scientists—many with white hair or none—stood Alice, a young woman so strikingly youthful that she was often overlooked.People didn't associate her with being a scientist when

Alice looked at Maya, suddenly smiled, and said, "That's right, quite a coincidence."Seeing that Alice wasn't intimidated by her presence, Maya secretly gritted her teeth, but outwardly, she showed no reaction.At this moment, the department head glanced at the two of them, his expression puzzled: "Oh, do you two know each other?"The department head was a chubby man with squinty eyes and a peculiar expression that always made him look extraordinarily cunning. In reality, his mind was also running wild with speculations.He knew about Maya's influential background and was aware of the rumors surrounding her—that she was Louis's secret crush. He also knew that Maya had easily secured a lecturer position at the university thanks to her family's influence.Although the Adel family had declined over the past few years, a skinny camel is still more significant than a horse. Ordinary people like him stood no chance of competing with the Adel family.Meanwhile, Alice was just a poor girl wi

"Is what Alice said true? Do you have a crush on me, Louis?" Maya looked at Louis, hesitating as she spoke these words.Her voice was filled with apprehension and surprise as if she couldn't believe such a thing could happen.Louis paused when he heard Maya's question. If it had been in the past, he might have panicked at the revelation of his feelings or confessed and accepted whatever response Maya gave him. But now, his mind was preoccupied with Alice's retreating figure and her careless words before leaving.Louis didn't fully understand his feelings for Alice, but he knew one thing for sure—he didn't love Maya.Maya hesitated, watching Louis with an anxious face, though inside, she was ecstatic.Before this, she had never sensed any affection from Louis. That's why she chose to go abroad to advance her career. But after hearing from friends and family that Louis was in love with her, Maya had been filled with regret! If only she had known about his feelings earlier, she could hav
The Billionaire EX-Husband Wants To Reconcile Again! Chapter 13: Maya Takes Action
The party quickly came to an end. Some attendees left with significant gains—partnership deals secured or even successfully recruiting a scientist for their companies. Of course, some walked away empty-handed, like Louis. Not that he had come expecting much—he was only there to accompany Maya.Well, no. He did make a "gain." Eslite introduced him to a brilliant scientist. It would have been better, of course, if that scientist weren't his ex-wife. The thought made Louis smirk coldly.He glanced at Maya, walking beside him all evening, and said, "Wait for me in the car. I need to take care of something."Normally, Louis wouldn't speak to Maya in such a tone, but his mind was in turmoil right now. All his thoughts revolved around Alice, leaving him with no energy to care about anything else.Maya didn't need to think hard to know what Louis wanted to handle—he was definitely going to find Alice. She wasn't sure what they'd talk about, but she didn't want Louis near Alice. The whole poin
The Billionaire EX-Husband Wants To Reconcile Again! Chapter 12: Jealousy
Professor Eslite walked straight toward Alice, who had just risen from her chair.Louis's eyes showed a hint of suspicion while Maya furrowed her brows, a sense of unease welling up inside her.She recalled what Professor Eslite had said earlier: that he wanted to introduce Louis to a promising young scientist—someone so talented that Louis might have to compete with numerous parties in the future to bring this scientist onto his team. Just from those words alone, it was clear how highly Professor Eslite regarded this young scientist's abilities!"No, no, no! This can't be happening!" Maya's mind screamed relentlessly.But no matter how loudly her heart raged, Professor Eslite continued walking straight toward Alice."Alice, it's wonderful to meet you finally. You're even busier than I am, haha," Professor Eslite said with a smile as he looked at Alice, his eyes curving in delight. It was evident how pleased he was to see her.Alice smiled in return, shaking his hand. "I couldn't poss
The Billionaire EX-Husband Wants To Reconcile Again! Chapter 11: Professor Eslite
Heaven knows how furious Maya was when Louis ignored her and stared at Alice earlier.She had even wanted to strangle Alice on the spot. However, Professor Eslite had arrived and now was not the time for arguments.Maya had attended this banquet with Louis partly to assert her claim on him and partly to meet Professor Eslite. Over the past year, she had studied extensively abroad and was now working on a scientific research project. She sought professional recognition to facilitate securing investments.The Adel family had fallen into decline, and without Louis, Maya wouldn't have been able to attend this banquet, let alone meet Professor Eslite, a man perpetually occupied.She knew she had to seize this opportunity. So, for now, she set aside her grievances with Alice and pulled Louis toward Professor Eslite. With Louis by her side, she hoped to have a better chance to speak with the esteemed professor.On the other hand, Louis lowered his gaze, his expression void of significant emo
The Billionaire EX-Husband Wants To Reconcile Again! Chapter 10: No Turning Back
"What? Ex-husband?"Alex's mind felt like it was about to explode. He realized he had just uncovered a sensational piece of news. If the researchers who admired Alice discovered she had been married, they might lose their minds. Thankfully, it was just an ex-husband—they still had a chance.Alex glanced at Alice, then at Louis, gave a brief nod of acknowledgment, and hurriedly followed after Alice.Watching the two of them walk away, Louis frowned deeply, his eyes reddening. He couldn't think straight; he only knew he wanted to pull Alice back to him immediately!And so, with that thought, Louis acted. He quickly strode forward, closing the distance in just three steps, and grabbed Alice's hand to stop her.Alice halted, startled by the force of his grip. She frowned slightly and turned to look at Louis. Her green eyes sparkled, dazzling like gemstones. Every expression on Alice's face only seemed to enhance her beauty.Louis swallowed hard, his lips pressed into a firm line as he sta
The Billionaire EX-Husband Wants To Reconcile Again! Chapter 9: Just an Ex-Husband
“This is the contract. Be my wife for a year; I can give you everything—wealth and fame. Consider it my compensation to you.”Waking up from a wild night, those were the first words Louis said to Alice. Louis could vividly remember Alice’s expression at that moment. She lowered her head, and when he started worrying she might refuse, Alice agreed without hesitation.Her gaze lingered on Louis, filled with affection, as though she had fallen in love with him at first sight.And Louis? He couldn’t even recall what he had been thinking at that moment. His mind had been clouded, almost entranced by the love-filled look in Alice’s eyes.It puzzled him. Just the night before, he had been heartbroken over Maya’s departure. So, Louis concluded that the quickening of his heartbeat must have been because Alice resembled Maya so much!But in truth, if Louis had cast aside his inflated ego and looked more closely, he would’ve realized that Alice bore no resemblance to Maya. In fact, after that da
