Chapter 37: A Familiar Silhouette
Last Updated:
2025-01-19 21:10:12Alice had just entered the hotel banquet hall when she spotted Louis. Although she didn't want to admit it, she always seemed to notice him in a crowd. Seeing the annoyed frown on his face, Alice quickly looked away, ignoring him entirely.
Louis knew that now wasn't the time to talk to Alice. Before long, he was surrounded by influential figures, including July. Meanwhile, Alice was encircled by renowned scientists and representatives from major organizations. They were eager to learn what groundbreaking invention Alice might unveil after her successful hemostatic medication.
Alice had become highly sought after among scientists and investors. Numerous opportunities had already been presented to her. If she agreed, she could leave her lecturing job and become the head of a research team at a prestigious company with an astonishing salary.

Alice felt her mind buzzing loudly as if a roaring storm had blocked out all external sounds. She stared blankly at July, shaking her head and muttering, “No, it’s nothing…”But with her pale face and panicked eyes, no one believed it was nothing. Even Louis couldn’t help but glance at Alice with a look of doubt and curiosity.At that moment, Alice released Louis’s hand and stepped back, her voice soft as she said, “It’s nothing. I just mistook someone else for him.”Louis looked puzzled, hearing her words, but July’s brows furrowed deeply. Her expression darkened as she grabbed Alice’s hand firmly, using a strength Alice couldn’t resist, and pulled her away. “You must be exhausted tonight. Let’s go,” July said firmly.Without waiting for a response, she dragged Alice upstairs. The Henry family corporation had booked the entire hotel for the night, and seeing Alice’s dazed and distracted state, July had no choice but to escort her back to her room for now.“Alice, when will you finall

"Bang!" At that moment, a thunderous sound echoed as the bathroom door was forcefully kicked open by Louis. Maya, leaning against it, was thrown out with it.She screamed in pain, her face contorted with agony.Louis's face was flushed red, his breathing ragged as he glared coldly at Maya with bloodshot eyes. The hardships of her recent days had left her face haggard and pale, a far cry from her former beauty. Furthermore, her expression now was full of greed, resembling a venomous snake. There was no trace of the gentle and pretty demeanor she once flaunted.It was clear that her true nature had been completely unmasked.Seeing Louis step out, Maya endured her pain and lunged toward him, desperate to cling to him. She believed that as long as their bodies made contact, Louis would no longer be able to resist.But Louis had no hesitation whatsoever. He kicked her away mercilessly and spat coldly, "Disgusting!"He immediately called his assistant. Upon hearing Louis's raspy voice and u

Louis blinked his bleary eyes, and only then did he see everything clearly… Alice—Alice was standing in front of him, not wearing a single piece of clothing!Louis widened his eyes, his face filled with disbelief, but his gaze stubbornly refused to move away even an inch.Seeing Louis looking like a dumb puppy, Alice felt even angrier, as if she'd just punched Cotton—utterly unable to vent her frustration! Especially when she saw Louis's reaction!Alice lifted her foot and stepped directly on the "little Louis" that was slowly making an appearance. Her voice was icy as she said, "Are you some stud horse? Besides, after everything we've been through, what's left that you haven't seen? Acting innocent now, are we?"Louis didn't respond. Instead, he suddenly turned his head to the side, biting his lip, his ears turning red.Alice couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly. Louis's reaction genuinely amused her. However, she had no intention of teasing him further. She turned and walked

The assistant glanced into the room and saw Louis wearing only a bath towel. Noticing the assistant's gaze, Louis turned to look at him. Just as the assistant thought Louis might lose his temper, Louis turned back, smiled, and said, "I've received the documents you sent. Let's head back to the company."The assistant should have been relieved to keep his high-paying job, but what shocked him even more was the chairman smiling! And not just smiling—he seemed genuinely happy! The assistant felt as if he had stepped into a parallel universe.On the other hand, Louis paid no attention to the assistant's utterly shocked expression. He was immersed in the happiness of his upcoming date with Alice. At this moment, he felt he could handle ten projects simultaneously!The assistant followed Louis into the car and quickly reported, "Chairman, I've investigated last night's incident. It was Maya who orchestrated everything. She used the last of the Adel family's connections to drug you. She's cu

Just as Alice regretted her previous decision, her phone suddenly rang, and it was Louis calling.Usually, Alice would definitely not pick up, especially since Louis was very concerned with his image and would never call her first. But thinking about the condition she had agreed to, Alice could only answer the phone. Louis's deep yet somewhat cheerful voice immediately came through: "Alice, are you free this afternoon? Let's go out for dinner."Before Alice could respond, Louis continued, "I really miss you."The vein on Alice's forehead twitched. "We only separated this morning, and you already miss me?"Although Louis knew Alice couldn't see him, he still made a face and shook his head. "You can't understand my heart; it misses you every minute and every second. You should know just how much I love you when I say that."The corner of Alice's eye twitched. She had no idea when Louis had started using these cheesy lines.She didn't know that the assistant was standing next to Louis, h

Alex was still lost in thought, wondering when Alice became so close to Louis. Meanwhile, Louis had chased after Alice all the way to her car, with a flattering expression on his face as he opened the car door for her.Alice glanced at the garish, expensive car in front of her, starkly contrasting Louis' usual work attire. She couldn't help but ask, "Since when did you start acting like your friends?"Louis' friends might not be skilled at work but were undoubtedly experts in enjoying life. They might never use such cars, but their garage was always filled with the newest models!Alice knew Louis didn't have such a hobby. His interests wereways to related to his work. Sometimes, she even felt that she might see Louis marry his job one day. Despite thinking this, Alice had never reflected on how many hours she spent in the lab herself.Louis sat in the driver's seat and said thoughtfully, "Going out is different from going to work, especially since I'm taking you on a date."Alice look

Alice looked toward the romantic proposal scene with an unreadable expression in her eyes while Louis gazed at her, his mind in turmoil. However, Alice didn’t notice this. She looked at Louis and said, “Alright, I need to head back to school. The meal today was really delicious, thank you.”Louis pouted slightly. “That’s not what a girlfriend would say to her boyfriend.”Alice nodded. “Alright then, let’s just pretend I’m your boyfriend.”Louis immediately responded with strong resistance. “A boyfriend wouldn’t say that to his girlfriend!”Alice raised an eyebrow. “Then what would a boyfriend say to his girlfriend?”Alice only meant to tease Louis a bit. After all, his angry expression, yet unable to do anything about it, genuinely made her happy.But before long, Alice couldn’t laugh anymore. Because just as she finished speaking, Louis suddenly stepped up close to her, then grabbed her chin, lowered his head, and lightly kissed her lips. It was just a brief kiss, but it felt like it

Alice rubbed her ear and softly said, “I know you’re upset, but don’t yell like that. It’s not good for your throat.”Ron almost growled, “You’re worried about me? If so, you’d better stay away from Louis, as far away as possible!”Alice: “...”Ron continued, “I haven’t forgotten how he misunderstood our relationship last time. You can tell just by looking at him that there’s nothing good going on in his head. Be careful, don’t let him fool you!”Alice thought to herself, with Louis’ silly dog-like appearance, how could he fool her? She replied, “You can’t blame him. We aren’t the same and are much closer than most people.”Ron said thoughtfully, “Are you defending Louis now? Don’t tell me you like him.”Ron felt this question was unnecessary—if Alice didn’t like Louis, she wouldn’t be dating him.Alice gently said, “I’ll break up with him in a few days, don’t overthink it.” Then, she threw out her final move: “If you have so much time to worry about me, you’d better go find a sister-

Louis immediately became panicked, quickly getting out of bed. His whole body swayed, and his legs were so weak that he nearly fell. He had to hold onto the edge of the bed, his breath rapid, his heart pounding, still recovering from the long faint. Fortunately, his body was strong and recovered quickly, though he still felt a bit dizzy, and his vision was blurry.Not having time to worry about himself, he urgently asked, "How is Alice?"July suddenly fell silent, not saying anything. Her abrupt stop made Louis suspicious. He looked at her with a questioning gaze, his heart racing with a bad feeling.July's eyes flickered slightly, hesitation passing in a moment, but she couldn't hide the deep sorrow within. She looked at Louis as though considering whether or not to tell the truth, her lips pressed together, hesitant and speechless.Louis felt his palms go cold. July's silence was like an invisible hand tightening around his chest. A sense of unease spread through his body, every cel
The Billionaire EX-Husband Wants To Reconcile Again! Chapter 123: Fatigue
Hearing that name, Louis’s body trembled slightly. He looked up, his eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep, filled with extreme exhaustion but also carrying an unspoken pain. His voice came out hoarse:"I can’t leave… I have to stay here, wait for her to wake up…"Ron clenched his fists, turning his face away to hide his emotions. In the stark white hospital room, worry and despair intertwined, enveloping everything.Louis slowly stood up, his eyes fixed on Alice lying in the hospital bed. She was still motionless, her weak breath completely dependent on the oxygen machine beside her. Alice’s body had noticeably weakened, her pale skin lifeless, making her seem as fragile as a delicate princess lost in a long, deep sleep. The painful tightness in Louis’s chest made him clench his hands to keep from letting out a sigh.He closed his eyes, as if trying to calm himself, but Alice’s image remained firmly etched in his mind. He couldn’t forget what Mrs. Campbell had just said. "If you collapse

Her face was covered in dirt, with small wounds bleeding on her forehead and cheek, but in this moment, Alice was still strangely beautiful. A satisfied smile appeared on her lips, even as tears involuntarily spilled, mixing with sweat and dust. Her eyes sparkled in the fiery red glow of the sunset, gentle yet full of sorrow. She loved Louis, and that had never changed.She spread her arms wide, waiting for the deadly embrace from Cliff.Louis and the others watched in despair as the scene unfolded before them. Louis rushed forward, wanting to pull Alice out of danger, but a figure moved faster than him—Vein.It turned out, he hadn’t died.The memory from the laboratory flashed back: Cliff’s final bullet had grazed Vein’s forehead, leaving a deep but non-fatal wound. When Cliff had left, he had sneered one last time, saying, "Get lost!" He thought Vein was no longer of any use, not worth finishing off. But now, Vein appeared, like a demon from hell, to stop everything.His messy hair

Cliff smirked, his eyes gleaming with challenge."So this is how you want to talk like a man? If that's the case, then let Alice go." Louis' voice was low, but the danger in every word was evident.Cliff burst out laughing, the gun in his hand still pressed against Alice's temple. "You think I'm stupid, Louis? I'm not crazy enough to let her go so easily." He gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with madness. "If you want to save her, then come over here."Just as Louis was about to take a step forward, Alice suddenly screamed, her voice hoarse with pain and fear. "Don’t! Louis, don’t move!" She struggled, but her strength had drained, her legs too weak to stand. Still, her eyes remained resolute.Louis froze, his gaze meeting Alice's with profound sorrow. She was protecting him, even though she was in the most perilous situation. The anger inside him burned fiercer than ever, but he remained patient, knowing that one wrong move could make Cliff act instantly.Cliff narrowed his eyes

Alice froze, her breath quick and shallow, feeling the suffocating grip of his embrace. Cliff’s face was close to her ear, a twisted smile still lingering on his lips."Alice, are you scared?" His voice whispered, laced with fake tenderness. "It’s just a joke, my love... I’m only trying to scare you."But immediately, his expression shifted. His eyes gleamed with madness, his muscles tensing, and his low voice suddenly turned fierce, like a thunderclap."But even if I destroy you… I’ll do it right in front of Louis!" He hissed each word, his eyes burning with a hatred so intense that it seemed to bring him a twisted pleasure.With that, Cliff bent down, gripping Alice’s arm tightly and roughly yanking her up from the ground. No gentleness, no pity—he dragged her as though she were nothing more than a discarded object. Alice staggered, her legs aching as if thousands of needles were piercing her skin, but she gritted her teeth, forcing herself to keep up with Cliff’s swift pace to avoi
The Billionaire EX-Husband Wants To Reconcile Again! Chapter 119: Quench Everything
But just then, her foot got caught on a large vine hidden among the rotting leaves. She didn't have time to react, her entire body was yanked downward, losing its balance. A wave of panic swept over her, and in the next moment, she rolled down a rocky slope.Alice screamed in pain as sharp stones and dry branches hit her body. Each impact was a sharp, piercing pain that seemed to cut through her flesh, and she even heard a dry "crack"—perhaps a few bones had broken. When her body finally stopped at the foot of the slope, the pain was almost unbearable, leaving her gasping for breath. Her body trembled, and her vision blurred from tears that welled up from the excruciating agony. Alice sobbed, her breaths caught in her throat. She wanted to scream, to cry out loud, but she couldn't. There was no time to be weak.Biting her lip until it bled, Alice shakily pushed her hands into the ground, trying to lift her battered body. But the pain from her ribs nearly made her collapse again. Don’t
The Billionaire EX-Husband Wants To Reconcile Again! Chapter 118: Hope
The sound of the helicopter echoed in the sky, making her heart race. A spark of hope flickered in her mind, and she almost wanted to laugh despite being in a life-or-death situation. She whispered, as if to reassure herself: "They're coming... they're really coming..."But if she didn’t manage to escape, if she was caught again... Alice didn’t dare to imagine what would happen. What would Cliff do to her? His cold face, eyes full of absolute control, appeared in her mind, making her shiver. She didn’t want to be locked up in that dark room again, trapped like a bird in a cage, losing both her freedom and hope. No! She had to run! She had to escape from here at any cost!Alice had nearly given up everything to get this far. Over the past few days, she had starved herself to create a pitiful appearance, tricking Cliff into lowering his guard. But that had also made her much weaker. Her legs felt heavy, each step felt like walking on sharp blades. Her empty stomach clenched painfully, h
The Billionaire EX-Husband Wants To Reconcile Again! Chapter 117: Black Heart
Cliff didn’t answer, only lunged again. In his eyes, there was only betrayal and fury, as if all the years they had fought side by side meant nothing anymore. But deep in his heart, a fear gnawed at him—the fear of failure. Could it be that he was going to lose again? Was everything he had worked for, everything he had done, going to be taken from him once more? No… he couldn’t let that happen.Vein quickly sidestepped, delivering a kick aimed at Cliff’s ribs. But Cliff was too enraged to feel the pain. He grabbed Vein by the collar and punched him squarely in the face again.The two of them struggled, crashing into the lab table, causing everything to shatter in chaos. Sharp shards of glass cut into their skin, blood dripping in droplets. Their eyes met for a brief moment—Cliff’s eyes were ablaze with fury, ready to burn everything down, while Vein’s eyes were cold, distant, yet tinged with something resembling... pity. No matter how intelligent Vein was, he could not overcome the in
The Billionaire EX-Husband Wants To Reconcile Again! Chapter 116: Escape
Louis sat in the command seat, his eyes fixed intently on the island gradually coming into view. His heart pounded in his chest, each passing second cutting into his patience like a sharpened blade. Alice… She was there, imprisoned, suffering—how? The thought sent a surge of fury through him, but he had to stay calm. This wasn’t just a mission—this was redemption. He wouldn’t lose her again.His hand tightened around the seatbelt, his knuckles turning white. He closed his eyes for a brief moment, and Alice’s smiling face appeared in his mind. Her voice, her bright gaze—everything about her urged him to move faster, to be stronger. When he opened his eyes again, only cold determination remained.The radio crackled in his earpiece. "Target in sight. The island is ahead—signs of guards present." A voice came through from the reconnaissance team.Louis nodded, his gaze resolute. "Everyone, get ready. We don’t get a second chance."The helicopter circled, drawing closer to the island shrou
