The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 326: Replaced
The chief officer stepped forward“I can’t assure you about that, Miss Margaux. My team is the one assigned for Mr Mondragon’s case..” he stated. Margaux tilted her head. “Then I will ask for a formal turn over,” she responded. She watched how the chief’s face dimmed. She knew it would not be easy for it was their field of work she was going to meddle with. But she was skeptical. Those people did not seem trustworthy as Daisy had mentioned about the special treatment they gave to Roxanne. “We are not going to stop you. But I am advising you that you should not expect too much,” the officer muttered. Daisy sighed dramatically. “Don't worry, we will make sure that the assigned team for Hendrix’s case will be fair and just,” she said. Margaux did not bother looking at the officers’ reaction and quickly shifted her gaze to Hendrix. Her husband seemed very serious but when their eyes met again, his face suddenly lit up. “Do you want to rest now?” She queried. He was still recoverin
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 327: Control
“Are we disturbing you?’ Daisy raised an eyebrow at her. Margaux cleared her throat as she averted her gaze. She wanted to hit Hendrix for taking her in that position but she couldn’t turn her gaze back nor even glance at his direction again. “Take a rest now. I have something to discuss with my family outside,” she said dismissively then stood up. She forgot that her foot was still injured. Hence, she almost stumbled as soon as she stood up. Fortunately, Hendrix was quick and was able to hold her arm before she fell and stumbled on the ground. “Careful!” He said. “Oh my! Are you okay, babe?” Daisy and Dinah immediately went to her and helped her sit back on the edge of the bed. She shut her eyes and heaved a deep breath. “I’m fine,” she answered, although she felt like her sprained foot had completely broken at the moment. “You don’t look okay. Don’t lie to us,” Hendrix said sternly.At that time, he was already up and was sitting straight next to her while staring at her with
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 328: Revelation
“Why are you smiling?” Dinah asked. Instantly, she finally noticed that her lips were stretched so wildly which she immediately wiped off. “Nothing,” she muttered nonchalantly and tried to hasten her steps towards her room. She heard chuckles from her cousins but she just ignored them and pretended that she did not hear anything. Fortunately, the room was only a few steps away. Almost hastily, she opened the door and the faces of her parents along with their other relatives. “I’m going to call the doctor first. Her foot needed a check again,” Daisy said as she followed her inside. “Why are you walking? Where’s your wheelchair?” Felissa scowled. “She doesn’t need it anymore, Aunt Felissa,” Daisy chuckled. She glared at her cousin before she carefully walked to where her mother was and sat beside her. “I’m fine, Mom. I can walk,” she said.“But you can’t walk without our help,” Dinah countered. “You almost fall earlier, if not for Hendrix, your injury might get worsen”She click
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 329: Hired
She almost fainted with the revelation.It was crazy and so unbelievable. Because how could Roxanne do that when she seemed so obsessed with Hendrix? Can she really hurt the person she loved?“Is that real?” Daisy gasped. Her mother squeezed her hand once again, getting her attention. She weakly looked at her mother and saw her worried expression while nodding. “We caught the driver and he confessed the truth. The order was to hit Hendrix, but as we all know, he miserably failed because you suddenly pushed him out of the way, thus, you were the one who got hit,” her mother elaborated. Her breath hitches as she was trying to take it all in. “What did Roxanne do then?” Dinah asked in a curious tone. “We did not pay attention to that anymore. Our concern back then was only Margaux so after knowing that she was purely an accident, we immediately halted the investigation and just made sure that the driver would rot in jail”“That woman is indeed crazy,” Daisy muttered in disbelief. “
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 330: Friend
“What did you say?” She asked in utter disbelief. “You are. . . hired by Roxanne?” She repeated. Hendrix’s friend, Gino nodded with a smile, “Yes. You heard it right. I came all the way here not only because I want to check on my friend, but also for work. Roxanne called me and asked me if I can be her private investigator”“So, why are you here then? Are you going to investigate us?” Dinah asked coldly. “Can I come in and sit first?” Gino demanded. Her lips pursed as she watched the guy stepped forward without waiting for their answer and sat on the chair adjacent to her before he let out a sigh of relief or exhaustion, she had no idea. “I just came from the Palace. I did not know that Roxanne knew the King, it’s amazing,” he said with obvious admiration. “She’s in the Palace?” Daisy scowled. Gino glanced at her cousin and smirked, “Yes. She even waited for me to see Hendrix next door first before we drove there..” he answered innocently. Margaux’s eyes squinted as she stared
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 331: Paper
“Stop making up stories,” Margaux shook her head. “You don’t need to put his name on the good side because I have already forgiven him and we are already on good terms,” she said in a dismissive tone. However, the guy shook his head profusely as though disagreeing with her statement. “I’m not making up stories. It’s all facts. You can ask your husband for confirmation,” he said confidently. She immediately averted her gaze. She was not sure whether to believe him or not but it made her heart beating so fast and her eyes almost teared up. If it was true, then it was her fault for not believing him and calling him a liar in the first place. If it was true, she had no right to be mad that he kept about Roxanne being the mastermind of the incident almost four years ago a secret because she was the one who told him that she would not believe anything that he would say. Pursing her lips, she returned her gaze back to Gino and saw him smirking at her. “I won’t lie about the matters
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 332: Truth
Margaux’s body got frozen upon hearing her name. Her mind went blank in an instant and her heart almost jumped out of its ribcage. “No way!” Dinah exclaimed. “Impossible!” Calli hissed. Meanwhile, Sue stood up and quickly snatched the crumpled paper from Daisy’s hands. He then read what was written on it while the whole room suddenly went eerily silent. “Fvck!” Sue cursed so loud before he turned to Gino who had been silent for a while. “Why are you just telling us about this?!” He screamed angrily. Margaux’s whole body trembled at the thought that her life had been in danger for a long time and she was so clueless about it. What's the worst? The person who wanted to harm her was in a close distance. “Why did the driver not tell us about that part?” She heard her mother queried. Gino, on the other hand, straightened on his seat and let out a heavy sigh. His expression became serious as well and his aura suddenly changed as he looked more professional and respectable. “The guy

Margaux immediately went back to Hendrix’s room after she excused herself. Gino stayed there and was not yet done talking with her family but she was no longer interested with it anymore. Everything she heard was crazy and it overwhelmed her. “Margaux..” Wilma was shocked when she entered the room without knocking first. Well, she did not expect that they were already back as it was not that long when they left Hendrix there. “We just–” She raised her right hand to stop the old woman from continuing whatever she was going to say. “I’m not asking you,” she muttered then slowly walked with a crutches towards the bed. Her eyes softened upon seeing that Hendrix was sleeping peacefully. Although there was still a little fear deep within her seeing him unconscious, her heart was quite calmer knowing that he kept his promise to rest. “You should sit here,” WIlma said and she saw her husband was dragging the chair next to Hendrix's bed. Her eyebrows raised but she did not say anything

The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress EPILOGUE
Hendrix's thick furrowed eyebrows became permanent as he buried his face on paper works. His workaholic self just couldn't help finishing them all before he went home. “Sir, it's past nine already,” Tom, his secretary, stated. “You can go home now,” he responded without lifting his head. Tom looked hesitant as he stared at his boss who was busy signing the documents. He could leave just as he told him to, but he knew his future would be at risk if he did not drag his boss out of his office. Standing there, he took a deep breath and was prepared to say the magic word when all of a sudden, a loud ring erupted in the whole office. Hendrix stopped whatever he was doing and scowled at his mobile phone resting on the corner of his desk. His face was dark as though he was displeased that he's got interrupted with his work. “Let me see, you're still in the office, am I right?” the caller said without any greetings. Hendrix didn't need to ask who was on the other line. His annoyin

The manor was very busy as everyone seemed to be panicking as the time was running. But Margaux seemed oblivious as she was busy staring at herself in a huge mirror. Her heart was thumping hard. ‘This is it,” she told herself internally. The white beautiful wedding dress that was full of tiny diamonds was sparkling, almost blinding her eyes. Her hair was tied up in a very neat bun with some hair strands curled beautifully decorating her small face. While her makeup was just light, almost bare showing her natural beauty that made everyone in the room bewitched as they all looked at her. “Miss Margaux, it’s time to walk down the aisle,” the organizer announced. Margaux glanced over herself one more time before leaving the room. The organizer gave her the beautifully arranged white bouquet with a huge grin.“Mr Mondragon is so lucky,” she muttered with pure admiration. She did not respond and just gave her a small smile. Her stomach was churning as her chest was about to explode. S
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 379: Forgiven
Margaux crossed her arms as she leaned on the back rest of the sofa, staring at the woman in front of her. She woke up alone and everyone in the manor was nowhere to be found aside for Liana who was sitting comfortably on the sofa in the living room while having a cup of tea as she descended the stairs. “Babe,” Liana flashed a small smile. Her eyebrows raised as she had no idea what her cousin was doing in their manor. As far as she could remember, she was left in the Philippines so she thought she would stay there and will never have the guts to show her face again out of remorse. ‘I forgot that she’s shameless,’ she thought and rolled her eyes. “I know you never wish to see me again,” Liana muttered. “You know but you still show up here,” she replied sarcastically. The princess let out a sigh then shook her head. Seeing that, Margaux thought she was going to retort a sarcastic remark and grin mockingly at her like she always does before. However, she’d seen none of it, rather

“I want to give her a grand wedding in front of all of you, her family and friends,” Hendrix added. He was looking straight to Don Geronimo as he said those words with a very serious face. However, the corner of his lips lifted upon seeing Margaux’s reaction in his peripheral vision. “You’re already married,” Don Geronimo stated. Hendrix's lips pursed as he brought his attention back to the old man. “But it didn't feel right. I married her as Margaux Hermani and I want to correct that“ “Hendrix..” Margaux muttered. He finally looked at her direction and saw her flustered face and teary eyes. She probably didn't expect that and had a doubt about his plan. Stepping forward, he cupped her face and stared into her blue eyes. “I want to make this right,” he muttered. Then he put down his hands and shoved one onto the pocket of his jeans whilst slowly kneeling down in front of her. A loud gasp came from Margaux as he pulled out the velvet box and revealed a huge diamond ring.

“You're blooming,” Daisy smirked as soon as they entered the dining room. Margaux’s face turned hot in an instant. She then threw her cousin a sharp glare on which the latter just laughed it off. “Why are you looking at me like that? I’m just stating a fact,” Daisy said and gave her a malicious grin. She rolled her eyes and did not say anything. Instead, she took her seat and looked around the table to see that they were complete except her parents, who were probably still in the hospital. “You should take the seat next to your wife,” she heard her uncle say. Her eyebrows raised as the only vacant seat next to her was his father's chair. “I don't think that's right,” Hendrix muttered as he stood still behind her chair. “Just take that seat and eat. It's just a chair,” her uncle Daniel insisted. Knowing that her husband won't do it for his respect for her father, she let out a sigh before glancing over her shoulder. “You can take that chair. No one will mind,”

“Are you tired?” Hendrix queried as they cuddled under the blanket. ‘I am exhausted!’ Margaux’s mind screamed internally. Her face was burning and kept her eyes closed recalling what they had just done. It was not the first time anymore but it still felt new to her. Moreso, the experience was entirely different from the first one as she thought Hendrix didn't strain himself anymore which made her whole body sore. She felt his soft lips touch her forehead and a soft whisper of ‘I love you’ tingles her left ear. He then tightened his hold on her and pressed her body to his even more as if he was afraid to have even a tiniest gap between them. “Love..” he murmured. Curiously, Margaux slowly opened her eyes and met his gaze. But before she could say something, Hendrix quickly leaned in closer and claimed her lips. Gasping, she opened her eyes and reluctantly pushed him away. “I can't do it anymore,” she mumbled. She averted her gaze as her face became hotter. She had no qualms
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 375: False Alarm
“Call all the doctors, quick!” she exclaimed as she kneeled down next to Hendrix. Her heart just stopped beating upon seeing his unconscious body. She didn't know where to touch him as she was afraid she might hurt him even more. “Love! Open your eyes, please! Don't sleep!” she cried. She could feel her cousin was trying to calm her but her emotions exploded that she could not hear anything anymore. “Babe, calm down!” Daisy shook her. “Love, please!” she pleaded. Her hands were shaking as she placed her palms on his chest. Although she could feel his heartbeat, still she cannot calm down seeing him unconscious with blood almost covering his shirt. “Let me check his wounds,” Felissa muttered. Reluctantly, she moved away and let her mother check where the gunshot was. She was holding her breath as she was trying to prepare for whatever she was going to see. However, as soon as her mother lifted Hendrix's shirt, loud gasps reverberated in the room and followed by loud laughter.
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 374: Trust
“Aren’t you afraid that he might let that woman free?” Felissa inquired. Margaux heaved a sigh. Then, a small smile flashed her face as she looked at her mother. “I trust that he won’t do it, Mom..” she replied. Her mother stared at her for a long second before she responded. “What if he betrayed you?” she asked critically. She did not know if her mother was just testing her. But her question did not really come across her mind. After learning what happened from the nurse that was supposed to kill her, she knew right then that Hendrix did not really mean to shoot her. He was aiming for Doctor Pablo, not her. That’s why as soon as he tried to approach her, she did not hesitate to send him with that woman. She was that confident that he would come back to her, not thinking about other possibilities that he had other motives. Looking away, she curled her fingers as she was starting to doubt her decision. But then she shook her head immediately and lifted her chin as she returned her

Margaux quickly shifted her head towards the door as soon as she heard it shut. Her shoulders slumped while she heaved a deep sigh. “Why did you make him leave and feel disappointed now?” Her father queried. She pursed her lips. Seriously, she didn’t know why she did that. Probably because she was not ready to face him yet. She took a deep breath once again and looked at her father. “Did you already know about Doctor Pablo?” She asked instead. Don Geronimo raised his eyebrows. His eyes lit up, prolly seeing her intention of changing the topic. “I had suspicion, but never thought he could actually do that to us,” he shook his head. Margaux’s eyes narrowed as she stared at her father. His actions and facial expression were so contradictory that she could not help but be skeptical. “Really?” She tilted her head and crossed her arms. She did trust her father, but at that moment, she could not help but doubt his words. Meanwhile, Don Geronimo suddenly laughed boisterously. “You’r
