Return of the Heiress: I married my ex-husband's brother She cares
“She came?” Knox muttered in disbelief.Mason pushed up his glasses, hiding the flicker of surprise in his eyes. “Well, it seems she does care, after all.”Knox’s mouth twitched before he shot Mason a meaningful look.He tapped his earpiece and instructed, “Let her in.”Moments later, the grand iron gates of the manor creaked open, and a black Bentley drove inside.Elena walked up the pathway leading to the entrance.As soon as she entered, she spotted Knox and Mason coming out to greet her.Knox parted his lips to speak, but before he could say anything, Mason grabbed his arm and pulled him back.“He’s on the first floor. Third door down the hall.”Then, without wasting another second, he dragged Knox and disappeared into the night.Nodding, Elena turned on her heel and climbed the stairs.The moment Elena stepped onto the first floor, her gaze was instantly drawn to the enormous winery before her.She was in awe of the grandeur.The towering shelves were each stocked with the finest

Seated gracefully on the velvet sofa, Helen Evans, Lucas’s maternal grandmother, placed her porcelain teacup down with a soft clink.She was dressed in an exquisite silk ensemble, and her silver hair was styled in a neat updo.Despite her age, her piercing hazel eyes still held the same sharpness as before.A soft chuckle rippled throughout the room.Her words immediately embarrassed Lucas.Seated beside Helen was Jane Evans, Louis’s mother.With a gentle voice, she asked. “Lucas, would you like something to drink?”Before Lucas could respond, Louis said, “Mom, just prepare a hangover tea for him.”Everyone in the Evans family knew about the court trial.Whatever happened must’ve undoubtedly affected Lucas a lot, which was why they asked Louis to drag him home.Growing up, Lucas had always liked to be on his own.However, they wanted him to accept that he wasn’t alone.His family was still here.At that moment, Harold Evans, Lucas’s maternal grandfather, entered the living room from t

Elena’s eyes widened when a dark figure shot out from behind, shielding her from the attack.“Lucas!”The dagger, which was aimed at Elena’s chest, sank deeply into Lucas’s shoulder.The sound of the steel slicing through flesh echoed in the night air.But Lucas barely flinched.His grip on Elena remained firm, protective.Chloe’s eyes widened in disbelief.“You—” She raised her arm to attack again, but Lucas’s hand shot up like lightning, clamping around her wrist.His gaze was chilling.Cold. Murderous.“It seems you don’t remember your lesson,” he said, his voice dangerously low.Chloe trembled and her eyes flickered with alarm.Lucas twisted her wrist mercilessly, forcing her to drop the dagger.Then, without warning, a powerful kick landed in Chloe’s midsection.The force was so brutal that Chloe was sent sprawling backward.Her body twisted through the air before crashing onto the pavement with a harsh thud.Elena snapped out of her shock and held onto Lucas’ arm. “You’re hurt!”

Lucas inhaled sharply as his phone buzzed for what felt like the hundredth time that week.Elena: “Did you eat?”“How’s your injury?”“Are you resting properly?”He stared at the message, debating whether to block her.Initially, he was enjoying the attention she gave him.But now, it was getting out of hand.If she wasn’t texting, she was calling.If she wasn’t calling, she would send voice messages.She was relentless.With an irritated sigh, he tossed his phone onto the coffee table and leaned back against his couch.He had already blocked her, but he still felt uncomfortable.Ding Dong!The doorbell rang.Grumbling under his breath, he walked to the door.The moment he swung it open, his irritation morphed into disbelief.“Why are you here?” His voice was laced with impatience.Elena crossed her arms and gave him a pointed look. “Hello, to you too. Since you refuse to give proper updates, I had no choice but to come here myself.”Lucas pinched the space between his brows. “I alrea

Helen Evans was a big fan of pastries, especially the ones from La Petite Délice.Their delicate mille-feuille, buttery croissants, and signature fruit tarts were her absolute favorites.Whenever she had time, she would stop by to enjoy a quiet afternoon with a cup of tea and her beloved pastries.And today was no different.It was at La Petite Délice where she would meet Elena today.Elena stepped into the bakery.The warm scent of butter and vanilla lingered in the air, mingling with the faint aroma of freshly brewed coffee.Though the place was luxurious, it wasn’t ostentatious.Every detail, from the gold lighting to the delicate porcelain teacups, spoke of understated elegance.An assistant led her through the café until they reached the backyard.The sight that greeted Elena was nothing short of breathtaking.A serene lake stretched beyond the terrace, its surface shimmering under the afternoon light.A gentle breeze rustled the trees, carrying the scent of blooming jasmine.Hel

"Mrs. Elliot, Sir is currently in a meeting and cannot take calls," said the secretary in a chilly voice.Before Elena could respond, the person on the other end hung up.Elena stared at her phone's blank screen and felt a sharp, throbbing pain run through her body.Important meeting - two words that shattered the thin veil of hope she had left.The cold evening air bit at her cheeks and tears welled in her eyes.When Andrew informed her earlier that he was running late for the dinner, Elena did not take it to heart.Andrew's work always took precedence.During their five years of relationship, she had always been accommodating and never been an unreasonable person.But tonight was their anniversary, and she hoped that for once, he would put their love before his demanding career.But alas...Elena stubbornly waited for him even though she knew he wouldn't show up.Because part of her still hoped he would not abandon her.The minutes seemed to last forever.Three hours had passed with

The room spun, and Elena stumbled backward, landing unceremoniously on the couch.Amidst the charged atmosphere behind the door, Elena struggled to stand up. Her legs felt unsteady as she moved towards the bedroom exit.No. No, no.Andrew would never do this to her. He would never.He loved her so much.He would never…She still believed that the person inside was not him.That’s right, he must be someone who had a similar voice.Besides, Chloe never liked Andrew to begin with, so why would she…Yes, she must be overthinking because of her disappointment earlier.Elena’s hand quivered as she reached for the doorknob.However, just as she was about to turn the handle, she stopped.She did not dare enter the room and confront the two people inside.The thought of confronting her husband's adultery and her best friend's betrayal was excruciating, and it was too much for her to bear.In fact, Elena had never felt so terrified before.Even when she had broken ties with her family, even whe

Chloe wanted to force Elena into a corner.However, if the latter was disobedient, then she didn’t mind using a crooked approach.Hearing Chloe’s words, Andrew’s eyes lit up.Initially, he had been racking his brains, thinking about how to clean up the mess, but Chloe’s suggestion enlightened him.That’s right. As long as Elena turned a blind eye to his affairs, everything would be fine!Sure enough, hooking up with Chloe was the best decision. She always prioritized him first and never caused him any inconvenience.“Serve him together? Are you trying to disgust me to death?” Elena was so repulsed by her words she wanted to throw up. “I never knew you could stoop so low. What makes you think that after everything, I’d still want this trash?”Elena’s words stung Andrew, and he immediately leaped to his defense. “Who do you think you’re calling trash?”“Still asking?” Elena glared at him fiercely.“Andrew, please, calm down,” Chloe urged, her voice laced with concern. “Elena is angry ri

The entire courtroom erupted into chaos.The judge banged his gavel and silenced the room.After the chaos subsided, the judge delivered the final verdict.“The court, after reviewing all evidence and witness testimonies, finds the accused—Thomas Elliot, Richard Elliot, Samantha Elliot, and Andrew Elliot- guilty of multiple charges.”“For their crimes, Richard Elliot, given his direct involvement in multiple heinous offenses, is sentenced to a lifetime in prison without parole. Having played an active role in coercion and abuse, Samantha is sentenced to thirty-five years. Finally, Andrew Elliot, who is convicted of multiple violent offenses, is sentenced to fifty years with no chance of early release. However, since Andrew Elliot is now disabled, he is to be moved into the special cell.”After the verdict was announced, Samantha collapsed to the ground, wailing uncontrollably.Richard was motionless as the cops handcuffed him and took him away.The judge banged the gavel one last time

For the first time, fear appeared in Richard’s eyes.The Elliots had relied heavily on their connection to the Evans, and if that bridge burned, they would be reduced to ashes.That night, Richard didn’t touch Isabella.But Lucas knew this peace wouldn’t last.Isabella’s suffering came to a halt, but by then, the damage had already been done.For years, she had lived under the illusion that Richard loved her.That beneath his cruelty, there was still a heart that once beat for her.She had clung to that deception with desperate hands, even as he shattered it repeatedly.When he cheated, she swallowed her pride and stayed.When he humiliated her, she wiped her tears and smiled.When he raised his hand at her, she convinced herself it was just a moment of anger, that he would change.But he never did.And Isabella didn’t know if she could leave.Her heart was wrapped in fear.Fear of an uncertain future, of being alone, of losing the man she had loved for so long.She kept telling herse

The atmosphere shifted in an instant.The crowd’s murmurs were replaced by the sound of a chair scraping against the floor.All eyes were now on the person whose presence was quiet but powerful.And who else could it be other than Lucas Evans?The Elliot family’s blood ran cold.Whether it was Thomas, Richard, or Samantha, everyone sat frozen in place, their eyes widening in sheer horror as they watched Lucas rise from his seat.No one expected him to be the final blow.The judge nodded toward Lucas. “Please state your name.”Lucas took his seat in the confession box, his sharp gaze sweeping over the Elliots before returning to the judge.“Lucas Evans.”The moment his voice echoed through the courtroom, whispers erupted.“The Lucas Evans? The one who severed ties with the Elliots?”“He was Isabella’s only son, wasn’t he?”The judge banged his gavel before turning back to Lucas. “You have been called as a prime witness.

“For now, I only want to focus on building my career.”Only when she was strong enough could she stand confidently in front of the world.Hearing her words, Dylan nodded in approval. “That’s my girl.”Yvette reached for Elena’s hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. “As long as you know what you want, we’ll always support you.”Elena smiled, feeling the warmth spread through her chest.However, the moment she turned away from them, a wave of inexplicable sadness washed over her.She didn’t understand why.Her words had been true.She genuinely wanted to focus on herself and her career.Then why did it feel like she was trying to convince herself rather than just her parents?———Lucas’ ultimate attack on the Elliots began.After years of committing crimes and misdeeds, the pots of their sins were full.And there was no escape this time.The court summoned the entire Elliot family.Just as they processed this catastrophe, another devastating blow struck them.Late at night, the sound of scr
