Mark’s pov ;

The moment the Food Supervision Bureau sealed off our fast food restaurant, I felt like the ground was falling out from under me. “Why are you closing our store? What gives you the right?” I yelled, my voice shaking as I pushed forward to argue.

This place was our lifeline, our only source of income. With my legs useless, lying here like a dead weight, and Jack still in school, my family depended on this restaurant. Without it, how were we supposed to survive?

The officials didn’t even blink. “Your store does not meet hygiene standards and uses inferior and harmful ingredients. According to the law, we have the right to seal it.”

I refused to believe it, but when I heard the manager gasp in horror and saw him storm into the kitchen, I knew we were done for.

Rats. Gutter oil. Piles of dirty dishes stinking up the place.

The sight was enough to make me want to vomit, but there was no denying it.

“Is this the kind of food you serve to your customers?” one of them spat, his f

  • The Billionaire's Sweet Contract Wife   Chapter 109 The madam

    Brandon’s pov ;When Ava asked about my secretary, I could feel the shift in the atmosphere. She was blunt, straightforward, and didn’t beat around the bush. It was almost disarming."Mr. Carpenter, I heard that you have a female secretary and you have a close relationship with her?"I blinked, surprised by the question, but my expression remained neutral. "I have five secretaries—three men and two women. Which one are you talking about?"She didn’t hesitate, pressing on, “This... is naturally the one with whom you have the best relationship."I frowned slightly, confused. Why did it matter to her? "I only interact with them at work, not personally, so I can't say we have a good or bad relationship."Her eyes studied me, and I couldn't quite read her. But I didn't sense any guilt in my response—she was just digging deeper. Was she really just curious, or was there something else behind the question?Then, unexpectedly, she shifted the topic. “Mr. Carpenter, is Sophie your lost sister?

  • The Billionaire's Sweet Contract Wife   Chapter 110 Getting the DNA

    Sophie's pov :At two o'clock in the afternoon the next day, Ava arrived at my house. I went downstairs to meet her, and as soon as I saw her, she called out, "Sophie!"I was a little surprised when I noticed Christopher, her brother, standing nearby. "Christopher is here too," I said, trying to hide my confusion.Ava explained, "My brother was worried and insisted on bringing me here himself."She seemed just as puzzled as I was. Since when did Christopher care so much about her? It wasn’t like she was going somewhere dangerous—she was just coming to my house for a visit. What could possibly go wrong?Christopher politely excused himself, saying, "You two go ahead upstairs. I have some business to attend to at the company. I won’t keep you any longer."I nodded and took Ava’s hand, leading her into the community. As we walked, Ava looked around and said, "Hey, Sophie, your house is quite big."I laughed softly. "Ava, please don’t tease me. This is just an ordinary three-bedroom apart

  • The Billionaire's Sweet Contract Wife   Chapter 111 She's my real daughter

    Rey’s pov :I waited and waited for several days, growing more impatient by the hour. Finally, I sent someone to the University of Finance and Economics to investigate, only to discover that Sophie hadn’t dropped out of school at all!"What a stupid family," I muttered under my breath, my frustration boiling over. "They can’t even handle such a simple task."When the news reached me, I was so furious I nearly lost control. I had risked so much by going to Sophie’s family in person, carefully instructing them on what to do. How could they fail so miserably? All they had to do was trick Sophie into coming home, put her in a car, and send her back to her hometown. That would have been the end of it! But no, Sophie was still comfortably staying at school, completely unaffected.I dismissed all the servants, needing a moment alone to collect my thoughts. As I paced the room, I reminded myself, "Luckily, I had another trick ready."Even though Sophie hadn’t been driven back to her hometown,

    Rey’s pov ;I hurried through the hospital corridors, my heels clicking against the polished floors. As I approached Mrs. Carpenter’s room, I overheard snippets of conversation that made my blood run cold."You found Bella. I wanted to see her," She voice floated into the hallway.My heart skipped a beat. *Found her? Already?* I quickened my pace, forcing a smile onto my face as I pushed open the door to the ward."Mom, your health is the most important thing. How can you just leave the hospital?" I said, my tone gentle but firm.Mrs. Carpenter turned to me, her face lighting up. "Rey, you’re here."I held up the bouquet of lilies I’d brought. "I thought these might brighten up the room. Let me put them on the windowsill. The fresh scent will make you feel better." I moved to arrange the flowers, my hands steady despite the storm raging inside me.She smiled, her eyes soft with gratitude. "You’re always so thoughtful, Rey."The compliment should have warmed me, but instead, it felt li

    Ava’s pov :“It's alright. I already know about the results and don't want to talk about it. I'm busy, Miss Ava. I'll talk to you later.”“Don't want to talk about it? What the hell is wrong with you? Now that you know that Sophie is actually your sister, you don't want to talk about it?!” I hung up brutally.I was fuming. The moment I hung up the phone, I felt like I could tear something apart. How could Brandon be so heartless? After all these years of searching for Bella, now that they’d finally found her, he was just going to turn his back on her? It made no sense. Sophie was his sister—his real sister—and yet he didn’t seem to care at all.I stared at the appraisal report in my hands, my fingers tightening around the edges. Part of me wanted to rip it to shreds, but I stopped myself. Sophie deserved to know the truth, even if her family didn’t want to acknowledge her. She had been through so much already, and she had every right to know who she really was.I sighed, setting the r

    Sophie’s pov :I was still half-asleep when Dominic woke me up early in the morning. "Put on your coat," he said, his voice calm but firm. "We’re going out later."I rubbed my eyes, trying to shake off the drowsiness. "Sir, where are we going?" I asked, my voice still heavy with sleep."To see grandma. She’s been missing you," he replied, his tone softening just a little.At the mention of visiting my elders, I immediately perked up. "Oh, okay," I said, quickly getting out of bed and preparing myself.Before we left, Dominic handed me a small pillow. "Put this inside your clothes," he instructed.I blinked at him, confused. "Sir, why do I need this?"His face tightened slightly, and he looked away, clearly uncomfortable. "Just do it. Don’t worry about it. Grandma will understand."Still puzzled, I did as he said, stuffing the small pillow under my clothes. It made my stomach look slightly bulged, but I didn’t question it further. Dominic was always so careful about these things. Maybe

    Dominic's pov ;I made the decision, and the matter was finally settled.It doesn’t matter what Edwin thinks. What matters is that he doesn’t dare to go against me.Who would’ve thought he’d come to a simple family dinner and have his entire winter vacation arranged for him? The look on his face was almost amusing.“Why are you standing there like an idiot? Do you want to continue interning at the company next summer?”Edwin shook his head vigorously. “No, no, I won’t even be in the country next summer, so I definitely won’t go to the company to cause you trouble.”Sensible.He found a seat and sat down, though I noticed his usual choice—next to our grandmother—was occupied by Sophie.Ever since learning that she was my wife, he’d kept his distance, as if proximity to her would somehow bring him misfortune.Good.Whenever he sees Sophie now, he thinks of me. And he knows better than to provoke me.Throughout the entire dinner, Edwin looked tense, barely touching his food. I, on the ot

    Rey’s pov :I pushed Mom’s wheelchair slowly through the hospital garden, letting her bask in the sun. The winter air was crisp, but the sunlight provided a bit of warmth."Mom, my brother is here," I said, spotting Brandon running toward us.Mom pulled out a handkerchief, frowning at him. "Wipe your sweat. What’s the matter that makes you so anxious? You’re sweating all over in the middle of winter."I folded my arms, watching him closely. Brandon wasn’t the type to act rashly without reason, so whatever had him in such a rush had to be serious."Mom, I have something to tell you," he said, his chest rising and falling with deep breaths."Go ahead."He hesitated, looking almost nervous. "You’ll hear it later, but don’t be too surprised. Take it easy."I stiffened. What was he going to say?Mom frowned. "What’s going on? You’re so secretive."Brandon took another deep breath. "Mom, we found my sister."The flowers in Mom’s hand slipped from her fingers, landing on the ground.I froze.

  • The Billionaire's Sweet Contract Wife   Chapter 148 Epilogue - A sweet forever

    Sophie’s pov :ONE YEAR LATER ;The air was filled with laughter, music, and the sweet scent of flowers as Brandon and Ava’s wedding reception unfolded in full swing.The grand ballroom was beautifully decorated with cascading floral arrangements, twinkling lights, and elegant table settings. Everyone was dressed to the nines, and the atmosphere was nothing short of magical. I stood near the edge of the room, holding a glass of sparkling water, my heart swelling with happiness for my brother and his new bride.Dominic stood beside me, his hand resting gently on the small of my back. He looked as handsome as ever in his tailored black tuxedo, his presence commanding yet comforting. I couldn’t help but steal glances at him, still in awe of how lucky I was to have him by my side.As the evening progressed, Brandon and Ava took to the stage to thank everyone for coming. Brandon’s voice was warm and filled with gratitude, while Ava’s eyes sparkled with joy. They were the picture of happine

    Brandon’s pov :As we stepped outside the hospital, my eyes immediately caught sight of an expensive car parked nearby. It was sleek, modern, and screamed luxury. Sophie’s face lit up the moment she saw it.“That’s my husband’s car!” she said, her voice filled with excitement.I raised an eyebrow, curiosity piqued. “Won’t you introduce me to him?” I asked, trying to sound casual.Sophie blushed but nodded, her cheeks turning a soft shade of pink. Before I could say anything else, the car door opened, and a man stepped out.Sophie didn’t hesitate. She ran to him, her steps light and joyful, and threw her arms around him in a tight hug. “Sir!” she exclaimed, her voice filled with affection.I froze. Sir? My eyes widened as I took in the man standing before me. Tall, impeccably dressed, with an aura of power and authority that was impossible to ignore. And then it hit me—this wasn’t just any man. This was Dominic Williams.My throat tightened, and I choked on my own breath. This was the

    Brandon's pov :I stood in the study, my arms crossed, as Rey walked in nervously. She looked around, her eyes darting between me and my father, Jason. The tension in the room was palpable, and I could tell she knew something was wrong."Brother, what do you want from me?" Rey asked, her voice trembling slightly.I didn’t waste any time. "Rey, why is there an error in Bella’s DNA test result?"Her eyes widened, and she stammered, "This... I don’t know either. Maybe the organization made a mistake."I couldn’t help but sneer. "Mistaken? Do you know that if such an institution makes a mistake in the appraisal results, it will face a claim of millions?"In other words, these strictly regulated institutions never make mistakes. Rey’s excuse was flimsy at best."I asked John to do this. Could it be that she..." Rey tried to shift the blame to the servant, but I wasn’t having it."I just asked John and she said that when she went to the café to get a cup, there were two cups on the table,"

  • The Billionaire's Sweet Contract Wife   Chapter 145 She's a snake

    Ava’s povI watched as Rey tried to play her little games, but she seemed to have forgotten one crucial detail—Christopher is my biological brother. How could an outsider like her possibly sow discord between siblings who share the same blood? It was almost laughable.Christopher glanced at her indifferently, his expression cold and unreadable. "Oh," he said simply, dismissing her attempt to gain his sympathy.Rey was left speechless, her carefully prepared words stuck in her throat. I hid my smile behind my teacup, taking a sip to conceal my amusement. My brother’s ability to see through people’s intentions was sharper than mine. Even he could see through Rey’s White Lotus act."Mr. Carpenter, I have something to tell you. Can we go out and talk?" I asked, turning to Brandon."Sure," he replied, standing up and following me out to the courtyard.As we walked, I noticed Rey’s anxious expression. She clearly wanted to follow us, but she couldn’t just leave Christopher alone in the room

    Sophie’s pov :I was sitting on the lawn, still feeling a bit sore from last night’s… activities with the Sir, when I heard a familiar voice call out to me."Bella, I didn’t expect you to be so good at fighting green tea."I turned around, surprised and delighted to see Ava walking toward me. "Ava! Why are you here?"She grinned and sat down next to me. "Luckily, I came, otherwise I would have missed your green tea show."I blushed, realizing she must have seen me earlier, wearing all that jewelry to make a point. Embarrassed, I started taking off the necklaces and rings, putting them back into my bag.Ava raised an eyebrow. "Bella, you look so good wearing it. Why are you taking it off?"I groaned, feeling my cheeks heat up even more. "Don’t make fun of me. I was just trying to piss them off."Who would wear so many jewels out of nowhere? It was way too heavy, and my neck and fingers were already tired. I couldn’t wait to take it all off.Ava chuckled, clearly understanding my person

    Sophie’s pov :The next day, I walked into school with an awkward posture, my legs feeling sore and unsteady. I was terrified that someone would notice, but of course, my friends did."Bella, what's wrong with you?" Carolyn asked, her voice filled with concern as she eyed me carefully.My face flushed red, and I quickly came up with an excuse. "It's nothing. I had a leg cramp when I slept yesterday. It hurts a little."Carolyn frowned, still looking worried. "Please sit down and have a rest. You have physical education class later. What are you going to do?"I sighed, already dreading the thought of running or doing any kind of physical activity. "Let me talk to the teacher and see if I can ask for leave."When the teacher arrived, I used my menstruation as an excuse, and to my surprise, she granted me leave. Normally, this teacher is very strict and rarely allows students to skip PE, no matter how unwell they claim to be. But for some reason, she was particularly lenient with me. May

    Dominic’s pov :After coming out to pour a glass of water, I couldn’t shake the growing discomfort in my chest. The house felt too quiet, too empty, even though Sophie was just in the other room.I glanced at the clock—it was just past ten. In the past, the little girl would sit on the sofa and wait for me to get off work, no matter how late it was.Even if I told her countless times not to wait, she’d stubbornly stay up, her eyes drooping with sleep but her determination unwavering. She’d always greet me with that soft, sleepy smile, and it made coming home worth every second.But now? She was already asleep.I frowned, the wrinkles between my brows deep enough to pinch a fly to death. Was this what they meant when they said couples eventually lose their passion and become more like family? We’ve only been married for less than a year, and already she’s so… perfunctory with me. What would happen in the future? The thought made my chest tighten uncomfortably. I didn’t like it. Not one

    Sophie’s pov :It all started with the rumors on the forum. Someone had posted that I, Sophie, had married a poor and ugly man. Honestly, I wasn’t angry. People say all sorts of things, and I’ve learned to brush them off.But Edwin, my cousin, couldn’t stand it. He was furious. How could anyone call Sir—Mr. Williams—poor and ugly? Edwin thought the people spreading these rumors were blind and stupid. He decided to take matters into his own hands.One day after school, Edwin secretly followed me. When I ran toward the Sir like a butterfly, Edwin snapped a few photos. He posted them on the forum, but to protect Sir’s identity, he only released blurry side profile photos. Still, the Sir’s tall, straight figure and his aloof aura were enough to win over a lot of female fans.The post was titled: Rumors Debunked: Sophie’s Boyfriend is a Handsome Guy! His Net Worth is a Mystery, He is Definitely Not a Poor and Incompetent Man!As soon as the photos were released, the forum exploded. Comment

    Rey’s pov :I walked into Amanda’s room, my expression carefully arranged into one of concern. She was sitting by the window, her face pale and her eyes red-rimmed. It was clear she’d been crying. Good. The more upset she was, the easier it would be to manipulate her. I needed her to deal with Sophie for me, and for that, she had to be motivated.“Amanda, what’s wrong with you?” I asked, my voice soft and sympathetic. I sat down beside her, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. She turned to me, tears silently streaming down her face. My mind raced. What had happened?“Why are you crying?” I pressed, my tone gentle but probing. “Who bullied you? Was it Sophie?”Amanda closed her eyes, as if the mere mention of Sophie’s name pained her. She didn’t answer immediately, and I felt a flicker of impatience. I needed her to talk, to give me something to work with.Finally, she spoke, her voice trembling. “Rey, tell me, should I not like Dominic? I saw the pictures… he brought that neckl
