In the VIP room of the hospital, Baby David was finally allowed to go home after several days of intensive care. Damian held his son carefully, making sure to keep his little body warm under the soft blanket. His face was still full of worry even though the doctor had assured him that David's condition was stable. However, unlike Damian, Isabella looked relaxed. Instead of worrying about her son, she was busy looking at an exclusive jewelry catalog on her phone. "Honey, look at this!" Isabella exclaimed as she thrust the screen into Damian's face. "This pendant is amazing! It's the latest work from Queen Elisabeth. I want this one." Damian frowned. "Isabella, our son just got out of the hospital, and you're thinking about jewelry?" Isabella pouted. "So what, David is better, right? I just wanted a small gift as a celebration. After all, I am the mother of your son, Damian. You wouldn't mind buying me a locket, would you?" Damian snorted, giving Isabella an annoyed look. Howe

Inside their luxurious room, Isabella sat in front of the makeup mirror, polishing her face quietly. Occasionally, she glanced at Damian who was sitting on the sofa with an annoyed expression. "What do you mean she refused?" Isabella's voice was shrill when Damian finally told her the bad news. Damian rubbed his face roughly. "The admin said they don't accept private orders. I tried offering any price, but she refused." Isabella snorted loudly, putting down the lipstick in her hand roughly. "No way! I'm sure that Queen Elisabeth is just selling out. Doesn't she know who I am? I'm your wife, Damian! They should be honored if I wear their jewelry." Damian gave her a sharp look. "You think your status can buy you anything? Queen Elisabeth has her own rules, and she doesn't care who you are!" Isabella rose from her chair, approaching Damian with a face full of anger. "Then you're going to let her reject us just like that? Are you my husband or not? You should be able to get what

Nathan sat in his chair, one hand resting on his chin while his gaze was glued to the computer screen. However, his mind wasn't there. Repeatedly, he tried to focus on the financial report in front of him, but the scene kept replaying in his head. That kiss. It was brief, unexpected, but somehow left such a deep impression. Nathan let out a long sigh, trying to push his thoughts away, but it was as if something was tying him there. Damn it, why was he still thinking about it? It was just an accident. But still... Nathan got up from his chair, walked over to his office window, staring out at the cityscape with an expression that was hard to interpret. He couldn't be like this. Elena was just his employee. Nothing more. Nothing more... right? Meanwhile, in the design room, Elena was busy with some documents in her hands. She still felt her face burning whenever she remembered what happened in Nathan's room earlier. "Am I crazy?" she muttered under her breath. She sho

Isabella sat on the sofa of her luxurious home, a look of irritation on her face. In her hand, the cell phone she had just used to contact Tamara was still vibrating softly. She typed a message angrily. Tamara: [I'm sorry, Miss Isabella. Miss Queen Elisabeth cannot take your order because her schedule is very tight. She currently has many other projects to attend to].Isabella's eyes rounded, then without thinking, she immediately replied. Isabella: [What do you mean? I paid three times as much! Are you refusing that much money?!]There was no instant reply from Tamara, making Isabella's blood boil even more. Isabella: [Tell that designer to make a design for me! I want special jewelry from Queen Elisabeth!]A few seconds later, a reply finally came through. Tamara: [I'm sorry, but this decision is final.]Isabella stared at her phone screen with bated breath. Her anger boiled over, and she violently slammed her phone on the floor. BRAK!Damian, who had just entered the livi

The doctor looked at Elena with a calm expression as he straightened his white coat. "There is no serious problem, Miss Elena. You're just tired. Make sure to rest more and don't overexert yourself." Elena breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Doctor." Nathan, standing by the hospital bed, folded his arms across his chest. "Exhausted, huh?" his voice was flat, but the look in his eyes was full of reprimand. Elena glanced at the man briefly and then looked away. "I'm fine." The doctor smiled slightly. "Stay careful, Miss Elena. You're pregnant, so don't take fatigue lightly." After getting the all-clear, Nathan drove Elena straight to her apartment. Although his mouth didn't say much, his gaze and demeanor clearly showed that he was still annoyed with Elena for being so careless in taking care of her health. When they arrived at the apartment, the door was immediately opened by Olivia and Katty. Both of them looked happy when they saw Nathan standing next to their Mommy.

That morning, Elena was busy in the kitchen, preparing breakfast for her three daughters. The smell of toast filled the small room. Katty and Delya were already sitting at the dining table, waiting enthusiastically. However, Olivia was still standing by the kitchen door, her face looking glum. "Olivia, why are you so quiet? Come on, have breakfast," Elena said as she put the plate on the table. Olivia bit her lip, then looked down. "Mommy..." her voice was low, almost a whisper. Elena stopped what she was doing and looked at Olivia carefully. "What's wrong, honey?" Olivia took a deep breath, then looked at Elena with teary eyes. "There's a family event tomorrow at school. All my friends are coming with their moms and dads..." Elena immediately understood where this was going. She gently rubbed Olivia's head. "Honey, Mommy can come with you." "But my friends say that Daddy has to be there too..." Olivia squeezed the hem of her shirt. "Mommy... can you ask Daddy to come?"

That night, Elena stood in front of Damian's door. Her hands were shaking, not because of the cold, but because of the chaotic feeling. She knew very well how Damian and Isabella were, but for Olivia's sake, she had to put her pride aside. With a deep breath, Elena knocked on the door. Soon, the sound of steps approached, then the door opened. Damian stood there, dressed in a casual T-shirt and pants, his face looking tired and a little annoyed to see Elena in front of him. "What else?" he asked coldly. Elena swallowed. "I want to talk." Damian sighed harshly. "When it comes to the kids, we're divorced, Elena. I have no obligation whatsoever-" "It's about Olivia," Elena cut in quickly. Damian rolled his eyes, then huffed. "What now?" Elena bit her lip, fighting back the embarrassment that was starting to creep up on her. "There's a family event tomorrow at her school. She wants her father to come." Damian gave a short, sarcastic laugh. "And you expect me to come?" El

Nathan came out of the bathroom with a slightly red face. He rubbed the back of his neck, feeling awkward about what had just happened. Elena stood by the table, equally awkward. She avoided Nathan's gaze, fiddling with her own fingers, trying to ease the uneasiness in her chest. Nathan took a deep breath, then finally said, "Sorry." Elena turned her head. "For what?" Nathan rubbed his face. "I got carried away. I shouldn't have..." He trailed off, then looked at Elena. "I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable." Elena was silent for a moment before shaking her head softly. "It wasn't just you. I was wrong too, Mr. Nathan. I... I enjoyed your touch too, and that... shouldn't have happened." Nathan felt his chest pounding at Elena's words. He stared at her silently, trying to read the expression on her face. "Elena," Nathan finally stepped forward, unconsciously pulling Elena into his arms. Elena widened her eyes. "Mr. Nathan-" "One thing I want to know," Nathan whispere

That morning, the air felt stale than usual. Elena sat in the living room of her apartment, hugging her knees as she stared at the muted television screen. The business news scrolled quickly below, like a knife that kept slicing slowly into her sanity.~Stocks in a company owned by Elena Queen fell 3.4 percent this morning. The mall owned by Elena Queen also in the city center was reportedly empty of visitors. Analysts expect this to be an ongoing effect of the scandal that broke last week~Her cell phone rang. It was Tamara.Elena immediately picked up the phone."Elena, it's bad!". "I know, Tamara," she said quickly."Yes, but... Honey, you should see this morning's report. It's not just the central mall, our branches in Italy and Thailand are also dropping in turnover. They're asking - should we stop operations for a while?"Elena closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Don't panic... let's hold off for now. Let's set up a conference call this afternoon, and I'll explain myself."

That morning, at Damian's company headquarters, the atmosphere was different from usual. The staff looked more energized, as if a fresh breeze had just entered through the long-closed window.Damian walked into the boardroom, his suit neat, his face full of confidence. Several directors sat in a row, looking at him with mixed expressions of relief and disbelief."Good morning," Damian opened the meeting, his voice calm but steady."Mr. Damian, we just got confirmation," said one of the directors. "The new investor has officially injected funds. We can breathe easier starting this month."Damian nodded. "How much is the total investment?""Eight trillion, initial stage."David's eyes narrowed slightly. He knew that number wasn't small, and he also knew... it didn't come without a price."Who introduced this investor?" asked Damian, though he already knew the answer.One of the PR staff sitting in the corner of the room raised a hesitant hand. "Mrs. Isabella, Mr. Damian. She presented o

A while later. "This can't be... This guy's too sneaky," Nathan muttered, his eyes glued to the laptop screen that had just displayed the latest report from the digital tracking team.Mira nodded, her expression no less frustrated. "That guy erased the trail before we could identify the last IP point. We came close to finding the exact location, but somehow, the account just disappeared. All the records just vanished, like a ghost.""That guy's no amateur," Nathan rubbed his tired face. "This is clearly the work of someone who knows how to hide their identity... or has the help of a cyber insider."Elena stayed at the far end of the room, standing hugging herself. Her gaze was blank outside the window, staring at the buildings that had been a symbol of her former glory-which now felt like they were laughing at her."We almost knew who it was, but we failed," Mira said quietly."That means that person is still one step ahead of us," Elena replied quietly, her voice like mist covering
The Rise of the Betrayed Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 71 - The Abused Queen
This morning, the Queen Group's New York branch office looked different. Not because of the usual bustle of energetic employees, but because of the tense atmosphere hanging around every corner. The company's stock has plummeted, making investors nervous and the media pouring news like oil on a burning fire.In the main meeting room, Elena sits at the end of the table. Her hair, usually flowing in a beautiful bun, is now tied up in a makeshift bun. Bags under her eyes adorned her face, which was beginning to look tired. In front of her, the PR, legal and public relations teams sat with worried looks on their faces."What about the last update?" asked Elena, her voice hoarse but firm.Mira, the head of the legal team, sighed. "Our stock is down again, 12 percent since this morning. Some investors are starting to question Queen Group's reputation and are considering withdrawing support.""The demo at Queen's Mall is also getting worse," Jessy from the PR team continued. "The crowd is sta
The Rise of the Betrayed Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 70 - Elena is Attacked by Netizens
It was the morning after a week ago that Elena had settled matters at the company's branch in Italy. The sun was only partially shining on the balcony when Elena's cell phone notification beeped. She had just finished a light workout, sitting in the lounge with a glass of detox juice in hand.Her phone screen is full of notifications from Instagram, Twitter and even email. Her WhatsApp group is also unusually busy.Soon, Tamara's call came in."El, have you seen the news this morning?" Tamara's voice sounded panicked."No, I haven't. Why?" Elena took a sip of her juice, still relaxed."You have to watch the news on Twitter. Now!"Elena frowned, then opened Twitter. Within seconds, her eyes widened. The hashtag #ElenaQueenScandal was trending at number one. Many gossip accounts shared lewd video footage-with the caption: "Allegedly Elena Queen with a middle-aged man, is this how she gets investors?""WHAT IS THIS?!" Elena stood up reflexively, almost dropping the glass."That video ha

At ten o'clock in the morning, Elena was already sitting in front of her laptop. Her hair was neatly tied up, light makeup adorning her face. Even though it was only an online meeting, her appearance still reflected the authority of a big company owner. In front of her, a cup of black coffee steamed slowly.The laptop screen displayed the serious faces of Queen Group's Italian management team. Holic sat in the center, wearing a dark blue suit. Next to him, several division heads were also ready with their notes."Good morning everyone," greeted Elena in a calm but firm voice."Good morning, Mrs. Elena," everyone replied in unison."Mistress Elena," Holic spoke up first, "thank you for taking the time this morning. We are ready to receive instructions."Elena gave a brief nod. "I have studied all the documents you sent last night. And, to be honest, I'm not satisfied. There are many irregularities that are obvious but you seem to have let them pass."Everyone in the room looked down. T

The clock read 00:42. Elena had just changed out of her evening gown into champagne-colored satin pajamas. Her hair was loose, her face fresh despite the creeping tiredness. She turned off the living room light and stepped into the room, accompanied only by the sound of water gurgling from the small garden outside the window.Just as she was about to lay down on the soft bed, her cell phone vibrated softly on the nightstand.Holic Calling...Elena frowned. At this hour?She answered immediately. "Holic? What's wrong? You're calling at this time of night."The male voice on the other side sounded panicked. "I apologize for disturbing you at this hour, Mrs. Queen. But... it's urgent. Our branch company in Milan... we have a big problem."Elena sat up straight. "What problem? Explain.""This week, three big clients abruptly withdrew their cooperation. One of them is the Belucci Group. They said they no longer trust our management structure. And... there were rumors of embezzlement from o

It was late at night when the inauguration party ended. The lights of the decorations were extinguished one by one, and the building was quiet, with only the sounds of the staff cleaning up.Meanwhile at home, Elena sat in the living room with a cup of chamomile tea. The dress she had worn to the event still clung to her body, but she had taken off her shoes. Her legs are propped up on the sofa, and she occasionally closes her eyes, trying to shake off the tiredness that sneaks up on her.Her children had already gone to their respective rooms. Alva, the youngest, even kissed Elena on the cheek before going upstairs. "Mommy is really pretty tonight," he said innocently before yawning widely. Elena just smiled as she ruffled her son's hair.Just as she was about to take another sip of her hot tea, one of the waiters came hurriedly."Sorry to interrupt, Mrs. Elena..."Elena opened her eyes. "What's wrong?""There's a guest outside, ma'am."The cup in Elena's hand almost slipped away. "W

Elena was talking to some Italian investors when Damian, in a black suit and silver tie, slowly walked up to her. His breathing was heavy. His eyes can't escape the face of the woman he once ignored-and now stands as a symbol of victory in the shining night."Elena..." Damian's voice rang out clearly despite the music playing softly in the background.Elena turned her head slowly. That piercing gaze was back on her, making Damian feel like he was standing in the middle of a court of law."I know it's not the right time. But if I keep waiting, I might never get the chance."The guests began to glance over. Some of Elena's colleagues stepped aside slowly, making room, aware of the tension that was beginning to build.Damian reached into the inside pocket of his jacket. He knelt in front of Elena. The black velvet box opened in his hand, revealing a diamond ring with a delicate carving in the shape of a miniature crown in the center. Some of the guests immediately gave a small exclamati
