The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 31 Martin's Losing Control
Afraid that the person might come after Randy again, Patricia hurried back to the Ellenstein Villa District before dinner. Randy sat sulking at the table, arms crossed, with a pout on his little mouth. Martin's face was gloomy, indicating his own dissatisfaction as well. Neither of them paid any attention to each other, just staring, with the air filled with tension."I want to find mommy." Randy said in a tone that showed his stubborn nature."Your mommy has her own things to do. She can't be with you 24/7. You can't selfishly keep her by your side forever." Came Martin’s reply.Randy didn't listen and persisted, "No, I want mommy."Martin's temples bulged and his voice squeezed out through his teeth, "Randy!"Unfortunately, his words had no effect on Randy."If you don't let me video call mommy, I won't eat. If you can bear it, then let me starve!" came Randy’s warning.A storm cloud obscured Martin's eyes and the surrounding air turned cold.Helpless watching the bickering between

Patricia suddenly came to her senses remembering Martin's previous actions to her. She struggled desperately in fear. "Martin, what do you want to do? Let go of me!"But Martin was already like a mad beast, ruthlessly ravaging her lips, the fiery kiss traveled down to her neck, as if he wanted to release all the suppressed anger at once.Realizing his intentions, Patricia was truly scared. As tears began to stream down her face, they dropping onto Martin's face below.The tears falling against his flushed face gradually brought Martin back to his senses, looking at Patricia with tears in her eyes, her disheveled clothes. Guilt and self-reproach engulfed him.He couldn't believe that he, who had always been cold and ruthless, would be reduced to this state, he had lost all his inhibitions. He, who was usually composed, unexpectedly lost control and almost had a sexual encounter with her. What was worse is that he was on the verge of forcing such an encounter on her."I'm sorry!" Marti
The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 33 Martin mistook the child.
Ryan took off his sunglasses and looked at the words "Amusement Park," feeling shocked."Are you sure we're at the right place? The three of us big men came to play at an amusement park. We're elite Wall Street professionals who count millions of dollars, do you think it's appropriate for us to play here?" Ryan asked.Carter pinched his nose completely speechless at this point and said, "Yeah, I think you should bring your child here to play, not us."Martin's thin lips curled up slightly as he said, "Well, I brought you here to find him!"Ryan asked, "Is your son here?"Martin nodded and took the lead to walk inside.Ryan looked down at his suit and followed behind him, muttering, "Martin, since we're coming here to play, why didn't you tell us earlier? We could have at least changed into casual clothes. Have you ever seen someone wearing a suit to an amusement park? Others will think we're pretentious."Martin walked on, as if he hadn't heard, while Carter shook his head helplessly
The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 34 Feeling Father's Love for the First Time
Charles was afraid that Jade would blurt something out in anger. He quickly grabbed Martin's hand and said, "Daddy, I'm tired of playing. Let's go home!"Jade, was consumed by anger so she didn't think much about what Charles was trying to do and rejected without hesitation, "Go home? No I promised your mommy that I would take good care of you!"Charles was infuriated by her response and kept signaling to her with his eyes. "I will explain everything to my mommy! Jade, you go back first, or play by yourself. Daddy and I will go back."Jade, slow to react, glared at Martin with anger and turned to leave.Charles felt fortunate that he and Randy were twins with identical faces. He shook Martin's arm and acted spoiled, saying, "Daddy, let's go back! I'm tired."Martin was incensed and didn't notice anything unusual with the child. He prepared to leave with him.Unexpectedly, Ryan grabbed them and wouldn't let them go. "No, since we're here, let's play for a while! I saw several attracti

Martin rubbed his head, "I'm done with the blood draw, now it's your turn! A man keeps his promises!"Charles reluctantly rolled up his sleeves as if he was going to face his death.Afraid that he might be scared, Martin pressed his head against his chest, covering his eyes, gently patting his back with his thick palm, "Don't be afraid, Daddy will be with you all the way."His deep voice, seemingly penetrating Charles’s heart, inexplicably brought comfort to him.Despite being afraid of pain more than anything, when the needle pierced his skin, it didn't hurt at all. His heart and eyes were filled with the father who held him in his arms.After the series of tests were completed, the results were...Everything seemed fine and the doctor's explanation was that Charles had Charles had an upset stomach. He advised applying a hot compress and drinking plenty of hot water. After returning home, Martin personally took care of Charles, applying the hot compress himself and feeding him water

Martin frowned. "What nonsense are you talking about?"Ryan took a deep breath, slowed down his pace and explained word by word,"When Carter and I were on the roller coaster, we saw Patricia holding two children, a girl and a boy. The boy looked exactly like Randy! I swear, I really didn't make a mistake."Martin asked in a deep voice, "Patricia?""Yes, it was Patricia!" Ryan nodded repeatedly.Martin repeated his words, "You're saying you saw her holding Randy and a little girl? When and where?"He was clearly implying that he didn't believe it.Ryan's chest ached with anger. "What I said is true! It happened shortly after you took Randy away, about twenty or thirty meters southeast of the roller coaster."Martin looked at Carter. "Did you see it too?"Carter shook his head. "I didn't see anything!"Compared to their calmness, Ryan was impulsive and impatient."He's nearsighted, for sure he didn't see! If you don't believe it, you can check the surveillance footage!I can assure you,
The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 37 Exchanging Identities for Two Babies
Charles broke out in a cold sweat down his back. He accelerated his pace, managing to erase Patricia, Randy, and Fannie from the video just seconds before the surveillance was retrieved, as if they had never been in the amusement park.Mission accomplished, Charles breathed a sigh of relief and felt his strength drain from his body, collapsing on the ground.It was really too close just now. They were just a hair's breadth away from disaster.At the same time, across the hall...Martin and Ryan received the surveillance footage sent by Alan.He rushed to the computer and fast-forwarded the video to the spot near the jumping platform.However, after watching it countless times, he couldn't find Patricia and the two children in the crowd, even though the time and location were correct."How is this possible?" Ryan couldn't believe his eyes and rubbed them vigorously.Martin's pupils contracted, his gaze turned cold, and there was a hint of a sinister smile on his lips as he looked at hi
The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 38 Five years after the divorce, they slept again
The road was dark.Martin's tall figure was shrouded in the dim streetlight, his face unreadable.Patricia struggled to keep herself calm, and without moving, she stuffed the bag into her purse and slowly turned around with Randy in tow.A powerful chill swept toward her.Although she couldn't see Martin's complexion, she could clearly feel that he was angry.The cold air he was emitting was madly channeled toward her.The emptiness of her heart made Patricia inexplicably nervous, fearing she had been caught, unsure how much Martin had witnessed.She licked her dry lips and tried not to let her voice tremble, "Randy knows I'm back, so he came to pick me up!"Martin strode with broad strides closing the distance between them quickly.As he approached them, the air around him thinned.Patricia's eyes dodged around sheepishly, not daring to look at him directly.Her expression faltered under Martin's gaze, adding another layer to his suspicions. He swept his gaze coldly over her backpack

Martin, lost in thought and gazing into the distance, didn't see Charlotte deliberately fall to the ground when her relatives reached out to her."Ah..."Her cry successfully snapped Martin back to reality.He immediately bent down to help her up. "Are you okay? Did you hurt yourself?"Charlotte, tears welling up in her eyes, replied pitifully, "My wrist hurts so much, I think I've fallen on it again! I hope it's not dislocated?"Martin noticed the bandage on her wrist had come undone.The packet of medicine inside was nearly falling out. Anger started to well up inside him; this time, he was thoroughly enraged."Alan, take all of them to the police station, contact the lawyer, charge them with slander, intentional harm, extortion... I want them in jail."Feeling his boss's rage, Alan immediately carried out the order."Why are you suing us? We're the ones who have been wronged.""Just because you're wealthy doesn't put you above the law. Let me tell you, we won't back down without pr
The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 179 Patricia Discovers Hunter's Secret
Hunter looked at her with tenderness, patiently waiting for her to finish speaking.Seeing his gentle expression, Patricia found it difficult to voice the words at the tip of her tongue. Nervously she reached for the lemon water on the table and took a gulp.She drank too hastily, and the sourness made her teeth quiver, causing her face to scrunch up.Hunter was amused by her adorable expression and considerately poured a little packet of sugar into her lemon water."I remember you used to hate sour tastes! What changed? Are you not afraid anymore? Going straight for it?" he asked with a smile.With her cheeks flushed with embarrassment and faced with his caring gesture, found her words of refusal even harder to pronounce.Hunter stirred the water in her cup with a straw for a while, making sure the sugar dissolved, then handed it back to her: "Here, try now. It shouldn't be sour anymore."Patricia nodded and took a sip through the straw. The taste was a bittersweet delight.Although
The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 178 The Feeling Between Martin and Charlotte Was Strange
Only when the phone’s ringtone broke the silence, the deadlock was finally broken.Martin glanced at the caller ID with a gloomy expression, sighed, turned the phone upside down on his thigh in resignation. He turned to Patricia, unbuckled his seatbelt, and moved closer, taking hold of her shoulders. With a serious and helpless look on his face, he said, "Patricia, I'm sorry, I admit I was too overbearing just now. But I'm being overprotective because I care about you so much, and I don't want to see you getting too close with Hunter."Care? It was the first time Patricia had heard this word from him.The anger in her chest dissipated almost instantly, and her tone softened unconsciously. "Hunter and I grew up together. When Debbie and her daughter bullied me, he was the one who protected and encouraged me time after time. He is very important to me. If a condition for remarrying you is to cut ties with him, then I can give you the answer now."Even without her saying it, Martin gues
The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 177 Not Like a Sister, But Like a Lover
Martin didn't give her a chance to escape, questioning every word, "So, is what Hunter said true? Are you really going to get engaged and marry him?"Patricia felt that the matters between her and Hunter couldn't be explained in just a few words, and moreover, everything was premature without having cleared things up with Hunter first.Seeing her still not responding, Martin grew impatient and urged, "Answer my question."Patricia pulled her hand back and said indifferently, "I won't marry him."That was her only answer. The rest, she wasn't ready to share with Martin yet.This answer caused a surge of joy in Martin's heart, his previously tense facial features gradually softened as he smiled like a child, unable to hide his delight."I knew you wouldn't like him." He said.Patricia rolled her eyes at him, "Now take me back to the restaurant."The smile on Martin's face vanished in an instant, and he refused without hesitation, "No, I won’t..."Before he could finish, his cell phone r
The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 176 I Cannot Share a Man with Another Woman
Upon hearing his question, Patricia burst into laughter, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "So what if it is? What difference does it make if it isn't?"She did not deny it.Martin took her non-denial as an admission, and his handsome face darkened like the bottom of a pot, his eyes filled with brooding shadows."I don't agree.""Haha..." Patricia laughed even harder, her snort of derision loud and unmasked. "And might I ask, who are you to me? By what right do you interfere? What does it matter to you whom I'm with? At best, you're nothing more than my ex-husband. Remember, ex-hus-band."She enunciated the words “ex-husband” deliberately, making sure he grasped their significance.Martin's normally composed brows furrowed, wrapping him in an aura of cold sternness.He was clearly displeased with these words. Then silence hung in the air, heavy and enigmatic.He spoke with grave seriousness, "Let's remarry!"As he spoke, a chilly wind blew past them, its whistling sound drowning out Mar

Hunter expected Martin to back down and leave in a sorry state.However, to his surprise, Martin’s expression was filled with pain as he stared at their clasped hands for a moment and then strode over to them.Confusion filled Patricia as she instinctively turned her head and locked eyes with Martin, whose gaze burned with fierce anger. Her mind felt like it was exploding as if something detonated."How did you get here?" Patricia asked, barely able to form the words.No sooner had the words left her lips than Martin had reached out, forcibly separating Patricia and Hunter's clasped hands. In Patricia's stunned state, he grabbed her wrist and started to pull her away."Martin, what are you doing?" Patricia's heart began to flutter with slight panic.Martin's face had been a ghastly sight just now, as if he was on the verge of a killing spree. She had no clue where his rage was coming from.Hunter quickly stood up and seized Patricia's other wrist, forcing Martin to stop. Martin turned
The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 174 Martin Intends to Confess to Patricia
The doctor conducted a thorough examination of Charlotte. Her wrist wasn't fractured but had suffered from a dislocation and soft tissue damage."Mr. Langley, please hold her tightly. I'm about to reset the bones in her wrist, which may cause some discomfort. Keep her steady, and do not let her move.""Bone reset!" Just hearing it, Charlotte's eyes widened with fear, and her body trembled. Despite this, she bravely closed her eyes, extended her hand, and prepared herself for the pain. "Go ahead! I'm not afraid of the pain!"The doctor looked surprised and said, "It's going to be very painful. Are you sure you're not afraid?"His words instantly drained the color from her face, but she vigorously nodded, clenching her teeth, and refusing to voice her fear."I'm not afraid! Back when I was boarding at school, someone pushed me down the stairs, and I broke my leg but didn’t cry. I can handle this pain!" she explained."You were pushed down the stairs?" Martin's discerning eyes narrowed,
The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 173 Charlotte's Scheme
Patricia's heart skipped a beat. She knew she had been framed, again. And this woman's tactics were identical to Debbie's.Not only did she remind her of Debbie, but her methods and cunning were also the same. Indeed, Martin's taste had never changed. He always liked these hypocritical, nauseating women who could put on an act.The incident had happened too quickly; the onlookers only saw a scuffle but hadn't truly seen who had started it. They only saw someone fall and another with a hand outstretched as if pushing, so they naturally assumed Patricia was the aggressor."Professor Watson, what happened? Why did you push her?" one on looker asked."Yes, Professor Watson, is there some conflict between you two? If so, have a proper conversation about it. Getting physical in public won't do your reputation any favors." Another said."Yes! Professor Watson, perhaps you and her should talk in your office? It's not convenient in this corridor."After the incident with Debbie, everyone's vie
The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 172 Charlotte is Debbie
Martin had thought he would be calm when he saw Patricia again, as if nothing had ever happened.But in this moment, with Patricia standing right in front of him, his heart raced with intense emotions that he had suppressed for so long. It was in that moment that he realized the depth of his love for her, far greater than he had ever imagined.He couldn't bear to see her with Hunter, nor could he draw a clear line between them. "You..."Martin's lips parted as he tried to speak to her, to bridge the distance between them.Unfortunately, Patricia had made up her mind to keep her distance, and with her head bowed, she took a step back, yielding the path ahead.Martin clenched his fists tightly, struggling to contain the anger and turmoil within him. Unaware of the tension between Martin and Patricia, Charlotte flashed a sweet smile at Martin and said, “Martin, let’s go! I can’t wait to see Randy!”Patricia smirked derisively, her lips curling up."Well, isn’t that affectionate?"Marti
