The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 73 The Lipstick Stain on Martin's Collar
Upon hearing that they were going to Maple Leaf Restaurant, Patricia immediately refused without hesitation, "No, I'm not going! With my face like this, how can I go? Do you want everyone to know that I was beaten?"Martin smiled helplessly.Seeing him not saying a word, Patricia added, "You go if you want, but Randy and I won't go."Martin thought she had a point.Although the swelling on Patricia's face had subsided a lot, you could still see the clear imprint of five fingers, as well as the bite marks on her neck and collarbone, which could lead to misunderstandings.After a brief moment of thought, he decisively took out his phone and sent a message to Ryann and Carter."Patricia is sick, and I need to take care of her, so Randy and I won't go. You guys have fun!"Just when the agreement was made, Ryann didn't expect Martin to change his mind again."Patricia is sick, what happened to her? Randy and I will go visit her! We've been wanting to visit her since she returned to Ivara C
The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 74 Martin, You're Shameless
His excitement was interrupted, and a coldness spread across Martin's face. "What are you doing?"Patricia adjusted her clothes, buttoned them up, and glared at Martin with anger, tears swirling in her eyes. "Martin, you're truly shameless. Do you find joy in repeatedly humiliating me, making me feel embarrassed? Is that what satisfies you?"Martin's mind was clouded, and the alcohol prevented him from thinking clearly.He didn't understand. Everything was fine just a moment ago, so why did she suddenly change like this?"What are you talking about?"Patricia grabbed his collar and presented the lipstick mark to his face. "See for yourself! One moment, you're flirting with other women, and now you're showering me with sweet words. Martin, I must have lost my mind to forget the pain you once caused me and be fooled by you! Let me tell you, from now on, you're not allowed to touch me again, or I'll ruin you."After speaking, she turned around to leave the hospital room.Martin grabbed h
The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 75 Martin, What Are You Doing?
Startled by Martin's sudden appearance, Patricia, while relieved, couldn't help but feel angry, and her anger surged. "Martin, what are you doing?"Martin's face turned pale and he stared at her, flames burning in his eyes. "Shouldn't I be asking you that question?"For a moment, Patricia was bewildered. "What do you mean?"Martin unintentionally increased the strength in his grip. "Do you understand the difference between men and women?"Suddenly, Patricia understood his meaning and sneered, "It's the 21st century now. Do you still think it's so conservative?"Martin's expression grew even more unpleasant. "Lack of self-respect."This immediately angered Patricia. "What does that mean?""Not self-respecting? Just because of a collarbone? Besides..." She paused, her tone unknowingly becoming sharp. "Besides, what relationship do we have? What right do you have to control me? Even if I am not self-respecting, so what? I am single now, and if I want to be with several men, it's my choic

The Watson family.Debbie looked over the investigation materials, her face turning green with every line she read."It's not Randy, that little bastard. It's another little bastard Patricia gave birth to." Debbie cursed loudly.Manda took the materials from her hand and looked over the document.Inside were several photos.The photos showed Randy being called away by Fannie and Jade and another little boy who looked exactly like him taking off his clothes and hat in the flowerbed, pretending to visit Patricia.This caused Manda to question what was really going on, were these photos even authentic?The photo material was taken from surveillance videos. Although the image quality was not as good as a professional camera, it was clear enough to see their faces.Although Manda knew that Patricia had given birth to a pair of twins, this...This was the first time she had seen them up close, confirming what she had heard. But still she felt so surprised by it that her eyes widened."That
The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 77 Debbie staged a beautiful comeback.
Patricia didn't know what Martin and Madam Thomas talked about, but soon after, she received the news that Debbie had been reinstated.The discussion among the group of cardiology doctors was lively indeed with each having a different opinion on the matter.A coldness spread in Patricia's chest.She never expected that Martin would actually compromise on this matter. Then what about the grievances she had endured? What about the harm Randy suffered? Her mind was flooded with these thoughts.Indeed, there was no principle for Martin when it came to Debbie, no line Debbie couldn’t cross.Fuming silently, Patricia began to prepare a new preoperative checklist for Randy, planning to perform another surgery in three days.At that moment, Debbie swaggered into the office.When Patricia saw her come in, all she did was give Debbie an expressionless glance, not even bothering to greet her.Gladys, who had known about Debbie's reinstatement, had been waiting in the office and greeted her excit

After returning home, Patricia rolled up her sleeves and started cooking in the kitchen.Fannie was watching cartoons, while Charles sat in front of the computer, habitually accessing the Ivara City Hospital website and forum.Since mommy started working at Ivara City Hospital, the first thing he did after coming home from school most days was to check the hospital's website and forum for the latest updates.Today was no exception. As soon as he opened the forum, he saw a hot post with over eight thousand replies.The title of the post read: ‘Personally Appointed by Mr. Langley, Professor Brown Makes a Strong Comeback.’Charles frowned at the intriguing title and clicked onto the post to open it. The first comment that popped up was about Debbie returning to work.“This afternoon at three o'clock, Mr. Langley personally issued the order to restore Debbie to her previous position. The Thomas family's Bobby is now under her full responsibility.” One of the posts read.The comments belo

Debbie looked at Greta, who stood there unsure, in disbelief. She forced a smile and asked, "Greta, how did you come here?"Greta stepped out of the shadows, staring at Debbie with a gloomy expression, her body trembling with anger.As best friends for more than a decade, just one expression was enough for Debbie to know that Greta must have heard the entire conversation between her and Patricia earlier."Greta, you misunderstood. Patricia..." Debbie's words were cut short as Greta rushed over, gripping her arms tightly and angrily asking. "Debbie, is what she said true?"Debbie's arms were hurting from Greta's grip, and her face twisted in pain."Greta, after our friendship of over ten years, do you really believe her and not me?" Debbie defended.Greta's emotions remained stirred up as she spoke."I heard Patricia say with my own ears that my brother's condition is not suitable for surgery and should be treated conservatively. Surgery would be very dangerous in his situation."Debb

The three teachers, seeing that the others had successfully taken Charles away, exchanged a knowing glance before leaving once Jade rejected them again. Jade straightened her disheveled clothes and sighed. "These people are so annoying. I've already said 'no' multiple times, yet they keep pushing their sales pitch. It's really frustrating."Pouting, Fannie said reluctantly, "Jade, I want that Barbie doll."Jade readily agreed, "Alright, I'll buy it for you. After dinner, I'll take you to the mall to have a look!"Upon hearing this, Fannie was ecstatic, nearly jumping up and down with joy. As she Jumped, she exclaimed excitedly."Jade, I love you so much! You're amazing!"Jade affectionately rubbed her little head. "Stop flattering me. Let's go buy groceries first. I'll make roasted lamb chops for you guys today!""Great!" Fannie said happily.Thinking about having a Barbie doll soon, Fannie suddenly felt that Jade's cooking wasn't that bad.Jade held Fannie's hand and instinctively

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
The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 175 A Man's Jealousy
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
