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

Jade immediately caught up with her."I'll go with you; two pairs of eyes are better than one!"Patricia shook her head in refusal."No need, stay at home and take care of Fannie. Charles is already missing, if anything were to happen to Fannie, I wouldn’t be able to go on." Patricia said solemnly. Her words reminded Jade."Well then, you stay at home and watch over Fannie, I'll go out and look!" Jade insisted.Patricia shook her head again, "No need, I know Charles's habits. Maybe he left some secret signs along the way. You take care of Fannie; I'll go find him."With the conversation reaching this point, Jade couldn't say anything more and reluctantly agreed."Alright, if anything happens, contact me immediately." Jade pressured Patricia."Okay!" Patricia nodded, about to leave when Jade seemed to remember something and grabbed her hand, suggesting, "Patricia, why don't we find Martin?"Patricia's mind went blank for a moment. "Find Martin?"Jade nodded, "With Martin's skills and

The next day.Alan went to the hospital to collect some documents from Martin.Martin's sharp and unwavering eyes stared at him, their depths murky and unfathomable, making it hard to discern his emotions.Alan felt a chill run down his spine from being stared at like that, and a sense of foreboding overwhelmed him, urging him to escape from there."If there's nothing else, boss, I'll head back to the company." Alan tried to excuse himself.Martin reclined on the sofa, elegantly crossing his long legs together. He twirled a jade thumb ring on his left thumb.His look expressionless, as he asked in a deep voice usually reserved for intimidation tactics in negotiations."Are you hiding something from me?"Alan felt as if he had been thrown into an icy cellar, his whole-body shivering. Under the piercing gaze of Martin, he remained frozen.With his neck stiffened, Alan shook his head and tried to sound calm as he replied."No, how could I hide something from you?" Martin tugged at his li

Realizing that she almost spilled the beans, Patricia forcefully swallowed the unfinished words.Martin stared intensely at her, saying, "Actually what?"Patricia clenched her teeth and bit her lip seeing no other way out, she pleaded in a low voice."As long as you promise to help me find Charles, I'll do anything for you! I'll do whatever you ask."Her implication didn't soften Martin's heart. On the contrary, his face grew darker, his eyes burning with anger. He gripped her jaw, forcing her to look at him, and through gritted teeth, said."Patricia, what do you think I am? A despicable person taking advantage of any opportunity?"Patricia hurriedly explained, "No, that's not what I meant."Martin's face was full of mockery, "Then what did you mean? Do you think I, Martin, would still touch a woman who has another man's child?"Patricia felt embarrassed, her face turning red, tears welling up in her eyes."Charles is not an illegitimate child, he is the flesh that fell from my body

Roger looked at the bottle of medicine without reaching out to take it. "What is this?" he asked.Debbie retorted, "What do you think it is?"Immediately, Roger grew agitated. "He's just a four-and-a-half-year-old child. Are you really so malicious to poison him? We agreed before that sending them out of Ivara City would be enough!"Debbie stared at him as if he were an idiot."This is a sleeping pill. One pill will make him sleep for a whole day! Give him one daily to prevent him from influencing all of you." Debbie said in a seething voice. Relieved to hear that it was a sleeping pill, Roger let out a breath and took the bottle from her hand.Debbie urged with concern, "Remember, one pill every day until you send them out of Ivara City."After leaving the earthen house, Debbie instructed Sean, "You can take action against Patricia now! She's easy to deal with because she's constantly searching for Charles everywhere."Since the incident at the detention center, Martin had been as

In her semi-conscious state, Patricia regained some consciousness during a bumpy ride. Faintly, she heard voices conversing."Should we go to the dock now?" One of the people in the vehicle questioned."Martin has blocked all the routes out of Ivara City, so we can't leave normally. We'll have to smuggle ourselves out! Sean has arranged two cargo ships for us. You take the little boy on one ship, and I'll take this woman on the other.""Why not send them away together?" the second man questioned."Sean said they shouldn't be kept together and shouldn't be sent to the same place. They need to be separated, never to see each other again in their lives.""Damn, Sean is so cruel! Separating a mother and child, isn't that a death sentence for them? This little boy is only four and a half years old. Abandoned alone in a foreign country, how can he survive? He will starve to death on the streets one day.""Yeah! The little one is definitely on a one-way road to death, and the older one... we

The Maybach raced along the bumpy road.With dozens of black SUVs following behind, the scene resembled something from a television show.Alan and Martin sat in the rear seats of the Maybach. Alan handed Martin a document and said,"We found Madam's cellphone in an abandoned warehouse on the east side of the city. Through fingerprint analysis from the scene, we discovered that a man named Grant kidnapped Madam.”Alan continued. “I also had people investigate Grant thoroughly. The file you have in your hand contains all of Grant's information."Martin opened the document and scanned it thoroughly.Grant, 35 years old, from Ivara City. At the age of 18, he was imprisoned for fighting. Two years later, he completed his sentence.One year later, he broke into a residence and accidentally injured the occupant, leaving them paralyzed for life. He was imprisoned again, this time for three years. Two years later, he was imprisoned for drug smuggling. This time, he received a ten-year sentenc

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
