The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 91 Framing Patricia, After Killing to Silence
Sean had never expected Debbie to want to take his life. Caught off guard and defenseless, by the time he realized what was happening, a fruit knife had already pierced his kidney.Blood dripped onto the floor, and the strong smell of blood permeated the cramped space, while excruciating pain surged from his lower back.He abruptly released his grip on Debbie's hand, pointed at her, and his eyes widened with disbelief. "You... how ruthless are you, actually trying to kill me..."Debbie was expressionless, looking at him ominously as if she were the devil."Only when you are dead will this secret remain forever hidden. It's the only way I can ensure that Martin remains unaware and that I can maintain a secure and peaceful existence."Sean couldn't believe he would meet his end at the hands of a woman. Anger surged to his head, prompting him to reach for Debbie's neck."Even if I have to die, I'll make sure you're buried with me!"A sudden suffocating feeling turned Debbie's face brigh
The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 92 Charles Pranks Roger, Sending Another Distress Signal
Patricia mumbled all night long. Martin held her hand by the bedside all night.It wasn't until early morning the next day, having received a night's worth of intravenous drips, that she finally fell into a deep sleep. Her complexion had also improved quite a bit.When Alan came in with breakfast, he saw Martin tightly holding Patricia's hand, continuously comforting her with soft and gentle words, as if she were a priceless treasure.He had never seen his boss so gentle before and couldn't help feeling a slight touch of emotion.If only Boss had treated Madam with even a fraction of the tenderness he showed now, they wouldn't have been separated for five years, mother and son.Sigh!Alan sighed and placed the breakfast on the bedside table, persuading, "Boss, please eat something! You haven't rested for two days and nights. If Madam wakes up and you collapse, who will take care of her? She is still waiting for you to save Charles!"Upon hearing Charles's name, Martin's face suddenly
The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 93 Charles is Your Son
When no one responded, the person outside started banging on the door. "Roger... Roger... Hurry up and open the door, the guys are waiting for you! How much longer are you going to take?"Charles didn't dare to make a sound, tightly covering his mouth, and quickly climbed onto the bed, hiding his phone under the pillow.Seeing that no one responded from inside, the person outside the door started banging on it."Roger, say something, Roger..."Charles turned over, burying his little face in the pillow, trying his best not to make any noise.The knocking continued for about a minute.Before Charles could breathe a sigh of relief, the door suddenly opened from the outside. Someone walked to the side of the bed and forcefully pushed Roger, "Roger, get up, why are you still sleeping! Everyone is waiting for you, continue to block!"Unfortunately, Roger was sleeping like a log and couldn't be awakened no matter how hard he was pushed."Fuck... How can he sleep so soundly?"Saying that, the
The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 94 Martin Goes to Find Charles Personally
Patricia's words came to an abrupt halt, and panic overtook her as she looked up to find Martin standing before her."You? I thought you left?" he asked.Martin closed his eyes, took a deep breath to adjust his mindset, and slowed down his tone, "I was too harsh earlier. I apologize to you."Regret filled him the moment he stormed out in anger.How could he argue with a patient?Having gone through great lengths to rescue her from the brink of death, he couldn't bear the thought of engaging in another quarrel with her.Patricia stared at him in astonishment, unable to believe that he had taken the initiative to apologize.Seeing her looking haggard, Martin began to regret their recent argument. He bent down, laid her on the bed, and said assertively, "You shouldn't be angry now, you should rest well."Patricia gripped his sleeve tightly, refusing to let go. "I know you're angry, but I'm really worried about Charles. Can you tell me how he is doing?"No matter how much Martin disliked
The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 95 Charles is Your Twin Brother
After Martin left, Patricia was arranged to return to the hospital ward next to Randy's. Thinking about Charles all these days, she had neglected Randy. She took a shower and changed into clean clothes before going to Randy's ward. Randy lay quietly on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, his thoughts unknown. Patricia walked over and lay down beside him, instinctively trying to embrace him, but he moved away, turning his back to her. "...?"Patricia was taken aback, sensing Randy's abnormality, and quickly asked concernedly, "Randy, what's wrong? Are you in a bad mood? Tell Mommy, why are you feeling down?"Randy remained silent, still facing away from her.This time, Patricia realized that things seemed far more serious than she had imagined. Having recognized Randy for so long, he had never ignored her."Randy, did I do something to upset you? Tell me, if it's Mommy's fault, I will apologize to you."Randy stood straight, his shoulders twitching, with faint sobbing sounds. P
The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 96 Must Find Charles
Seeing that he had figured it out, Patricia nodded with a smile."Yes, that's Charles! Because you two look exactly the same, but Charles really wanted to meet you, so he covered his face."Randy was too shocked to say anything, finding it hard to believe.Seeing that he was temporarily comforted, Patricia couldn't help but reach out and gently touch his head. "Mommy really loves you. Don't question whether I love you or not, or else I'll be sad."Randy pouted and asked, "Then why did you give me to Daddy and take him away?"The change in how he addressed her let Patricia know that he had accepted Charles in his heart. She explained with a smile, "You were born with an illness, and I had no money at the time. In order for you to survive, I had no choice but to give you to your Daddy. But for these past four years, Mommy has never forgotten about you! I studied day and night, completing both a master's and a Ph.D., in order to come back as soon as possible and cure your illness. Both
The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 97 They tried everything to find Charlies
Having received Ryan's order, the maritime police who were about to leave had to turn back. Martin stared at the OMM cargo ship with sharp eyes and a dark, inscrutable expression, pondering something. Carter proposed, "Since we've confirmed Charles is on board, I think we should send more people to search. Whether they are hiding, received prior information and ran away, or there is a mole within the maritime police leaking secrets. Instead of waiting for something bad to happen, it's better to go straight in."Ryan agreed, "I think Carter is right. Since he is hiding with Charles, it means the news has leaked. In that case, let's send more people."Martin remained silent for a moment, then nodded, "Send people on speedboats to search the surroundings, and send more personnel to search the cargo ship. Don't let any cargo container go unchecked. Even if Roger took the lifeboat on a passenger ship, he won't get far."Upon receiving the order, Ryan's excited eyes sparkled. "I'm going to
The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 98 Martin and Charles Finally Meet
Ryan suddenly realized that the captain's secretive glances were flashing in his mind. Knowing he had been fooled, he cursed and turned around, heading back to the deck. "Vern, go and verify their crew members. If we can't find anyone on the entire cargo ship, then the person must be hiding among the crew."Vern was shocked by his words. "Yes! We were searching for people, not cargo! It's easier for a person to get exposed when hiding, but if they wear a sailor uniform and blend in with the crew, we wouldn't suspect them."Ryan was so infuriated that he almost dropped his phone.The captain, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, watched as Ryan and the others returned. Thinking about how they couldn't find anything despite the big commotion earlier, he became calmer."Vern, why are you here again? Did you forget something?" His tone couldn't conceal his satisfaction.Angered, Vern caressed his beard and glared, "Bring out the list of your crew members. I need to verify their ident

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
