บททั้งหมดของ THE TRIUMPH OF MY CHEATING HUSBAND : บทที่ 131 - บทที่ 140

The hospital waiting room was less crowded and with very few people but was filled with the sounds of beeping machines and people talking. Aunt Elsie led the way, holding Herzl's hand tightly as they made their way to the front desk.The receptionist greeted them with a wide smile and asked how she could help them —she seems new, so aunt Elsie wasn't bothered by the question and decided to reply to her casually.“We're here to visit my niece, Ms. Fellers.” Aunt Elsie said, her voice firm and polite. “She's a patient here.”The receptionist typed on the computer for a moment, then looked up at them. “I see, Ms. Fellers is in intensive care, so I'm afraid you won't be able to visit her.” The receptionist explained, her tone sympathetic. “Only immediate family is allowed in the ICU.”Aunt Elsie felt a surge of frustration, almost forgetting the fact that she made the rules herself —but still, she's an exception to it. She knew that there was no way she would be able to convince the rece

Ryan walked up to the front desk and spoke to the receptionist, explaining why he was there to her. But the receptionist denied him entrance, stating her reasons for it. He tried explaining how important it is to see Ciara at the moment but the receptionist kept turning him down, no matter how hard he tried.Ryan was frustrated, how was he supposed to explain his relationship with Ciara to this lady? He will only sound like a madman telling her he was her ex-husband since no one knew about their marriage —he doubts it if her family knows anything about it too.“I'm sorry, but I really need to see her.” Ryan pleaded, his frustration mounting, and was left with no choice but to spill the beans. “She's my ex-wife, and I need to talk to her. I'm not at rest hearing about her predicament, that's why I'm here; I just want to make sure she's okay.”The receptionist still looked skeptical, but she could see the desperation in Ryan's eyes. “I'm sorry, but I can't make an exception, no matter h

The morning sun was already streaming in through the window, and Ryan could feel the day's demands creeping up on him already. He stood in front of his wardrobe, staring at the row of suits that hung inside.Ryan hadn't worn one in months, and he felt a mix of emotions as he considered putting one on again. He finally reached for a navy-blue suit, shaking the wrinkles out as he pulled it off the hanger.He unbuttoned his shirt, sliding it off and replacing it with a crisp white button down. Furthermore, he buttoned it up, adjusting the cuffs and then slipping the jacket on. As he stood in front of the mirror, he couldn't help but feel a little bit like a stranger.Knowing he will be spending quite a lot of time in the States before returning to France, he leased a house. The new journey he's about to embark on will be quite a long ride; he needed, if not, a temporary place to stay.As Ryan stood in front of the mirror, admiring his reflection, his thoughts drifted to the reason for co

After the initial meeting of Ryan requesting to fill in the position of the company's CEO, they were discussing the benefits of letting him take over when Aunt Elsie barged into the conference room, the clanking sound from her heel vibrating aggressively throughout the room.The meeting was about to end when she had entered, but her presence had abruptly stopped the meeting with everyone present in the room wearing either a puzzled or questioning look —it was obvious they did not expect to see her at the moment.Aunt Elsie stood a few feet away from the huge oak door, glaring hells at them; they could feel the invincible heat from her glare poring aggressively into their skin —her aura was terrifying, making her presence more uncomfortable.“It seems like a good way to abruptly end the meeting like this.” Her voice was not only sharp, but venom was laced in it as well. “Perfect timing —I came just at the right time.”Mr. Robert stood up almost immediately, wearing a hard stare on his

Aunt Elsie had come back from work quite late that day, fuming in anger due to what occurred earlier that day between her and the executives at the Lerman's company. She knew the contract she had ripped off was concrete evidence to oust her presence from the company and overthrow her from her post, but she wasn't ready to admit it.She might have ripped off Ryan's evidence, but that wasn't even enough to stop him; not when Ciara's copy of the contract is still existing. The executives had given Ryan his words and were bent on it, leaving Aunt Elsie to being a loser.Aunt Elsie would never admit to being the loser —she had come a long way for all of this! She had sacrificed Dwayne's life, Ciara's mental health and Herzl's happiness to come this far; all of these are not for her to be addressed as a loser at the end!Earlier that day at the office, after she returned from the Lerman's company, she had searched every part of the office for Ciara's copy of the contract, but her efforts pr
