All Chapters of Resisting My Possessive Ex-husband : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Patrick's POVSebastian had been absent for days, leaving me with no one to confide in regarding Rose's mysterious death. I couldn't accept the police ruling it as a suicide; something definitely didn't add up.I sat in my office, wondering about what Rose had said to me before I found her dead. Was she actually telling the truth or did she make things up just to extort money from me?I was just confused on the next action to take as I wanted to really find out what happened five years ago but the death of Rose led me to a dead end. "Sir, the board of directors is waiting for you in the boardroom," Trisha announced as she entered my office.I sighed in frustration, wondering what the board wanted now. Their continuous attempts to undermine my position as CEO and seize my shares were getting absurd.When will they ever give up on their numerous plots?"What about Sebastian? Any word from him?" I asked, hoping for a message or some indication from Sebastian."No, Sir. After taking some

Patrick's POV To say I was shocked to see Alex on a zoom call was an understatement. But there she was, seated on a chair, staring at me with her familiar nonchalant gaze.Anger consumed me as I yelled, "You! You hurt Suzy and ran off, didn't you? I saw the CCTV. You knew Suzy was coming to my office, right? Is that why you did what you did?"She cleared her throat and said formally, "Mr. Gale, I don't owe you an explanation. I joined this zoom meeting to clarify that I willingly gave my shares to Mr. Berkeley.""You owe me no explanation? Suzy's life was at risk because of you! I swear, I will find you and when I do, you will definitely pay for what you did.""Mr. Gale, we all are present today when you just uttered these words. Does that mean you are threatening Miss. Johnson?" That buffoon, Mr. Berkeley interrupted.I glared at him, and Mr. Stephen whispered, "Watch what you say, Patrick," tapping my shoulder.I didn't care because I was determined to hold Alex accountable for her

Patrick's POV"I can't believe all this happened, and you didn't care to inform me all this while?"Sebastian and I sat in my office as I listened to him narrate all that had happened with his brother and mother."It's hard to believe that someone as cheerful as you went through such an ordeal with your own mother," I said in disbelief."Patrick, it honestly hasn't been easy. Louisa has proven to be nothing but an opportunist over and over again. When I first heard what she did to Mason, I couldn't help but remember the pains I went through in her hands. How could a mother do this to her own child?""How's Mason now? Is he adjusting to the city?" I inquired."He's doing well. Alice has been a great help, coming most weekends to cook and spend time with us.""Considering how wonderful Alice has been, have you thought about keeping her by your side?""Keeping her by my side? I don't understand.""Why not marry her?" I suggested."Marriage isn't as simple as it seems, Patrick. I know Ali

Patrick's POV"Care to explain to me what exactly is going on?" I asked angrily, tossing some documents at Mr. Stephen's table immediately I stepped into his office."Good day to you too, Patrick," he said, briefly looking at the documents. His face remained unfazed even after going through the documents."I know you are currently upset, but we cannot speak here. Come with me," Mr. Stephen said, picking up his jacket and leaving his office.What exactly was he up to? And why couldn't we talk at his office?I was still angry with him, but decided to follow him. We went to the parking lot and headed towards his car."What's going on? And why couldn't we just discuss at your office?" I inquired."I will explain everything to you soon enough, just be patient." That was all he said before he told me to get in and took us to a restaurant.The restaurant was located just a few blocks away from the company. Although not extravagant, the restaurant looked appealing. Mr. Stephen, upon being re

Patrick's POV I was done with my preparations, it was finally time to travel down to Alex's city and confront her. Mr. Stephen was still apprehensive and showed his concerns but I assured him I would handle the situation well.I had also requested for his men watching Alex and he obliged. I tried to reach out to Susan on several occasions but her number just wasn't reachable.The last attempt I tried, George was the one who picked the call and warned me never to call or disturb his wife ever again.What was wrong with them? I only wanted to see Isabella before I left. I didn't want to stir up trouble, so I decided to wait till I got back from my trip before I request to see my daughter again."I sincerely hope you know what you are doing?" Sebastian asked as he watched me going through the documents he brought to my office."Why does everyone behave as if I would mess things up? Can't you all have a little faith in my capabilities?" I questioned, tired of the incessant questions and
