All Chapters of Second Chance at Love: From Divorcee to the Billionaire's Bride: Chapter 591 - Chapter 600

"I'm not falsely accusing you. The police officer saw you try to hit me first."Wendy innocently covered her face. With her already slender frame and hunched shoulders, she appeared weak and helpless, evoking sympathy.Wendy had always been a skilled actress. As she turned the tables, Carter's still-raised hand clenched into a fist.The veins on his hand and forehead bulged. Like a raging beast, he seemed ready to pounce and tear Wendy apart.When the police and guards weren't looking, Wendy made a grimace at him.In an instant, her expression shifted back to one of distress.Wendy had a knack for infuriating people. Her quick grimace made Carter lose all reason. Even with the police present, he was ready to lash out and assault Wendy to vent his anger.With the police nearby, this would only escalate the situation. They quickly restrained him, warning, "Don't move!""Thank you, I was so scared just now," Wendy said as she removed her hand from her cheek.Her right cheek was n

When Carter learned that Stephen was Wendy's representing attorney, he cursed, "That bastard just won't leave me alone."Crystal had repeatedly warned him not to mess with Stephen.Carter sat in his chair, his face dark and his eyes bloodshot, looking terrifying."Mr. Kingston...""Go tell Wendy I'm willing to settle," Carter said reluctantly.Carter was known for his vicious character and ruthless methods. When someone crossed him, he would do everything in his power to make their life miserable.Wendy had publicly beaten him, causing him to lose face completely. In front of the police, she had twisted the facts with her silver tongue. Carter absolutely refused to swallow this insult.His lawyer was no match for Stephen and couldn't gain any advantage against him.The lawyer was about to advise Carter to settle and pretend nothing had happened, but before he could speak, Carter voluntarily suggested a settlement. The lawyer was overjoyed."I'll contact the other party immedia

Stephen had been Joey's protector for years. Even without romantic feelings between them, defending her had become his instinct.His voice was cold and full of warning. "Miss Smith, you can eat your fill, but you should watch what you say.""Mr. York, you're such a smart guy. How have you been so stubborn about this for so long?" Wendy gazed at the blurry reflection in the window. "Joey is the editor-in-chief of First Media Magazine. She has influence at the magazine and connections in the industry. With social media being what it is today, hasn't she ever thought about using public opinion to expose Crystal's true colors?""There was a popular Netflix show about school bullying recently. What was it called again? Let me look it up." Wendy pulled out her phone and searched. "Ah, 'The Glory.' From the comments, you can see how much people hate bullying. This show got everyone talking.""Joey's a media-savvy person. If she really wanted payback, she would have used this chance to tak

"She knows her limits. I'm going back to work now," I said, about to enter the CEO's office.Luke interjected, "There's a business dinner tonight. You'll come with me."I usually memorized Luke's schedule by heart, and he didn't have any engagements tonight.The schedule must have changed!I needed to quickly jot down the guest's name, preferences, and taboos.This was my first time accompanying Luke to a business dinner since becoming his assistant.Nervous, I asked sincerely, "What should I prepare for the dinner?""You're fine as you are. Just leave with me after work," he replied."Yes, Mr. Walker.""Get back to work now."With that, Luke walked past me, one hand in his pocket.Luke was tall and lean, his 6'1" frame impressively statuesque.His posture was impeccable, his gait unhurried yet purposeful, more striking than any runway model.I was lost in thought, watching him leave, until Brian's voice snapped me back to reality."What are you looking at, Ms. Middleton?

"Stephen is up against a formidable opponent," I said, then realized that wasn't quite right. "If we could prove that Joey refused to transfer schools because she was involved with Carter and had ties there, then what happened to her later couldn't be blamed on Stephen!""If that were proven true, Stephen would feel like everything he's done all these years was a joke," Luke replied.His words gave me pause."So, would it be better if it were proven true or not?""Better to be a joke than to carry a burden that isn't yours for a lifetime."As Luke spoke, he glanced at his watch.I suddenly remembered that Luke had mentioned a business dinner tonight.I quickly stood up. "I'm sorry, Mr. Walker. I've held you up. Let's go now.""No rush."Luke started walking towards me. As he got closer, my heart began to race like a frightened rabbit.The thunderous beating in my chest kept me rooted to the spot, afraid Luke might hear it.He passed by me and bent down near my desk to pick u
