All Chapters of Resisting My Ex-Bully: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

JOSIEThe moment Killian told me Gunner got the evidence we needed, I almost cried in relief. It was like the most important piece of the puzzle, and we finally had it. The next day, Gunner contacted his friends at the FBI, and the wheels were put into motion.Soon. That one word rang in my head. It was supposed to bring hope, but it also carried a great load of restlessness. The what-ifs swirled in my mind. After everything Killian and I had been through, getting that recording from the informant seemed suspiciously effortless. Of course, I might have been just paranoid, or I had grown too bitter and pessimistic to accept our luck. But I couldn't help it. There was an urgency within me—a need to know more, to be prepared for everything that Yan Hao might use against us.I hadn't slept for three days working on the Eye. I had used Tony's knowledge and contacts to buy the necessary equipment. Of course, my shopping had made him curious beyond the limits of sanity. He had spent a few ho

JOSIE“Yan Hao was arrested.”It took me more than a minute to acknowledge Killian's words. A relief relaxed the long-coiling tension deep inside me. It slowly traveled to every inch of me, erupting into tendrils of joy. I laughed. For the first time in weeks, I let myself laugh. A few tears followed, and then my body began to rattle, as if all the restlessness inside me tried to escape me at once.“I… I don't know what to say,” I breathed out finally. “You promised it will be over soon... and that's happening, right?” Another laugh escaped me, but Killian remained silent.“Well… it's not over yet,” he said after a moment, his voice grim.Some of the tension in my chest returned. “Do you think he can somehow get away with it?”Killian let out a long sigh. “Agent Brooks claims that the prosecution will need an excellent face recognition program and a specialist who can testify in court.”My heart lurched and my lips twitched into a smug smile. “I can give them the program Kei and I cre

I heard Josie weep over the phone after I had told her that Yan Hao would stay in prison—the sound of relief. Surely, she denied that she had even shed one tear, and I pretended to believe her. The eruption of her emotions was natural. I knew she was tired; we all were. We also knew that sending Yan Hao to prison wasn't going to clear up the fucked-up situation we were in. It was the first step—a huge step, a crucial step, but one merely marking the beginning of a long road.“If Yan Hao has been locked... does it mean my exile is over?” A nervous laugh laced her voice.“Well… his army might still lurk around,” I said. “But if you follow Gunner's instructions, I'm sure you can at least come to New York... and stay in the penthouse.”“Are you inviting me to your apartment, Mr. Blair?” she purred, and my lips instantly stretched into a mischievous grin.“Our apartment,” I corrected. “Unless you'd like something... bigger. I'm sure that my mother would welcome you in the residence.”She g

JOSIESomething was wrong. I couldn't explain why I felt this way, but I could taste the danger in every breath I took. I had been supposed to meet David Scott the previous day, but he hadn't shown up. I had been sitting in a café he had picked, swearing it was a safe place to meet. I had spent over an hour waiting. I had tried to call him a few times. I had texted him. And even now, as I was on the way to New York, I still had no answer from him…Leo stepped on the gas. We were halfway through, and my nerves were reaching their peak. Knowing that talking to my driver-slash-bodyguard would not help, I pulled out my laptop, half-hoping working would do the trick.“Calm down, Josie,” I murmured to myself, placing the computer on my lap and entering our system. With more and more systems plugged into the Eye, we could now scan through more than ten states. Every day, more potential targets were added, and we kept sending Gunner alerts, informing him whether Yan Hao's minions had been doi

I was pregnant. I was carrying Killian's child. My body began to shiver, and all my fears began to crawl out to the surface. My hands slid down to my belly, knowing that there was this tiny living thing growing inside me—something I needed to protect. My chest tightened. How was I going to protect it if I didn't know how to protect myself?The doctor walked out of the room, and Adeline and Ashley sat on both sides of my bed, staring at me as if I had just turned into an alien. “You carry my grandchild,” Adeline finally whispered.I looked at her and saw a face filled with emotions, so unlike the women I had met months ago. Her eyes coated with tears, and her trembling lips curved into a warm smile. My own eyes filled with tears too as I said a little hoarsely, “I guess I am.”“Are you OK?” Ashley's eyes filled with worry. “Did you suspect something before? Do you have morning sickness?”I shook my head. “Maybe I should consider myself lucky, but I didn't notice any symptoms... Maybe t
