All Chapters of The CEO's Amazing Ex-Wife Is Back!: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

The sound of children’s laughter floated through the air as they ran and chased each other around.“Children, I told you to stop running around,” the event organizer, who was the owner of the foundation, chastised. But his words fell on deaf ears as the children continued to play.One of the children was so excited that he didn’t realize someone was approaching until he crashed into the person.It was Linda, who immediately had a scowl on her face. Opening her mouth to say something scathing, she stopped herself when she realized the number of people present who were all staring at her for her reaction.Immediately, she put on a smile and crouched a bit, patting the boy on the cheek. “Careful, boy. We don’t want you getting hurt.”Kris watched on with an approving smile, but he wasn’t the only one who’d accompanied his mother. Karen, his siblings, and his aunt had also come along.“Mrs. Miller, you came!” the event organizer exclaimed in surprise as he approached them. “The Miller fam

“Mum, what have you done?”“How can you buy that ridiculous painting for that amount?”While the other family members chastised Linda, Kris only fumed silently as he stared at Thalassa. Ironically, he felt more upset about her being so close to Zeke than about his mother losing such a large amount of money.“Mrs. Miller, the foundation cannot even begin to express how grateful we are for your immense generosity,” the organizer said. “Please, I believe we would all like to hear a word from you.”Everyone was staring at her, so Linda plastered a smile on her face even though she felt like crying. She got up and walked to the stage. She knew she could withdraw her bid, but if she did, she would be even more humiliated.Forcing an even wider smile, she began speaking. “Ladies and gentlemen, this donation is from the heart. There’s nothing more important than these children. I’m glad that I’ve made the biggest donation, which can go a long way to support them.”Thalassa rolled her eyes. Tr

Kris was so upset that the veins in his neck were popping from how hard he was clenching his fists.“Brother...Kris, I was just putting this bitch in her pla—”“Shut up, Susan,” Kris hissed, staring daggers at his sister. “Is it true? Everything you just said?”He felt so conflicted. Was this truly how his family had treated Thalassa three years ago? He’d known his family didn’t like her, especially his mother, but had it been that bad?“Kris, she attacked Mum in the organizer’s office. Look what she did,” Susan said, taking his mother’s hand to show the red marks on her wrist.“Just answer my question,” Kris gritted out, his anger and anxious need for an answer overshadowing his worry for his mother.Susan didn’t speak. Instead, it was Thalassa. “Why are you so surprised by what you just heard, Kris? How else did you expect them to treat me when you never treated me with respect?”Thalassa scoffed as she turned to Susan. “And you, what did you think you were going to achieve by bring

On the other side of the city, the Millers weren’t in the best of moods by the time they arrived home. Susan was the most upset, immediately storming up the stairs to go to her room. Tyler followed shortly.“See how upset you’ve made Susan? You treated her—us—like we were strangers while you defended that woman,” his mother accused.“Mum, what Susan did was uncalled for,” Kris pointed out, his mood souring further.“Uncalled for?” His mother stared at him in disbelief. “Even after that woma attacked me in the organizer’s office and said she would help them sue and disgrace me?”“What you did wasn’t right either, Mum. What were you thinking, trying to use threats to withdraw your bid?”“But how do you expect me to pay that amount for that ridiculous painting?”“Then you shouldn’t have bid for it, Mum,” Kris snapped, much sharper than he’d intended to.Seeing the hurt look on his mother’s face, he let out a sigh. “I’m sorry, Mum, but it’s the truth.”Karen stepped forward. “But it was T

When the hug went on for too long, Thalassa shifted, which finally made Clark break the hug. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry if I’m acting all clingy,” he immediately apologized. “It’s just that I’m really happy to see you again.”“You weren’t exactly happy with me the last time we talked,” Thalassa recalled, adjusting herself in her seat.Clark cringed. “I was a bit of an ass, wasn’t I?” He chuckled lightly. “Well, to my credit, you’d just told me that you were going to choose Kris over me because he was the one you loved and not me. That really hurt.”Confusion marred his face. “Only for me to hear just a few minutes ago that the two of you aren’t together anymore. What happened?”Thalassa gave him a hard smile. “Am I really supposed to believe that Kris hasn’t already told you what happened or that you never heard it on the news?”He shook his head. “No, he refused to tell me anything. As for the news, I returned to Europe a few months after your rejection. I’ve been there all this time
