All Chapters of No Longer Yours, Ex Husband: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

[Sasha]“What? Nothing to say for yourself?” I sneer, savoring the look on her face. “God, Vivienne. You’re so shameless. How do you even live with yourself? Aren’t you tired of lying, deceiving, and tricking your way through life? When will you learn some goddamn dignity?”She tilts her head to the side, as if nothing I said bothered her in the slightest. As if she’s somehow above all this. But she’s not. She’s just pretending not to care, probably because that’s all she can do to deny the truth. But I’m not lying, am I? That’s why she has nothing to say. I’ve finally shut her up for good.Mr. Yardley, however, doesn’t look very happy. And he shouldn’t be. That’s the whole point, right? He needs to know the truth, and as Daddy says, the truth always hurts.He must have trusted her too much to feel anything but betrayed.He leans forward on the table and glares. When he opens his mouth, his words are calm yet restrained. “Thank you, Ms. Clarkson. You’ve finally opened my eyes to just

[Sasha]Arthur’s face goes pale—well, paler than it already is under all the bruises. He tries to sit up, but between his broken arm and leg, he’s not going anywhere.“Who the hell are you?” I demand, stepping between him and this…mountain of a man.His grin only widens, like he’s enjoying the little show.The guy chuckles, slow and low. “Oh, I’m just here to check in on my good friend Arthur. See, he’s been a little behind on some promises he made to me and my associates. Thought it’d be polite to come by and see if maybe, finally, he’s ready to settle up.”Dad’s face hardens, but I can see his hands shake. “Look, whoever you are, we’ll pay back whatever he owes. Just—leave my son alone.”The guy looks at Dad with a mix of pity and amusement. “Oh, isn’t that touching. Daddy swoops in to save his little screw-up. But see, here’s the thing—your boy didn’t just borrow money. He took it, gambled it, and lost, over and over. And we’re not exactly a bank that lets you pay whenever you feel

“What?” Agnes Lawrence sounds surprised. “How can he do that? And without even discussing it with us? Now, how are we supposed to help this poor girl?”My heart sinks deep into my stomach. They can’t be serious. I need this money. And I need it now.“Mom?” More tears spill from my eyes. “What are we going to do now?”Mr. Lawrence looks frustrated. “I don’t know what he was thinking. But the truth is, without his approval, we can’t access that money. And that means we can’t help you, child. We are very sorry.”Shit. No. I can’t accept no for an answer.“But my dad… he’ll die if he doesn’t get his surgery. Mom?” I turn to this stupid woman. “Please, don’t say no. You’re my only hope. Please, don’t leave me alone in this.”Agnes looks torn, her face a mask of concern. “Sasha, I wish there was something more I could do,” she says. “You know how complicated these things can be.”I shake my head. “Complicated? My dad is dying! Complicated is not an option right now!”“Calm down, dear,” Mr.

[Sasha]I hate him. Hate that he’s right.I did all of this, went through every humiliating step, so Caden would finally marry me. But that bastard—after everything I’ve done, everything I’ve put myself through—hasn’t even mentioned marriage. Not even a damn engagement.I scowl, clenching my hands into fists at my sides. “Well, it’s not my fault your family’s dumb as fuck.”Samuel’s smirk widens. “Oh, you couldn’t be more wrong,” he says, turning around and plopping down on the dingy couch. “They’re not dumb, Sasha. They’re the exact opposite. Why else do you think they handed over the entire business to Caden, knowing full well he isn’t even their real son?”My eyes widen, and my breath catches.“Wait a second. What?”He arches a brow, feigning surprise. “What? You didn’t know? Oops!”There’s no way I could have missed this. “When were you planning to tell me all this? How—I mean—what? How is that even possible? I’ve never heard of this before.”“You didn’t?” He swirls his tongue aro

[Vivienne]“We need to destroy that woman,” Theo grunts for the thousandth time as we sit at a fine restaurant, waiting for my brother to arrive.I shake my head. “We need to relax. Especially you. No offense, but you’ve been pretty wound up ever since that meeting.”His gaze sharpens as he looks at me. “And I have a damn good reason to be. Did you see the way she talked about you? I’ve never seen such a vile woman in my life. What does she even think of herself? That she can just waltz in and insult you? Well, I’m going to teach her a lesson, that’s for sure. Just wait until Harvey gets here. I’ve already briefed him on everything, and he assured me that we’re not going to let this go.”I rub my head, deciding it’s not worth trying to reason with him—or Harvey, if Theo really told him everything. My brother can be incredibly stubborn when he wants to be. And with family being the most important thing to him, he definitely isn’t going to let this slide.“Fine, fine. Do whatever please
