Mummy, We Found Our Billionaire Daddy: The Ex-wife's Revenge のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Jess's POV: "Why are we all just sitting here? Some of us have businesses to run. My store hasn’t even opened yet, and here I am, wasting time, waiting for our dear princess " Martha grumbles, her face twisting into an annoyed scowl. "I’m sure she’ll waltz in soon," another mutters. "But if I were you, I’d watch what I say. You know how she gets—bossy and unbearable if we don’t shower her with attention. She’ll throw one of her famous tantrums and act like she’s better than us. What a stuck-up b*tch" I stand back, peeking through the door and listening, barely hiding my smirk. These girls? I used to call them friends. Honestly, it’s no surprise they feel that way about me. I’ve never felt a real connection with any of them, anyways. They’ve always been more like... tools. Useful when I need a dirty job done. Nothing more. At least I had the sense to choose a private room for this lunch. Let them grumble all they want. "If it weren’t for her husband, she’d be nothing. H

Angela’s Pov: There’s something off about Selene this morning. She’s not her usual bubbly self. Instead, she looks moody, distant—like something important has been taken from her. I can’t stand seeing her like this. I’ve been with Selene for years now. She’s like a daughter to me, someone I love and cherish deeply. Ever since I rescued her that day, everything in my life has changed. Despite being a stranger, I never doubted her for a second. I’ve watched her grow, become part of my family, and give me grandchildren. But for the past few weeks, there’s been this gloom around her. Whenever I ask what’s wrong, she just shuts down. I can’t help but wonder if it’s because her children have started pestering her about their biological father. I knew this day would come, that they’d grow curious about the man who brought them into the world, but I didn’t expect it to be so soon. I’ve watched her over the years, and the once joyful girl I knew is gone. In her place is someone fi

Jess’s POV I can’t sit still. My heart’s pounding, and the nerves are crawling under my skin like ants. The last time I felt this way, I was about to marry Maximus. Back then, I was suffocating, too young to be tied down, and I ran. I don’t want to think about why I really ran—it’s not worth it. But right now, something’s off. Maximus has been acting strange for weeks, and I’ve been ignoring it, chalking it up to stress or whatever else he wanted to blame. But now I know why. Selene’s back. After all this time, she’s here. The thought of it makes my stomach turn. He’s still fixated on her, still staring at her pictures like he’s never stopped. I can’t believe it. How many years has it been? And yet here we are, her shadow still hanging over everything. It’s like all the old feelings I buried are resurfacing, and I can’t shake the jealousy gnawing at me. She left him once. Why does he still care? Why does it feel like I’m always second to her in his eyes? It doesn’t feel l

Selene’s POV “Let’s have a girls’ night out at the bar. Who knows, maybe you’ll meet some charming, interesting guy to spend the night with. Honestly, Andrea, I’m starting to worry about your sex life.” I pinch the bridge of my nose, resisting the urge to groan. If I didn’t already know Avery, I’d never believe she’s a doctor. All she ever talks about is her patients and, well, sex. It’s like those are her only two topics of conversation. Sometimes, I honestly wonder why we’re even friends. We couldn’t be more different if we tried. I can only imagine how she’d react if she found out I have two kids—and that I was once married to Maximus Hemsworth. She’d probably scream so loud my ears would never recover. “You don’t need to worry about my sex life,” I mutter, throwing her a sidelong glance. “And for the hundredth time, I’m not wasting my Friday night in some run-down bar. I have other priorities, Avery, and trust me, clubbing isn’t one of them.” I take her hands in mine,

Maximus’ Pov: I swear, I’m going to punch Raymond the next time I see him. Why the hell did he tell Jess I was at the office when I wasn’t? Was that the best excuse he could come up with? Now she’s following me around the house like I’m some kind of criminal, nagging in my ear every second. Honestly, this is all my fault. If I hadn’t divorced Selene, I wouldn’t be stuck with Jess and all her damn paranoia. She’s even worse than my father ever was. At least I don’t have to live with that old man anymore. But now, I’m stuck with Jess. I can’t divorce her, though. I can’t do that to my daughter. I don’t want her to grow up in a divided home. It’s already hard enough. She’s missing me so much, and it tears me up. Jess’s constant pressure is the reason I don’t come home on time anymore. By the time I do make it back, my daughter’s already asleep. "I want him fired. He disrespected me." Jess grumbles for what feels like the hundredth time. "He lied to me and made a fool out
