All Chapters of Shattered Trust: The Revenge of a Billionaire's Ex-Wife: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Nicolas walked into the house at exactly seven in the evening. His shirt was rumpled, his face was tired, and his mind was still reeling from all the problems at the office. As he closed the door, the sound of soft steps approached, accompanied by the scent of a perfume that was too sweet for his taste."Nico," Ruby greeted softly, standing nearby with a seductive smile. Her body was clad in a deliberately sheer dress, revealing her curves in all their glory. "You just got home? It's been a long time. I've been waiting for you, you know."Nicolas just sighed softly, looking away. "I'm tired, Ruby. Don't start, please."Ruby leaned further in, placing her hand on Nico's chest, her fingers stroking gently. "Tired? Always tired," Ruby said in an annoyed tone disguised with a smile. "Don't you want to have a little fun with me?"Nicolas shifted his body, avoiding Ruby's touch without a care in the world. "I don't need that right now. I just want to rest."Ruby snorted softly, annoyance st

Celine sat in her study, behind a neatly organized desk with files and an open laptop. Devano stood in front of her, looking at her seriously. There was something in Celine's gaze that he had never seen before-a strong, determined will."So, you really want to do it?" asked Devano, leaning forward slightly, trying to get a deeper understanding of her intentions.Celine nodded firmly. "I'm not messing around, Dev. Wiliam's company must fall into my hands. No matter what." Devano was silent for a moment, hesitating. "Celine... this means we have to play with a pretty risky strategy. Wiliam's company is one of the strongest in the market. And... well, you know who's behind that company."Celine smiled a small, cynical smile. "Who else if not Nicolas? And maybe this is the best way to get back at him for everything he's ever done to me.""Is it really about revenge?" asked Devano, trying to gauge what was really in Celine's heart.Celine sighed, her gaze directed towards the window. "It'

Nicolas began to feel something strange inside him. His body was heating up, and his heart was beating faster than usual. He felt restless, as if there was an urge he couldn't control. Realizing something was wrong, Nicolas tried to control himself. However, Ruby's presence nearby only made the situation worse. The woman, without hesitation, kept getting closer."Nico... you look so hot," Ruby said in a spoiled voice, wrapping her arms around his neck. She touched Nicolas' shoulder, caressed it gently and slowly lowered her hand to his back. "Maybe you need someone to make you feel better?"Nicolas took a deep breath, trying to hold himself together, but the effects of the drug were starting to take over his mind. "Ruby, I... I think you should go now," he replied in a heavy voice, trying not to show the effects of the drugs he had taken without meaning to.Ruby, however, did not give up so easily. She smiled meaningfully, then whispered near Nicolas' ear, "Don't kick me out, Nico. I

In a café, Celine and Devano sat opposite each other, lost in their serious conversation. Celine occasionally looked out the window, making sure no one was listening. But in fact, they were completely unaware of the presence of Ruby, who sat at the table behind them with her head bowed, listening to every word attentively."Devano," Celine began in a low tone, "I want this to remain a secret. Calvin, he doesn't need to know who his real father is."Devano nodded, understanding Celine's point. "But you're sure? Calvin is getting older, and sooner or later, he will definitely ask. That boy is smart, Celine."Celine sighed, then looked down at her coffee cup. "I know. But, for now, let things be like this. I don't want Nico to know about Calviin, especially if he thinks he can take Calvin away from me."Devano looked at Celine with a concerned look on his face. "You're not afraid that Nico will find out one day? I mean, Nico's not someone who's easily fooled. He might suspect something."

At the police station, Celine sat tensely, waiting for the results of the investigation that had just begun. Her mind was filled with the image of Calvin lying helplessly in the hospital. Celine's hands clenched into fists, trying to hold back the anger that burned her every nerve.Before long, a policeman entered with a serious face. "Ms. Celine, we have found evidence that the car that hit your son is registered to a woman named Ruby."Celine was stunned, but her anger soon flared up again. "Ruby? The Ruby that Nicolas has been close to?" she muttered angrily."That's right, Miss. The license plate of the car mentioned by the witness, and after a search, it was indeed registered in Ruby's name. We will immediately detain her for questioning."A few hours later, Ruby was brought into the police station with her hands cuffed. Her face looked cold, expressionless. Her gaze was blank, as if she had no guilt at all.Celine stood up from her chair with unstoppable anger, she stepped close
