My Boss, My Husband의 모든 챕터: 챕터 101 - 챕터 110

If it weren't for my facade, I'd be laughing hysterically at all the hypocrisy around me. That's why I completely understood the look of confusion on Jenna's face and how she must be whispering the truth of the gossip to Derek. I had to say, however, the sheer envy and frustration on Amanda's face were too obvious for me to not feel satisfied. After all, Serge hadn't given her such a passionate speech at her own wedding. "I've watched you grow into a strong, determined, and tenacious woman. From now on, you'll both face new challenges and experiences, and you'll have my absolute support through it all. To the two of you!" my father finishes, raising his glass, and the rest follow suit. As we clinked our glasses and started to drink, Amanda's voice cut through the atmosphere. "I'd like to add a few more words!" she practically shouted. The guests turned, waiting for what she was about to say. A knot tightened in my chest, and I dreaded whatever might come next, especially wit

He laughed as we reached the room. I headed straight to the bathroom, just like I said, closing the door behind me, relieved to finally have a toilet within reach. But as I tried to bend over and gather my dress to pull up the skirt, I couldn't.I tried again, this time from the side, reaching down to grab the hem of my wedding dress. Still no luck. The corset and structure of the dress prevented me from bending the way I needed to. At another time, I might've thought of a creative way to get out of the dress to pee, but right now? Not a chance. I gave up and cracked the door open slightly."Could you help me lift my dress? I can't do it by myself, and I really need to pee," I asked, feeling a bit embarrassed.Lucius looked at me, surprised for a moment before amusement filled his face. He stepped toward me and knelt. His hands began lifting the skirt, and I couldn't say it was great for my emotional stability. His hands on my legs, the predator-like gleam in his eyes—it was not a g

Unfortunately, Jenna's warnings turned out to be true. That was what I was witnessing now as I saw Liam and my father punching each other in the middle of the hall. Both of them looked terrible—there was blood on Serge's shirt and Liam's nose. The rest of the guests were standing back, alarmed by the scene, except for a few.Lucia, Clara, and Leah were busy ushering the children out of the room while Amelia was just sitting in a chair, pale and unresponsive. She didn't do anything, not even throwing a glance at the fight that was likely happening because of her. I didn't even need to mention the mortified looks on Andrew's parents' faces or Andrew's own discomfort nor the desperation of Amanda, who was begging her mother to react, but Amelia remained unmoved.Before they could exchange another round of punches or knock over more of the hotel's dinnerware, some of which had already been smashed on the nearby table, Lennon and now Lucius stepped in to break them apart. Lennon grabbed h

"You need to calm down. Lucius is married to me. Fairmount Corporation is in good hands," I assured him."Are you stupid or just pretending?" Amelia sneered cruelly. "The Brown family will tear us apart, down to the very foundations.""They won't. I'm Lucius's wife. Why would he destroy his in-laws' company? The one he's invested so much money in? You're the one not thinking straight, Amelia.""Our company means nothing to them… nothing!" Amelia insisted."You're being just as short-sighted," I accused, turning to Serge with confidence. "I'll apply to be CEO. I've performed well, I'm married to him, and in a few years, when he steps down, he'll pass it on to me. I'll work myself to the bone if I have to. I won't let Fairmount Corporation fall."Serge grasped my hands, using them to steady his head. I felt him trembling, full of fear and desperation. The same fear and desperation that was starting to creep into me."I've seen it for myself. You are stupid and naive. Everything tho

"Not here, but in Cameria. My daughter lives here. She works in construction," Maria answered smoothly.Marianne studied Maria's face carefully, clearly not buying the explanation right away. But eventually, she seemed to accept it."Construction? Could it be in the annex projects that Fairmount Corporation is working on? I've been overseeing that site, and… I think I've seen your daughter. She looks a lot like you but with… blonde hair? Am I wrong?"Without knowing it, Marianne had hit a nerve. Maria's face betrayed her, showing she had been caught. Of course, she had. She had made two rookie mistakes despite her years of experience: never underestimate your target, and never engage directly with them.In her plan, Marianne wasn't supposed to have overheard us or been this curious. Maria had only come to warn me that I shouldn't have gotten married, but at this point, I didn't give a damn about her opinions. My marriage had gone exactly as I planned."She must be the one," Maria
