All Chapters of The Rejected Ex-wife: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

June sat before a vanity table while an artist worked on her make-up, ahead of the night's event. The most anticipated Birthday celebration in the history of North City was going down in the Fernando Estate tonight. It was Liam Fernando's birthday. The estate wore a light atmosphere as they prepared for the guests and events ahead of time. It was only a few hours to the event and though June preferred to spend her time working on the design, Liam asked her to escort him to the party. Despite the excuses on the tip of her tongue, she bit her lip and accepted to be his date at the party. It wasn't like she could say no to her boss. She also found that workers were very hands-on in the preparations and she felt bad having to sit up in her room, doing nothing than her job. Her mother would be disappointed if June spent her time in North City without proof of having a good time-or at least looking like she was having a good time. Her life was a big ball of boring these days, but with th

June wore a tense smile as she stood beside Liam, awaiting the toast. Wine glasses were served to people for the exercise. They were served last. June felt her tension peak as she saw a blond lady carrying two glasses of wine towards them. The woman seemed all too familiar. The lady, dressed in a server's uniform headed towards them with her eyes to the floor and presented the drink by hand. "Happy birthday sir." She handed a glass to Liam. Just then, June felt a bolt hit her when she suddenly remembered where she'd seen the blonde lady. "You..." She muttered, stifled by shock at the woman before her. "Please have a good night." The lady spoke with urgency in her tone. When June delayed to take the drink, Arnold spoke up. "People are waiting." Liam wore a clear countenance as he observed their interactions.June looked at Liam and back at the lady. She shook her head and said, "This drink is poisoned." Liam's eyes narrowed at his drink. "What?"June spoke more firmly. "This dri

Three hours passed and Liam was yet to make a decision. In a bid to find out the poison used on the drink, he visited the server who was not spared from his wrath but locked in a cell of her own. After a 'tough' session with her, it was clear she knew nothing about the poison she used on the drink. A fact that drove him to the brink of insanity. June's condition worsened over time. She had navigated through murky waters and given the doctors a scare, Carson inclusive. What's more? Rafael was outside the Fernando Estate with a convoy and some security officials. His demand was simple - To hand over his wife. Liam was left with the difficult situation of doing his brother's bidding and saving June's life or finding a solution himself. In other cases, he would have easily leaned towards the latter but he couldn't tell if his brother lied or meant it when he said she had three days.June was struggling in the vent. It seemed like she was fighting a battle in her sleep but never opened

Rafael stood in the dark shadows with a hard gaze on the woman who tried to decipher him in the dark. "Who's there? Show yourself!" Right in the dark, he saw her reach to the side, she had a gun. One of the men who watched their interaction from the other end of the fence moved closer. "I asked a question." Rafael stepped out of the shadows. "Who were you talking about just now?""You are not supposed to be here." The woman gritted. "Get out while you can. Liam will have your head." "And what about you?" Rafael asked. "What do you think would happen if he finds you? I'm curious to find out." Before the woman could say a word, one of the men tackled her from behind and she fell to the ground, struggling to reach for her gun. Rafael walked towards the scrambling duo and disarmed her. Soon enough, the woman was held by two strong men while she tried to escape. "What do you want? Name your price! I could get you a lot of money! Let me go!" "Didn't you say they've caught on to you?

Time passed and soon, June was ready to return to work. Her body was stronger and she was eager to round up her stay in North City. Liam employed Carson as the doctor in charge of her recovery and he never let up with sprinkling unsolicited news about Rafael in their conversations. These days, she couldn't ignore his intentional acts of speaking random information to her hearing. The last one got her angry and she reacted. "I don't care about my ex-husband or what he does with his life." "He can get on with any woman if he so pleases. The moment we signed those papers, I was done with him. Enough already." She spoke with fire in her eyes. Carson wore an annoying smile. Unbothered by her anger. "I never said he was with women. I said he was dragged to court by-""I don't want to hear it! Darn. I don't need news of him or what he's up to. I have enough on my plate as is." June said. "Can we have the shot already?" She groaned and Carson smiled. After the poisoning, June was placed
