All Chapters of The Rejected Ex-wife: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

“Tick-tock, I don’t have all day, woman.” April hissed and Olivia shook in fear. “I w-will work.” She said after what felt like an hour of silence. “Do you think you have the strength to work?” She feigned concern. “You look shabby as is, the last thing I want is for people to misunderstand me and take me for a wicked daughter-in-law.” April’s tone mocked Olivia, who bit her tongue at the sheer disrespect she faced. “I will work. I am stronger than I look.” A smile bloomed on April’s face. “Good.” She turned to the man on her side. “I want her to be in charge of the toilets at the servant's quarters. Ensure that she works out all the free food she has eaten in this house all these days.” “Do you understand?” “Yes, ma.” The man answered to Olivia’s horror. “Good, but get to work cleaning this sitting room in the meantime.” April watched her mother-in-law get up with difficulty, then proceeded to make her way to get the cleaning supplies. After which she returned, gritting as s

It was soon the announcement day and June rented a room with Lucy at a hotel close to the event venue. They were to get their make-up and fit done by the professionals hired. Soon enough, June and Lucy were at the event venue, Just in time for the anniversary of Mr and Mrs Joseph. The area was crowded with reporters and elites were invited for the lovely celebration of their marriage. “It’s such a pity that Mrs Joseph did all of this only to be cheated on by her husband,” Lucy said as she took in the level of preparation and money put into the event. “What a disgrace of a husband.” June felt her heart wrench. She felt caught in the web of things, knowing what she knew and yet unable to tell her. For the past few days since she saw Mr Joseph and figured he wasn’t the picture description of a loyal husband, she wondered what to do. Mrs Joseph was celebrating thirty-five years of marriage with her husband and the last thing she wanted was to take away that feeling from her. She knew

News of the downfall of the Joseph family splattered the news the next day. Mr Joseph was automatically removed from the race for the position of Councilman. The shares he had acquired with Ambrose Corporations were seized, and he was forced to pay damages for soiling the company's name through his scandal. The Ambrose Corporation lawyers were demanding two hundred billion dollars in damage, which is equivalent to his life's worth if he lived an extra seventy years. Coupled with many lawsuits he faced from young ladies who exposed him to be a predator for women in the modelling industry, and allegedly holding materials he used to blackmail them into sleeping with them repeatedly, it was safe to say Mr Joseph's life was over. The Ambrose Corporation also issued a statement cutting all ties with Mrs Joseph’s family. Mrs Cordelia was the eldest daughter of the Baron group, a monopolised oil company that catered to the needs of South City in partnership with Ambrose Corporations. The

Ever since the scandal surrounding JL Architectures, the business has slowed. The number of orders they received trickled to a stop, and soon, June was worried about the lasting impact of Mrs. Joseph’s words at the party. “Do you think we should issue a statement?” Lucy asked thoughtfully. We can’t keep trying to cushion the effects on Mrs Joseph to our detriment. We need to defend ourselves.” June knew that choosing to maintain silence at such a critical time could hurt JL but she couldn’t shake off the guilt she felt at Mrs Joseph's current situation. Following Rafael’s intervention, Mrs Joseph and her family were going through a lot with Mr Joseph’s removal as Councilman, the ongoing divorce and the hit Baron Oil had taken due to the situation. The news was riddled with bad news about the Joseph family - one that increased as the days passed. She hated to add to the situation by re-digging the case and making a public statement with proof that she had been innocent and was the

Evelyn stood by the bedside while April thought about what to do about the situation. April and June’s little fracas was a trending video on the internet. Everyone who followed the sister’s rivalry was taken with the revelation of April’s alleged extramarital affair. Once again, the tides were not on her side. People were beginning to analyse things and June got the longer end of the stick this time.April turned to her mother with flaming eyes. “You caused this! Why would you bring up the child thing?! Did you collude with your daughter to disgrace me?!” Evelyn leaned in shock. “You wanted me to put her on the spot. You asked me to do what I did.” She explained. “I never knew-” “You should have known!” She roared. “I don’t clothe and feed you so you could carry an empty head! Now look at this mess! I asked you to put her on the spot about Ethan’s death and all you did was return me to square one.”Evelyn stuttered, unable to understand how she was to be blamed for the outcome of a
