All Chapters of The wedding of revenge: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

“Hello, Cole.” Nora greeted, standing in front of detective Joe with an awkward smile on her face.Cole raised his head up from his desk, meeting her eyes with displeasure on his face. “I can’t see ‘it’s nice seeing you’ because that would be considered lying, Miss Gray.” He spat out coldly. Nora swallowed the lump on the throat. How was she supposed to get through him again? She thought bitterly.“And here I thought lying was part of your special skills?” She retorted sharply, before she could even stop herself. You are supposed to convince him, not anger him! She scolded herself internally.Cole chuckled, unfazed by the attack. “ And it seems stalking me around is your special skill?” He shot back, raising his brow in question.“I’m not—“ She began but bite her tongue, cutting herself off. “Can we talk?” She asked in a soft tone. Cole’s eyes glimmered, the corner of his lips curling up in a mocking smile. “I made it clear to you the last time already, Miss Gray. I don’t like you.

The media sparked with news of the former CEO of Blackwood company arrest for embezzlement of funds, and allegations of fraud. It was the headline news on every broadcasting channel, and whispers of it were around the crowd with multiple opinions regarding the arrest.“How did your father allow himself to get arrested?” Claudia snapped with anger written on her face as watched the news.“Do you think that’s the most important at the moment, mother?” Evelyn shoot back, fumbling with her. “What is more important then, Evelyn? Your father should have known better than to walk around smugly without covering up his mess.” She argued bitterly.The family were equally finding out about Mathias arrest through the news. After informing them he was going to visit a business associate, they hadn’t expected him to show up on news hours later.Julian sat by the corner with a smug grin on his face. They were finally beginning to get what they deserve!“Mother, stop already.” Evelyn stated curtly,

“What are you doing here?” Claudia’s tone came off harsh, as she stared at Mathias in front of the door. They had laid off staffs because they couldn’t afford such luxury anymore. “This is my house, Claudia.” He snapped, pushing her out of the way, and walking into the house. He was released today, after his lawyer had managed to come up with the money. “When were you released?” She asked in near anger, shutting the doors and following him. “So you did know I was arrested, yet you didn’t bother to coming?” Mathias snarled. Originally he believed they weren’t aware, but it was almost impossible when the news of his arrest was everywhere, yet he forced himself to believe otherwise. “Of what use was it?” Claudia spat out, no longer hiding her emotions. “You’re back, father.” Evelyn beamed, walking into the living room. Mathias sent her a cold stare raising his hand up as she tried to embrace him. “Don’t you dare father me, Evelyn.” She swallowed, flinching away from him. She had n

“So the buyer is coming today to see the house.” Mathias announced in a light tone. Evelyn and Claudia’s hummed in response, the sadness on their faces was clear. It still felt surreal that they had really crumbled to that level, and worst to the point of even selling their house to get extra cash.“You are both quiet.” He said, sitting on the couch. “What do you expect me to say, Mathias?” Claudia spat in a harsh tone, “Am I supposed to be happy with the way things are going with us now?” If Mathias were to hold grudges against them for how the treated him when he was in jail,then he would have thrown them out. But he considered them his family which is why he let it go.“We aren’t as broke as you make us out to be, Claudia.” Mathias tried to convince himself than her. “Really, Mathias? We had cars in this house, but what happened to them huh?” She questioned sarcastically. “We sold everything.” Evelyn responded in a gloomy tone. “Exactly, Mathias. We sold everything to clear u

Evelyn shuffled through the drawer, hissing in anger when she found nothing—She was out of cash. It has been ten days since she fled in panic after nearly killing Kaira. Ten days of searching for her endlessly. She was laying low in a small motel because she knew the cops were after her. Her parents had been arrested and she was declared wanted. Thankfully, the motel manager didn’t recognize her as the same person trending on news and she was extra careful not to be caught. Evelyn had resulted to pickpocketing to stay alive and yes she hated her current condition, but she couldn’t do much about it. She needed to stay alive. She reached for her phone, scrolling through her contact and pausing at Julian’s name. She bite her lips, contemplating if to call or not. He was the only one who could help her right now, after all they were in same side. Without much thinking, she dialed the line, tapping her feet as she waited patient for him to pick the call. “Evelyn?” Hi
