All Chapters of Return of the Heiress: I married my ex-husband's brother: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

The launch of “Elara”, Pristine Enterprise’s first jewelry line under Elena's leadership, was finally live.The ballroom of the most luxurious hotel in Country C was transformed into an ethereal fairy tale.The venue was filled with anticipation, as every seat had been claimed by the crème de la crème of society.As the lights dimmed, an enchanting melody filled the hall.A hush fell over the crowd.One by one, models glided down the runway, each adorned in pieces that were nothing short of masterpieces.Necklaces, earrings, and bracelets sparkled like constellations, dazzling the audience with their brilliance.But the true highlight of the evening came with the showstopper piece, a jewelry set aptly named ‘The Rising Phoenix’.Gasps filled the hall as the last model took the stage.Cameras flashed incessantly, capturing every angle of the masterpiece.Every piece in this collection was crafted with the finest gemstone.The vibrant reds, fiery oranges, and shimmering golds within the

Chloe cradled the toddler, rocking back and forth in her arms, but nothing worked.The baby’s cries filled the space, and it was now beginning to annoy her.She was exhausted, physically and emotionally, and this wasn’t helping.Andrew was more direct.He was already in a bad mood and the non-stop cries made his anger explode.“Can’t you make her stop?” he snapped.Once again, Chloe tried to hush her daughter.But the child’s wails continued, and Andrew’s irritation deepened. “Why did you even bring her?” he hissed.Chloe finally looked at him, her eyes revealing a hint of exhaustion. “And who would’ve looked after her back home? You think we have the luxury of nannies anymore?”The little girl’s face was bright red, her small features scrunched up in discomfort.But as a first-time mother, Chloe did not know what was wrong with her daughter.What was worse was she did not try to find out, either.“Both of you are nothing but a liability,” Andrew spat, his voice dripping with venom. “

“All this time, I thought you’d be miserable without me. But I didn’t expect you to actually be… sponsored by a sugar daddy.” Andrew scoffed, the disgust in his voice apparent.“If all you wanted was to be a mistress, then what was wrong with being with me? Do you think I couldn’t provide you?”Hearing his ridiculous words, Elena was so angry that she vomited blood.But before she could respond, a sweet voice interrupted her.“You’re focusing on the wrong thing, Andrew,” Chloe looked at her husband.Then, she turned to Elena with a smile that was anything but friendly. “Since you’ve latched on to someone powerful, why don’t you use that to help our company? On account of the friendship we’ve shared before, you can surely do that, right?”Andrew’s face lit up.He turned to Elena promptly and said. “She’s right! You should talk to him. Convince your sugar daddy to invest in the Elliot Corporation. This is the perfect chance to redeem yourself.”Elena stared at him before a sharp laugh e

In a violent motion, Andrew grabbed Chloe by the hair.His fingers dug into her scalp with a force that made her stumble back.“Ah!” Chloe screamed in agony as her head was yanked backward.“Bitch, how dare you cheat on me?!” Andrew roared angrily.His grip tightened, and he swung another slap on her face.Chloe desperately tried to break free from Andrew’s hold.She could feel her scalp burning from the pressure.“Andrew, please!” Her voice was trembling with fear. “Let me go!”But Andrew wasn’t listening.He seemed to have been consumed with madness and wouldn’t stop.Seeing the chaos unfolding before him, Lucas instinctively moved in front of Elena, shielding her behind him.With a snap of his fingers, he called the security over.The security guards quickly pulled them apart before subduing them.“Get your hands off me!” Andrew shouted, struggling against the guards.Chloe felt dizzy from the hits, and her face was now red and swollen.The guards held her firmly and dragged the co

Lucas lit another cigarette and took a drag.“If she’s lucky, a good family will adopt her. If not, she’ll stay at the orphanage and live a decent life there.”Whatever it was, it’d be better than living with these two.“Understood.” Knox nodded before leaving.Meanwhile, the echo of Andrew’s groan continued to fill the space.“Bring him over,” Lucas ordered.With a cruel jerk, a bodyguard grabbed Andrew by the hair.Andrew let out a strangled cry of pain.Like a broken puppet, he was dragged across the cold pavement.The guard yanked Andrew’s head back, forcing him to look up as he fell to his knees.Lucas took the sight before him.The sight of Andrew, bloody and injured, was immensely satisfying to see.“Is that enough for you to remember now?” Lucas asked, his voice soft but laced with contempt.Andrew’s lips trembled.He was in so much pain that he couldn’t respond, even if he wanted to.“You know, if you hadn’t crossed the line, perhaps your ending might have been different.” Lu
