All Chapters of The Wrong Woman, The Wrong Move: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Isobel's acting was laughable."Did you do that on purpose?" I sneered. Sobbing, she replied, "Sasha, how could you falsely accuse me?" Just then, Sean came back. He was now dressed in an immaculate suit, and I almost couldn't recognize him. After understanding what happened, he turned toward me and said, "Sasha, Izzie didn't mean it. Just let her go, okay?""If you check the footage, you'll find out whether she meant it or not," I answered coldly. Everything felt so horrifyingly familiar. I had decided to brush that incident off for Sean's sake back then, but now that I no longer acknowledged him as my brother, why should I tolerate Isobel's pretentious antics?Realizing that there were surveillance cameras, Isobel panicked. She immediately lowered her head and muttered, "Sasha, does that mean you're still mad at me? I'll buy you another shirt. Please don't be mad at me!"I was baffled. "Sasha has plenty of clothes. It's not like she can't live without this shirt anywa

Knowing he was at fault, Karl rubbed his nose and flashed me a sheepish smile. "I'll give you a massage when we get back. You'll feel better in no time."Just then, my phone rang. Pulling out my phone, I handed my bag to Karl and went to a less crowded spot to answer the call. "Sasha, you finally answered." Ellis' voice came through. Noticing the grievance dripping from her tone, I knew something was off. She had been with me since she graduated. Though she was young, she was resilient—always eager to learn and dedicated to her work. No matter how tough things got, she never cried. "Don't worry," I said gently, comforting her. "Take it easy."Sniffling, Ellis said, "Ever since you left, the company has been a mess. At first, Mr. Carrington listened to us, but after a couple of days, he started meeting with other board members."Ms. Lane and Mrs. Carrington Senior keep showing up at the company under the pretense of bringing him meals. Mrs. Carrington Senior might be your gra

Agnes eyed me skeptically. Isobel, on the other hand, had completely transformed since the last time I saw her. She was draped in gold and silver, having fully integrated into the upper-class lifestyle.Ignoring her pointed comments, I said flatly, "So, how are you going to frame me this time? But before you try anything, you'd better check to see if this place has surveillance cameras. Otherwise, if something does happen, there's no way you can get away."Isobel's expression froze. Glancing around warily, she cleared her throat and said, "Sasha, I'm here to tell you that since you've already taken plenty of money from the company and now have a new business and even Beaugor Villa—which is in a prime location—stop asking Sean for money.""'Izzie's right," Agnes chimed in. "You have more than enough to support yourself, so stop asking Sean for money, will you? And don't worry, I'll ask Sean to keep an eye on your company and make sure things go smoothly for you."Looking unfazed,

I glanced at Karl with a smile. Seeing his helpless expression, I chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Roy."Karl sighed. "Looks like I'm the only one who doesn't fit in here."My first meal with my in-laws was much easier than I had imagined. By the time evening came, I finally felt a weight lift off my shoulders.Setting down a bowl of soup, Karl wrapped his arm around me and said, "See? I wasn't lying?'"More than that, your parents are amazing! If you had told me earlier how easygoing they were, I might've come back with you sooner."He let out a dramatic sigh. "So, it seems like my charm pales in comparison to my parents'.""You're still the best, though," I reassured him, pecking his lips. He smirked. "Now that's more like it."…My new company officially started operating. To quickly build a reputation, I didn't turn down Karl's offer to support. After being rejected several times, he was already in a foul mood. And honestly, I didn't see why I shouldn't take advantage o

On a Friday afternoon, Eleanor called me. "Sasha, I hope I'm not disturbing you."I smiled. "Not at all. I'm not too busy right now anyway."She invited me to go shopping together, which was an excellent way for a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to bond. I quickly texted Karl, asking which clothing brands and what kind of jewelry Eleanor preferred. His response came through almost immediately. After informing Ellis about it, I went to pick up Eleanor before heading to the mall.From the moment I entered the mall, I couldn't shake the feeling of being followed. With the crowd around us, I wasn't sure if I was imagining it. When we reached the fifth floor where all the clothing stores were, Eleanor immediately ushered me into a trendy boutique. "See if there's anything you like," she said warmly.As I was browsing, a voice suddenly rang out from behind me. "Oh my, you're Mrs. Yeager, aren't you?"I turned around to see none other than Agnes and Isobel. They showed up out
