Chapter 86Heads turned toward the direction, and Olivia emerged, her expression calm, but her eyes burning with resentment as they fell right away on James.She was putting on a knee-length skirt and a tailored button-down shirt, her figure radiating beauty. Her face was covered with light makeup, her lips smooth with an applied orange lipstick.A man gasped, stunned. “She's his wife? She looks so beautiful. I can't believe this!" He shook his head. Another tried to wrap his head around. “A bastard having such a beautiful lady as his wife and she agreed to stay with him? That's weird.” Another said in disbelief, everything in him—soul, mind, and spirit—all fixed on Olivia as if he'd be the better person for her. “I can't believe this as well," he mumbled, his voice hardly above a whisper. He paused, processing everything very well. Then he added after a minute. “He must have cast a spell on her, exploiting her.” One person nodded in agreement. “That's right." His gaze flicked to
Chapter 85: Olivia Stands up for Her Husband
Chapter 85 The room fell silent. The mockery halted. All gazes on James. Charles’ pleasing smirk faltered. His body stiffened. James didn't flinch, his sharp, cold gaze scanning everyone's faces as if daring them to speak. “I own this place, and if any one of you dares continue with your belittling words, I'll throw you out, or you won't like what might happen to you. Try me.” His words came out cold, almost threatening. No one spoke. Everyone exchanged glances, blinking with confusion, some of them slightly scared because of James' confidence. James fixed his gaze on Charles, nodding his head, silently urging him to dare. But Charles couldn't speak at that moment. For some time, he felt some seriousness in James' words….the boldness he hadn't witnessed in him before. He just swallowed hard, observing. However, a headstrong one among the crowd, trying to show his arrogance, stepped forward, uttering, “I know people like you….” he said, pointing an accusing fi

Chapter 84As James walked downstairs, staring at the environment, not believing he'd control all of this once his father was out of the country. His mind was occupied with thoughts of everything.And without knowing—He clashed with a figure. Bang!The figure staggered backward, but quickly regained his pose. His nostrils flared up with rage as he glared at the figure that had collided with him. “You bastard! Were you blind to see me coming?” He growled.James turned to apologize, but before he could, the figure had already seized him, grabbing him by the collar. His gaze sharpened by the swift action.However, realization hit him as he took in the figure. It was Charles—Mary’s boyfriend—whom he had met last night, and they had coincidentally checked into the same hotel.Charles paused as he recognized James too. “....Oh, it's you. Would have known it's a bastard like you who doesn't watch where they're going.” He pushed James back roughly.James held himself and reluctantly stra

Chapter 83The next morning, Olivia was already dressed with her small purse hanging around her shoulder. She examined herself properly in the mirror before heading downstairs.As she stepped down, her family members—her Grandma, Aurora, and her father, Leonard—were seated in the living room having a conversation.She walked further and greeted. “Good morning, Granny. Good morning, Dad." Grandma Aurora raised an eyebrow. “You're dressed up?" She checked the time and asked in surprise. “This is just after eight. Where are you going?" Leonard also looked at her, curiosity in his eyes as he anticipated Olivia's answer.Olivia adjusted her purse, exhaling slightly. Just as she was about to respond, Evelyn, her mother, walked out of the kitchen, joining them in the room.Surprised, she asked. “Olivia, you're going out already? Won't you have some breakfast? I'm already preparing something in the kitchen.”"Good morning, Mum,” Olivia responded before a sigh escaped her lips. Shaking her h

“No, this is real,” James muttered, snapping himself out of his thousand thoughts. “It isn't some fantasy. It's really happening.” He nodded firmly, glancing around. Although he knew everything was really happening, he still expressed a bit of doubt. “Can't believe I'll be handling all of these one day. But look at me today, I'll start handling companies worth billions. Hmm…” He exhaled, slowly going lost in thoughts again. Before he could be swallowed by his deep thoughts, his phone buzzed up for an incoming call. Snapped out, he reluctantly pressed the answer button. “Hello, James. Where are you?” Olivia asked, her voice low, seemingly half awake. “It's already too late and you aren't back home.” James sighed slightly. And a faint smirk escaped his lips. “Really?” He exclaimed, his voice calm but bitter. “Why are you asking like you truly care?” Olivia scoffed. “And who told you I do?” Her voice raised with sharpness, cutting the air like a sharpened blade. “I don't give

James sat up slowly. He exhaled, shaking his head slightly. “No, Dad,” he responded, his voice firm. He didn't want to bother him with his family issues. “I just decided to lodge in for the night. Everything is fine. No quarrel at all.” Thomas looked at him. “Are you sure of what you are saying?” He asked, skeptical. “The last time we met I heard how she talked to you over the phone. If anything is going on, please, let me know.” He locked his eyes into James'. “You have everything any woman could ask for, what else does she want from you?”James swallowed hard, his face paled. “Not really, Dad,” he said, “she believes I'm poor. That's what I created in them. Never revealed my wealth to them.”“And because of that, she treats you like trash?” Thomas frowned, and his grin disappeared.James couldn't speak right away. Hesitatingly, he replied calmly but firmly. “Yes. There's this guy, his name is Joshua Arthur. He's trying to create some kind of hatred in her toward me.”Thomas blinke
