The Billionaire's Ugly Wife 46|Counterattack
News of their wedding filled all the media. The press conference paved the way for them to be together. The venue chosen for the wedding was very grand. As if to insult me, they selected another florist for the bouquet and decorations. Every media outlet didn't forget to mention my name as the ruiner of their wedding when reporting the happy news. They deliberately mocked me to let me realize that my efforts to separate them ended in vain. I didn't know how long things would stay like this. "What do you mean?" asked Faye, confused. "They can't keep doing this, Faye. I have to take responsibility as their superior. I'd better let them go now before no one accepts them as employees," I explained. "It's only been two weeks, Heather. None of the employees have complained. Why do you think we don't like being able to get out of the office once in a while?" consoled Faye. "Look, our income is stable. You just need to hold on until things get better." "It's not going to get better, Faye.

I woke up that morning with a heavy head. Looking at the scene in the parking lot, I lost my enthusiasm for the day. Last night's video didn't help me escape the reporters' pursuit. I couldn't sleep because I was thinking of ways to restore my good name.I couldn't waste money paying someone to hack into Darcy's phone. My shop wasn't free from critical condition yet, so I needed every penny in my savings. I needed to prepare severance pay, in case I had to close the shop and let all the employees go.Remembering the Cabot Hotel shares I had, I sighed softly. Should I sell it to Blaze? Maybe he'd still be willing to buy it at a high price. No, no. I couldn't do that. It was my weapon to get away from him.My cell phone on the nightstand vibrated, and I approached it. There was Taylor's name on the screen. "Yes?""I sent you a link. Read it immediately. Now." She ended the call without waiting for my response.I stared at my phone screen in confusion. I saw a new message on one of the m
The Billionaire's Ugly Wife 48|His Confession
"Good morning, Miss Bailey!" greeted the employee who passed me with respect."Good morning," I replied.The atmosphere of the store slowly returned to normal. Those who had been unable to smile or greet me for the past two weeks were acting differently this morning. Those three videos helped restore their confidence. I found out that my problems were affecting them, too.My shop was not out of critical condition yet, but none of the employees complained about not working behind the counter. They were all cheerfully carrying flowers to sell to passers-by. If the reporters weren't following me, I'd want to do sales with them.I glanced at my phone screen. It was strange. Taylor sent a message in the morning, but by the time I got to work, there was no link from her. Weren't there any more videos that the mysterious account owner would uncover?"Morning, Heather!" greeted Faye cheerfully. "You won't believe what happened yesterday!""Morning, Faye." I frowned at the folder she was wavin

That was crazy. After revealing the things over the past few days, he knew more secrets about them. How could he do that? I couldn't find any of Bailey's secrets with Silas' help. Was it because he had a lot of money?We waited impatiently, but he didn't tell us the secret. He just asked the audience to be patient and wait until the next show. I couldn't believe it. He deliberately made us curious to wait until the next day.Blaze's gaze on the screen softened. "Heather." My heart nearly stopped beating at the mention of my name. "I was so evil to use you. Because of my mistake, you became the victim of people's bullying. Although I don't deserve to be forgiven, I beg for your forgiveness. Please forgive me. I'll do whatever it takes to pay for all my sins."The video ended with the screen turning dark. 'Heather Bailey, what is your answer?'My eyes heated up as the video ended. Not just me, Blaze was also a victim of the crimes committed by Bailey. Remembering everything he did, my e

[Blaze] I'm glad I listened to Jericho's advice. He told me to be patient and wait for the right time to expose Bailey's rottenness. I waited for two weeks, and he was right. The event we were waiting for came. Unmasking them for the first time through their event was the best thing I'd ever done in my revenge against Bailey. They couldn't counterattack because all they had was fake evidence. The past three days were historic for me. For the first time, I could make those three people unable to move. They were targeted by reporters everywhere they went. Their homes were never empty of news-hungry journalists. However, they didn't utter a single rebuttal or comment. I was waiting for their counterattack. Cullen couldn't possibly stand by and watch his fiancée being attacked in public. He must be looking for evidence to get back at me. "All the people who withdrew the project contacted me to reconsider our agreement with them, sir," Kyle reported. I predicted it as soon as Darcy's l

[Heather]I couldn't believe he caused Charity to cut off communication with me. I thought she was embarrassed to be friends with me because of the rumors about me. I got all the information about Blaze's past from her, though. Turned out that bastard was the cause.I tried to contact her, but she still ignored me. So, I sent her a message about Blaze's threats that she needed to neglect. I wanted us to remain friends. Charity didn't reply, so I gave her time to think about my message.I woke up with a sore head from swearing at Blaze too much. Why did he have to ruin a good atmosphere by bringing up such an annoying subject? Fortunately, we were getting a divorce soon. I didn't have to worry about being bothered by him anymore."Good morning, Heather," Faye greeted. She held up a bag labeled bakery. "You must not have had breakfast. I bought you donuts!""Thank you, Faye. You are indeed my savior." I entered my office with her."Blaze is very kind. When you were scrambling to find ev

"Diana's a good friend. She's the only one who often visits me here. She also kindly paid for my treatment." She smiled happily. "Even though I have a family, they don't care about me." "We've been friends since we worked at a famous company. I don't know how many years it's been. It must have been a long time because my hair has started to turn gray." She chuckled. "Diana's so cool. She doesn't have a single silver hair yet." I quietly listened to her talk even though I wanted to tell her to shut up. Mrs. Bailey wasn't who she said she was. I couldn't believe she was that kind. With the financial difficulties she was going through, there was no way she had the money to pay for her treatment in such a luxurious place. The other patients in this place were well taken care of. Their hair, skin, faces, and clothes didn't look cheap. Only Gemma was wearing the shabby uniform of the hospital. Her hair, face, skin, and nails weren't well maintained. How wicked. I felt my eyes heating up.

Thankfully, Faye agreed to help me. She didn't ask why I needed that information. I was relieved to hear that because I wasn't ready to tell her everything. I remembered Taylor's advice that the less people know, the better. She protested about the store fire case I covered but understood why I kept my mouth shut and didn't discuss it with her. Blaze didn't write a closing sentence on the last video he published. So, I was sure there would be more surprises this afternoon or evening. As soon as Faye left again, I searched for as much information as possible about that poor woman. There were many people named Gemma Harrington, which made my search difficult, but I didn't give up and tried to find Gemma with a familiar face. Remembering Diana Bailey, I typed in her name, too. Unfortunately, there was no information about either of them on the internet. Gemma mentioned she had family, but they never came to visit at the hospital. Could Mrs. Bailey have caused that? My phone vibrated,
