Chapter 28 – Unexpected Help
Mr. Newman noticed the change in her expression and beckoned her to the luxury chair in front of him. “You have paled. Are you alright? Have you eaten? Here, drink some water.” He offered her a glass of water. Zora did not refuse his kind gesture and drank the water.
Taking note of the empty drinking glass, Mr. Newman guessed she was hiding something. “Do you know her? Your reaction is suspicious,” he said honestly. Zora pursed her lips, forcing herself to breathe down her anger.
“Yes, but I can’t tell you the details.”
Mr. Newman smiled, but it didn’t reach his eyes as he spoke to her with the same honesty he began with.
“I opened my doors to you and told you everything about my family. I might not be your real family, but I see you as a daughter. It’s okay if you want to keep it in.”
Zora felt guilty upon listeni

Confusion brewed in Zora’s father's mind at the other end of the line. There was no mention of any new contract, leading him to suspect that Ezrah might be finding ways to secure that partnership with him. As he had promised his daughter, he would never accept help from Ezrah or the Gannons, even if the company were to crumble like sand. “Does he have an appointment?” he asked seriously. The secretary sighed and replied, “No, but he mentioned that he traveled for over five hours just for this business and that your wife would be interested. You won’t want to miss it.” This behavior was not typical of Ezrah. Mr. Adams thought it fair to see and hear what this man had to say. “Send him in,” he instructed. It wasn’t long before an unfamiliar figure entered his office as the door swung open. “Hi, my name is Sander Newman, and I believe you are Zora’s father. Where is her mother?” Mr. Newman, tall and middle-aged, stood with his glasses, looking strong and attractive, much like Zora’s f
The CEO's Fabulous Ex-Wife Chapter 30 - Dad, I want a divorce
“Am I right to say that you have become ruthless?” her father asked, feeling helpless. Zora did not care what name it was. Her innocent child could not die in vain. Someone had to pay, and that person was living her normal life while she, Zora, was still grieving the loss of her child. Was that being ruthless? She asked seriously, “Dad, what would you do if someone plans an accident that takes my life?” When her father thought about the question, knowing it was his grandchild who lost her life in the accident, he couldn’t pretend to be an angel. “I would be more ruthless.” “Then please don’t blame me,” Zora said from the end of the line. Whereas her father feared she might regret it later, looking back at how mindlessly she loved Ezrah before. “Are you sure that you don’t feel anything for Ezrah anymore?” Zora smiled bitterly from the end of the line. It was the reason she faked her death. If she hadn’t, she knew that Ezrah would have always been in her face. But taking on a new
The CEO's Fabulous Ex-Wife Chapter 31 - MRAB Group
Mr. Newman never saw that coming, and Michelle felt guilty. Maybe if she hadn’t slapped him, he wouldn’t have asked for a divorce before the agreed time.It wasn’t about the money, but Mr. Newman had put so much trust in her that she did not want to disappoint him.“Sebastian, it’s just a few months…” Michelle was saying when Mr. Newman held up his hand, signaling her to stop. He knew that her explanation would only make it worse since Sebastian’s mind was made up.He expected it, and that was the reason why he made the necessary provision for it. A pitiful smile curled up the corner of his lips as he addressed his son.“Sebastian, you will regret this. I’m doing everything for your good, so let the one year be over.”As expected, Sebastian refused. He had to find his strength and search for Piper wherever she was
The CEO's Fabulous Ex-Wife Chapter 32 – Ready to face him.
“I am doing my best to meet with the CEO of MRAB Group. It's rather unfortunate how she’s always out of the office. I heard she has other businesses, and the secretary would not give me her personal number,” Ezrah replied helplessly. This was the first time he faced difficulty in meeting anyone. They were always the ones drooling over him. He couldn’t blindly support the Henshaws without knowing what MRAB Group was up to. Everything seemed deliberate, and he had to know if the CEO was interested in helping the community or intentionally going against the Henshaws. Lucas and Ethan exchanged glances. This was the first time Ezrah complained about anything. He was always all action and no talk, but now, he was all talk and no action. “Come on, kid brother. You have all the charm. Isn’t that why our father chose and trusted you for this? Women have been throwing themselves at you, but it seems this woman hates your charm. If not for her name, I would have said she was a man, but come to

“Are you sure about this? Ezrah is still running the businesses in this city. Are you capable of battling with him? I even heard that he secretly opened new companies solely under his name,” Mr. Leonard Adams revealed.Having seen his daughter so hurt before, he would not be able to endure it if she got hurt a second time. Ezrah was ruthless, and taking into consideration the fact that even when Zora was his wife, he had refused to support their company, it only shed more light on his ruthless character.Zora was calm, not needing to be told as she was not only married but also worked with Ezrah. She knew him like the back of her hand.“I don’t intend to battle with him. I’ve already begun my revenge on the Henshaws. If he dares to cross me, not even the love and respect I have for his parents would stop me from equally messing him up. All I want is for him to stay far away from me.” Zora’s expression and voice were so cold that her personal bodyguard, Rush, stared at her with a stunne

“You know about her?” Madison was bewildered that Zora knew about Piper. “Gosh. She only made an appearance at the company after your death. I mean, now that we are talking, I will rather say, disappearance. Then Ezrah broke up with her. She attempted to commit suicide, so he went to stay by her side at the hospital. A few months ago, they got engaged, and she comes to the office all the time.” Zora’s gaze darkened slowly, and she could not help feeling bitter. Ezrah went to stay with Piper at the hospital because she wanted to take her life. What about her, who carried his child? Before and after the accident, he never showed up at the hospital. He was never there for her. Ezrah was trying to fight for his fiancée’s family’s company. They would see about that. “Do you have any idea if they live together?” Zora did not know if she was ready for this but was certain that she was prepared. She would not live in this city for more than three months. “Ezrah rented a penthouse for her, t

Ezrah regained himself and freed his hand from Piper’s grip. At the same time, his eyes met the woman on the red carpet. It was strange that, though her lips blossomed with a sweet smile, her eyes were very dark. It was as if she was smiling with her lips while her eyes carried a different message. The exchange was brief as she turned her attention to the camera. There were a lot of camera flashes as she signed autographs and exchanged a few words with the woman beside her. “I hate the paparazzi. Go with Madison. I guess she’s a fan too,” Ezrah finally said, eager to have a word with that woman. He did not want to be caught on camera with Piper, thinking it wise to take a step back. Perhaps he’ll find another way to have a conversation with that woman. His mind was in a mess right now. Piper was displeased as she wanted to show off Ezrah in front of the media. Knowing that her annoyance would make him upset, she plastered a smile on her face before saying, “But I got the pass for u
The CEO's Fabulous Ex-Wife Chapter 36 – Zora. It's you!
Lake pressed his palm against Ezrah’s forehead, expecting to feel warmth, but it turned out cold. “I thought you had a fever, but you seem fine to me. I saw Zora only on your wedding day, but I doubt she’s the one there.” He thought Ezrah had gotten over Zora, but it did not seem so. Lake wondered what about Michelle got Ezrah so worked up. His behavior tonight was abnormal, but Ezrah was not one to cause a scene. It would be absurd for his matter to be on the lips of the media. The more Ezrah saw Michelle, the stronger his conviction grew. Her hand gestures, smile, dentition, and so on. This was a woman he shared the same bed with for three good years, so how could he not recognize her? Or was it her ghost? “You said it yourself that there was something fishy about the accident,” Ezrah reminded Lake. Lake was losing his patience as he saw another celebrity about to take Michelle and Coco’s place. “Can we discuss this later? There is limited time for this.” Irritation settled in hi
