Chapter 144 Separation of Mother and Son
Seeing him like this, Patricia's eyes reddened and gradually misted over; to prevent Charles from seeing, she took a deep breath, holding back her tears.
"Let's go! After I drop you off, I still need to visit the hospital."Charles kept backing away until he was against the wall, unable to retreat further. He stopped and stared at Patricia in disbelief."You're willing to sever our mother-son relationship just to get rid of me?"Patricia’s heart was resolute as she deliberately kept a stern face, "I merely wish for you to return to the Langley family. Even if you blame me, it doesn’t matter to me. No matter what, the blood of the Langley family runs through your veins."She knew all too well that if she told Charles the truth, he would never leave.He might even feel obliged to protect her. She couldn't be that selfish, to leave a child with such danger.Catching the fleeting look of reluctance and distress in her eyes, Charles was momentarily stunned, tRelated chapters

Patricia clenched her fists tightly, using this to suppress the piercing pain in her heart.Just as she was about to step through the doorway, Martin's voice suddenly rang out behind her, “Wait…”Patricia paused, but still did not turn around.Martin asked, “What in the world is going on? Why are you leaving Charles with me? I promised him that I wouldn’t contest custody with you. He's always been with you, aren’t you being too cruel to him now?”Patricia hastily denied it: "I didn't abandon him, I... I just..." She paused, then with a pained expression added, "Compared to me, you can protect him better. He's just living in a different environment now. Our relationship as mother and son won't change."After speaking, without waiting for a response from the two behind her, she quickly left, afraid that lingering would only make her more heartbroken.Martin felt something was off, that there had to be an issue. He wanted to chase after her for the truth, but wi
The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 146 Charles as if Dictating His Last Will
Hearing that Charles was missing, Patricia bolted upright from the bed, her voice becoming shrill without her realizing, "What did you say? Charles is missing?"Martin blamed himself: "I had been with him all day, and just when I went back to my room to shower, he disappeared. None of the servants saw him leave, and it was only when we checked the security cameras that we spotted him. He must have avoided the servants and slipped out secretly."Patricia’s heart leapt to her throat, her fatigue swept away as she immediately jumped out of bed, "He hasn't come back, send someone to look for him at once, I'm going too, inform me if there's any news!""Will do!"After ending the call, Patricia tried Charles’s mobile phone immediately, only to be met with the notification that it had been switched off.In a panic and without hesitation, she grabbed her phone and car keys and rushed out the door.Jade had just sent Fannie back to her room to bathe and saw Patricia's
The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 147 Charles Knows of Patricia's Threat
A heavy voice came from the other end of the line, "Alan has discovered through street surveillance that the last place Charles was seen is Cambridge Road. The Riverside Apartments are also on Cambridge Road. Could Charles have gone back there?""Cambridge Road?"Could it be that after seeing Randy, Charles had gone back home?As this possibility dawned on her, Patricia shook with excitement. "Hold on for a moment, I'm going to check the surveillance at home!"Without ending the call, she switched from the call screen and opened the home surveillance app.As she accessed the surveillance, she prayed incessantly in her heart, hoping that Charles had indeed returned.Alas, she was met with disappointment.Charles had not come home.A sense of boundless despair overwhelmed her.She brought the phone back to her ear, her voice filled with dejection. "No, I just checked the surveillance. Charles isn't home."Martin knew she was feeling guilty and r
The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 148 Charles Reveals the Truth to Martin
Charles pursed his lips, looking at her as if she were a fool."If I couldn't notice something was off with you today, given my IQ of 180, I'd be underselling myself!" he said.Patricia: "…? Was it that obvious?"Just then, there was a 'ding,' and the elevator doors opened.Mother and son hand in hand, stepped inside.Charles continued earnestly, "I didn't notice last night, but this morning, I saw that something was wrong with you! At first, I thought you were just tired, hadn't rested well. I didn't pay much attention to it. But when you said you were giving me back to Daddy, I realized the situation was far more serious than I had thought."Patricia rolled her eyes at him, "And you cried so sadly? To an outsider, it might seem as though you had lost your parents!""…??" Charles replied helplessly, "Would anyone really curse themselves like that?"Patricia: "…??"That comparison really didn't seem quite appropriate.Charles went on, "I was t
The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 149 Martin Stands up for Patricia, Condemns Samuel
Martin looked towards Patricia, his bottomless eyes churning with dark currents, like an enraged lion."Is what Charles said true? Did my father really look for you? Is that why all your behavior was so odd today?"He felt it was strange.Patricia loved Charles dearly, so why would she all of a sudden give him up so easily?She was clearly suffering.With her hands nervously clutching her pants in her lap, Patricia reflected on how Charles now knew everything; there was no hiding it anymore. She nodded faintly and whispered hoarsely, "Charles was telling the truth. Samuel somehow found out about Charles' existence, and a long time ago, he came to me and asked me to return Charles to the Langley family..."Martin's eyes narrowed dangerously. He was aware of Samuel knowing about Charles, so it didn't surprise him, but what infuriated him was Patricia's attitude. "So, you just agreed? What do you think Charles is? A possession to be handed back and forth? Don't
The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 150 Charles Reveals Fannie's Identity to Martin
Samuel acknowledged that the Langley family was now Martin's domain and was overwhelmed by a sense of powerlessness he had never experienced before."I'm doing this for the Langley family! I've met young Charles; he's bound to become a remarkable heir. I don't want to waste talent."The intensity deepened in Martin’s gaze as he steadily looked at him, "I know, and there’s no need for your concern. Let’s consider this the only time, no precedent for the future."Having said that, he started to walk away.But after a few steps, he stopped without turning back, "Charles refuses to leave Patricia, and you don’t want him running away from home again, do you? Should anything happen, who would bear the consequences?"With his final words uttered, Martin left.Watching his figure disappear from view, Samuel collapsed onto the sofa inside his home—After leaving the Langley Mansion, Martin sent a message to Patricia on his way back."I've settled things with h
The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 151 The Truth About Fannie
His words were cut off abruptly by Fannie's crying interruption, "Charles, don't say anymore, if you tell him, I won't talk to you anymore. I hate him...""Fannie..." Charles looked at her helplessly. He knew what Fannie was upset about.She was angry that Dad had pushed her and hurt her at the hotel last time and, rather than apologizing, had glared at her coldly. Even when he was later forced to apologize, it wasn't sincere.She had been harboring resentment inside her.And lately, with Dad's increasingly nasty attitude towards her, she felt even worse, which led to their relationship deteriorating further, and Fannie refused to acknowledge him."I mean what I say!" Fuming, Fannie glared at Martin, took Patricia's hand, and started walking forward, "Mommy, let's go!"Patricia was almost being carried forward by her.After sighing inwardly, Patricia said helplessly, "Fannie, I know you're still mad at Dad, but he didn't mean it that time, and he did
The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 152 Debbie Is Committed to a Mental Hospital
Exiting the elevator, Patricia headed to the doctor's office, while Martin went straight to the ward.They went in opposite directions.Just as Patricia reached the office, she overheard colleagues discussing, “Have you heard? Debbie has mental issues now; she’s been committed to the Athens Mental Hospital.”Another female colleague incredulously asked, “Is that true or just a rumor?”The male doctor with glasses declared, “Of course it’s true, it’s been on the news. How do you not know! The Watson family had her taken to Cambria Hospital, where a senior psychiatrist from the mental health department issued the diagnosis in person.”The female doctor sighed deeply, “Think about her. She's beautiful, she’s the Watson family heiress, educated with advanced degrees, and yet she didn’t cherish any of it. She did all sorts of wrong and now has come to this end.”“Right! She lost her reputation, her face was destroyed, and there’s even a video of that incident circ
