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 rRelated chapters
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
The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 153 Martin's Sudden Change of Heart Toward Fannie
Seeing that Debbie had stopped pretending to be mad and stupid so openly, Hunter knew that she had been persuaded by him. The smile on his lips gradually became sinister.Debbie raised an eyebrow and said with a half-smile, "Aren't you and Patricia childhood sweethearts? Why do you want to ally with me against her?"Hunter replied, "That's none of your concern. You just need to answer me, do you want to work with me or not?"Debbie pressed further, "Then how do you plan to help me evade Jocelyn's surveillance? With the standing of the Thomas family in Ivara City, if they discover my act, I'm a goner. And I won't be able to use this tactic to save my life anymore! I won't agree unless I'm completely sure."Hunter smiled enigmatically, "Don't worry, if I approach you, it's because I'm fully confident!"Immediately, Debbie said, "If you can free me from Jocelyn, I agree to cooperate with you."Hunter gave a smile, no longer spoke, and turned to leave.Debbie
The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 154 Debbie Perishes in Fire
It was like a current ran through him. Martin froze, momentarily unsure where to place his hands. After a pause, he gathered his wits, slowly reaching out to gently wrap his arms around Patricia's back, preparing to hold her—Before her hand could make contact, Patricia seemed to snap out of her behavior, suddenly becoming aware of its impropriety. She awkwardly released Martin, apologizing sheepishly, "I'm sorry, I was just... just startled..."Martin's arm froze midair for a moment before it fell resignedly back to his side. He cleared his throat twice, adjusting his posture to conceal his own embarrassment. "It's alright... if you're scared, you can hold my hand tightly," he suggested, extending his hand toward Patricia.In the darkness, the details of his hand were not clear.Patricia's heart tightened slightly, a new sensation swirling inside her chest.After a pause, she shook her head and declined, "No need, once is embarrassing enough!"Mart
The Trap of The CEO's Ex-Wife Chapter 155 Debbie Really Died
"Everyone died in the fire?" Fannie exclaimed with horror in her widened eyes, full of sympathy, "Those poor souls, mad as they were, to die such an agonizing death."Charles realized she had missed the point and said with a heavy voice, "That's not what I meant. It's about Debbie... She had just been admitted there shortly before it caught fire."Somehow, he felt that the whole situation was too much of a coincidence.Fannie blinked dismissively, "She reaped what she sowed with her many evils."Randy perceived Charles's concern, "Charles, are you worried there might be more to this?"Charles nodded, "Yes! Which is why I need to find out more."Eager to assist, Randy asked, "How do you plan to confirm it? Do you need my help?"Charles looked at him steadily without a word, but an idea was forming in his mind.Fannie pouted, dissatisfied, "Daddy's heart is all for mommy, and there's no room for us! I am so tired, I want to sleep."Charles and Marti
