Dear Ex-wife Marry Me (Maja and Ian) novel Chapter 1744

Carol had been holed up in the villa for two weeks, her cellphone powered off the entire time. She felt like she was falling apart. Knowing herself, she should've confronted Felix right away, but she did nothing; just hid away like a coward.

Her mind was a tangle of the events that had led her here.

Listina had fallen ill, Felix was at her side, and Carol found Listina a doctor, covering over a hundred thousand dollars in medical expenses out of her own pocket. Listina kissing Felix, her fiancé.

The human mind was a curious thing. Maybe she was subconsciously avoiding the truth, which explained why she couldn't make sense of it all.

She remembered Listina's harsh words at the hospital, thinking she was just ranting, but what if she was telling the truth?

If this was all a scam, it would make sense. She had been such a fool. Duped emotionally, taken advantage of, and still dreaming of marriage with Felix, she was a complete fool. She had never felt so humiliated, so foolish in her entire life.

Lately, she shut out the world - no TV, no phone, no computer. When hungry, she nibbled on crackers, when thirsty, she drank water, and she had lost twenty pounds as a result.

Then Yolanda came knocking. She was pounding on the door like a madwoman, "Carol! Open up, it's an emergency, Carol!"

Carol's world remained in chaos, but Yolanda's voice was too loud to ignore. She sluggishly made her way towards the door.

Upon opening it, Yolanda burst in, "Carol, it's a disaster! Turn on the TV!"

For the past two weeks, Carol had avoided the television, refusing to absorb any news from the outside world.

Yolanda powered on the TV, and the screen showed footage of Abner being taken away by the police.

Furthermore, a majority of the Miller Group's shares had fallen into the hands of a stranger. That stranger was Felix, a newcomer rising to prominence in Greenfield.

Carol's head throbbed with pain, hearing Yolanda's voice crack with sobs.

"Carol, oh no, this is bad! My dad was involved too. Two weeks ago, I overheard him talking with Felix. I wanted to warn you right away, but my dad found out and grounded me. That's why I haven't been able to see you. He thought partnering with Felix would make him the president of the Miller Group, but Felix double-crossed him. There's a contract you signed that's now key evidence against my dad. He's been thrown under the bus by the media, blamed for the company's takeover. What do we do now, Carol?"

Yolanda was genuinely panicked; her world revolved around racing. She’d never imagined the Miller Group could face such turmoil.

For Carol, it felt like the lights went out, nearly collapsing on the spot.

Listina, spotting Carol, let a smug look flit across her face before the assistant discreetly left the room.

Yolanda was livid, "Felix, what the hell is this? Have you been playing my cousin all along?"

Listina arrogantly lifted the lid off the boxed lunch.

"You two sisters can't put together a single brain between you. The situation is so clear, and yet you still don't get it? Poor things. Felix only dated Carol to use the Miller family's influence to find me a doctor."

Listina rolled her eyes as she spoke, “By the way, I talked to Nathan the other day. Do you know what Felix asked Nathan for?”

Felix uttered, “Stop it.”

"No, I won’t stop. Carol, remember how you bragged about sleeping with Felix? Haha, did you know that every time he was with you, he took drugs first? Those pills could get him excited even if he was with a man. Do you really think it was you he desired? You're so pathetic, flaunting yourself, but in his heart, you're probably worth less than a piece of meat. Disgusting!"

Listina, having vented her spite, felt an immense satisfaction.
