The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 100:

“Oh, really?” Lilliana asked.

Joshua's voice was flat, his face a mask of indifference. “She's your assistant. What could she be hiding from you?”

Lilliana's lips curved into a sharp, mocking smile. “Who knew what you were up to, Joshua? Let me give you a word of advice: don't dip your pen in the company ink. It’s a dirty business.”

Joshua's patience ran out and his cold eyes narrowed. “Okay. Since you don't trust me in the slightest, I'll drop everything. I'll stay by your side 24 hours a day. “How about that?”

Unfazed by his scathing tone, Lilliana raised an eyebrow. “If you want me to trust you, stop playing around. “I know you’re hiding something, and I won’t stop digging until I find out every secret you’re keeping from me.”

Joshua's gaze locked with hers, the tension building between them.

He knew she had found out something, rumors that could destroy everything. Alicia was becoming a real threat.

However, the more dangerous the situation, the more he wanted it; the challenge only fueled the fire in him.

“Very well, then,” he said with eerie calm. “Do as you wish. “I have work to do.”

As he walked away, Lilliana's eyes followed him, suspicion simmering beneath the surface. She snapped her fingers and called for her assistant.

"How many times have you been here?" Lilliana's tone was sharp, loaded with accusation.

The assistant froze under his gaze, his voice shaking. “Miss Green, I swear this is the first time I've been here. “I lost sight of you earlier and panicked, so I went to Mr. Yates’ office.”

Lilliana’s eyes narrowed, amusement flickering as she watched the assistant squirm anxiously. “Do you really expect anyone to believe that pathetic lie?”

"Miss Green, I don't..."

A sharp crack cut through the air.

Lilliana's hand shot out, leaving the assistant reeling from the prick.

Her cheeks burned and her eyes filled with tears, which spilled down her face despite her efforts to contain them.
