The Reborn Wife Of The Tyrant CEO
Chapter 145 - 142

Chapter 145: Chapter 142

I turned around to see Damon standing there with a grim face, having clearly heard me call him a "jerk."

I waved to April coolly. "You should head off, drive safe tonight"

April nodded, shot Damon a glare, and zoomed off with a press of the gas pedal.

She’s so free and easy, so cool.

If I had been half as free spirited as her, I wouldn’t have ended up with Damon, and none of this would have happened.

"So I’m a jerk in your eyes?" Damon’s voice was icy cold.

"What I think of you doesn’t matter, as long as you’re the best man in Ariel’s eyes, that’s enough, isn’t it?" I retorted, "Damon, get a grip, Ariel is important to you, and not just because of Catherine. Stop coming to me with all this weird stuff."

Ready to leave, I turned around only to have Damon grab my wrist and force me into his car. I tried to open the door, but it wouldn’t budge.

"What the hell are you doing?" I demanded, my wrist,aching from his grip.

"What’s this about?" Damon pulled out a handful of photos, his tone icy

I took the photos and was taken aback. They were of me and Joshua, who I had run into at a Day of the Dead ceremony

We had shared a meal and he had hugged me before we parted. Somehow, that had been caught on camera.

From the angle of the photo, we looked like a couple.

"Where did you get these?" I asked.

"Why were you hugging him? I thought you were just friends?" Damon was angry, as if I had cheated on him

"If you managed to get these photos, you must also know when they were taken. We were divorced by then. What happened between Joshua and me is none of your business."

After calmly responding. I attempted to open the door again. "Unlock the door, I want out!"

Damon was clearly pissed. He unlocked the door, but just as I was about to climb out, he leaned over and shut it.

Seeing this, I got angry and bit him again!

Through the thin fabric of his shirt, my teeth dug hard into Damon’s skin. I heard him gasp. I thought it hurt.

He had been scratched, bitten, even hit by me several times before, but he never learned his lesson and kept provoking me.

I let go of Damon. My teeth had drawn blood from his forearm, staining his shirt sleeve.

"Eliana!" Damon glared at his sleeve, swearing, "How many times have you bitten me? Are you a child?!"

I wiped my mouth with a napkin, "Open the door, or I’m calling your parents"

Damon’s face was pale. He finally unlocked the door.

He knew if I complained to his parents, he’d be scolded, and it might even affect Ariel.

Once back in my car, I immediately contacted Steve to find out who had taken the photos of Joshua and me

They were definitely taken by professional paparazzi.

Steve had good connections in the industry and could usually dig up some information

Steve replied: [Okay. I’ll let you know once I find out]

I put down my phone and glanced at Damon’s car through the windshield. He was still sitting there.

I knew Damon had feelings for me. His personality wouldn’t allow for him to be so persistent, even giving me all his assets and shares in Coleman Co. But it was too late now

If I had not experienced such deep pain, or if he was not wavering over Ariel, I might have taken him back.

To be more precise, if my child were still alive, as time went on, I could have let go of my resentment and let the child recognize him as his father. But there were no more ifs.

From any perspective, he and I were a past that shouldn’t be entangled anymore.

My mother’s forthtie birthday was coming up in a few days.

I put everything else aside and focused on planning a birthday party for her

Luna and the others would certainly come. As for the other guests, my mom and I would decide together.

I invited Jones, my best friend. I was more than happy to invite him.

The one family that couldn’t be ignored in the business circle was the Coleman family. The Coleman and the Brooks were once allies through marriage, but now they were practically enemies.

My mom decided to ignore the Coleman, and after deciding on the rest of the guest list, let others handle the invitation cards.

On the day of my mom’s birthday, the venue was bustling. I sat in a corner with Luna ,Sofia and Clara, eating and chatting Mitch was there too, and somehow his good friend Cooper had tagged along

The two were chatting with others not far away when Clara pointed and said, "Isn’t that Jones?"

I looked over and was dazzled

Jones was a handsome man with an impeccable manner, definitely one of the standouts in a crowd.

But because of his job, he seldom wore formal clothes, mostly wearing doctor’s robes. In his off time, he preferred a casual and comfortable style.

His black suit today was eye-catching, and his charisma was on full display, a stark contrast to his usual calm demeanor as a doctor.

"Eliana, you invited him?" Luna asked.

"Yes" I answered

"Oh, so Damon is the only one who wasn’t invited?" Sofia churned in.

Clara lightly tapped her head, "Of course she wouldn’t invite Damon!"

Sofia suddenly realized, and laughed awkwardly. "I just thought it was strange, with Jones, Mitch, and Cooper here, but no Damon. Is he so focused on Ariel that he’s ignoring his own friends?"

Luna rolled her eyes, "He’s always been more about women than friends!"

"Damon’s behavior is just baffling," Clara said with a puzzled look, "If he cares about feelings, then why has he been so indifferent and repelling towards Eliana for a decade? If you say he doesn’t care about feelings, then why is he so obsessed with his relationship with Catherine?"

Luna quickly chimed in. "He just doesn’t love Eliana, that’s all!"

Having said that, she seemed to realize that she might have said something wrong, and quickly comforted me, "Eliana, don’t be upset, you’ll meet a better guy once you leave him behind, he’s not worth your worry."

"Why should I be sad? I’ve moved on," I answered with a smile.

Just as I finished speaking, Luna suddenly stood up and stormed over to Mitch

Turns out some woman was trying to flirt with Mitch. As soon as she saw Luna coming, she scampered off.

Sofia, Clara and I were busy taking in the spectacle when we noticed Jones walking over.

Prepare to be captivated, Trust me the plot twist is worth the read
