The Reborn Wife Of The Tyrant CEO
Chapter 146 - 143

Chapter 146: Chapter 143

"Al, let’s get some breath?"

The moment Jones showed up, Sofia quickly stood up, grabbed Clara, and left. Both of them, like Luna, believed that Jones had a thing for me and even encouraged me behind my back to accept him. They thought it would not only piss off Damon, but also would get me a good man.

But of course, I flatly refused I didn’t want to exploit Jones’s feelings

The more genuine people are to me, the less I want to take advantage of them.

"Dr. Jones you’re looking dashing today"" I complimented him sincerely

"How am I dashing?" Jones sat down beside me, asking with a smile.

In a teasing tone, I said, "So dashing that half of the young women in the room are sneaking peeks at you. Haven’t you noticed? Or are you shortsighted?" Jones glanced around the room. Indeed, there were many young women, all beautiful and affluent.

His gaze remained steady, then he turned to me, "What about you? Have you been sneaking peeks at me too?"

I awkwardly avoided his gaze. Of course, I had been watching him, but my watching was different from that of the other women. I was merely observing how popular Jones was.

With his good looks, I could not help but admire Ariel for being the only one he liked in my past life.

Ariel truly had a perfect alignment of time, place, and people in conquering Damon and Jones. Catherine’s heart and her own tactics were both indispensable.

In this life, Jones was not in love with Ariel anymore but seemed interested in me

Although I felt a little embarrassed, deep down, I felt a bit triumphant. His liking me was proof that I was attractive.

"It’s not quite accurate to say ’sneaking a peek in our case, is it?" I answered with a smile.

"That doesnt sound right indeed," Jones smiled." Didn’t you invite Damon?"

My family and the Colemans have some business collaborations. Business isn’t like marriage; you can’t just divorce it.

If we were to cut off everything in a fit of anger, it would definitely harm both families interests, and my family’s loss might be even greater.

Our not inviting anyone from the Coleman family could be seen as my moms deliberate provocation for the Coleman family, a topic of gossip for others

"Why would I invite him?" I retorted indifferently

"Is there absolutely no chance of you two getting back together?" Jones seemed to be testing me.

I answered earnestly, ’No, aren’t you aware of the situation with Catherine?"

Although I hadn’t told Jones, I believed Mitch must have mentioned it to him privately

Catherine’s heart was transplanted into Ariel, a shocking piece of news.

As expected. Jones was aware of it. "I know I didn’t expect such a twist, I think Damon doesn’t truly love Ariel. He just feels guilty about Catherine and can’t let go for now."

"Is a heart that important?" | suddenly asked.

"Do you find what I’m saying hard to understand?" Instead of showing a look of contempt, Jones earnestly explained, "Suppose you love Damon deeply, and then he leaves you. Later you find out another man has his heart inside him. How would you feel?"

I listened quietly to his words, trying to understand from his perspective. I could indeed comprehend Damon’s current feelings.

If Damon and I hadn’t had these issues and were a loving couple, I would definitely feel the world falling apart if he suddenly left

I think I’m getting it, I nodded and said with a smile. "But even if I do, it’s of no use. I won’t turn back. Life is unpredictable. Back then, I chased after Damon for five years, only for him to fall in love with Catherine, whom he had just met I paid a five-year price for it. That’s enough."

Jones’s gaze flickered, and his smile deepened. "Hmm, you’re still young and have many choices. Start a new life,"

I would definitely start a new life, but before that, I needed to expose Ariel’s facade.

I originally wanted to share my plan with Jones, but I held back. Aside from Joshua, I hadn’t told anyone else about my concrete plan

The more people who know about it, the less safe it is.

After my mom’s birthday party, James told me there was a birthday gift from Damon in the car. He had waited downstairs for a while but didn’t come up.

There was a beautifully wrapped gift box in the car I didn’t open it, just weighed it in my hands. It was heavy.

When my mom found out the gift was from Damon, her expression was complex. My dad, on the other hand, said outright, "We don’t want his gift. I’ll send someone to return it to his company right away!"

Neither my mom nor I objected.

After we got home, my dad sent James to return Damon’s gift. It took him about two hours to get back.

"Ms Brooks, Mr. Coleman wasn’t at the company His assistant took the gift and put it in his office," James reported.

"Okay," I nodded, then asked, "By the way, James, how’s your father’s health?"

"He’s doing well now. Timely rescue has helped him recover well, if not for you, Ms. Brooks, letting me go home early and lending me your car, I fear..."

James was filled with gratitude.

I said with a smile, "You should take good care of your parents’ health"

"Yes, I will," James nodded.

Not long after my mom’s birthday, I learned from Luna that Ariel was discharged from the hospital

Her physical resilience amazed me. She seemed weak but was actually very strong I shouldnt underestimate her

I wasn’t like her. In my past life, I was diagnosed with late-stage breast cancer. The disease progressed rapidly, and I died soon after.

I had not dreamt about my past life for some time, but recently, I was plagued by nightmares again. Each time I wake up, my face was wet with tears, and my body was drenched in sweat.

I felt uneasy but couldn’t pinpoint the reason.

It wasn’t until photos of Joshua and me embracing appeared online that I realized the unease was a premonition.

Besides those intimate shots, there’s also a picture of me dancing at Cielo Nocturno, raising the hem of my dress to reveal my waist. My face looked a little abnormal from drinking.

The photo was a bit blurry, like someone had zoomed in from a higher floor, the angle clearly from top to bottom.

I started to freak out. In comparison, this dancing picture was way more risky. If it caught the public’s eye, it would definitely rain on my dad’s parade at work.

Then Steve texted me, "Ms. Brooks, I’ve got some dirt on what you asked me to check out. Those shots were indeed taken by a fellow paparazzo, he fessed up Initially, he wanted to shake you down for some dough, but later decided to cut a deal with Damon. So, all the photos are with Damon now."

Did Damon break the news? To get back at me and my parents? He’s not a good guy. A guy who could run Coleman Coat Such a young age wouldn’t pull any punches. He’s played all sorts of games with his competitors long ago.

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