The Reborn Wife Of The Tyrant CEO
Chapter 247 - 243

Chapter 247: Chapter 243

"Damon, how could you do this to me?" Ariel swiped at the tears in the corner of her eyes, Instead of answering my question, she looked at Damon with teary

eyes.

All she needed was Damon to defend her, if he did, she wouldn’t have to feel so wronged.

However, it was clear that Damon didn’t love her.

"You messed up. So you should apologize". Damon’s tone was stern.

"I didn’t do anything wrong! She snatched my bouquet and then pushed me down!" Ariel stubbornly refuted, "You’re just favoring her because you can’t get over her. If that’s the case, then why did you compromise with me?"

Damon lost his patience, irritably snapping. "Shut up! It’s not your place to tell me what to do!"

Ariel burst into tears. She wanted to frame me but ended up losing face in front of me. She glared at me with hatred. I knew she was going to blame this on me again.

As expected, Ariel bit out, "Eliana, are you satisfied now? Isn’t this what you wanted?"

"Firstly, you started this. Secondly, I don’t even want to see you, let alone your so-called results" I responded indifferently.

Ariel covered her face as she cried and ran out. Except for Karen, who followed her out, everyone else just stood there.

Damon shot Jones a cold glance, as if he were looking at an enemy.

I didn’t want to see the two of them at odds in front of me, so I quickly left the lounge

Jones called out to me. "Eliana!"

I stopped and turned to him, "What is it?"

"Nothing Just go". Jones shook his head, his smile faint.

I knew he wanted to say something, but I also understood that nothing needed to be said anymore. Any more words would only make things harder for both of us

I purposely avoided looking at Damon. Ever since he decided to collaborate with Nancy, I didn’t want to see him anymore. Their charity foundation, focusing on heart diseases, was to commemorate Karina.

After leaving the lounge, Sofia’s wedding was about to end. After a dance, she rushed over to check on me.

"It’s okay Ariel’s gone "I replied. Even though she didn’t apologize to me, she must have been frustrated.

"She is ridiculously shameless!" Luna cursed angrily

"Today is Sofia’s wedding day! Don’t get mad over someone insignificant." I said, smiling calmly

Even though Sofia and the others decided to let it go for now, after the wedding, Sofia requested the footage and gave me a copy

I understood Sofia’s intention. Once I got home, I immediately reviewed the footage and quickly found a suitable angle. In slow motion, the video clearly showed Ariel’s actions at the time.

I captured all the key frames and saved them, I had a hunch that Ariel would stir up trouble over this again.

And Ariel proved me right.

I received a lawsuit while I was at the company Ariel claimed that I intentionally made her fall in public, causing her right shoulder injury

She also claimed that I humiliated her in public, damaging her image and reputation. Therefore, she demanded not only compensation for medical expenses but also for emotional distress, reputation damage, and other costs.

When I received the lawsuit, this information was also made public. The amount Ariel demanded was very small, especially for emotional distress. It was only one dollar.

The message was clear. She was determined to make me admit my mistake and apologize.

When the public saw this amount, everyone believed she was treated unfairly.

Suddenly, I was labeled as the ’petty ex-wife’ in public opinion. People began to criticize me online for being sly and cruel.

The most popular comment was, "How could you expect a girl from a humble background to compete with a rich girl who grew up fighting in a wealthy family?"

My past with Ariel was dug up again. Some even said that all the negative news about Ariel before was fabricated by me.

Ariel was really talented at guiding public opinion

My assistant came to ask me, "Ms. Brooks, what should we do about this?"

"Call the public relations department" I replied calmly

I had the evidence, so I had nothing to fear. I didn’t have the time or the mood to waste with her. All I needed to do was present the evidence directly

While I was discussing this with the PR team, Joshua called, but my phone was on silent, so I didn’t hear it.

By the time I saw the four missed calls on my phone, it had already been an hour since I called back, but no one answered.

So I sent a message. "Joshua, what’s up?"

Joshua didn’t reply; he must have been busy. I checked the time and was ready to leave work. That’s when Damon called, but I declined. I lost count of how many times I blacklisted him.

To completely avoid Damon, I went back to my apartment.

The elevator doors slowly opened. As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw Damon standing in the corridor, smoking After seeing me, he casually threw the cigarette on the ground and stamped it out

"What do you want?" I didn’t move, keeping my distance from Damon.

"You blacklisted me again, didn’t you?" Damon asked coldly

I mentally called him a ’psycho! then turned to go back to the elevator to stay in another house.

But Damon strode after me. He grabbed my hand tightly before I could enter the elevator, preventing me from leaving.

His voice was deep. "Don’t you want to know how your father is doing?"

Every time he mentioned my father, I couldn’t ignore him.

Over the years, my family had accumulated substantial wealth and social prestige. Even though we were facing difficulties now, our family wouldn’t collapse overnight.

But I couldn’t see my father, I wasn’t even allowed normal visitation rights because they said his case was special.

"How...how is my father doing?" Unable to control myself, I finally asked the question.

"His situation ain’t looking too good. He’s been set up. His life in the slammer is sure to be rough." Damon’s words hit me like a ton of bricks.

Every time I thought about my dad being in pain, it ripped me apart.

Blinking back the tears, I managed to ask, "How’d you find out? Did you do some snooping around?"

Damon just smirked, "I didn’t have to lift a finger, someone spilled the beans. You should know that if your family wants to get out of this pickle, I’m your only shot"

I know that all too well. Even though the Coleman s were in the business world, they were a force to be reckoned with. If Damon was willing to step in, there was a chance my dad’s case could turn around.

In the five years we had been married, Damon must’ve built a solid network through my dad.
