Hunting for His EX-Wife

Chapter 1097 Provocation (4)



At this moment in the garden, a well-proportioned woman was sitting and proudly looking at her phone.

Just now, the female server said that everything was going according to plan and Rose would completely fall from grace today.

As soon as Madeleine thought of this, she felt a sense of relief.

Today, she would be the only candidate who could become Mrs. Harper.

And she would definitely make Elliot truly fall in love with her!

Madeleine thought of this and got up with her phone, walking towards the elevator not far away.

Since Rose had been targeted so viciously, Madeleine felt compelled to go upstairs and witness “Pit-stain” entering Rose’s room and see Rose’s suffering with her own eyes.

As she thought of this, a slight smile formed at the corner of her mouth and her eyes gleamed with a sinister light.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped onto the stairs, someone came from behind and covered her mouth.

In just a few seconds, Madeleine tilted her head and lost consciousness, falling backwards.

Valentin supported Madeleine’s body with his hands and turned to the little guy standing beside him, “Should we send her to room 888 now?”

“Um.” Sean responded coldly with a serious expression on his little face.

The little guy was determined to make the villainous woman face the consequences for targeting his mother! He had always been aware that he was just a child and that when faced with adults, he might not be able to confront them directly. So, he had prepared a bottle of ether, just in case he needed it at a critical moment.

Unexpectedly, it was used on this bad woman today.

A few minutes later, Valentin successfully threw Madeleine onto the bed in room 888.

In addition, he also short-circuited the lights in the room under Sean’s command, and soon the room was plunged into darkness.

In such an environment, even if there were cameras trying to capture some evidence, they wouldn’t be able to.

After everything was ready, Sean and Valentin hid in the corridor near room 888 to observe secretly.

Not long after, a pit-stain man with a lewd expression appeared at the door, holding the key to the room with a sly smile as he walked in.

After the door to the room closed, Valentin and Sean sitting on the other side of the hallway exchanged a glance. A cold smirk appeared on both of their faces as they turned around and left the spot.

Meanwhile, on the balcony of the banquet hall, old Mr. Harper and Elliot were facing off, neither willing to back down first.

“Today is Mr. Gomez’s charity dinner, why did you bring Rose here? Do you still think our Harper family isn’t embarrassing enough?”

Elliot furrowed his brows and unconsciously tightened the hand at his side. Before he could speak, the angry voice of old Mr. Harper rang out again.

“Elliot, your female companion in public occasions should be more appropriate, after all, you represent our Harper family!”

“Why did you bring two women to an event like this? Are you trying to make us a laughing stock?” old Mr. Harper continued with increasing anger as he looked at his grandson.

Previously his grandson had shown some talent but since Rose came back he had become so stubborn and unyielding!

Elliot stood before his grandfather with a cold gaze and couldn’t help but retort. “Grandfather, Rose is my wife and I only brought her.”

He paused for a moment before continuing in an icy tone, “As for Madeleine, she was brought by you. If it wasn’t for your decision to bring her along, I wouldn’t have been put in such a difficult position.”

Old Mr. Harper listened to his grandson’s blunt rebuttal and became even more furious as he tightly gripped his cane.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

He let out a heavy sigh and glanced at the watch on his wrist; half an hour had passed since he parted with Madeleine. If Madeleine had taken action half an hour ago, she must have made it by now.

The old man sneered as he looked back at Elliot before asking sarcastically, “Wife?”

“You didn’t see what happened tonight? Look at that woman – does she look like someone who could be part of the Harper family?”

Elliot clenched the hand that was hanging by his side tightly; thinking about what happened tonight caused anger to flash through his eyes but he still defended Rose, “Grandfather, we were assigned numbers randomly tonight. Even she couldn’t decide it.”

Upon hearing this explanation from Elliot, the old man laughed mockingly while looking into Elliot’s eyes full of contemptuous disdain.

“Even if that’s not the case, have you forgotten about what happened before?”

Elliot’s expression darkened, and the temperature around him dropped several degrees.

Old Mr. Harper in front of him seemed oblivious to Elliot’s reaction and continued speaking, “Do you think a woman who betrayed you can still be considered your wife?”

Memories of Rose’s betrayal flashed through Elliot’s mind, causing him immense pain.

He was angry at Rose for betraying him but he didn’t want to lose her again.

Old Mr. Harper saw through his grandson’s hesitation with a smirk on his face and continued, “She cheated on you before behind your back, who knows if she is doing it again while you’re not around her.”

Elliot pursed his lips tightly together and looked around the banquet hall, trying to find Rose’s figure in an attempt to prove that everything his grandpa said was wrong and baseless accusations.

But he couldn’t find her anywhere in the venue despite searching every corner of it thoroughly. Lawrence, someone who could make Rose laugh heartily was also nowhere to be seen at this moment.

Were they together?

A surge of anger rose within Elliot; he wanted nothing more than to rush over to where Rose was hiding and take her back home with him forever so she would never leave him again!
