An Incomplete Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 123
“Stop right there!”
Olivia cried out desperately.
Inside her handbag were the international guarantee certificate, a substantial sum of cash, along with her passport and identification papers.
“Just give me back the bag, and I’ll let you go. Please, stop right there!”
The tall boy darted nimbly through the alleyways.
Whether he knew exactly where he was heading or was merely fleeing blindly, he plunged ever deeper into darkness where even the faintest glimmer of light vanished.
Tap-tap—the rhythmic clatter of shoe heels striking cobblestones and his ragged, gasping breaths echoed in her ears.
Her hair whipped wildly in the sea breeze, and her breath rose to her throat.
The pickpocket boy’s breathing grew labored, and his pace noticeably slowed.
The distance between them gradually closed. Olivia stretched out her arm toward the boy’s neck, where his hat sat askew.
Just as her fingertips nearly brushed his shoulder—again and again the gap closing only to widen—she almost caught him.
Bang! A deafening gunshot rang out.
With a short, sharp scream, the boy collapsed, and Olivia tripped over his feet, tumbling onto him.
Her mind went blank, her vision darkened, and once more—bang!—another gunshot split the night air, leaving a long, lingering echo.
Gasping for breath, Olivia instinctively grabbed the boy’s arm and dragged him into the shadow of a wall.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…
Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!

He had hoped she’d cling to him. He had wished she’d beg. Had she done so, he mi
You can forget that, Olivia ain’t begging no man. Your gonna have to grovel to make her forgive for putting her through this again.
‘That’s not what matters, Johann. What matters is that she’ll come to hate you.’
Edgar is so petty, it’s crazy. I don’t think he was ever really likable. more like someone to make Olivia forget Johann.
“…are you running away? What have I done?”
Is he joking? incredible!
