The Ex-Husband Demands Reunion (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 48
“I’ve brought them, Master.”
Domingo placed a silver tray containing several documents on Philip’s desk.
He had just returned from visiting Lady Hades’ boutique with two escort knights to purchase camellia oil. Using that as a pretext, he had also safely retrieved important documents.
“Well done.”
“Don’t mention it.”
Philip, about to return to his work, thought of Ellen, who had gone into town, and briefly set down his pen.
“Did you happen to stop by the building on 5th Avenue?”
“Yes, it’s nearly completed.”
“Really? Was Ellen there?”
“She wasn’t there, my lady. I heard she went to Lady Hades’ boutique, so it seems our paths crossed.”
“I see.”
Philip picked up his pen again. But he wasn’t done questioning Domingo.
“Anything else about Ellen?”
“I heard the art appraiser she summoned will arrive in three days.”
Philip nodded without much thought.
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.

Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!
