My coldhearted ex demands a remarriage

Chapter 765:

Arion responded with a scoff,

“Fine, if you want to play it that way, let’s see who else in Isonridge can pull strings like the Morrison family.”

Thoughts of Kristopher’s rumored actions involving Lise floated through Arion’s mind.

Reece’s investigations had revealed that Kristopher might have used financial influence to divert resources from Carrie to Lise.

Watching the exchange unfold, these rumors resurfaced in Arion’s mind, deepening his suspicions.

Carrie’s expression darkened. Everything around her seemed oddly surreal.

She kept her eyes on Kristopher. He looked frail, giving off a sense of distance, almost like a stranger.

Since arriving, Kristopher had avoided looking her in the eye, a distance he had never shown before, even when they were giving each other the cold shoulder in the past.

Initially, Carrie had resolved to dismiss her concerns, but Aliza’s questionable motives brought a sense of unease about Kristopher’s state. She couldn’t contain herself any longer and blurted out,

“Kristopher, do you recognize me?”

“Am I supposed to know you?” he replied, his expression a mix of confusion and slight revulsion.

The way he acted made it clear he saw her as just another overly eager woman.

In the hospital, after he woke up, numerous nurses and patients had made advances.

These women, knowing of his commitment, disregarded any sense of boundaries in their flirtations!

A hush fell over the room as those present processed the exchange between Carrie and Kristopher.

Aliza’s face turned pale instantly, her hand clutching the hem of her clothes. Biting her lower lip, she had no idea what to say.noveldrama

The air grew heavy with tension, and silence filled the room.

Suddenly, Billie and Kathleen walked in side by side, their cold stares fixed on Carrie, as if ready to stir up trouble.

Kathleen detached herself from Billie and approached Aliza, offering a reassuring pat on her hand and a comforting glance, urging her to stay calm.

Billie approached Carrie directly.

Arion quickly positioned himself between Carrie and Billie, protectively standing in front of her, his eyes fixed warily on Billie.

Halting her approach, Billie’s gaze shifted over Arion’s shoulder to meet Carrie’s eyes. Her voice was cold as she said,

“Ms. Campbell, I suggest you stay away from Kristopher. You were the one who ended things, yet now you’re acting all hesitant, as if you don’t want attention. Haven’t you always looked down on those eager women, calling them ‘manipulative flirts’? Take a good look at yourself now.”
