My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back

Chapter 179

Even Felix was stunned when he heard the news.

In a law-based society, the audacity of some individuals to commit crimes on another’s territory was

astounding.

With a trembling voice, Felix reported to Christopher, That’s the situation in a

nutshell, Mr. Levine. We’ve got information from Larson Corporation suggesting there’s a mastermind

behind this incident. Larson Corporation is on full alert, trying to uncover who’s responsible.”

He concluded his briefing, feeling like he was narrating a plot from a police thriller, filled with twists and

turns.

The tension in the air, amplified by Christopher’s intimidating presence, had sweat forming on Felix’s

brow.

Christopher, however, remained silent and gestured for Felix to leave with a wave of his hand.

Sitting on the couch, eyes closed, he was enveloped in a feeling of helplessness.

He was out of the loop about the incident until Candice had informed him that morning.

He wasn’t present during the incident, nor was he aware of it after.

Embarrassment washed over Christopher as he pondered. ‘Do I even have the right to ask for anything

from her? To try and win her back?”

The mention of a “mastermind” behind the incident had his eyes snapping open in realization.

‘If that threat isn’t addressed, Kimberly and the kids could be in danger, he thought.

Standing abruptly, he grabbed his phone and dialed a number he hadn’t used in a long time.

Blake Simmons was a shadowy figure, known to very few.

Felix had only heard whispers of his existence, as Christopher usually communicated directly with

Blake

Blake, meanwhile, was enjoying a vacation in Muprary, basking in the sun and attracting the attention

of several beautiful women, a typical scene for a fit guy on a beach holiday.

Knowing a call from Christopher meant serious business, he signaled the women around him for

silence and answered. “Christopher, it’s rare for you to call. What’s up?”

Blake and Christopher shared a bond of friendship and brotherhood.

After leaving the military, however, they rarely had the chance to meet more than a few

times a year. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Although Blake had his own pursuits, he was always ready to help Christopher, a friend who once

saved his life, a testament to the deep bond forged during their time in the military.

Christopher’s tone was icy. “I need you back in Dellmoor. There’s someone I need your to keep safe.”

Blake’s interest was piqued.

Christopher’s family was in Norham, and Christopher was more than capable of protecting them

himself.

“Who’s this person in Dellmoor you’re talking about?” Blake inquired, his curiosity. evident.

Christopher knew Blake’s nature; when he was curious about something, he would definitely get to the

bottom of it.

Thus, Christopher didn’t hold back and detailed his entire situation with Kimberly.

Blake was aware that Christopher had been married once, a fact that he found only after their divorce.

Thus, he wasn’t acquainted with Kimberly, nor had he met her.

Blake chuckled, half in amusement, half in disbelief. “Man, you’re in a tough spot. There’s a saying,

‘Hurt her once, and you’ll regret it for life.”

He didn’t miss the opportunity to rib Christopher a bit. “You were always praised for your sharp mind in

the military. But with women? Seems like you’re clueless. Getting involved with Kiara, knowing her

nature? That’s just asking for trouble.”

Blake remembered Kiara. The first time he met her, she had appeared alongside Christopher, casually

addressing him as if they were old friends.

Blake hadn’t been impressed, sensing a façade of innocence, but he had refrained from commenting

out of respect for Christopher.

Christopher fell silent, his emotions tangled. When it came to love, he found himself lost in a maze of

feelings, facing one complication after another.

Blake, sensing the frosty tone in Christopher’s voice over the phone, replied with at touch of humor,

“Hey, your problems are my problems. And your wife is my wi- Wh oops, almost crossed a line there.

That was close. Anyway, I’m catching the next. flight out of Muprary back to Dellmoor tonight. Don’t

worry about a thing.”

Knowing that Blake would be watching over Kimberly and the kids brought a sense of relief to

Christopher.

Blake wasn’t just skilled and experienced; he also had a sharp investigative mind, making him the ideal

person to uncover whoever was causing trouble.

Meanwhile, Kiara was laying low in Dellmoor. Ever since orchestrating an ambush on Kimberly, she

had been extra vigilant.

Ivy learned from Ethan that various factions in Dellmoor were actively searching for Kiara, apparently in

connection to Kimberly.

Kiara was acutely aware of Kimberly’s identity and capabilities, which far exceeded those of Ivy.

Thus, Kiara had become somewhat of an outcast, constantly on the run, barely daring to step outside.

Even something as simple as ordering takeout felt risky. Her diet had. been reduced to instant pasta

and makeshift stews.

Her life hadn’t improved since leaving the farm in Alendor.

Now working under Ivy, Kiara found herself caught up in petty schemes, feeling disillusioned.

She knew that even if she succeeded in her plans against Kimberly, the payoff would be minimal.

Moreover, she was tired of living in the shadows.

Kiara had proposed a deal to Ivy: complete one final task in exchange for a sum of

money.

She dreamt of going abroad, starting anew where no one knew her.

Ivy, however, wasn’t keen on releasing such a valuable pawn from her grasp.

Ivy kept manipulating Kiara, dangling promises of a better future, urging her to

persevere.

Their next target was initially Kimberly’s three children, Dexter, Sebastian, and Candice

But after the failed ambush on Kimberly and the tracker backfiring on Kiara, their plans. were in

jeopardy, and Kiara was in a precarious situation.

Everything could only be put on hold, depending on how the situation unfolded.

In contrast, Whitney was enjoying her life back in Dellmoor. At home, she was treated with respect by

Lisa and was essentially the head of the family.

As long as she didn’t go too far, William tended to overlook her actions.

In the design department at Larson Corporation, Whitney had followers who flattered. her, feeding her

ego.

However, Genevieve had become more vigilant after the party incident, drawing a clear line between

her professional and personal life. She was no longer the nice girl she

once was.

The colleague who had given Genevieve the juice at the party was actually under Whitney’s influence.

Genevieve tried to probe her for information, but the colleague feigned ignorance. No matter how

Genevieve pressed, she remained adamant in her claim of not knowing anything.

Genevieve decided not to escalate the issue, realizing she had to learn from this experience and be

more cautious moving forward.

Whitney, for her part, occasionally dropped by under the guise of a visit, secretly hoping to uncover any

hidden secrets.
