Mr. CEO's Ex-Wife: A Cunning Comeback-Chapter 349: Are You Deaf?

Things were going well until that accident happened, the one Stephanie had mentioned. It was serious and clearly planned.

To save Chantelle, Xander was badly hurt. He almost lost his life.

His parents and pregnant sister rushed to the hospital as soon as they heard about the accident. But on the way, they got into a car crash. His father died, and his sister lost her baby. Not long after, she fell into depression and eventually took her own life.

Chantelle had always felt sorry for Emelia, knowing everything she had gone through. That’s why, no matter how cruel Emelia was toward her, she never fought back.

"Stop right there! I told you before that you’re not allowed here with those brats. Are you deaf? Or do you actually want Xander dead?" a young woman suddenly yelled, charging toward them.

She had lost to Chantelle before, so she didn’t dare lay a hand on her. Instead, she slapped the kids.

Railer was the unlucky one as he was the one who got slapped.

Chantelle saw the swelling on Railer’s cheek so she slapped the woman quickly without holding back.

"You dare hit me? After everything you’ve done to Xander, you still have the nerve? Auntie Emelia, I told you that she planned all of this! She wanted Xander to get hurt so she could get her hands on his money!"

The woman shouting was Xander’s childhood friend. Since Xander had been in a coma, she’d stayed by Emelia’s side, helping take care of her.

Because of that, Chantelle gave her a bit of respect.

But hitting Railer was something she couldn’t forgive.

Kane and Stephanie were furious when they saw their brother get slapped. But they remembered what their mom had told them not to fight with their godfather’s family. Otherwise, they would’ve released Little Bee to sting the woman right then and there.

"I said leave Xander alone. Didn’t you hear me? Get out now!" Emelia shouted from her wheelchair. She glanced quickly at Railer’s swollen cheek, then looked away sharply.

Chantelle held back her anger. "I must’ve been too nice to all of you. That’s why you still live in your own little fantasy world."

"What’s that supposed to mean? Don’t tell me you’re going to bring up how you’re the one paying Xander’s medical bills again. You only got that money because you took his wealth! You should be thankful we never asked for it back!" Caitlin yelled from behind Emelia.

Chantelle gave a cold smile and looked Emelia straight in the eye. "Yes, I’m the one paying for his treatment. But it has nothing to do with the money I received. I’m doing it out of gratitude because he saved me and my children. He stood by us during the hardest times."

"Oh please," Caitlin scoffed. "You make it sound like you’re some kind of saint." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Chantelle ignored her and kept speaking to Emelia. "No one knows Xander’s finances better than I do. You’re so smart and calculating, would you really let me take all his money? Think about it."

"I told you from the start," Emelia said emotionally. "What you spent on Xander was a loan from me." She tried to get up but couldn’t do it and fell back into her wheelchair.

Caitlin, who was always quick to care for Emelia, didn’t even glance at her. She kept staring at Chantelle instead.

Emelia’s face darkened just as Caitlin asked sharply, "You really paid for Xander’s medical bills?"

"That’s right," Chantelle said calmly. "His assets have been frozen for a while. If he doesn’t wake up soon, the bank will take his villa and sell it off. Didn’t you even know that?" She raised her eyebrows at her.

Caitlin’s eyes widened in shock. She really had no idea. She never looked into those things because she wanted to appear like the kind of girl who didn’t care about money, someone who loved Xander just for who he was.

She always believed that someone like Xander had to be wealthy.

"And another thing," Chantelle added. "He’s got a huge debt, tens of billions. Did you know that?"

Caitlin’s jaw dropped, but Emelia quickly grabbed her hand. "As long as Xander wakes up, he can pay off the debt."

"He’ll pay off his debt? Really?" We’re talking about billions here, not just a few hundred thousand. And he’s been bedridden for years. Do you honestly think he’ll wake up and live like a normal person again?" Caitlin gently pulled her hand away from Emelia’s. She wasn’t blaming her. She was just talking out loud.

But Emelia heard every word.

She couldn’t help but feel sad. For the past two years, Caitlin had stayed by her side and constantly said she loved Xander and would take care of him no matter what. Emelia had really believed her and felt touched by her devotion.

What she didn’t know was that Caitlin had her own hidden reasons all along.

"Are you satisfied now?" Emelia shot a glare at Chantelle.

Chantelle replied, "I’m only telling you this so you can see the true nature of the woman beside you. I’m not trying to gain anything. I told you before, Xander and I are just friends."

"You’re no different from Caitlin. You’re only saying that because Xander hasn’t woken up yet!" Emelia clenched her fists.

"I’m here to visit him. That’s all. You can think whatever you want," Chantelle said and started to walk toward the ward with the kids.

Emelia moved her wheelchair to block the door. "I told you before, you’re not allowed to see him! I already asked the high priest. He said you bring bad luck to him. Why can’t you just leave him alone? Why do you keep pushing him toward death?"

Chantelle was at a loss for words. She was almost certain it was Caitlin who had brought that so-called high priest to Emelia.

Suddenly, a sharp scream cut through their conversation.

"Oh no! What have you done to my face? You little brat, I’ll destroy you!"

Chantelle turned around and saw Caitlin raising her leg to kick Kane. Her heart dropped. She rushed over and kicked Caitlin hard in the knees.

There was a loud crack. Caitlin’s knees gave out instantly.

"Oh my god! She’s trying to kill me! Someone help! Save me!" Caitlin screamed in pain, clutching her knees as she collapsed on the floor.

Soon, doctors and nurses rushed over. Both Chantelle and Caitlin were taken away.

Before being wheeled off, Caitlin pointed at Kane with her manicured finger. "You little bastard! Officers, arrest him too!"

The police ignored her.
