Mr. CEO's Ex-Wife: A Cunning Comeback-Chapter 56 - : Impressive Acting Skills

Daniel hadn't listened to a single word she said that night.

The rain had poured relentlessly, but he didn't care.

Kate Bently came first. She was the only one he believed.

Without a second thought, he had abandoned her and their unborn children, leaving them to die.

A wave of emotions crashed over her.

Her grip tightened around the invitation until it crumpled in her hand.

She didn't even notice that her knuckles had turned white.

The invitation was already crushed in her hand.

A notification lit up her phone, pulling her back to reality.

Kane's chat box appeared.

A photo of Kate looking pitiful as she tugged on Daniel's sleeve popped up.

So, he had brought his delicate little princess home. 

He must have been heartbroken to see her humiliated.

Yet, he had never cared about Chantelle or their children. 

Their survival had been nothing more than luck.

What were you expecting, Chantelle?

Realizing this, she let out a long sigh.

It felt like relief—mixed with disappointment.

She crushed the invitation into a ball and tossed it aside.

Moving to the sofa, she picked up her phone and typed a message.

"Be careful in the Wilson household, brat. Stay away from Kate. Got it?"

Kane's reply came instantly.

"Don't worry, Mom. I'm not letting that bad woman near me."

"Good boy."

Something felt off.

Kane was being too obedient today.

As his parent, it almost felt unreal.

She felt anxious, thinking about her son.

She quickly sent another message.

"How are you planning to deal with her?"

"Hehe, secret!"

Before she could react, Kane had unsented the message.

Chantelle stared at the screen, stunned.

She knew it! He was never that obedient.

Chantelle rubbed her temples and sent another message, but Kane had already decided to ignore her. He read it yet didn't reply at all.

Frustration turned to worry. Without wasting another second, she packed up her laptop and rushed out the door.

****

Wilson Residence.

Kane's eyes widened when he realized his mistake.

He had accidentally sent that text to Chantelle.

Panicking, he quickly switched his smartwatch to silent and stuffed it into his pocket.

He repeated a mantra in his head.

Mom didn't notice. Mom didn't notice...

After a while, he checked his phone again.

No new messages from Chantelle.

He let out a sigh of relief.

False alarm. She didn't find out my plan!

Feeling reassured, he grabbed his binoculars and scanned the yard.

Only the bodyguards remained.

Everyone else had gone inside.

He should go downstairs and check.

Grabbing his beloved Baymax plushie, Kane ran out of his room.

He had assumed Kate would be staying near his scumbag father.

But when he got there, the hallway was empty. Even his scumbag dad was nowhere to be found.

The residence was massive, and it was already midnight.

The servants had long since gone to bed.

With his short legs, who knew how long it would take to find them?

Just as worry crept in, a delicious smell drifted through the air.

Someone's in the kitchen this late?

Curious, he decided to check it out.

When he reached the kitchen, he found exactly who he was looking for—Kate.

What was that horrible woman doing in the kitchen? 

Curious, Kane crept closer.

Kate had rushed through her shower and was now setting up a meal—steak and red wine.

She smiled to herself. Tonight will be perfect.

She was sure she would win Daniel over.

Just as she was about to finish, a small voice interrupted her.

"What are you doing, Auntie Kate?"

Kate jumped at the sudden voice, nearly spilling the wine in her hand.

She spun around, scowling. "What are you doing sneaking up on me, you little brat?!"

It was late, and no servants were around. She didn't bother pretending anymore.

She was about to take the tray up to Daniel, but Kane stood in front of her, blocking her path.

His eyes twinkled with mischief.

"What did you make, Auntie Kate? It smells really good!"

Kane blinked up at her, swallowing loudly.

"I made this for your daddy. Looks good, doesn't it?" Kate smirked, still basking in her own cooking skills.

But before she could enjoy the moment, the little brat suddenly reached for the plate.

She reacted just in time, shoving him back.

"What do you think you're doing?!" she snapped.

"Ah!" Kane yelped as he hit the hard marble floor.

He winced, glaring at Kate. That fall hurt!

How stingy could she be to shove him like that? 

Kate, however, didn't care.

Annoyed that he was in her way, she even considered kicking him aside.

"Keep your hands to yourself. Don't cause trouble, or else..." she warned him.

But Kane wasn't done yet.

Sitting on the floor, he looked up at her with teary eyes.

"Hug, Auntie Kate..."

He wasn't just acting; he knew she had probably bullied his mute little brother.

So, if she wanted to play games, he would play along.

And his acting had never been better.

Kane stretched out his arms, motioning for a hug.

Kate let out a mocking laugh.

"You want me to hug you? How shameless can you be? I've told you to stop clinging to me. Are you stupid? Get up and quit acting pathetic!"

She shot him a look of pure disgust before turning toward the stairs.

But Kane wasn't letting her off that easily.

"You bullied me! I'm telling Daddy!" he shouted, crossing his arms defiantly.

"Me? Bullying you?" Kate stopped in her tracks and her eyes flashed with anger.

"You little brat, are you sure you're not the one doing the bullying?!" she hissed, turning to glare at him.

Rai had always been mute, but he knew how to throw tantrums.

Whenever she pretended to get hurt while taking care of him, Daniel would shower her with attention.

Then, she would serve the spiked steak and wine... It was the perfect plan!

So what if the brat complained? Let him cry all he wanted! 

Without hesitation, Kate dumped the wine onto herself, smashed the glass on the floor, and pressed her hand against the shards.

Blood dripped from her fingers. She smeared some on her face before dramatically collapsing onto the floor.

Kane stared at her and was completely stunned.

Her acting was next level! 

Even he, a future Oscar-winning star in the making, had to admit—he was impressed.
