Reborn as Mr.CEO's Fat Wife-Chapter 373 - : What Kind of True Love is This!
Chapter 373 -373: What Kind of True Love is This!
After hearing her mother’s words, Ruby Green pondered for a moment and sent a message to Adam Piers.
Ruby’s feelings toward Adam were very complicated.
If it wasn’t for going to the charity gala with him last time, she wouldn’t have injected her leg with drugs; her leg wouldn’t be completely paralyzed. Despite all she had sacrificed, the promised diamond from Adam never came.
In the end, she received nothing for her leg and lost face at the charity gala.
Thinking about it made Ruby resentful towards Adam.
On the other side, Adam had been confined to his villa by his father after being tricked by Brandon Piers and was bored to death. When he suddenly saw a message from Ruby about a potential collaboration, he was first surprised, then replied with a question mark.
Seeing his reply, Ruby nearly threw her phone. But she held back. “Master Adam, haven’t you always wanted to deal with Second Young Master? I have something to show you.”
Adam, lying back in discomfort, squatted on the sofa with his phone. Seeing that Ruby mentioned Brandon, his interest was piqued immediately. “Send it over.”
Ruby was speechless.
She hadn’t even negotiated terms yet.
But she had no leverage at that moment. Hesitating briefly, she sent the video to Adam.
Adam opened the video, first seeing Lincoln Green in a hospital bed. Then Rose Taylor, like an old serpent, wrapped herself around Lincoln, tearfully pouring out her feelings. Suddenly, she turned and knelt before Abigail Green, begging Abigail to spare their family.
“Ha,” Adam couldn’t help his renewed interest, curious about how Brandon would react. He sneered, thinking someone like Abigail would surely fall for this act. But in the next moment, he was utterly surprised.
Abigail, looking at Brandon, asked, “If I kick their family out of the hospital, will you think I’m unreasonable?”
“You don’t need to.”
Then Adam saw Pullan, lifting Lincoln and Rose like chickens, taking them away.
He then heard Abigail tell Brandon, “What do I do? I suddenly realize I’m quite vicious.”
Adam nodded. This was self-awareness from Abigail. But what Brandon said next caught him off guard. “How can you deserve me if you’re not vicious?”
“Damn it!” The video ended, and Adam shouted. “What a true love!”
He had thought Brandon was merely putting on a show when celebrating Abigail’s birthday last time. But this video showed he was too naive.
He could never comprehend the world of these people. Brandon really liked Abigail and even threw Lincoln, who almost secured a potential five percent of Piers’ shares, out of the hospital for her.
No wonder Lincoln had rushed to Midsummer Trust seeking shares. It was due to Brandon’s provocation.
Yet why did Ruby send him this video?
The dialogue indicated that these two dangerous people had teamed up, each more lethal than the other. What was a kid like him supposed to do?
Everyone knew about Lincoln and the Taylor family’s fallout these past days. Although he had been confined at home, he kept up with the news. He certainly knew that Lincoln’s legal team was backed by Brandon Piers. If he surfaced now, it would be asking for trouble. His previous diamond would indeed have been given in vain.
Moreover, if Ruby’s video could be publicized, she wouldn’t have come to him. Adam, laughing deviously, replied with two words: “Thanks.”
Then he blocked Ruby, pondering briefly before laughing again and sending the video to Oliver Piers. “Uncle, I’ve got some big news!”
After waiting at the Green’s Mansion for a long time, Ruby, having received only those two words, exploded with rage, throwing her phone. “Bastard! Not a single person in the Piers family is any good!”
Rose’s face turned pale. With hopes shattered, they really were out of options. But then Rose had a sudden idea. “‘Period,’ the hacker you mentioned, isn’t he one of the top hackers globally? We could ask him to hack those Twitter celebrities’ accounts and spread the video.”
Ruby shook her head. “He said he’s been tracked and is constantly hiding. I’ve tried contacting him several times without success.”
Rose collapsed completely, unable to get back up.
…
Seven days later, the court session began.
With Brandon Piers’ influence behind the scenes, the procedures moved very quickly.
Despite his poor health, Lincoln Green still made it to court.
Rose, exhausted by the public scrutiny and the impending lawsuit, had lost all of her former elegance.
But what scared her more wasn’t the divorce itself—it was Lincoln’s accusation of attempted murder.
She didn’t know how much evidence Lincoln had gathered. But any amount was unbearable. So as soon as she saw him, she rushed over in tears, “Honey, honey, let’s not divorce. It was all a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding…”
But this time, no matter how much Rose cried, Lincoln’s old, suddenly aged face remained expressionless, looking both ill and indifferent.
Frantic, Rose grabbed his arm, shaking him. “Honey, are you listening to me? I love you; I really do.”
This finally made Lincoln’s tired eyes look at Rose.
Believing she had a glimmer of hope, Rose clung to his hand even tighter, like a drowning person clutching at their last piece of driftwood. “Honey, I love you; please believe me!”

“Get out!”
Lincoln’s firm voice commanded Rose to get out. Then, due to agitation, he uncontrollably coughed.
If in the past, Lincoln would have melted hearing such a confession from Rose. But after all that had transpired, he knew she never loved him. She only manipulated him.
If he weren’t detrimental to her now, would she beg him like this?
Or was she only pleading because she couldn’t harm him anymore? She was just trying to provoke his sympathy. But who would have sympathy for his daughter?
Who would rescue his daughter?
Lincoln wanted to cry out, but feeling the eyes from the audience, he turned and saw Abigail watching him silently. Overwhelmed with sorrow, he turned back and sat at the plaintiff’s table, never looking at Rose again.
Abigail didn’t expect Lincoln to decisively command Rose to get out. Seeing Rose frozen in place, she guessed Rose never thought Lincoln would treat her like that!
What a pity!
When someone trades sincerity for insincerity, it may work for a time but will never last.
Abigail did not deny that Lincoln once loved Rose. But Rose didn’t comprehend that feelings can be exhausted, especially the shallow ones men have.
