Kicked Out by Her Billionaire Husband — She Returned Five Years Later With the Son He Never Knew Existed
Chapter 13
The family company entered a new era.
Victoria resigned from the board.
The investigation became public.
Olivia’s name was cleared completely.
She was offered a major leadership role in Sterling Development’s design division.

“More than I knew was possible.”
She nodded.
“He loves you too.”
Ethan turned.
“Does that mean…”
“Don’t get ahead of yourself.”
He laughed.

She looked at him.
“I still don’t know if I can trust you completely.”
“I understand.”
“But I trust you more than I did yesterday.”
He smiled.
“I’ll take it.”
She laughed.
And for the first time, she reached for his hand.
