Billionaire's Unforgettable Ex-Wife-Chapter 166 - 135: Making Her Soul Completely Unable to Return to Her Body 2

Chapter 166: Chapter 135: Making Her Soul Completely Unable to Return to Her Body 2

"Oh, I see. In that case, I won’t call her. Let her focus on her work.

Alright, Uncle Rivers, it’s getting late. You should get some rest too.

I’ll go play with those two little ones for a bit."

"Yes, young miss."

Faye casually went back to play with the kids.

The children’s rooms were all tidied up, but when it was bedtime, they insisted on sleeping with their mother, so Faye had to give in.

After coaxing the kids to sleep, she called Declan Rivers to inquire about the current state of the company.

After getting a rough idea, it was already past eleven at night.

The next morning, she got up early while the two children were still fast asleep holding each other.

She kissed each of them on the forehead, then went downstairs to wash up, eat, and leave the house.

According to what Declan Rivers said yesterday.

She hadn’t been to the company for several days, and her whereabouts were a hot topic of discussion.

The higher-ups in the company had also started to get a bit restless in recent days.

If it weren’t for Oliver Turner holding the fort, the Townsend Group would likely have been in chaos.

When she appeared at the company, Brielle Golden, who had arrived earlier, was taken aback to see her.

"Director Townsend, when did you come back?"

Faye smiled at Brielle Golden: "I came back last night. It must have been tough for all of you while I was away."

"Don’t say that, Director Townsend. We’re just doing our duty."

Faye nodded and was about to enter her office.

"Let me know when Director Turner gets here."

"Of course, Director Townsend."

"Also, bring in the documents I need to sign that I’ve been putting off."

"Sure."

Faye was busy for quite some time, reviewing and signing the necessary documents before leaving the office.

"Secretary Li, has Director Turner not arrived yet?"

Brielle stood up: "No, Director Townsend, his secretary hasn’t called yet."

"Alright... never mind, I’ll call him instead. You two keep busy."

She made a call while heading to Oliver Turner’s office.

When the call connected, Faye laughed and said: "Oliver, are you not at the company today?"

"There’s a contract to review here in Theodore Avery’s office, so I’m handling business matters here. I’ll be over soon."

"Alright, hurry over. I’m waiting for you at the company."

"You’re back?" Oliver Turner’s voice was tinged with excitement.

Faye chuckled: "Yes, I returned last night."

"Why didn’t you tell me then?"

Faye thought for a moment: "I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it. Anyway... we would have seen each other today anyway."

"Did Miya let you go? She might feel upset that you came back right after her surgery."

"I brought both of them back with me.

This way, I can feel more at ease."

"Is Miya’s health...?"

"She’s doing fine, don’t worry. Miya is a fortunate child."

"Good, as long as you’re in good spirits, I feel relieved too.

Wait a bit for me; I’ll be there soon."

"Alright."

After hanging up, Faye had reached the door of Oliver Turner’s office.

He always used his own secretary, so the secretary had gone with him to Theodore Avery’s office.

She entered his office to wait for him.

Just as she sat in his executive chair, her phone rang.

Looking at the caller ID, she saw it was Richard Townsend calling.

"Hello."

"I heard you’re back?" Richard’s tone was as sarcastic as ever.

Faye glanced at the wall clock: "Wow, it’s only ten and you’re calling me.

Looks like you’re up early today."

"Stop mocking me. Why did you come back? I thought you’d be in Switzerland for a while longer."

Playing? If it were truly for fun, that would have been nice.

"Why are you calling me?"

"Why so aggressive? When you chat with those guys, you’re so calm and composed.

Why do you act all hostile with me?

I’m your brother, not your enemy."

Faye was speechless, might as well be an enemy.

"So, why are you calling me?

Surely not because you didn’t remember before that you’re my brother but suddenly remembered today,

so you want to treat me to a meal to welcome me back?

I sincerely doubt your intentions are that kind."

"You’re right not to believe it. I wasn’t planning to give you any welcome.

If I have time, I’d rather spend it with my several girlfriends.

I called to confirm something.

If you’re really back, I guess I’ll have to return to the days of being controlled by your economic power.

Isn’t that what you like doing, using financial control to restrain me?"

"Exactly, so I’m planning a meeting in half an hour. If you don’t show up, I’ll dock your salary for this month."

With that, Faye hung up the phone abruptly.

Unbelievable, he can’t go a day without provoking her.

If that’s the case, she might as well play along with his game.

After all, he’s just a clueless fool.

Faye put the phone back in her pocket.

Her gaze fell on the desk before her.

A photo peeked out from under a folder.

Curiously, she wondered why Oliver Turner would have such a thing on his desk.

She casually pulled out the photo for a look, and in that instant, her heart skipped a beat.

This... wasn’t it her and Hunter Warren at their doorstep in Switzerland?

How could Oliver Turner have this photo?

Could it be that he... had someone tailing her?

With that thought, Faye couldn’t help but feel a chill down her spine.

Faye took out the rest of the photos from under the folder.

Dozens of photos, including ones of her and Hunter Warren together at the hospital caring for the child.

Photos of them dining together.

Pictures of just her.

In the days after Oliver Turner left Switzerland, her every move had seemingly been watched.

But there were none from the subsequent days.

Her heart pounded wildly.

She couldn’t understand why Oliver had felt the need to monitor her.

When did this behavior begin?

For a while, she had felt like she was being followed — did it start then?

What was his purpose in doing this?

Faye returned the photos as they were and left Oliver Turner’s office.

In a state of panic, she returned to her own office, but her mind could not be at peace.

During this period, Oliver Turner had almost daily called her.

He would ask how she was doing, how Miya was, how their life was going.

Yet never once had he asked if Hunter Warren was there with her.

She disliked living under someone else’s surveillance, as this invisible control was unsettling.

Declan Rivers knocked on the door outside: "Director Townsend, I have a document for you to review."

Faye took a deep breath: "Come in."

Declan Rivers came in and handed her the document, which she briefly reviewed before signing her name.

She closed the file and handed it back to Declan Rivers.

Noticing her troubled expression, he worriedly asked: "Faye, what’s wrong? Ever since you got back, you haven’t looked well."

Faye shook her head: "It’s nothing."

"Faye, you’re acting strange. If something is bothering you, you can talk about it.

Although my abilities are limited, I’ll do my best to help you."

Faye thought for a moment and said: "Declan, do you know anyone good at detective work?"

Declan Rivers nodded: "I have a friend who’s really good in this field."

"I’ve just been feeling like... someone is watching me.

Could you ask your friend to tail me for a few days to see if there’s any suspicious person around me?"

Declan Rivers became a bit more nervous and asked: "Do you know who’s been following you?

They won’t harm you, will they?"

Faye shook her head: "They probably won’t. I’ve had this feeling of being followed for a long time, but I’ve never encountered any danger.

So it seems... they don’t intend to harm me.

Which makes me curious about their motive.

It’s also possible that I’m being paranoid.

But as the saying goes, better safe than sorry."

Declan Rivers nodded: "You’re right, Faye. Rest assured, I’ll have my friend work on this properly."

"Keep this matter confidential. No third person should know.

And don’t tell Uncle Rivers; I don’t want to worry him."

"Understood, Faye."

Faye nodded, and Declan Rivers bowed: "Faye, I’ll be off then."

"Alright."

After Declan Rivers left, Faye took a sip from her teacup.

Yes, before she clarified the matter, she shouldn’t let her imagination run wild. She needed to stay calm and not lose her composure.

Just as she calmed herself down, there was a knock on the door, and Brielle said: "Director Townsend, Director Turner is here to see you."

"Please come in."

Oliver Turner walked in, his silver-gray suit highlighting his fine demeanor.

He spread his arms: "Faye, welcome back."

Faye stood up and smiled, walking over to hug him.

After they parted, Oliver looked at her face and sighed softly: "You look quite worn out.

If I hadn’t returned and stayed there to help, maybe I could have lightened your burden."

Faye turned and walked over to the sofa, lifting an eyebrow with a subtle twinkle in her eye: "It’s just as well you left, or else it would’ve become a mess."

"How so?"

"The day you left, Hunter Warren came by.

I don’t know how he managed to win over the two little ones, but Darnley let him stay at my place.

He even went to the hospital and won Miya’s heart with some Mr. Dreamy doll.

Those days... were really nerve-wracking."

As Faye was speaking, Brielle entered to deliver some tea, and Faye personally poured Oliver a cup.

As he reached for the teacup, her eyes subtly scanned his face.

There was no change in his expression.

The reason she brought up Hunter Warren first was to avoid him questioning if she was hiding something from him.

If he were to ask first, it would put her in a passive position.

She didn’t like that.

As long as she could still decide the pace, she preferred to take the initiative.

"I never thought Hunter Warren would actually go all the way to Switzerland this time."

Faye picked up her teacup and smiled: "You’re not surprised at all.
