Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240: Lady Bright

Silent whispers still echoed from Davis’s dramatic entrance even as the new post made its way to the hot search.

Taking a deep breath, Davis relaxed his back on the wheelchair as he scrolled leisurely through his phone.

He hadn’t expected it. It is baffling as well as surprising to him that from the confines of her sickbed, she had turned the tide when they aren’t even in country Y but in a new city Noveria. He hadn’t expected such a miracle from home.

But there it was.The tide had turned, and everyone knew it, his heart felt warm.

Her post was everywhere—viral, shared and reposted, comments flooding in like a tidal wave of support and curiosity flooded her handle.

#LadyBright, are you sure this company is reliable?" some queried.

#LadyBright, I’m rethinking my withdrawal. I’m investing higher!

#Did the haters just get slapped? Looks like J&D was sabotaged!

#If Lady Bright supports them, this company’s stronger than we thought.

#Is no one talking about how stunning she looks tonight in the dress? I wished I am at the launch to get a good view of the dress. I believe it must be her designs." Another post commented.

#LadyBright, will you marry me?#

#LadyBright, see you at the launch—let’s invest in success!#

A smile tugged at his lips as he read them one after another.

Davis paused on her last post she made about an hour ago with a selfie attached. Opening the image, he downloaded and saved to his phone in a quick and concise manner.

The soft hopeful message of success in her post pierced through Davis’s guarded composure.

His eyes drifted to the main entrance in anticipation "Could it mean... she’s coming?" he wondered in contemplation. His heart fluttering lightly.

"Or worse... did she already arrive?" he pondered with growing tension. His eyes scanning round the room.

"She shouldn’t push herself—not when she’s been so ill." But knowing Jessica, she would move mountains if it meant protecting those she loved.

Not healthy... yet trying to show up for him.

His chest tightened. Under the mask, his eyes stung, the burn threatening to betray him. He blinked it back.

Davis couldn’t help but wonder what good deed he’d done to deserve a wife like her. Even when the sky threatened to collapse, she was the one holding it up for him.

She stood between him and ruin with an unshakable determination and confidence. When the world tried to bury him, she held the sky above his head.

He wanted nothing more than to pull her into a tight embrace, to thank her with no words, only presence. But she hadn’t come. Or... had she?

He thought of how hard it must’ve been for her—sick, drowsy, and weak to even take this photo, let alone dragging a weak body to the gala just to save the day.

He made a silent vow to find out who had tried to destroy them... and make them pay. Dearly.

Letting out a long sigh, Davis returned his focus to his phone.

Meanwhile, inside the hall, the gala resumed its earlier elegance with series of events initially planned been rolled out in order.

Also in the hall, someone else was taken aback as he viewed the trending post—Alex.

His mouth hung open in disbelief. He hadn’t expected Davis to have business ties to Lady Bright—The elusive designer-tycoon? The social media sensation? Let alone her public support or potential appearance at the launch.

With her ability, she had just handed Davis the upper hand.

He recovered quickly and walked toward Davis, his expression guarded with intrigue. Alex made his way toward Davis and took a seat beside him and both of them discussed quietly about the situation of the launch. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

The sight of them talking stirred a ripple through the crowd. Their expression one of disbelief. If Alex Gondalo, heir and CEO of the Gondalo Group, is discussing seriously with the masked man in a wheelchair, then whoever this man was... must be powerful.

Meanwhile Davis noting the sly smirk tugging at Alex’s lips, had a foreboding of something coming up and braced himself for it.

Then came the bombshell. "You have to help me tonight."

"Help you with what?" Davis asked, confused and contemplatively because as long as tonight matters, he is the one needing all possible help to get through.

"Lady Bright," Alex said flatly.

The words dropped like thunder, Davis breath quickened lightly. His mind swirling with several reasons why Alex will need help to approach Lady Bright—his wife.

Though his mind raced, Davis’ expression remained indifferent as though it had nothing to do with him.

He neither confirmed nor denied. He didn’t need to respond—because fate chose that moment to make an announcement nobody had expected.

Outside, a sleek black luxury car glided to a stop at the edge of the red carpet. The flashes from the cameras started even before the door opened as the press clamored for who to capture the first news of the arrival of the design veteran.

The collective gaze of the guests snapped toward the entrance, a thought crossing their minds as quiet whispers and astonishment coursed through the hall.
