Capturing the Millionaire’s Heart on Divorce Day novel Chapter 157

Chapter 0157 

“Madison, you wretched woman! Are you toying with me? Now that you’ve climbed up the social ladder, you dare to deceive me? Who do you think you are? If it wasn’t for your passable looks, do you think Ethan would have spared you a second glance? He’s just using you because you can fly a plane, because you’re useful! Do you really see yourself as a phoenix who’s ascended to the treetops? 

“Pah! I’m actually relieved I dropped you. I’d rather pay for company than touch you again, you shameless hussy! Harlot!” 

Over the phone, Lucas raved like a man unhinged, spewing every vile insult at Madison he could muster. 

Madison, unfazed, did not hang up. Instead, she recorded the tirade, choosing not to interrupt his vulgar outburst. 

“Why aren’t you saying anything? Planning to run to Ethan and tattle, to make him fight your battles again, are you? You’re truly venomous!” 

“Madison, I curse you. May you never find happiness, scorned and spat upon by everyone… You-” 

The call was abruptly cut off by Madison, who preserved the recording. 

She ended the call because she anticipated Lucas’s next move would be to curse her future offspring. How he berated her meant nothing-she had long stopped caring. But she wouldn’t tolerate any curses directed at her children. 

Preferring to avoid unnecessary drama, Madison had always sought to keep things low-key, but Lucas was pushing things too far. She suspected Ethan had dealt with him, triggering such a volatile 

Without a moment’s hesitation, she crafted the recording into a video and posted it to her F******k page, which, thanks to the influence of Mukino International and Ethan, boasted over a million. followers. Some fans even daily checked in on her last relationship announcement, accumulating over a hundred thousand comments. 

Madison’s accompanying text was succinct: 

[Human nature thoroughly dissected and displayed in full scope.] 

[Audio recording at 00:42 seconds.] 

Post. 

No sooner had the post gone live than the doors to the villa swung 

open. 

Madison dropped her phone and turned around. 

“Did you get hurt?” 

Ethan instinctively shook his head, then paused, “You knew?” 

Madison gave him a thorough once-over, confirming he bore no visible injuries before answering, “I guessed as much.” 

“You got a call from Lucas?” 

“Ah.” She pondered a moment, “Yes, one.” 

“What did he say?” 

Madison returned to the sofa and played back the recording. 

Ethan’s brows knitted tighter with each vile word Lucas spat out, regretting he hadn’t been harder on the scoundrel. 

“Let me handle this. It’s between him and me now.” 

stayed silent then realized, “You didn’t go see him just to

get me off the hook, did you?” 

Ethan didn’t answer, stepping out to the balcony to light a cigarette 

and call Michael. 

“What’s the plan, boss?” Michael’s voice came through, lazy as ever. 

Through a haze of smoke, Ethan’s eyes smoldered with fury,” 

Calculate the market price for Envoy Air, then find someone reliable to purchase it on my behalf.” 

Michael knew him too well to miss the undertone of his request. 

“I don’t work for free, you know.” 

“Handle it well, and you name your price.” 

“Deal!” 

After wrapping up with Michael, Ethan’s screen flashed with a call from Mason. 

His father calling? Ethan hesitated before answering with a distant tone, “What’s up?” 

“Can’t I call without a reason?” Mason assumed the paternal high ground. 

Ethan nearly hung up, but a memory of his mother’s dying letter held him back, “Speak, then.” 

“Dinner at home tomorrow night.” 

Mason hung up as if the matter were settled, leaving Ethan staring at his phone, recalling the housekeeper’s recent news: Mason was ill. 

“What’s wrong?” Madison approached the balcony without stepping 

out.
