The CEO’s Ex-Wife Is A Famous Doctor By LiLhyz Chapter 127: New Revelation

Two months passed. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

At twenty-seven weeks, Shantelle’s stomach looked like she was about to give birth. However, since she had twins, it was normal for her belly to grow like a watermelon at that point.

Shantelle struggled as she exited the car with Evan, her hand carrying her tummy’s weight. She sighed and said, “Remind me why we came here?”

“To support your friend, Karise,” Evan responded before chuckling. He winked at his wife and added, “If it were up to me, I’d rather cuddle with you, naked in bed.”

“Pfft!” Brushing off her husband’s naughty thoughts, she said, “Right. Karise. n

Shantelle would rather be at home too, resting on that fine weekend. However, it was a special day for Karise and a big move for Keith.

Keith was going to introduce Karise to his parents, and Shantelle had to show her friend her support. Evan was doing the same for Keith. He was thrilled that Keith was seriously moving on from Shantelle.

That day was Keith’s father’s birthday, Mister Charles Henderson. Since his retirement, Charles Henderson and his wife, Helen, have been traveling around the world, leaving the business in Keith’s care. However, to celebrate his seventieth birthday, Charles and his wife returned to be with family and friends.

As the couple walked into the Hendersons’ mansion, Evan put his arm around Shantelle’s waist. Only a few guests were invited, and they all settled behind the house, where a long table had been set up, facing the swimming pool.

Shantelle saw Karise sitting on one side. She and Evan settled next to her.

“This is it!” Shantelle said to Karise.

From afar, the couple saw Keith chatting with relatives, but not long before, he approached the table, greeting, “Evan, Shantelle, thank you for coming. Dad is expecting you, Evan.”

Sitting next to Karise, Keith asked, “Babe, you ready?”

Karise put a hand over her chest and replied, “Babe, I’m nervous.”

Keith chuckled and pecked her cheek. He assured her, “Don’t be. You look gorgeous and sexy as hell – oh, there they are.”

From the corner of Keith’s eyes, he saw his parents walk out of the house. Much to his dismay, they were with Larry Mitchel, one of the owners of Channel 5, a local TV network. Next to Larry was Lola Mitchel, his daughter.

It made Keith uneasy because Lola was one of the girls he casually dated and dumped after three days a year ago. He had that strange feeling that something was off.

Before he could think of an answer, Sean and Wendell arrived. Keith and his group of friends were immediately immersed in a conversation.

Soon, Keith’s parents settled in their seats, and to Keith’s shock, the Mitchells occupied the seats opposite to them. Lola was especially giving him a flirtatious grin.

“Evan, nice to see you, young man. I am so proud of what you have become, and Shantelle, who would have known you and Evan would get back together,” Charles Henderson said. He turned to Keith and remarked,” I guess things aren’t meant to be.”

He directed his attention to Shantelle, saying, “With us, I mean.”

Shantelle and Evan had an inkling of what Keith’s father meant but simply evaded the topic. Evan said, “Keeping our friendship. That was meant to be. M

The man put his arm around his wife, saying, ”We prefer not bringing up our difficult past, Uncle Charles. Happy birthday and may you have more birthdays to come.”

“I’ll try my best,” Charles acknowledged.

After Charles and his wife greeted all the visitors, Keith’s father announced, “Thank you for coming to my birthday. Aside from this special occasion, my wife and I want to make an announcement.”

He advised Keith to stand up, and Charles resumed, “My son, the CEO of Prima MedCare is engaged to Larry Mitchell’s daughter, Lola Mitchell!”

Shantelle’s mouth fell open while Evan grimaced.

To those who did not know Karise, they clapped their hands, happy for Keith. However, half of the surrounding people stilled, especially Karise. She has yet to be formally introduced, yet Keith’s father was already making a statement by giving Keith a socialite as a fiance!

“There is a mistake here, Dad,” Keith immediately said. He turned to everyone at the table and corrected, “There is a mistake because Miss Mitchell is not my girlfriend.”

Keith ignored the frowns of the Mitchels and held Karise, urging her to stand with him instead. To everyone, he introduced, “This is Karise Myers, and she is my girlfriend. I’ve been linked to many women, but only Karise has made me consider settling down. I would rather marry her than any other woman out there.”

Keith gave an apologetic look and added, “My father may have misunderstood who my girlfriend is.”

“There is no mistake because I will never allow a nobody into our family!” Charles said in anger, startling everyone at the table.

Shantelle, for one, felt her skin crawl in anger. She was the first who react,” Excuse me, but Karise is my friend. She is a well-respected analytical chemist at Hues Pharmaceuticals. She has an admirable job and a good family background. How could you call her a nobody?”

Charles must not have known about Karise’s connection with Shantelle since he leaned back at the revelation. After a second, Charles replied,” This is not about you, Shantelle, but about keeping the family’s wealth and prestige intact!”

“Which reputable and wealthy family does she come from?” Charles turned to Keith and suggested, “Whereas Lola here is the daughter of Larry Mitchell. She is more suited to be with you, son

“But I don’t love her, Dad. I love Karise!” Keith countered. “And you cannot force me to be with someone else. Do you forget that I am now the company’s CEO and have been for years? The company board of directors acknowledges me, and I hold forty percent of the company’s shares.”

“I am your father. Do not defy me!” Charles said, shocked by Keith’s reply.

“If you go on with this path, Uncle Charles, Mister Mitchell, you will make an enemy out of me,” Finally, Evan said. He calmly got up and held his wife’s hand. He pointed to the two older men and said, “You are only upsetting my wife!”

“Keith is not marrying Lola. He will instead marry Karise!” Evan demanded.” If you push what you want, I will cut ties with Prima MedCare and Channel 5!”

“Let’s go.” Evan wasted no time and addressed his friends. “I think we are all done here. Let’s go to my house and have dinner there instead! We will celebrate Charles’ birthday elsewhere.”

The man purposely called Keith’s father by his first name, utterly angered by his attempt to control Keith.

“You will support Keith, Evan? Is that it? You should know that he betrayed you for Shantelle. He paid off the investigator you hired to look for

Shantelle! That’s how you never found her, because your investigator never searched!” Charles declared, his voice strengthening by the second. “You should not support Keith’s madness over this woman because he is not someone worthy of your friendship and protection!”

Charles laughed at Keith. He said, “Sorry, son, but you left me with no choice. Evan won’t support you now. With Evan as your enemy, the board of directors will kick you out in no time!” 3

“What can you do? You simply need to dump that lowborn and be with Lola, ” Charles said. “What do you say, Keith?”

While Charles tried to intimidate his son, Keith’s gaze was fixed on Evan. Keith said, “Evan. Evan, I’m sorry, but that’s over now. It’s all in the past. It was when Doctor Scott warned me about not telling you where Shantelle was – please, let’s forget about it!”

Charles smiled, seeing Evan suck in a deep breath, the man’s nose flaring angrily.

Shantelle, on the other hand, was stunned at the new revelation. She had heard about how Keith held out on her location, but this was the first time she learned about the investigator. 2

Sensing the air around them turn rigid, Shantelle shifted to her husband, grabbing his face. She whispered, “It’s enough. Let’s not go back to that, Evan.”

Wendell and Sean were also afraid of the new revelation that surfaced. Heck, they were done with this drama. They were all back at the boys’ club. They all wondered if Evan would give in and stir another

fight with Keith. Evan’s jaws clenched. He glanced at Keith and said, “Keith-
