Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival by Jobet GraySon - Chapter 132
Chapter 132
Richard strode into Elena’s office, a stern expression etched on his face as he faced his elder sister.
The air crackled with tension as he wasted no time in demanding answers. “Elena, care to explain why
you called me here? What’s this about saving Marlene from Kayden?”
Elena raised an eyebrow at Richard’s brusque tone, a hint of anusement dancing in her eyes. “Ah, Richard, always so quick to
get straight to the point. As much as | appreciate it, a simple ‘hello’ wouldn’t hurt, you know.” She allowed a small smirk to play
on her lips before continuing, “But fine, let’s get to the point. Sit down, and I’ll explain.”
Richard rolled his eyes but complied, his impatience evident in his voice. “Don’t you try to mess with me, Elena? I’m not in the
mood. Just tell me why I’m here and why you want me to save Marlene of all people. You know how much | despise her and that
crazy bastard she’s married to, so why exactly do you think I’m obligated to care about whether or not he wants to kill her?”
Elena leaned back in her chair, a thoughtful look crossing her features as she regarded her brother. “Richard, | understand why
you hate both of them, but this situation is not about acting on your personal feelings. Kayden intends on killing that woman, but
before that happens, | want you to stop it.”
Richard’s eyebrows shot up in disbelief. “And so what? What do their marital problems have to do with me, and why should |
care if he wants to take out his own wife? It seems like their mess to me, and to be honest, | would be happy if he took her out
because that would mean | have one less problem.”
Elena let out a chuckle, a glint of mischief in her eyes as she leaned forward. “This is the difference between you and me, Pietro.
You’re way too emotional, and you always choose to work hard. on the other hand, work smart. Which is why | called you. | have
a plan, but you need to trust me on this.”
Richard’s skepticism was palpable as he leaned back in his seat, arms crossed. “What plan, Elena? And why should | trust you
when you’ve been keeping tabs on Kayden’s every move, despite how you made i seem like you couldn’t care less about
Kayden and what he did to Giorgia and me? You even saved the life of someone he killed and sent him to me as a present, like it
was nothing. What exactly are you up to, Elena? What twisted game are you trying to play?”
With a sly smile, Elena leaned back, the pieces of her plan falling into place in her mind. “Oh, Richard, you’re way too dramatic
and emotional. And someone like you will never understand my methods. | take the easy way and the smart way, and that’s why
I’m steps ahead of you. It’s nota
twisted game; it’s simply a more efficient alternative.”
Richard scoffed, shaking his head in disbelief. “Efficient? Right. Keep your efficiency talk to yourself, and just tell me why | should
care about saving Marlene from Kayden’s madness. They’re both two idiots who can kill themselves for all | care, and since I’m
pretty sure you’re not telling me to save her because you care about her, | want to know what’s going through that demented
mind of
yours.”
Elena’s demeanor shifted, her expression turning serious as she looked at her brother. “Well, you’re not wrong. | don’t know
Marlene, nor do | care to know about her. But it turns out that she is the only person who can make Kayden feel fear, and
because of this, he wants her dead. And that wouldn’t be good, because keeping her alive traps Kayden, so we need to save her
life.”
Richard’s brow furrowed in confusion as he stared at Elena, a quizzical expression on his face. “Elena,
what on earth are you talking about? Kayden is afraid of Marlene? That doesn’t make any sense at
all. Those diabolical idiots are married, so why would he be afraid of her?”
Elena let out a sigh, running a hand through her hair in frustration. “I know it sounds unbelievable,
Richard, but it’s the truth. Kayden is genuinely terrified of Marlene. He sees her as a threat, and
she’s the one person who can truly challenge him and make him feel like he’d lose. That’s why he’s so
desperate to get rid of her. He doesn’t want her to have that power over him.”
Richard shook his head in disbelief, trying to process the information. “I still don’t get it. How
can Kayden be afraid of Marlene? As far as | know, he has always been the bigger bully, the more
ruthless one. Why would he fear her of all people? She’s nobody.”
Elena raised an eyebrow at Richard’s question, a tinge of impatience in her voice. “Richard,
sometimes fear is not about physical strength. Marlene has something—some leverage, some power-« Kayden that makes him
quake in his boots. Trust me, | have my sources, and I’m not wrong. | may not know her well, but | know enough to know that
she’s a bigger psychopath than Kayden.”
Richard’s confusion deepened, and his skepticism was evident in his tone. “And how do you know all
this, Elena? What exactly have you found out that | don’t know? Because from where I’m standing, it
all sounds too far-fetched.”
Elena let out a frustrated groan, her patience wearing thin. “Richard, stop questioning every detail.
Richard leaned back in his chair, studying Elena with a skeptical gaze. “Elena, forgive me for being cautious, but this all sounds a
bit too convenient. How can you be so sure about Kayden’s fear of Marlene? It just doesn’t add up, except, of course, you have
some sort of relationship with Kayden, which | wouldn’t put past you.”
Elena frowned at Richard’s words, a hint of false bewilderment in her eyes. “Richard, what are you implying? That | have some
secret connection to Kayden? That we’re friends or something?” She let out a disbelieving chuckle. “That’s preposterous, little
brother. Why on earth would you think that?”
Richard raised an eyebrow, his mockery in expression evident. “Well, Elena, you’re a well-known docto and you encounter a lot
of people in your line of work. It wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility for you to have crossed paths with Kayden, especially
since you’re around the same age and you’re both busybodies who like to be everywhere like the attention seekers that you both
are.
Elena reclined in her chair, a soft
chuckle escaping her lips as she
regarded Richard with a knowin
look. “You knowaRidkded, fen y
reason your disrespect slide is
because |’m a good sister, and | still
regard you highly no matter how
stupid | believe you are. But anyway,
let’s get back to the business | called
you here for.”” The content is on

Richard rolled his eyes, a hint of impatience creeping into his voice. “Exactly, Elena. Cut the theatrics, and just tell me what you
have in mind and why | have to be involved.”
Elena leaned forward, a glint of mischief dancing in her eyes. “So here’s the thing: | have my people keeping an eye on Marlene
now because | don’t want Kayden to off her just yet. What | want is for him to try to kill her but fail at it, thanks to our interruption.”
Richard’s confusion deepened, his brow furrowing in puzzlement. “Wait, what? Why on earth would y want Kayden to make an
attempt on Marlene’s life? What’s it to you?”
Elena leaned back, a calculating
expression on her face. “You see,
Richard, | believe in an eye for an eye,
a life for a life. This eansKayden
to dig, duist Ke lorgia did. But
since I’m not one to soil my hands, as
the prestigious busybody that | am, |
want Marlene to be provoked by him,
to be pushed to her limits through his
attempt to murder her. And when
that time comes, she’ll end up taking
care of Kayden for me.” The content

Richard’s eyes widened in shock, a sense of disbelief coloring his features. “You want Marlene to
kill Kayden? Elena, even if it would be great if that happened, there’s no assurance about it, What if she doesn’t go through with
it like you think she would, or if she fails?”
Elena’s smile turned confident, adding a dangerous edge to her tone. “Oh, don’t worry, Richard. Even if Marlene doesn’t do the
deed herself, it doesn’t matter to me. Kayden’s attempt to kill her will be-
backed with evidence, and that would create the motive I’ll use to make sure she becomes the prime
suspect. The rest will all fall into place after that.”
Richard stared at Elena, a mixture of bewilderment and skepticism clouding his gaze. “I find this all weird, Elena, but then again,
you’ve always been weird. That’s why working with mentally ill people s the perfect job for you. My question now is, Are you sure
there are no risks that could put you in
rouble?”
Elena waved off Richard’s concerns
with a dismissive gesture. “Don’t
worry your pretty little head. Richard.
