Revenge on My Billionaire Ex 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 61 - 챕터 70

“Isn’t that a bit harsh?” I murmured under my breath when the employee disappeared from sight."Harsh?" Samantha echoed. "That's just the tip of the iceberg compared to what she's done to you in the past, Liz. I know all about the names she's called you and the vile rumors she's spread. Every time I see her, it makes me angry.”“But that was four years ago… She might have changed,” I suggested, which made my best friend shake her head."I doubt a leopard can change its spots,” Sam remarked as we walked toward the banquet hall where the Ashford wedding anniversary celebration would take place in a few days.Feeling unsure of how to respond, I remained silent. Sapphire was in charge of the preparation, and so she was there, giving orders to the employees. When she spotted Sam and me, she raised her hand and waved before returning to work.“I can't believe that she's the same woman who once pushed you into the pool and you nearly drowned,” Samantha murmured beside me, making me suppress

Sapphire Everheart fidgeted with unease in her chair, unsure of how to react. She was grateful that Elizabeth was out meeting a client and that she hadn't run into her ex yet. It would be a drama waiting to unfold.Crossing her arms defiantly, she lifted her chin and spoke rather firmly. "I know you're eager to meet my boss, but please remember that she deals with many clients. Just because you're someone important doesn't mean she'll prioritize you. Ms. Elizabeth is fair and sees clients on a first-come, first-served basis."Crimson felt his cheeks warm up in annoyance. He ran a hand through his hair in frustration. "I understand, but it's been weeks. We have important matters to discuss.""I recommend booking another appointment for next week. Rest assured, you will have the opportunity to talk to her then."“I wonder why your boss is trying to postpone our meeting,” Crimson blurted, furrowing his brows. “It also strikes me as odd that my daughter mentioned the woman who saved her w

A flush of color tinged my cheeks.Indeed, Crimson was a fool, I silently acknowledged. But I should thank a fool like him for breaking my heart, as I wouldn't be the strong woman I am today without that experience.Now that he was being mentioned, I couldn't help but wonder where that "fool" was at the moment. I wasn't particularly interested, but I believed that Cleo might be with him. However, I felt too embarrassed to ask his parents. They might misconstrue my curiosity for something more than it was."I would like to thank you for coming, dear," Alicia said, beaming at me. She looked even younger when she smiled. "We are honored to have you here tonight.”“The pleasure's all mine, ma'am,” I replied, returning her warm smile.Alexander gestured for a waiter to come over, offering us a drink. He poured himself a whiskey while I opted for a glass of vintage red wine and Alicia chose a glass of champagne.We enjoyed a moment of silence, sipping on our drinks before continuing our con

"That's quite a rumor." “It is,” he agreed. "The allegation is that she didn't give birth to her child… What does that mean?” I asked casually, eager to hear more about the story. “Well, according to an unidentified source, she faked her pregnancy and paid someone to find her a baby.” “That's unbelievable…” Mr. Davis nodded, gracefully raising a finger to signal for a waiter to pour himself another drink. He sank back in his seat and continued, "Well, I wouldn't be shocked if those rumors turned out to be true. Have you seen her beautiful daughter? With green eyes and blonde hair, she bears no resemblance to her mother whatsoever.” Before I could stop myself, I mumbled, "Perhaps the child was fathered by a different man," to which Mr. Davis shook his head. “It's been circulating that the handsome billionaire requested a DNA test, which reportedly came back positive. He's truly the father.” He then added with a shrug, “We never know; Celestine Ford might have taken the

I couldn't bring myself to meet Crimson's gaze directly. He saved me, and I felt indebted to him. I nervously chewed on my lip before gathering the courage to look up and meet his intense stare. It almost felt like I was melting under his gaze as I mustered the words, "Thank you for saving me.""I was actually planning to speak with you about something when I came across you in need of help, and I acted on instinct," he explained."Is this about the hotel?" I inquired, unable to think of any other reason why he would want to talk to me.He seemed like he wanted to say something but then hesitated before finally responding, "Yes, it's about the hotel." He avoided eye contact after he replied.A tense silence filled the room, and he cleared his throat. "I should get going," he announced.I nodded, observing as he exited the room and disappeared through the doorway.I found my gaze still fixated on the door, even though he was gone, contemplating the events that had just transpired.
