Chapter 2 Two Acquaintances
- “Gloria!”
- Gloria was servile and submissive, but at this time, she ignored Jordy who was angry behind her, and pushed him out of the room.
- An hour later.
- Gloria went downstairs. Jordy was already gone. She suddenly looked at the Casio men’s watch in her hand. She specially prepared it as a gift for his coming birthday. At this time, she only found it offending to the eye.
- Pia!
- She threw the million-dollar watch into the garbage can without hesitation. Then took a light breath. Maybe the past three years were only a dream! From now on, she would only live for herself!
- After leaving the villa, Gloria hailed a taxi and went directly to her own villa. She bought the villa several years ago, but she never came back here because she lived in the Collins’ mansion.
- Her sudden appearance shocked the servants. They quickly stood in a row and respectfully greeted her in unison, “Good morning, Mrs. Collins!”
- Gloria put down her luggage, sat down on the sofa, rubbed her eyebrows and corrected them.
- "There will be no Mrs. Collins but only Miss White.” She once felt proud when she was called Mrs. Collins but she only felt that it was ironic now. The servants didn’t dare to ask why but respectfully retreated.
- Back in her room, Gloria called her assistant Irene,
- “How are you doing recently?” Irene was surprised, “You actually call me? What a turn-up!”
- “I’m divorced. You were right. I will focus on my career in the future.” “What?” Irene was shocked.
- “Did I hear that right? In the past three years, your all attention was on your husband and you even gave up your job and became a full-time wife. What’s wrong with you? You actually want a divorce? Are you kidding me?”
- Irene was Gloria’s assistant. Except for her and several people around Gloria, no one knew that Gloria had another identity. That was… The Trump Lawyer Norma!
- There was a popular saying on the Internet, Norma, the excellent lawyer of the elite lawyers.
- Many lawyers would be terrified to hear her name. Irene was still in shock, but Gloria continued, “Does anyone want to see me recently? Are there any interesting cases?”
- Light flickered in Irene’s eyes, and she said with regret, “Yes, there is one. The pay is very good, but no one dares to take it, and you… can’t take it.”
- “Huh?” Gloria said in an indifferent tone, but she suddenly sounded a little interested.
- Irene and Gloria sat face to face in the coffee shop. “You said that I couldn’t take the case?”
- Gloria went to the sofa and sat down. Irene nodded regretfully. Gloria raised an eyebrow and said, “What is the case?”
- “Well…”
- Irene then told her the case.
- Gloria’s fingers on her left lap moved, and a ray of black light flickered in her almond eyes, “It’s interesting. Who are the two parties?” “You don’t have to know…” Gloria looked up at Irene curiously.
- “The two parties are both leading figures in the business world. The thing is complicated and they fell out in the end. The person who wants your help is Mr. Brown and his opponent is your…”
- Irene sighed and said with heartache,
- “Your husband!”
- Gloria’s breathing quickened for a second. Irene clenched her chest and said with a sad look,
- “We are meant to miss such a large sum of money. What a misfortune!”
- Gloria was fiddling with her mobile phone silently, thinking about something. Irene thought she was sad. She comforted her while having a heartache, “Oh, come on. If you come back to work, you’ll earn money easily with your fame! And you’ve really divorced?” Gloria smiled, “Only without him my life would be my own life."
- Looking at Gloria’s serious eyes, Irene felt relieved after getting over the shock, “You finally got smart! You sacrificed so much for that jerk, but he didn’t cherish you. You leave him. You are out of your predicament. Great! I really want to congratulate you!”
- While they were talking, they found that two familiar figures came into the cafe shop. Gloria’s face darkened instantly. The man was dressed in a black suit, and his silver cufflinks were shining coldly in the light, just like him.
- The woman beside him was in a white dress, black-haired and lovable. It was Angela White, her "Good Cousin".
- Gloria sneered inwardly. They just decided to divorce and then he was here shopping with his mistress.
- Irene followed Gloria’s line of sight, and then she turned sullen, “Why are they here?” Maybe her voice was a little high and excited, Jordy noticed it, turned around, and saw them. His expression turned stern in an instant.
- He was wondering why Gloria signed the divorce papers without hesitation and even refused the villa. However, she appeared in front of him again. So, she was playing hard to get? looked at him, then looked away with a cold face and pulled Irene to get up and leave.
- But an extremely sweet voice sounded, “Gloria, you are also here.” While saying that, Angela had come to them, with a gentle smile on her lips. She looked at Gloria with a smiling and kind face.
- Gloria sneered inwardly Who would have thought that this gentle and loveable woman secretly had sent countless intimate photos of her and Jordy to her this month?
- Gloria said with a faint smile, “Angela, you were discharged from hospital so soon? You lay in the bed for three years, and you can walk so soon? What a miracle!” Hearing this, people around all looked at Angela curiously.
- A trace of embarrassment flashed across Angela’s face, but soon she calmed down and looked at Jordy with a sweet smile, “Thanks to Jordy’s careful care over the past three years, I was awakened by his perseverance, so I recovered very quickly.”
- Gloria looked at Jordy with a smile, “I didn’t know that my ex-husband can create a medical miracle! The medical profession will be promising with you!”
- People who were curious looked at them and imagined what happened between them, winking at each other and whispering.
- "Ex-husband? So the woman in white dress was a mistress? And she was the ex-wife’s cousin?”
- “Oh my god, what a dramatic thing!” “How could she be so arrogant in front of the ex-wife? What a shameless bitch!”
- When Jordy heard these words, his expression suddenly turned cold, “Gloria, you’ve been pestering me for so long, and now you’re playing such a trick? If you appear before me again, don’t blame me for being rude!”
- Gloria suppressed her anger and smiled, ‘Are you serious? What are you going to do?
