All Chapters of Ex-Wife of a Fool, Now Mrs. Elite: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Didn't that mean Eloise would be able to enjoy boundless wealth once she married Morgan? Her mood soared at that thought.Not too far away, a figure abruptly stood up, no longer wanting to be involved with these people.Cherise drove to Hedonism and parked her car before heading upstairs, her heels clicking on the floor. Since she was coming to a place like this, she'd changed her clothes at home.That night, she wore a silver fishtail dress. She rarely wore clothes like this, mainly because they were inconvenient for movement. She almost never wore skirts during her days as a soldier.Later, she'd realized that she needed to be able to defend herself under any circumstances. That was why she'd started training in various outfits and cuts.Cherise looked down at her pointed stilettos, wondering how she could secretly snap photos of Morgan and Eloise when she saw them together later.While deep in thought, she suddenly sensed something and looked up. She saw a tall figure leaning

Cherise followed Lucien's line of sight and stared into the distance. She said, "I'll pay you handsomely to thank you."Lucien laughed. "Seeing someone like Morgan fall flat on his face is rewarding enough.""Do you guys have bad blood or something?" Cherise remembered a question that had plagued her.From their second meeting, she'd sensed that Lucien harbored some hostility toward Morgan. It wasn't the instinctive rivalry between two men—it was more of a resentment that lingered after something had happened between them.She thought about Lucien's impressive background. He had an unblemished career and a legendary reputation for being ruthless and decisive. What sort of history could someone like him have with Morgan?Cherise was truly curious now. Her eyes were bright as she spoke to Lucien, and she even leaned in. "Can you tell me about it?"Maybe it was because of where they were, but her mood seemed to be affected by the scent of the alcohol around them. She wasn't as serio

The balcony wasn't brightly lit, so most people wouldn't notice it. Besides, it didn't seem like Morgan and Eloise would come in Lucien and Cherise's direction.Nearby, Morgan's irritated voice rang out. "Didn't that woman say she was coming to pick me up? Why hasn't she arrived yet?"Cherise was surprised. So, he knew she was coming to pick him up. Had he deliberately said those things over the phone, then? He wanted everyone in the private room to know that he wore the pants in this relationship and that he called the shots at home?Eloise's soft voice chimed in. "Stop getting mad over Cherise. Don't you two argue enough already? Sometimes, my heart aches for you when I hear about the things that happen between you two. How did things end up like this?"Morgan's irritation surged at her words. "I don't get what goes on in her mind, either. Sometimes, she even gets jealous of you. I told her that you and I are just friends. And it's not like we've ever done anything to cross the l

Morgan and Eloise were lip-locked and lost in the throes of passion.By the time Cherise poked her head out to peek at them, all she saw was them heading to an elevator nearby with their arms around each other. They looked like they were conjoined twins.She whispered to Lucien, "Are there rooms upstairs?""Of course. Did you think this was an innocuous establishment?" he answered mockingly. He held her arm and pulled her forward.As he led her upstairs via a staircase on the other side, he pulled out his phone and made a call. "I'm at Hedonism. Yeah, come over right now."Cherise didn't know what these instructions meant, but he explained everything to her after hanging up. "You want proof, right? I've asked someone to come over to get it for you. But you still have to record something as a symbolic gesture. That'll make the situation more beneficial to you."He really was carrying out his duty as her attorney and teaching her what to do.Cherise gathered herself, feeling the f

As soon as Cherise said that, the haze of alcohol clouding Lucien's mind cleared significantly. He stopped looking out the window and turned to face Cherise instead.They were seated on either end of the backseat, and there was enough space for two more people to fit between them. Despite that, he could still clearly see the look on her face. He saw a broken and helpless woman."I know you're not in the best state of mind now, but I hope you'll push on with this. This will all pass." For once, Lucien spoke up to comfort her.Cherise shook her head. "I'm not sad or angry… I just think things would've been much better if I'd just made up my mind earlier."Perhaps her relationship with Morgan should've ended long ago. She'd just been lying to herself this whole time. She should've decisively ended things with him on the day of the airport incident."If I'd demanded a divorce the first time something like this happened, I wouldn't have sunk so deep into this mess. I wouldn't need to b
