All Chapters of Ex-Wife of a Fool, Now Mrs. Elite: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Lucien only spoke several minutes later. "Take me back to the law firm. I have some things to deal with."After what had happened that night, Cherise's divorce agreement needed to be refined in several aspects. At the very least, he could help her fight for a bit more… No, he could boldly add on more clauses.Morgan only had himself to blame for falling into bed with Eloise.Lucien's eyes glinted darkly at that thought.…Early the following day, Cherise was awakened by her alarm. She opened her eyes to find herself in a place she didn't recognize. She sat up in bed, feeling confused for a moment before remembering what had happened the night before.Remembering the scene of Morgan and Eloise heading into a room with their lips locked still made her stomach churn.After getting out of bed, Cherise went to the bathroom to freshen up. She stared at herself in the mirror and pinched her cheeks.Throughout her two years with Morgan, she'd never seen him look at her with such love a

Cherise paused before continuing, "They told me you headed home because you didn't want to wait for me anymore."Morgan sighed in relief when he heard that. It seemed there was still some use in maintaining a good relationship with those people—at least they'd covered for him when needed.Then, he heard Cherise say, "They said you came home yourself, but you just told me that Eloise had to bring you back here. So, when exactly did she bring you back? Moments ago?"She watched as Morgan's expression shifted at her words. As she'd come downstairs, she'd considered laying her cards on the table. However, seeing him look so panicked made her want to joke around with him. The ugly look on Eloise's face was the cherry on top.Eloise forced a smile. "It was last night. I brought him—""If you brought him home last night, then why are you here so early in the morning?" Cherise cut in.The confrontation between the two women made Morgan's expression darken. He instinctively stood before E

Morgan almost broke out in a cold sweat after saying that. Everything had happened so suddenly, and Cherise had initially acted like she knew nothing about the night before. She'd gone along with whatever he'd said and laid traps for him. Then, she'd finished him off by showing him and Eloise that video!He'd almost let the truth slip after being caught off guard. If not for Eloise reacting quickly and placing all the blame on herself, he would've fallen for Cherise's tricks.Morgan's gaze turned impatient as he looked at Cherise. "Everything you just said was too leading. I was just caught off guard. The truth is that Eloise and I didn't do anything other than that slight bit of intimacy in the hallway."He was taking a gamble with those words. He wanted to see whether Cherise had any more dirt on him. However, he felt he knew her well enough after their two years together.In his eyes, she was a pushover. At the company, whenever he made a decision, she wouldn't object. Now, she

Cherise only remembered she had something she needed to do when Annalise started the car. She turned to Annalise and said, "Let's leave the suitcases in your car for now. I need to head to the office."Annalise widened her eyes in disbelief. "What? Don't tell me you're still thinking of working for that jerk now that things have turned out like this!"Cherise shook her head and said with a smile, "Nah. I need to tender my resignation."Annalise fell silent as she processed that. Then, she grabbed Cherise's hands and exclaimed, "You've finally seen sense! I was wondering why you were still sticking around at the company after the mess you two ended up in!"Still, she knew how much Cherise had done for Sterling Group over the past two years. She'd put her heart and soul into it. She and Morgan were bound by shared interests, so their divorce couldn't be that easy.Cherise said, "I've had plans to leave for a long time, but my targeted date was supposed to be in half a month. I've ju

"Let's cut the crap. I only have one thing to ask you, Cherise. What proof do you have?" Eugene demanded.At his question, the look on Winston's face turned ugly. He'd been around during the last meeting, and Cherise had sounded confident when Morgan had questioned her about the issue with the project. At the time, he'd wondered whether she'd already caught him out.Then again, he relaxed slightly when he thought about how he had Heather backing him up.Cherise smiled icily at Winston and Eugene before turning on the projector. "Fine, then. I'll cut the crap. I came today to tender my resignation, so I won't be working here anymore after today. Since you want to get to the bottom of this, I'll tell you exactly what happened."After turning on the projector, she used a laptop and searched for the project's data right then and there. Then, she also showed the IP addresses she'd discovered previously. She even pulled up records from the company's cloud database to show everyone.No o
