All Chapters of Ex-Wife of a Fool, Now Mrs. Elite: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Heather returned home with a heavy heart, sighing the whole way. Eloise stayed by her side the whole time. As soon as they got back, they saw Morgan seated on the couch. He didn't seem to know about what had happened at the company yet."Mom, what are you doing here?" He frowned slightly. After the events of that morning, he'd planned on heading into the office later. He didn't expect to see Eloise show up with Heather.The moment Heather saw him, she barked, "It's all because of Cherise! Do you know she went to the company to tender her resignation? She even humiliated me in public! She completely disregarded me!"On the way home, Heather and Eloise had talked about what had happened over the past couple of days. Heather was also filled in on Cherise's demand for a divorce.However, neither of them took it seriously. They thought Cherise was still head over heels for Morgan, and there was also the fact that she'd recently gotten so much from Philip. How could she possibly leave th

Philip smiled at Cherise, still looking as jovial as before. She didn't really dare to meet his eyes, though. She knew she'd let him down by deciding to get a divorce."I'll be honest with you—I only gave you everything I did because I didn't want you to be bullied. I have to say that I didn't expect you and Morgan to still end up taking this step, though," he said.How could he have missed all the rumors out there?He patted Cherise's arm and said, "Well, that's that. Let's move on. You and Morgan are just not meant to be, and no one can force that."Cherise sniffled. "I'm sorry, Philip."She'd ultimately disappointed him. He'd even considered his future great-grandchildren, but she and Morgan had never slept together throughout their marriage. Where would the children have come from?Now, however, she was glad they'd never gone that far."I don't think you came here today just to tell me about that, right?" Philip handed Cherise a cup of tea, signaling for her to try it.The

Heather didn't dare say another word after being scolded. Still, she couldn't stop herself from glaring daggers at Cherise.Cherise acted like she didn't see it. Philip had already stood up for her—she didn't want to act smug after already getting the upper hand."I don't care. Philip, Cherise is completely out of line! Not only did she cause a scene at the company, but she even demanded a divorce! How can you still be on her side?" Heather ultimately couldn't suppress her frustration and tried to get a few more words in.Just then, Morgan arrived in a hurry. He was just in time to hear her. He snapped, "Mom, stop!"He'd gone to the company earlier and learned what had happened. He'd also finally looked at the evidence that Cherise had resent to him.Everything Heather had told him was true—she'd instructed Eugene and Winston to pull those stunts before pinning all the blame on Cherise.Morgan said, "Cherise did nothing wrong in this matter. Those people at the company were the o

"It's getting late, so you should rest. I'll contact you if there's anything else." Lucien hung up, not even giving Cherise a chance to say goodbye.The call had ended so abruptly. Before the line went dead, she'd heard a woman's voice on the other end of the line, seemingly reminding him of something. It wasn't Katie's voice, though.For a moment, a bold thought appeared in Cherise's mind. Could that be Lucien's girlfriend?After all, it was late. Anyone who would still be by his side at this hour had to be someone close to him.Cherise shook her head as soon as the thought formed. She and Lucien were just working together—he was her attorney. It didn't feel right to speculate about his personal life like this.Still, it was hard to put out the spark of gossip once it was ignited. She turned to Annalise and said, "I need to ask you something, Anna."Annalise looked up from her tablet, her eyes carrying traces of confusion. "What is it?""Do you know anything about Lucien's pers

In truth, Cherise had immediately recognized the burner account to be Eloise's the moment it had followed her account. At the time, she'd even brainwashed herself into believing that Eloise had deliberately created the account with the goal of making her get the wrong idea.They were both women, after all. She could get what Eloise was thinking.Cherise snorted self-deprecatingly when she remembered the past. "Anna, I've just realized that I'm really good at putting up with nonsense."Eloise's burner account had dozens of tweets, and almost all of them had to do with Morgan. They'd met every other day, whether to have meals or coffee. They'd even gone on short trips together."Is this the Twitter account you told me about?" Annalise leaned in. "It's my first time seeing it. Let's see what the scheming bitch has written."She read aloud some of the tweets while looking through them. As she did so, Cherise silently pieced together the timeline. Her heart no longer ached as it once d
