Trading My Cheating Husband for a Billionaire Tycoon のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

The staff hadn’t even finished speaking when a sweet, flirtatious voice cut in.“Mr. Simmons, you’re here too.”Wendy was already walking over with her arm wrapped around Kenny’s. Her steps were soft and deliberate, her smile warm, her gaze shimmering.“I’m so sorry. There’s a very important gala tonight, and I couldn’t get an appointment with the stylists here no matter how I tried. So I borrowed your girlfriend’s name and asked the staff to make an exception. I hope you won’t be upset.”Then she turned to Jennie, extending a hand with a polite smile.“Hello, Mrs. Simmons. I’m Wendy Reynolds. I’m one of Mr. Simmons’s business partners. We’ve met at the office before. Do you remember?”The flame Jennie had been holding down all afternoon finally surged up.Her face, however, remained calm.“I really didn’t expect people like you still existed. To get a makeover, you’re willing to throw away your dignity and volunteer to be someone’s mistress.”The smile on Wendy’s face froze. S

The staff leaned in, explaining, "Mr. Simmons said it was a bit stuffy, so he asked us to help you pick out clothes while he stepped out for a smoke. He'll be right back."Kenny, however, suddenly looked up and winked at Jennie, subtly glancing towards the fitting room opposite her. Even without his hint, Jennie could guess what William was up to.Muffled, hurried breathing could be heard from inside the small space. Wendy was pressed against the wall, soft whimpers escaping her lips."Are you deliberately trying to make me jealous by being with someone?" William's hand rested on Wendy's slender waist, moving beneath the fabric. "Hmm? Who's that pretty boy? Since when do you like playing with such useless men?"Wendy tilted her head back, one arm around his neck, a smile playing on her lips. "What, weren't you saying it was strictly business? Now you're jealous? Your wife is still waiting for you outside, you know." Before she finished speaking, her fingertips traced over his shi

Both William and Wendy froze. Beside them, Kenny, who had been silently enjoying the drama, twitched his lips, barely suppressing a laugh. He hadn't expected this seemingly docile and tolerant Mrs. Simmons to be a rose with thorns.William was the first to react. "Jennie, what nonsense are you talking about!"Wendy also came to her senses, her chest heaving with anger. "Mrs. Simmons, I was kindly reminding you, out of respect for Mr. Simmons, not to let a necklace affect his reputation, and you turn around and slander me? How ungrateful!" She turned to William and snapped, "Mr. Simmons, it seems it's best if I don't meddle in your family affairs." Then, she clicked away on her heels, heading towards the lounge without a backward glance.William instinctively started to follow her. Noticing his subtle movement, Jennie gave a scornful laugh. "William, consider these past four years a complete waste. I'll have my lawyer prepare the divorce papers and send them to you." She stood up

Jennie paused her hair-drying motion, her heart sinking, but she didn't answer him. William walked in front of her, and under her indifferent gaze, he knelt on one knee. He cautiously reached for her hand. "I'm sorry, today... I let my baby girl suffer, it's my fault."Jennie knew he was putting on an act, but her heart ached so much she could barely breathe, and her eyes felt raw. She forced a smile. "William, can you please stop acting?"William was taken aback but patiently coaxed her. "Acting? Has someone been gossiping to you? Jennie, don't believe them, they're just jealous of us."Jealous? Jennie's chest throbbed with anger. She wanted to expose his dirty dealings with Wendy, but the words caught in her throat, refusing to come out. How ridiculous. They were the ones who had done all the wrong, yet she was the one suffering, feeling too ashamed to even speak.William saw her prolonged silence and his slight unease completely dissipated. He concluded that she knew not

Jennie instinctively wanted to refuse. "No, I...""I know your father. I'm a friend of his." Henry's words successfully made Jennie swallow her refusal. "He told me today is your birthday and asked me to keep you company if I happened to meet you, on his behalf." Henry felt a bit ridiculous himself, resorting to lying just to invite a woman to dinner.However, he wasn't entirely deceiving her. He was indeed David Lawson's older acquaintance, and David had actually asked him to look after his only daughter if the opportunity arose. But the part about keeping her company for her birthday on his behalf was purely an impromptu fabrication.Jennie's fingers tightened on the handle of her suitcase. Henry's gaze fell on her face; even with carefully applied concealer, he noticed the lingering redness and swelling in her eyes. He didn't expose her, merely stepped aside indifferently, making way. "Of course, if you really don't want to eat, that's fine too."Jennie hesitated. He
