All Chapters of You Had This Divorce Coming: Chapter 381 - Chapter 390

Gwen burst through the door in a rush, a freshly bought roasted pig's trotter still clutched in one hand.She grabbed Lucille's hand with the other and fired off question after question. "Lucy! I'm here! Which piece of trash drugged you this time? How are you? Are you hurt? Did they hurt you?"Charles followed behind her and pressed a hand to his forehead in resignation.He pushed up his wire-frame glasses, and his sharp gaze immediately caught the unmistakable marks scattered across Otto's neck.A knowing smile spread across his face, and he nudged Otto's arm with his elbow. "Well, look at you. Seems like a little disaster turned into a nice little windfall."Otto shot him a look as his ears grew warm. "What are you even talking about?"Charles pressed his lips together with a cryptic smile and lowered his voice. "Still playing dumb? Go ahead and enjoy it quietly. Lucille's about to be divorced anyway. The two of you should just get together already. I mean it. I'm not joking. M

All three women looked up at once.The moment Wanda saw Gideon, her eyes lit up.Just like that, five years had passed since she had last seen him. Gideon looked every bit as handsome as she remembered. No, even more so. He was more mature now, more of a man than he had ever been.Gideon was dressed casually today in a pale blue shirt and black slacks, with no tie and his collar slightly open. Even so, an air of sharp, effortless refinement surrounded him. His handsome face was cold and dark, which only deepened his air of mystery.He remained every bit as noble and commanding as she remembered, the kind of man who made others instinctively look up to him."Giddy!""Giddy!"Wanda and Rayne called out almost in the same breath, the same intimate warmth in both their voices.Gideon had not expected to find an outsider in the room. The sight of Wanda caught him off guard for a moment, but he merely gave her a small nod.His expression remained flat and unreadable, like a king ack

Rayne steadied herself and thought it over for a moment, only to grow agitated again."But... but what if Giddy actually falls for Wanda along the way? Just like before. We all thought there was no way he`d ever fall for Lucille, and look at him now, half dead over her!"Michelle patted her shoulder, unbothered. "Don't worry about it. I've seen it for a while now. You're the one in my brother's heart. He'll never be able to let go of you. Once he's divorced, he'll end up with you. I'm certain of it."For now, let's just hold back and see how Wanda handles herself. I hear she's quite skilled in business. If she can take care of Lucille for us, wouldn't you be the one who comes out ahead without having to do any of the work?"The words immediately settled Rayne's frantic heart. Michelle's reasoning made sense.Everything Wanda had said about a coordinated attack and tearing Lucille's entire image apart certainly made it sound as though she knew what she was doing.Rayne had secretl

Lucille stopped and looked up at him, her gaze flat and laced with scorn. "Gideon, who you kiss is entirely your business. I have no interest in stopping you, much less watching."Her eyes settled on his lips, still faintly swollen, and her expression turned strange. "Though I'd suggest that next time, you do it at home or anywhere else. There's no need to put on a show in front of me."Whatever you're doing doesn't affect me at all. It only makes me find you even more repulsive. After all, a man who can find someone new this quickly and still put on this whole act of devotion in front of me really is disgusting."Gwen waved her arms in agreement. "Exactly! A grown man playing games like this. It's pathetic. Absolutely laughable."Gideon, if you're so eager to be a piece of trash, just go ahead and finalize the divorce with Lucille already, then be trash to your heart's content. Don't try to have it both ways, playing the devoted husband one minute and running around the next. Luci

Wanda's mouth curved into a cruel smile. "I'll make sure Lucille is named lead designer on this project. We'll offer them a generous enough profit margin, but the contract will have a trap built right into it."If the project is ever halted or delayed because of the design plans or an inadequate preliminary assessment, she'll be on the hook for a massive breach-of-contract penalty."The project looks impressive on the surface, but it's actually a hot potato. It sits right next to the Whirlwind Pavilion, that national treasure she just finished restoring. Any construction there carries a real risk of ground subsidence, which could bring the entire meetinghouse down."The moment she signs the contract and takes on the project, she's guaranteed to end up owing a fortune."The total projected investment is roughly 200,000,000 dollars. If anything goes wrong, she'll be wiped out completely, with nowhere left to turn. She'll have no choice but to come crawling to you for help like a dog
