Ex-Wife of a Fool, Now Mrs. Elite
Cherise Rhode grows up in a military compound as the daughter of two soldiers. She graduates from a top university and hides behind layers of identities. Almost no one knows her true background—not even her own husband, Morgan Sterling.
After all, he doesn't love her. He only has eyes for his precious true love, Eloise Lane, and even has the audacity to tell Cherise that once Eloise returns from abroad, he'll divorce Cherise without a second thought.
The day Cherise finally decides to file for divorce, she runs into a renowned attorney, Lucien Camden. She wants him to take on her case.
Cool and aloof, he simply asks, "And what's in it for me?"
…
Rumor has it, Lucien—heir to the powerful Camden family—is ruthless, crisp with his moves, and the gold-standard attorney for high-stakes finance cases.
But one day, a new whisper spreads. He's the top-of-the-top partner at his law firm, yet he's taken on… a simple divorce case.
When asked by a reporter, he says, "Oh, I'm just trying to win over the woman who holds my heart."
…
The day Cherise publicly announces her second marriage, the upper crust of Jenton explodes. Social media follows suit.
Everyone's dying to know who her mystery man is—he's only shown from the back in the photo Cherise shared.
Half an hour later, Camden Group's official account tweets, "Happy marriage, Mrs. Camden. @Cherise Rhode"
Morgan shows up in a panic, blocking Cherise's path like a madman. "Cherise, you're just throwing a tantrum at me, right?"
Cherise looks at him coldly, as if he's no more than a dog soaked by the rain. She loses her patience and says, "Let's get one thing straight. I've already kicked you to the curb."
