Beyond the Divorce

I could tell who they were immediately from their voices.

One was from our dormitory, always trailing behind Michelle-Nana Howell. The other was Michelle herself.

Ivanna grabbed my arm and gestured for me to be quiet.

Nana asked Michelle, "So, what does Chloe do? How did she become so wealthy in just a few years?"

"Nonsense! Just because she can afford these doesn't mean the money is hers." Michelle's tone was dismissive. "As for what she does? I'd say she's a homewrecker." Michelle continued with a scornful tone. "I did some discreet inquiries. Rumor has it that she attached herself to some wealthy guy right after her divorce-a real tycoon." "Really? That fast?" Nana's voice carried a gossipy excitement.

"Hmph! So what? It stirred up quite a fuss, and public opinion is not favorable. After all, she has a child and still trapped a young guy. She's just relying on her looks. "She's like a cougar. There's nothing she can't do. Don't be fooled by her pretentious act. She's quite smart."

"True, that explains her extravagance."

"Extravagant? Nonsense! She's just showing off. However, it's not something to be proud of. It's just a matter of luck. What's the big deal?"
