The CEO’s Ex-Wife Is A Famous Doctor

Chapter 84: Jessica’s Apology

“Wifey, you’ve met Attorney Scarlett. This is her husband, Kaleb Wright, the

CEO of the Diamond Hotels and my soon-

to-be business partner,” Evan presented

after meeting Scarlett’s family at the Intercontinental Hotel’s grand ballroom. The Wrights had already settled at one

table with their kids.

Scarlett and her family were all dressed in white; coincidentally, Shantelle and Evan were too. Lucas was also in a white tux, and instantly, their party laughed at how they all turned up in the same shade.

“It’s nice to meet you again, Scarlett.”

Shantelle extended her hand to Kaleb and

said, “Mister Wright. It is truly an honor

to meet the great CEO who runs the

biggest corporation in the country -”

“Oh, that’s not me,” Scarlett’s husband

replied. “That would be my brother. Our company has become too big, and it was too difficult for my brother to handle everything. Thus, we decided to separate the Diamond Hotels and put it under my leadership. My older brother is the one handling the mother company.”

“Oh, is that right?” Shantelle remarked.

It looked like she missed that detail

entirely. Last night, Evan had given her a rundown of the Wright family. Over the years, their company had risen as the country’s wealthiest corporation. Being associated with the Wrights was

considered an honor and a once-in-a- lifetime opportunity. Thus, Evan was

looking forward to the partnership with Kaleb Wright, Attorney Scarlett’s

husband.

“Like the Thompson Group of Companies, it will eventually separate

other companies as the expansion

continues for each entity,” Evan described, and Kaleb agreed. Looking past Kaleb, Evan asked, “And these must be your lovely children!”

Scarlett’s husband said, pointing to the tallest young man, “This is my eldest,

Liam. Next are Lewis and Levin. Our only rose, her name is Lily Rose, and there are Kayden and Kristoff.”

“Wow, six kids,” Shantelle remarked. ” What a happy family.”

“It is. While more kids can be a mess, in the end, it’s enjoyable. You both should try it,” Scarlett proposed. “Have at least five kids.”

“Meaning, I’ll have brothers and sisters!” Lucas exclaimed from behind Evan.

Shantelle flushed while Evan laughed. He made a mess of Lucas’ hair and said, ” That depends on Mommy.”

Guiding Lucas in front of him, Evan said, “And this is my son, Lucas.”

“Oh, only one. Tsk. Tsk,” Scarlett expressed. “The poor boy needs a brother and sister.” Scarlett elbowed Shantelle and suggested, “Aim for a girl. It’s really nice to have a girl – the dress up and how they act like princesses is just adorable.”

“I wish it works that way,” Shantelle responded, chuckling.

“Oh, it’s simple. You just need to keep trying!” Scarlett suggested. “Take those supplements that make you ovulate more. Have fraternal twins!”

Yet again, Shantelle’s face burned. She turned to Lucas, ensuring her son was not paying attention. She whispered, “I’m not ready yet to have another child. Evan invested in a heart and lung center for my father and me. I can’t fail him. He spent a lot of money so I could continue my

career here in Rose Hills.”

“I understand, Shantelle. I took a break from making babies after Levin and Lewis, but you know what? Each time I was pregnant, I won big cases. They say pregnancy is a lucky charm,” Scarlett winked at Shantelle. 3

“We will be joining your table. You are our most valued guest, after all,” Evan proposed.

Shantelle and Evan sat next to Kaleb and Scarlett, while Lucas sat next to Lily. As Lucas settled himself, he smiled at Lily, his face turning red at the beautiful
