The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 55

Chapter 55 You Reap What You Sow

“Not too bad, I guess.”

Despite the humble reply, the smugness on Linda’s face was obvious to all. “Let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Jamie Derrymore. He’s the assistant business manager of Celeste and makes eight hundred thousand a year.”

When she emphasized the last sentence on purpose, Jamie smiled proudly, flashing his golden tooth again.

Thereafter, Linda waited for Gwendolyn’s response, expecting compliments from the latter.

However, when Gwendolyn continued to give her an indifferent look, Linda was peeved.

She has always loved pretending to be high and mighty. It’s time I pull her down from her high horse.

“I heard that you got divorced?”

Linda studied Gwendolyn’s outfit while speaking. Noticing the latter was dressed in office wear, she let out a snort. “Which car dealership are you working in as a salesperson? Is this all you have achieved after all these years?”

Shooting Linda a glare as if she was a fool, Gwendolyn sneered. “I’m here to buy a car.”

With that, she retracted her gaze and let herself be ushered in by the salesperson to choose her car. She had no intention nor energy to spend time on someone who was irrelevant to her.

Linda was further infuriated to see Gwendolyn just as arrogant as in the past and giving her the cold shoulder.

When she returned to the orphanage just two days ago, she heard that Gwendolyn had not only gotten a divorce but also received nothing from it.

And yet, she’s here to buy a car?

“I’m curious to see what sort of car she can afford,” Linda muttered under her breath as she stared at Gwendolyn’s silhouette.

Subsequently, she turned toward Jamie and spoke in a coquettish tone.

“Darling, let’s go in and take a look. Since you’re buying me a present, I would like to spend some time choosing the car that suits me the most.”

Lost in the fantasies he conjured up with Gwendolyn’s slender body, Jamie readily complied with her

request.

Inside, Gwendolyn had arrived at the section where all the mass markets cars were put on display.

She wasn’t particular when it came to material possessions. All that mattered was user-friendliness and practicality.

In fact, she had intended to randomly pick one and leave but was surprised to hear Linda clicking her tongue from behind her.
