The Ex and Her Riches

Whitney had been worried about sitting in the same car as Charles, but her worry was unnecessary since he did not even think about fetching her along.

Whitney sighed as she looked at Charles’ car which was already completely out of sight. She realized she should have known her place better.

When Charles was in a good mood, he could tolerate her being herself and speaking freely.

However, once she crossed the line, she meant nothing to him, and he would have no qualms about punishing her for her wrongdoings.

The realization hit Whitney like a ton of bricks, but she quickly dispelled those thoughts. She was resolved to earn money to bring her mother to Salinsburgh in Chanaea so that they could live together peacefully and comfortably.

She took out her phone, intending to book a taxi to the office.

Jasmine had finished her breakfast and was about to leave the house when she saw Whitney standing by the road in the far distance.

“Whitney, why are you standing here alone? Where’s Charles?”

Whitney jumped at the sudden voice behind her.

Feeling embarrassed, she smiled awkwardly. “He has something urgent at the laboratory today. Since it’s not on the way, I told him I’ll go to work myself.”

“This entire district belongs to the Newton family, so I don’t think you can get a taxi here. Why don’t I give you a lift?”

Hearing Jasmine’s words, Whitney could only agree helplessly. “All right, then. So sorry to trouble you, Jasmine.”

“Not at all. I have nothing important anyway. I’m just going to meet a friend, and she won’t mind if I’m a few minutes late.”

On the way to the office, Whitney felt more determined than ever to earn money.
