THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 1047

"Skyler! Next time you come in, could you remember to knock first?" Gordon said with a slight frown, not even looking up. He didn't pause his work for a second.

Skyler was incredulous. "Uncle, you're amazing. You didn't even lift your head, and you knew it was me!"

With that, he walked over to the tea table in the office, poured himself a cup, and added dramatically, "Uncle, it seems we're truly on the same wavelength. I must be your favorite nephew!"

"Aside from your lack of manners, everyone else who enters my office knows to knock first," Gordon said in a low, flat tone.

Skyler was speechless.

"Uncle, you have absolutely no sense of humor. I honestly don't know how Caitlin puts up with you."

No humor.

No charm.

He really couldn't fathom how Caitlin had managed to date this iceberg for so long!

"You don't need to know," Gordon said, finally looking up at him. "By the way, what did you need?"

"I came to ask you to the Forbes family's party," Skyler said. "It'll be so boring if I go alone."

Gordon flipped a page in the document in his hands, his lips barely moving. "Then you can go back. I don't have time to waste with you at some meaningless party."

Skyler had just taken over the Cumming Group, so of course he needed to attend parties to expand his network and resources.

But what resources did Gordon lack?

For him, attending such a party was a complete waste of time, utterly pointless.

"Are you sure you're not going?" Skyler asked again.

"I'm sure." Gordon glanced at Skyler. "Do you know how much money I make per minute? Have you calculated how much the Sylvester Group would lose if I accompanied you to this meaningless party?"

Gordon was a businessman.

And a very competent one at that.

In any matter, his first consideration was always profit.

"Alright, if you're not going, then I'll just have to attend the party all by my lonely self," Skyler said, turning to leave. As he walked, he added, "I heard that Caitlin's father is on the guest list for this party..."
