THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 384

After Ann finished speaking, she ended the video call.

The moment her video went live, her comment section exploded.

[Even though we can't see Victoria's face, I can just tell she's gorgeous.]

[Wait, what?! The freeloading leech is actually Victoria's cousin?]

[Honey, you really shouldn’t hang out with that cousin anymore.]

[Victoria, sweetheart, you treat her like family, but clearly she never saw you that way. She just wants to use you to get famous online.]

[Ugh, cousins like this are the worst. No sense of boundaries whatsoever.]

[That cousin is absolutely disgusting!]

[Aaah, Victoria’s voice is so sweet! She must be beautiful too.]

[What kind of cousin is this? Posting photos of Victoria’s back and claiming it’s her own, then refusing to admit it even after getting caught?]

[Victoria is way too kind. Even after getting stabbed in the back by her own cousin, she still tries to defend her.]

[Another day, another reason to be disgusted by that leech!]

[Naïve little girl? No ulterior motives? Victoria, wake up! Your cousin is nothing like that—she’s just trying to ride your coattails to internet fame!]

[……]

Ann scrolled through the comments, a satisfied smirk playing at her lips. Who would have thought that little country bumpkin Caitlin would finally get what she deserved?

Online hate was like a snowball.

It only got bigger and bigger as it rolled.

The moment Caitlin stole those photos, her fate was sealed.

Ann would make sure Caitlin’s reputation was ruined in the Capital.

She’d be kicked out of the Gonzales family for good.

As she thought about it, a cold, vicious glint flashed in Ann’s eyes.

Meanwhile, Caitlin had no idea a storm was raging online.

She really did look like an angel.

There she was, just a girl in a simple black wool coat, yet she stood out so completely—stunning, breathtaking, absolutely mesmerizing.

It took Gordon a long moment to tear his eyes away. He glanced at Hargrove and said curtly, “Stop staring.”

Just three words.

Delivered in a calm, soft tone, yet they made Hargrove’s heart skip.

What was that about?

He’d only looked at a beautiful woman for a couple of seconds. Why did it feel like Gordon’s whole attitude toward him had changed?

Had he imagined it?

Hargrove swallowed nervously. “Is something wrong, sir?”

Since when was it a crime to admire a beautiful woman?

Gordon’s lips curled slightly as he replied, “You could stand here and stare at her all day, but she’ll never be yours. But if you spent that time reading a book, the knowledge would be yours. There’s nothing more valuable than learning, remember that.”
