THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 439

Half an hour ago, Tammie was still posting selfies on Instagram, boasting about attending the most exclusive arts gala in town.

If he got thrown out now, everyone would know in a heartbeat.

How was he supposed to hold his head up in front of his friends after that?

No way.

Absolutely not!

Ann was just as desperate. She’d promised her friends she’d get C’s autograph tonight.

Once again, Ann forced a bright smile and turned to Caitlin. “Freya, Freya, I’m your big sister! Can’t you talk to Mr. Shepherd and let us stay?”

Caitlin’s face remained perfectly calm; she didn’t even glance Ann’s way.

By now, Forest had already called security.

The commotion drew more and more attention. As soon as security entered the ballroom, all eyes turned to Tammie and Ann. Tammie’s face reddened with embarrassment. He quickly grabbed Ann’s arm. “Let’s go, Ann. Now.”

Ann was clearly reluctant, but she had no choice except to follow Tammie out of the ballroom.

Leaving on their own was still far better than being manhandled by security in front of everyone.

The gala tonight was crawling with high-profile guests, so dozens of reporters were waiting outside.

They’d been camped out for over two hours.

They’d seen plenty of people go in, but no one had come out—until now.

The moment Tammie and Ann appeared, a swarm of journalists surrounded them.

“Mr. Gonzales, why are you and your companion leaving the event so early? Can you tell us what happened?”

Ann didn’t look any better. She let out a long sigh. “I can’t believe Freya is actually C. Tammie, from the way she looked at us, I don’t think she’ll ever forgive us…”

“C? So what if she’s C?” Tammie’s anger flared at the memory of Caitlin refusing to acknowledge him as her brother. “People like her think they’re untouchable, but everyone falls from grace sooner or later.”

So what if she’s C? Just a chess prodigy, nothing more!

Aside from that, what else does Caitlin have to show for herself?

He’d actually considered giving her another chance, forgiving her for the past, but after what happened tonight, he’d never forgive Caitlin—ever.

Within minutes, Twitter exploded with a trending topic:

All the comments underneath were full of sympathy for Tammie.
