THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 818

But she clearly didn't have a daughter.

Just as Dowager Vance had scolded her, a person like her deserved to be alone for the rest of her life—she didn't deserve to have children at all.

Eldermere.

Stuart flew to Southcrest and met the woman who had been burned.

With just one glance, he recognized that this was not Carey.

He shook his head in disappointment. "This is not my wife."

The staff at the relief center, seeing that he had made up his mind without even asking any questions, added, "Mr. Gonzales, the patient suffered trauma from the fire. Not only is her face disfigured, but her mental capacity has also been reduced to that of a three-year-old child. Are you sure you don't need to verify further?"

"I'm certain she is not," Stuart replied. "However, I will cover all of this lady's medical expenses until she has fully recovered."

"Thank you, Mr. Gonzales."

After leaving the relief center, Stuart looked up at the sun, his eyes filled with sorrow.

"Carey, where on earth are you?"

Why? Why had he searched so many places and still couldn't find her?

Would he ever see Carey again in his lifetime?

Hot tears streamed from Stuart's eyes.

That afternoon, Stuart took a flight back to The Capital.

Meanwhile, in Valerium.

For three consecutive days, Carey took the medicine Tina brought her.

Although Carey's complexion was still a bit pale, she could clearly feel that her body was much lighter, as if a thousand-pound weight had suddenly been lifted from her shoulders.

But at night, Carey had that nightmare again.

A car crash.

Followed by the sound of a baby crying.

One cry after another, tugging at Carey's heart.

"Freya! Freya!" Carey jerked awake from the nightmare, her body drenched, the covers damp with sweat.

By now, it was already morning.

A ray of dawn shone through the window.

Carey threw off the covers, got out of bed, walked to her desk, picked up a pen, and wrote down this name.

Freya.

Cosplay?

Caitlin's eyes lit up.

Since Rosemary knew her, she was worried that showing up at Vance Castle might attract the Vance family's attention and ruin her plans.

Caitlin had been thinking about whether she should find a highly skilled makeup artist to create a disguise for her.

But if it was a cosplay party, she wouldn't have to worry.

Caitlin raised an eyebrow and said, "I choose 'The Shadow'."

'The Shadow' was a female character from an internationally best-selling anime. She always wore a half-mask and a black dress, exuding a cold and aloof aura. To this day in the anime, no one had seen 'The Shadow's' true face.

Celia paused for a moment. "Freya, are you sure you want to choose The Shadow?"

The Shadow wasn't a particularly standout character.

And you couldn't even see her face.

Almost no one ever cosplayed this character at parties.

Because parties were for people to show off their beauty, and Caitlin's choice was the equivalent of hiding hers.

Celia thought it would be a real shame for a striking beauty like Caitlin to hide her face behind a mask.

"Yes, I'm choosing The Shadow." Caitlin nodded slightly, looked at Celia, and then added, "By the way, Celia, when we get to Vance Castle, don't call me Freya. Just call me Catie."
