THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 828

Will was certain he had seen Caitlin walk this way, but she had vanished in the blink of an eye. Will even began to wonder if he had imagined it.

"My Lord," a Vance family servant said, approaching him respectfully. "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Will first shook his head, then asked, "Did you see anyone walk past here a moment ago?"

"No, I haven't," the servant replied.

No one? The answer only deepened Will's confusion. Where could she have gone? It wasn't as if she could just disappear into thin air. It was very strange. Had she gone back to the ballroom?

With that thought, Will turned and headed back.

Returning to the party, Will made a beeline for Celia, who was looking bored and scrolling through her phone. But Caitlin was nowhere to be seen.

Will frowned. Caitlin wasn't in the ballroom, and he couldn't find her outside either. Where was she?

Just as he was about to say something, Miriam appeared at his side. "Lord Will, care to join me for a drink?"

Will was always a gentleman with beautiful women, but this was Miriam. He had his three rules: no taking the initiative, no taking responsibility, and no getting involved with anyone in their social circle.

He shook his head. "My apologies, but I'm not drinking tonight."

Thankfully, the lack of surveillance cameras made her task much easier. All she had to do was avoid the patrols, without worrying about hidden cameras capturing her movements. Moreover, most of the security staff had been reassigned to the front hall to maintain order, leaving the vast castle feeling somewhat empty.

When she reached a fork in the path, Caitlin paused, picturing the map in her mind. If she remembered correctly, east led to Dowager Vance's quarters, south to Rosemary's, and the northernmost wing was where Flavia Cartwright resided. She needed to head north.

The distance from the ballroom to Flavia's residence wasn't far. About ten minutes later, Caitlin arrived.

As she neared the building, she noticed several servants standing guard at the entrance.

It was suspicious enough that the Vances wouldn't allow Flavia to attend the banquet in the front hall in the first place.
