The Genius Ex-Wife’s Revenge Portfolio novel Chapter 116

Jessa actually invited her out for coffee.

Ella didn’t reply right away. Jessa’s tone was playful, almost mocking. “What’s the matter, Ella? Nervous? You’ve had a couple of big wins lately, you should be riding high. Or are you scared of me?”

Ella smirked, lips curling with a hint of challenge. “Alright. See you in a bit.”

She hung up, grabbed her purse, and got ready to leave.

“Thanks,” Ella replied, her voice cool and even.

“But does it really matter? You might have won today, but can you win David?”

Ella met her gaze, silent, waiting.

Jessa’s lips twisted in a half-smile. “And so…”
