The Genius Ex-Wife’s Revenge Portfolio novel Chapter 90

When Ella stepped out of the bathroom, David was already gone. He’d probably left because of a call from Jessa. Ella caught her reflection and gave herself a wry little smile.

Her phone started ringing just then. It was Rachel.

She picked up. “Hey, Ella,” Rachel said. “Jessa’s got a few friends over today. You should come hang out with us.”

That was suspicious. Since when was Rachel ever this friendly?

Still, Ella kept her tone light. “Sure. I’ll head over now.”

Fiona showed up in a rush as soon as she heard. “Ella, I don’t trust this. Rachel’s definitely up to something. Plus, Mike’s out of prison again. Do you really want to go to the Irvine house?”

Ella looked calm and steady. “I need to check something for myself.”

Fiona wasn’t convinced, so she decided to tag along.

When they got to the Irvine house, the place was buzzing. Jessa’s friends were all there, including Cedric and his usual group of rich kids.

Cedric spotted Ella and immediately frowned. “Ella, why are you here?”

Jessa jumped in with a smile. “I invited her, Cedric.”

Cedric scowled. “Why would you do that? We don’t want her around.”

Ella didn’t even flinch. She just blinked at Cedric, her lips curving into a playful, not-quite-smile. “Relax. I’m not exactly dying to hang out with rookies anyway.”

Cedric was left speechless. He was no rookie. He was the best. But the memory of their last gaming session—and his total defeat—made his face flush. He shot to his feet. “Ella, face me in a rematch.”

He needed to win, just once, to save his pride.
