Wife You Discarded is a Billionaire's Crush novel Chapter 147

A hot tear slid down Liliana's cheek, landing with a soft pat on her blouse. She snapped back to reality, turning her head and quickly wiping away the evidence.

*Stay strong? Stay strong being his mistress?* Was Sylvia feeling wronged because their affair had to be kept secret? What was there to feel wronged about? At least she had his private affection and indulgence.

And what did she have? As the official Mrs. Forrest, she had a marriage certificate and nothing else. Was she not the one who should feel wronged?

"It feels wrong to eavesdrop like this. Let's go," Nina whispered, oblivious to Liliana's turmoil. She tugged on her arm, and they tiptoed away from the door. Liliana let herself be pulled along, numb. When Sylvia cried, someone was there to comfort her, to wipe her tears. When she cried, she had to do it in silence.

They had just reached the corner of the hallway when a voice called out from behind them.

"Designer Shepherd. Designer Preston."

It was Sylvia.

Nina stopped, forcing Liliana to halt as well. She could feel two pairs of eyes boring into her back, and the blood in her veins turned to ice. She didn't need to turn around to picture the triumphant smirk on Sylvia's face. This had to be a setup, she realized. Was this Sylvia's revenge for her answering Cedric's phone that night?

The air was thick with Sylvia's need to dominate her. Anyone who knew the three of them would have felt it. Of the four people present, only Nina remained clueless.

And Cedric… he acted as if he didn't notice either. He stood slightly behind Sylvia, his black suit jacket draped over his arm. His gaze was calm as he looked at Liliana and Nina, offering a slight nod of acknowledgment.
