Divorcing 41
Chapter 41: Unexpected Twist
Cathy stormed back to Michael, her heart burning with resentment towards Chloe.
A sly glint flashed in Lucy's eyes.
"What's up? Argued with Chloe again? She's always had a bit of a temper since she was a kid, but it's not entirely her fault, you know. It's all because..."
Lucy whispered a few words into Cathy's ear, and instantly, Cathy's gloomy face brightened up.
She shot a glance at Chloe nearby, let out a cold chuckle, and strutted over.
Chloe took a breather on the lounge couch, and Quinn handed her a glass of juice.
She glanced at the juice and chuckled, "I'm not a kid, you know."
She thought, "At the very least, they could've handed me a glass of champagne to keep up appearances."
Quinn plopped down next to her and said, "Staying sharp is never a bad idea."
Chloe nodded in agreement, glancing around.

"Maybe we just weren't meant to be."
Chloe sighed and thought, "Maybe it's best to just leave."
Just then, Cathy's voice echoed in her ear again.
"Chloe, I'm curious. You don't have a job or savings, and your mom's in a mental hospital. How did you even get into this. party?"
Did you seriously seduce your way in here?
A glint of triumph flashed in Cathy's eyes.
"I've called security already. Let's see how you embarrass yourself. Michael will divorce you on the spot!"Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Chloe turned to Cathy, her patience thin. She couldn't believe how dumb Cathy was so much that she didn't even bother saying another word. Divorce? Perfect! That's exactly what she's been wanting!
Security arrived quickly, but Chloe just flashed an invitation for them to check.
As expected, Chloe was an official guest. She even signed in at the entrance.
She donated a blue diamond necklace that sold for $12 million

at auction.
Cathy thought Lucy was telling the truth, so that's why she had the guts to shout out.
She sneered at Chloe, saying she was so lowly that she had to rely on a man to crash the party without an invitation.
The security guard announced Chloe's donation, and the crowd around her sneered in disdain.
"Look at her, trying to mess with others and ending up screwing herself over. What an idiot!" "Is she just jealous of her looks?"
"Who knows? But isn't this girl the Swift family's young miss?"
Whispers buzzed around her, and Cathy's face darkened.
Chloe let out a chuckle, a hint of disdain flickering in her eyes.
"Ms. Swift, do you believe me now?"
Chloe's questioning hit Cathy hard, making her feel even worse.
"It's not me saying you didn't get an invite, it's Lucy. She also mentioned she saw your resignation letter to Paramount Airlines..."
Lucy mentioned that Chloe's mom has been in the hospital for years, and the medical bills are a huge burden.

So she figured Chloe must have quit her job because some guy was taking care of her.
Lucy, watching the drama unfold, couldn't believe how dumb Cathy was to just parrot her exact words.
She glared at Cathy with disdain, then stepped forward, a hint of hurt in her eyes.
"Cathy, I said Chloe's under a lot of pressure, not that she didn't get an invite. Did you mix it up?”
Lucy had an angelic face.
Hardly anyone doubted her words.
Cathy stared in shock. That wasn't what she just said.
Lucy quickly distanced herself, leaving Cathy to face the accusations alone.
Cathy was fuming. "You..."
