  As Trevon walked away, Cindy picked up the card from the ground.Only a total idiot would turn down money, right?Holding the card, Cindy felt a surge of energy.Ever since Ava came the Hillside Villa, they had dinner together every night.Lately, when Cindy caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror, she noticed she had put on some weight, but she looked more vibrant and healthy.Tonight, Ava made a massive bowl of oyster and seafood congee because Trevon was joining them.When Cindy laid eyes on it, she almost burst into fits of laughter.And when she saw Trevon's face turn sour, it was impossible to hold back her laughter any longer.Ava found it amusing too, but she restrained herself from laughing too loudly in front of Trevon. She cautiously said, "Mr. Gilson, this is what Sir Gilson asked me to cook for you. Don't blame me."Mentioning Franklin silenced Trevon.Ava thought it was funny and happily brought a bowl of chicken soup loaded with red dates and wolfberries to Cindy. "Mad

  This time, Cindy replied.Cindy: [Sorry, I was in the shower and missed your message. Okay, I'll go.]With just a few simple words, she answered all the questions.Rohan chuckled lightly and quickly typed a response.Rohan: [How did the conversation with Ashlyn go?]Cindy wrapped her wet hair in a towel and turned to grab a piece of paper from the table, wiping off the water droplets on her phone screen. She replied, [It's still in progress.]Rohan: [Are you feeling confident?]Cindy sighed and thought for a moment: [Hard to say.]Rohan paused for a moment, and the image of Trevon grabbing Cindy away last time naturally flashed through his mind. He raised his hand and rubbed his brow.If Trevon found out that Rohan was the one who advised Cindy on the divorce settlement, he probably wouldn't let Rohan off easily.Rohan took a puff of his cigar, his brown eyes slightly darkened. He typed four words for Cindy: [Reach out if you need anything!]Cindy: [Thanks, I definitely will.]After en

  For a whole 72 hours, Milo's spirit stuck around, and Cindy reluctantly thought that maybe this one time she wouldn't get knocked up. ...Since that night, Cindy hadn't seen Trevon again, which messed up her plans.So she took the initiative to ask Milo, and he told her that Trevon was caught up with a project overseas and would be back in a few days.Cindy guessed he was returning for the annual Global Economic Summit.It was happening in Inkopolis this year, and as Mrs. Gilson, Cindy was invited too.Cindy happily agreed.A big event like that would give her plenty of attention and discussions, which suited her plan to showcase her "loving" relationship with Trevon.The more sensational, the better, so she could gain maximum advantage in public opinion.Christopher had recovered and could leave the hospital.Cindy went to pick him up and bumped into Annie, who was also getting discharged.When Annie saw Cindy, she clenched her fists without thinking.Ignoring the hostility, Cindy gr

  After they finished hooking up, neither of them moved, and the only sound in the car was their heavy breathing.A few minutes later, Trevon grabbed his clothes and chucked them at Cindy. His voice was rough as he said, "Don't take the damn pill."Cindy's body felt completely drained, too exhausted to even speak. She simply nodded.Not take the pill? And then end up pregnant, getting kicked out in the process? Cindy wasn't dumb enough to believe that bringing a child into a loveless marriage would be anything but cruel. Besides, considering Trevon's cruelty, it was questionable whether the child would even be safe.Trevon peered down at her, his eyes fixated on her delicate, fair face, still flushed from their romp. He raised an eyebrow and remarked, "Seems like you had a good time.""..." Cindy blushed crimson at his unabashed comment and grabbed a piece of clothing to smack him. "Get out, I need to get dressed."In a rare moment, Trevon smirked. "Send someone else to take care of Chri

  Ashlyn could tell that Cindy was having second thoughts."Miss Austen, it's not easy to take a chunk of money out of your husband. If you don't have the guts, the end result will be him kicking you out, and you won't get a dime," Ashlyn warned.Ashlyn packed away the papers and grabbed a tissue to wipe her mouth, then another to clean her hands.Cindy was almost done with her lemon tea when she nodded and said, "Alright, I'll figure out ways to get evidence."...Cindy returned to the hospital, weighed down by worries.Christopher was asleep, and she quietly sat by his side.After half an hour, she took out her phone and opened her chat with Trevon on Instagram. She typed and deleted numerous messages, almost ready to hit send, but when Christopher stirred, Cindy quickly deleted it.Another half hour passed, and Cindy let out a long sigh. She decided to head upstairs first to smooth things over with Trevon and maybe gather some "evidence of infidelity" along the way.Annie occupied the

  "You just are going to do two things. First, you gotta make it seem like you love your husband more than he loves you, like it's some kind of grand love story. This will set the stage for getting sympathy from women when the public opinion battle begins."Cindy was shocked beyond belief by this suggestion. She never saw it coming from Ashlyn."Second, you are going to gather evidence of your husband's cheating during this marriage. Photos and videos would be ideal, especially the steamy kind.""..."Cindy's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Ashlyn.Pretending to be all lovey-dovey with Trevon and catching him in the act of cheating, either of those things seemed impossible for her!Trevon didn't love her, so how could she even get a chance of displaying public love? And as for getting photos of him being unfaithful in bed, how was she supposed to know when he'd be getting cozy with someone else and be able to snap pictures..."That sounds really tough," Cindy honestly admitte
