Gwyneth sneered, “Now you think you can show off in front of me? Have you forgotten who brought you from the small
She added, “Bella, I can still take you back to where you’re from!”
town to the city?”
Gwyneth said coldly, tearing down Bella’s pride right in front of the socialites. Some of them gasped in shock. Bella’s pupils shrank sharply she never expected Gwyneth to humiliate her so openly.
In Bella’s mind, the Gwyneth she knew would never go so low as to attack someone’s roots.
Bella’s anger flared up as she was about to defend her background to the socialites, But just then, Zachary showed up on the stairs, clearly stunned by Gwyneth’s words,
Before Zachary could speak. Bella ran forward tearfully and said, “Zachary, it’s my fault for upsetting Gwyneth. She only said those things when she was angry—please don’t blame her.”
Gwyneth didn’t even bother to listen. Zachary looked at Bella, but before he could say anything, the socialites were already exchanging teasing looks.
“Wow. Bella’s boyfriend is really handsome”
“That’s the heir of the Flynn family! Bella really got lucky to land a guy like that
Bella,smiled shyly and moved closer to Zachary. As he listened to the gossip, Zachary walked with her to the middle of the room and said clearly. “Bella and I are not a couple.”
As soon as he finished, his eyes looked at Gwyneth Bella and the others froze in shock, their eyes instantly locking onto Gwyneth like laser sights. Gwyneth thought. ‘Damn it, don’t drag me into this mess.
Gwyneth led Elowen out of the cafe. As soon as they stepped outside, Harrison called. Before Elowen could figure out what Gwyneth’s current relationship was, his commanding voice came through the phone: “Come to a party tonight.”
“Okay” Gwyneth agreed easily.
The call was short, but Elowen sensed something was wrong. She thought, “Wait, isn’t Zachary supposed to be Gwyneth’s boyfriend! But he’s upstairs with another woman. So who was this guy calling to invite Gwyneth to the party?
Elowen leaned in and lowered her voice. “Hey, who was that guy on the phone just now?”
„Gwyneth waved her phone with a smirk. “My husband. And definitely not the guy upstairs.”
“H–husband?” Elowen gasped. “Gwyneth, you’re actually married?”
Many people around turned to look. Worried her identity might get found out, Gwyneth quickly pulled her away. Gwyneth thought, ‘It’s just getting married–do you really think it’s worth all this fuss?
Once in the car, Elowen grabbed Gwyneth’s shoulder and asked, “Really, what’s going on with you and Zachary?”
“We’re done for good. That’s all in the past, so let’s not talk about it, Gwyneth said, clearly not interested when she mentioned Zachary
Even though Elowen hadn’t seen Gwyneth in years, she knew better than to bring up a sore spot. After all, Gwyneth, of all people, knew how it felt to end a long relationship that lasted over ten years.
Elowen smoothly changed the subject. “It’s still early. Want to dieck out my studior”
“Sure,”
Gwyneth said, her eyes lighting up just a little.
Elowen gave the driver an address. Her new studio in Calvocity was spotless–full of instruments, with several big practice rooms and professional recording studios. The warm amber lights and wooden floors made i feel cozy.
