The Abandoned Bride’s Flash Marriage Novel - Chapter 40

Chapter 40 Diana froze, stunned. 'How could she twist it like that? The room fell silent. Paying for Gwyneth was one thing: paying for the Lopez family was a whole different story. Diana knew the truth: even if she paid the million, the Lopez family might not thank her. She didn't want to be the one to foot the bill. Yet Gwyneth's logic was airtight, and she couldn't find a way to argue against it. Just as the room was thick with tension, Melanie sauntered in, her arms laden with designer bags.

She tossed her sunglasses aside with a bright smile . "Hey, everyonel What's the big deal? Did you all hear about my date with Adrian today?" Gasps rippled through the room-Melanie had already hooked up with Adrian Lopez, the youngest Lopez scion! That fat? Diana , seeing her daughter as a lifeline, rushed over and linked arms with her. "Really? How was he?" "He was amazing! Super charming, took me out for a fancy dinner, and bought me all this stuff.

Gwyneth just smiled faintly. She'd heard of Adrian-a spoiled brat who couldn't hold a candle to Harrison. But he was the Lopez family's only heir, and clearly, Diana had her sights ser high "At least Harrison and I are legally married" Gwyneth said coolly.

"One day, Adrian will inherit everything and marry met "I'll be waiting" Gwyneth said, glancing at her watch. She turned to leave. You all handle your money and your schemes. I'm not wasting any more ume here. Goodbye" "Who's scheming Melanie shouted after her. As Gwyneth turned to retort, a cup flew across the room and bit her right on the forehead. The room gasped in shock. Melanie's hand was still raised, her eyes wide with panic.
