Chapter 86
“In the adult world, everyone takes what they need.” Ellora laughed dryly. “Let’s not talk about that. Let’s think about where we can go after lunch. I haven’t been out in ages.”
Ellora did not mention that she was forced. Last night, when the man came back, he still had the smell of another woman’s perfume and lipstick marks on him. Ellora had refused and resisted, but the man’s strength was much greater than hers.
She had to give in.
Fortunately, the man had been angered by her resistance and had not gone through with it. Otherwise, she would really be
afraid it would hurt her unborn child.
“If you need anything, just tell me. I can help you.” Cynthia did not say much, but she did offer to help.
“As long as you’re okay, I’m relieved. If you have trouble with anything after the divorce, remember to tell me. I’ll work hard to support you!” Ellora said lightly, her beautiful eyes curved as she smiled.
“I should be the one saying that to you,” Cynthia finally said.
“What?” Ellora asked.
“I have a lot of money,” Cynthia replied.
“How much?” Ellora asked.
“200,000,000 USD. It was part of our divorce settlement,” Cynthia repeated. Ellora trusted her.
Ellora was shocked. 200,000,000 USD? How many zeroes was that? She could never earn that much even if she acted for her whole life.
“Did he cheat on you, or did you catch him doing something?” Ellora got excited and thought of the crucial point.
After all, that was 200,000,000 USD, not 20,000 USD, and it was definitely not 2 USD.
Ellora could not believe a man would be willing to give so much money if he did not love the woman.
Cynthia was speechless and rubbed her forehead.
Ellora was the kind of person who could make others let down their guard easily.
Cynthia did not want Ellora to worry, so she mentioned that she had money. Yet, she had forgotten the reason behind the large sum.
“Really? Does he have someone else?” Ellora widened her eyes.
After a moment’s consideration, Cynthia replied, “It’s similar to your situation.”
“His ex–lover?” Ellora’s temper flared up. “I can’t believe I thought he was good to you and someone you could trust for a lifetime. It turns out he’s just a scumbag.”
Cynthia did not respond.
She could not.
When Ellora’s emotions exploded, it was not something anyone could handle.
“He just gave you 200,000,000 USD, and that’s it?!” Ellora’s anger flared up even more. “With a guy like this, you should leave him with nothing. He didn’t even tell you he had an ex–lover when he married you.”
“No!”
Ellora stood up.
Cynthia was confused.
Before she could react, Ellora had already grabbed her hand. “Take me to see him. I have to give him a good scolding! He dared
to bully my best friend. Let me expose his scumbag behavior, and the righteous keyboard warriors will destroy him!”
“No need. We’re getting the…” Cynthia said, grabbing Ellora’s wrist with her other hand.
She stopped in the middle of her sentence, not saying the words ‘divorce certificate‘.
Ellora noticed Cynthia’s expression was off and immediately sat down, asking with concern, “What’s wrong?”
Cynthia checked her pulse rate more seriously than ever before, and Ellora was left stunned by her actions.
“Are you pregnant?” Cynthia asked tentatively, looking at her with a serious expression.
