"A vicious woman like you doesn’t deserve to be the president’s wife!"
"You don't need to come to tonight’s banquet!"
Not long after the call ended, the doorbell rang. A man in a black suit stood at the door, carefully cradling a large gift box in his arms.
"Miss Delilah Watson, this is from Mr. Ludwig."
I nodded and accepted it.
When I stepped into the banquet hall, a group of young girls from the company were huddled together, whispering and stealing glances.
Their eyes were full of envy as they looked toward Alison, who stood dazzlingly beside Blake.
"I wish I could be as lucky as Miss Rainford. President Jennings is so handsome and rich and he spoils her to the bone. Just today's outfit alone must cost over eight figures!"
"What's there to envy? No matter how much he pampers her, she's still just a mistress. President Jennings already has a wife!"
"Wife? I heard after Miss Rainford’s miscarriage, President Jennings flew into a rage and even forced his wife to abort her baby too! Looks like the position of Mrs. Jennings will be replaced soon..."
I stayed silent, quietly making my way to the poolside, a glass of wine in hand.
