Chapter 37

Chapter 37 Second–Hand Husband Stella knew what was going on as soon as she walked back into the room and saw Makenna’s bright smile; she didn’t even need to look at Amber’s cards to figure it out.

Amber seemed to have lost all of her rounds while she was away.

“Ms. Reed, she is your ex–husband’s lover, do you really want to lose to her?” She said as she sat down next to Amber. Looking at Amber’s bad cards, she muttered.

“It’s fine, three wins in five rounds,” Amber’s grin and her demeanor have been unchanged since the beginning.

As she chatted with Stella, Amber drew another card, and Makenna then presented her cards, taking this round with a happy smile on her face.

Stella couldn’t say anything while the lady sitting near Makenna spoke, “Amber, you’ve now lost two rounds in a row, so I think it’s game over for you.

All you have to do is apologize to Makenna, and we’ll have the best tattoo artist here to erase the initials from your body,” she triumphantly said.

“Shall we continue, Ms. Reed?” Makenna said softly, looking up at Amber as if she was waiting for her apologies.

“Certainly. Five rounds, three wins, right?” Amber stated firmly as she moved the cards in front of her aside.

“We offered you a chance to surrender, but you squandered it,” the lady said, rolling her eyes at Amber. “You can’t win, Makenna is a fantastic poker player.”

“That’s enough,” Makenna said, mockingly looking at Amber. “I’ll play along since Ms. Reed wants to continue.”

Another round began, and in this room full of ladies, the sound of murmuring rumbled all over the place.

The lady next to Makenna, Chloe Mendez, who sat between Amber and Gigi, was peeling an orange for Gigi, “Gigi how long are you gonna stay in Olkmore this time? Will you be here for the New Year?”

“I’m going to depart after the New Year.” As she drew a card, she remarked, “Nathan Lehman is already here seeking for a lawyer to handle our divorce.”

“If I remember it right, they begged your grandpa for this marriage back then. So they’ve used you and now want a divorce?” Chloe was taken aback, and she became even more wary.

“That’s because...” Gigi muttered halfway, “I’m not someone who can be treated the way they want; I want to see whether any law firm in Olkmore would take this case.”

Amber listened intently as she sorted her cards. She didn’t know much about the Lehman family since they kept a low profile; all she knew was that they were powerful in Olkmore, comparable to the Garland’s position in South Riverside.

Gigi was arrogant because of her grandfather and his power; even when she married into the Lehman family, who had a similar level of power, Gigi still prevailed.

Amber assumed that, perhaps Shonna would have treated her differently if her family hadn’t been in so much trouble when she married Jared, and she wouldn’t have failed so terribly in this marriage.

“Makenna and Jared’s engagement celebration is arranged for the day before New Year, let’s go to the party together since you’ll be here,” Chloe remarked as Amber got caught up in her own.

thoughts.

“Huh? Why is there another engagement party when I heard they previously had one?” Gigi was confused.

“Yeah, but the engagement necklace was snatched by a shameless woman!” Chloe replied, sweeping a glance at Amber. “But this time they’ll only invite close friends from both families over for dinner and Mr. Farrell said they’ll have their wedding on Valentine’s Day next year.”

“A Valentine’s Day wedding? Is that true?” Gigi turned to Makenna.

and wants to have the wedding as soon as possible. The designers are working on the wedding gown. However, we have yet to acquire our rings.”

“Wow, a custom–made wedding gown? Makenna, Mr. Farrell loves you so much!” Chloe exclaimed in an exaggerated tone.

“Ms. Reed, I heard you were wearing a plain dress at your wedding to Mr. Farrell, is that true?” Chloe taunted Amber, who was staring at her cards.

Amber decided to ignore her.

“It’s really humiliating to just wear a random dress at a wedding. Was that because Mr. Farrell forbade you from wearing a gown? Why aren’t you speaking?” Chloe continued after receiving no reaction from Amber. She tapped her on the shoulder with her hand.

“Did you attend their wedding and notice she wasn’t wearing a gown? What you said was pure nonsense,” Stella couldn’t tolerate seeing Amber being bullied.

“Am I not permitted to comment on bridal gowns?” Chloe said mockingly. “And what nonsense have I said?” Chloe defended.

“We all know Mr. Farrell was Ms. Reed’s husband, and your statements imply that Ms. Gardner will have a second–hand husband, right, Ms.

Gardner?” Stella responded in a calm tone, glancing at Makenna.

Chloe didn’t expect Stella to be so sharp–tongued, “Makenna, I didn’t mean it that way, I didn’t imply that Mr. Farrell is a second–hand husband...”

Chloe almost stammered seeing Makenna’s smile faded.

“You didn’t mean it, but why did you keep implying it?” Said Stella, covering her smile with her hands.

Amber, who had been ignoring Chloe, grinned when she heard Stella’s comments; she didn’t expect Stella to defend her.

A man entered the room just as she was ready to make her comment.
