Madam Wants To Divorce Her Second Husband-Chapter 104

"That is unnecessary, Lucien," Winter refused. She reached to her neck and caressed a white jade necklace she had worn today. "I already wear one right now. I’ll wear this ruby necklace for important events instead since it’s very expensive."

Lucien’s grin slowly dissipated when he saw Winter’s necklace. He didn’t know if it was just a coincidence or if she was using this trick deliberately to make sure that she wouldn’t need to wear the necklace that Lucien had given her.

It’d be good if it was just a coincidence, but knowing Winter, she probably already thought about this.

Meanwhile, Sebastian also had the same question. He didn’t think much of the necklace that Winter wore today, thinking it just looked so pretty on her.

But now, Sebastian believed it was Winter’s way to make sure that Lucien couldn’t touch her.

’She tried to keep herself safe for me...’ Sebastian thought, feeling that his pride as a man and a husband had been restored. ’My wife keeps herself only for me...’

"That is unfortunate, but I’m glad you accepted my gift. It’s a sign of respect, don’t you think, Winter?" Lucien asked, but he glanced at Sebastian who was fuming in silence.

Sebastian was trying his best not to do anything that would ruin the meeting, but this bastard truly tested his patience!

"You’re right. Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s start the meeting today, shall we?"

"Right. Don’t worry, everything should go smoothly as long as your husband follows what we agreed on last night," Lucien said while he shot a hostile gaze at Sebastian.

Sebastian also didn’t even try to act cordial in front of Lucien. He lifted his chin arrogantly and replied, "It all depends whether you will fulfill your promise as well, Mr. LeBlanc."

Cindy sighed as she sat in front of the computer. She had been tasked to check a document in the computer that would be forwarded to Mr. Saenz in a few hours.

She had been working as a secretary intern for more than a week now, and everything was unfortunately too smooth sailing for her liking.

Sebastian was very busy with his job in the office, and whenever Cindy tried to start a conversation with him, he’d simply dismiss her.

He didn’t even try to ask her for anything unless she had no choice, usually when Iris wasn’t there to take up his orders.

Thus, her effort of trying to seduce Sebastian had utterly failed, because that man didn’t even look at her.

’This isn’t right. He seems to have acknowledged my skill as a secretary, but he has zero interest in me. What else should I do to pick his interest? Should I just kill Winter to make him single?’

Of course, it was just a stupid wish she had. She wouldn’t be able to hurt Winter at all, even if she wanted to.

Thus, she could only lament her fate, silently reading the document on the computer screen until she saw the budget and potential income that would come to Goldmine Realty.

"What the—how is that possible?!" Cindy yelled as she was so shocked by the amount of money the company (including Sebastian as the CEO) would earn from his upcoming work with a hotelier magnate.

She had always known that Sebastian was very rich for a young man. But she never expected him to be THAT rich so soon.

’Wait, does that mean, Winter will be even richer? She’s a leech who can’t do anything other than open her legs for Aiden and Sebastian. Damn it, how come she’s so lucky? If only we could trade places.’

The more Cindy imagined how Sebastian would give all of his money to Winter, the angrier she got. He deserved so much better than a widow with a non-functional uterus!

’I don’t understand him. I’m younger, fresher, prettier, and can give him a child. How come he doesn’t want me?!’

Cindy could not hide her envy anymore. She was burning with jealousy and anger. At this point, she wanted to just choke Winter to death for being so damn unfair!

’I can’t let this be. I don’t want her to live such a perfect life while I’m here struggling to no end! I have to do something!’

Cindy grabbed her phone and called her only savior right now. The only person who would side with her no matter what.

Her future mother-in-law.

The call with Camilla was connected soon after, and Cindy quickly rambled her way to make sure that her future mother-in-law listened.

—

"Mom—I mean, Ma’am! Do you know what kind of project that Sebastian takes right now? He’s taking on a big project with a hotelier named Lucien LeBlanc, and the profit that he will make is... oh my god, it’s so much that I don’t even dare to say it out loud!"

"Calm down, Cindy. Don’t let others in your place overhear our conversation," Camilla said as she gently warned Cindy.

Camilla had enough of this stupid bitch who served no purpose for her. Cindy had been very ineffective in seducing Sebastian, and she understood the reason.

Cindy was uglier and dumber than Winter, which was already an achievement on its own. Because Camilla never knew there could be someone dumber than Winter.

So, Camilla wouldn’t blame her son for not taking any interest in Cindy.

However, she still kept this bitch around because she worked closely with Sebastian right now, so she could always get new information from her.

On top of that, Cindy was still Winter’s little sister. She could always use her as an emergency plan in case she had to go against Winter. That dumb bitch seemed to love her family so much, so she could hold Cindy and her mother hostage in the future if necessary,

"Y-yes, Ma’am," Cindy got up from the secretary’s desk and walked to the pantry so she could freely gossip with her future mother-in-law. "What should I do, Ma’am? I can’t believe that Winter will get even richer once Mr. Saenz finishes this project. I’m so angry at her. She’s so greedy that she takes all the good things from me!"
