Mr. CEO's Ex-Wife: A Cunning Comeback-Chapter 304: News About The Charity Dinner

The commenters were confused. Just a moment ago, they were talking about how Chantelle and Natalia looked like the perfect pair. Now, out of nowhere, news appeared online saying Daniel was engaged to someone else.

People started wondering if Daniel and Chantelle had actually gotten divorced a long time ago. Some even questioned if Camille and Natalia had something to do with their breakup.

Everyone online had their own opinion about the situation.

Camille was confused too. She had gathered a group of reporters last night, hoping they would catch Natalia sneaking into the lounge and finding Daniel with Chantelle. Then, she planned to use those photos to create a scandal about a love triangle and drive a wedge between Chantelle and Natalia.

But those reporters didn’t get the photos she wanted. Instead, they released a story that was totally different from what she had planned.

At first, Camille was so angry that she tore up the whole bedroom. But when she saw the news about her engagement, she got so excited and she nearly fainted. She rushed to find Rowan and confirm if it was true.

"Ro, is it true that I’m engaged to Daniel?"

Rowan paused for a moment, then gave a nod. "Your photo with Mr. Wilson is everywhere. He has to give us an explanation."

"Perfect! Ro, you always treat me the best!" Camille hugged Rowan, then grabbed her bag and walked out.

She had come back to Easthan for Daniel. Now that she finally got what she wanted, she quickly forgot all the bad things that happened before.

At the Western Hill Villa.

Chantelle woke up early and realized she was once again in Daniel’s arms.

"Good morning, Chantelle." Daniel greeted her enthusiastically.

Hearing his voice made her heart race. She quickly turned her head and looked around.

This wasn’t her room. Feeling annoyed, Chantelle ran her fingers through her messy hair.

This damn sleepwalking! Why did I end up in Daniel’s room again?

"Good morning, Mr. Wilson."

Chantelle jumped out of bed. She believed Daniel wouldn’t dare do anything to her. Even if they slept in the same bed, it meant nothing to her. So she wasn’t worried at all.

"Mommy, there’s news about the charity dinner." Stephanie walked in and handed her a tablet.

Seeing the proud look on Stephanie’s face, Daniel suddenly had a bad feeling.

Chantelle clicked on the news link about Camille and Daniel’s marriage. She skimmed through it, then looked at Daniel with a calm expression. "So, when is it going to be official?"

"What are you talking about?" Daniel asked, looking confused.

When he noticed the headline, "Change of Heart! Daniel Wilson Marries Socialite," he quickly understood what she meant.

Still, he didn’t like how casually Chantelle reacted to it.

Shouldn’t you be jealous?

"Our divorce," Chantelle replied as she gave the tablet back to him. She made a silly face and ran out the door.

Chantelle was heading to the bathroom when a shadow suddenly fell over her. She turned around and saw Daniel staring at her with a sharp, intense look. A wave of guilt hit her out of nowhere.

Wait a second, he’s the one getting married. Why am I feeling guilty?

She looked straight into his eyes. "We’ve been living apart for over three years. This marriage is basically over. All it takes is one of us going to the courthouse to file the papers."

"So, you’re upset because I haven’t done anything to show we’re still married?" Daniel replied sharply and his jaw tightened as anger boiled inside his heart.

He looked like he was seconds away from pulling her into the bedroom to remind her she was still his wife on paper, but—

"So what if I am?" Chantelle teased him as she lifted her leg and aimed a playful kick between his legs. "Can you even still perform?"

Daniel caught her by the waist and moved her to the bed. "Hmm, I don’t know. Want to find out?"

The look in his eyes was intense and full of desire. Chantelle could tell he wasn’t joking. She knew she had lost this round.

"Feeling better now?" she asked, trying to change the mood.

"Do you want a demonstration?" Daniel murmured as he leaned closer and blew a warm air against her ear. "I’ll show you if you want."

Chantelle blushed as the memory of their kiss in the lounge yesterday came back to her.

"You should go find your fiancée, Mr. Wilson."

She didn’t really think Daniel was engaged to Camille. That’s why she said it jokingly.

But the moment the words left her mouth, she sensed a shift in his mood. It felt like he was holding back his anger.

The warmth in his eyes disappeared. Now, they were cold and sharp, like ice.

"If that’s what you want, Mrs. Wilson, I’ll do as you say."

He got up and walked out without another word.

Once his weight was gone, Chantelle suddenly felt a strange emptiness.

Daniel had really left. He didn’t leave anything behind.

She didn’t see him for the next few days. Online, there were constant updates, photos, and news about Camille visiting the Wilson Group Of Companies and the Wilson family home.

"Chantie! Be careful with my gown! I spent two months making that!" Thea yanked the hot iron out of Chantelle’s hand.

Chantelle blinked, snapping out of her thoughts. Thea pulled her over to the sofa, and they both sat down.

"Okay, spill it. What happened?" Thea asked, opening a bag of chips. She always kept snacks ready for moments like this.

Chantelle let out a sigh. "That’s not a very nice way to start."

"Come on, let’s snack and talk," Thea said, pushing the bag toward her.

Chantelle let out another sigh. "Thea, do you think it’s time for me to leave with the kids?"

When she first came back, her only plan was to get revenge and then leave.

So why did she stay?

Daniel’s face flashed in her mind.

"Ooh, are you feeling jealous after seeing the news about Daniel and Camille’s engagement?" Thea asked as she already knew what was on her mind. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

To Thea’s surprise, Chantelle shook her head. "I don’t care who he marries."

Their relationship had ended six years ago.

"Then why do you look so distracted? I heard Mr. Wilson is having dinner with Camille tonight. Let’s go spy on them."

Chantelle shook her head again.

"Chantie! If he’s yours, don’t let someone else take him away even if you say you don’t want him! I didn’t think you’d turn into such a coward!"

"Thea, I’m really thinking about taking the kids back to Carcosa. Trenton is back."
