I really admired Thora’s flawless choice of words that masked her sarcasm perfectly to make it sound like

a heartfelt compliment.

The mere mention of my marriage with Ashton was bound to confuse those who did not know me well. A

simple search online would produce results of me clinging on to him like a jealous ex-wife.

Thora is still holding grudges on the fact that I had previously forced a kiss on Ashton.

On second thought, she might have miscalculated her move to tarnish my image in Elliot’s mind. If she

succeeded, her master plan would backfire and give me more legitimate excuses to continue latching on

to Ashton.

I simply played along and turned to Ashton. “You’re absolutely right, Ms. Ziegler. Everyone in K City

knows how devoted I am with love. I’ll never let go of my man no matter what happens.”

Thora’s expression darkened instantly as she struggled to control her anger. “What if your love is one-

sided?”

I let out a small yet victorious smile and replied slowly, “Ms. Ziegler, you’ve never been married before,

so it’s natural that you don’t understand the ins and outs of a couple’s married life. As we overcome the

trials and arguments in our relationship together, we build a rapport and strengthen our love for each

other. This emotional bond is exactly why we, and other married couples, want kids?

“Having kids only proves that the man has normal functioning organs, nothing else. No sane man would

reject when a woman offers herself to him for sex. One should know that schemers won’t last forever.”

Thora’s eyes were burning with rage as I continued unceremoniously. “It doesn’t really matter how

outdated the methods are as long as it works. Given your confidence, your relationship with your partner

must be exemplary. But come to think of it, I haven’t seen much of your current relationship being

reported by the paparazzi. Ah, your tight security must have stopped them from obtaining any sort of

materials. Why don’t you share with us which security company you hired?”

Upon hearing my sarcastic retort, Thora was livid beyond words.

Everyone in the VVIP room knew Thora and Ashton were always seen in each other’s company at

various public events. Despite that, the two had zero interactions in private. In her presence, Ashton

never failed to maintain his distance out of courtesy.

Although I was the clingy and shameless ex-wife, I didn’t have to worry about suffering a backlash if I

hugged or kissed him in public because we used to be legally married.

Regardless of how sound Thora’s argument was, moral and the law were on my side.

Both women refused to back down. The silent room was instantly filled with a tensed awkwardness

which was unbearable for the guests.

Joe, being immune to catfights, spoke up fearlessly at this moment, “Well, if you ask me, I think it’s

pointless to fight; the result speaks for itself.”

He then raised his wineglass to no one in particular. “It’s not every day that we get to gather here with

everyone. Why don’t we set aside our differences make a toast to this chance encounter instead?”

After a prolonged silence, Marshall stood up. “I’m with you, Mr. Quinn. Cheers!”

I inhaled sharply and looked at him with disdain. Such an idiot for making the situation ten times more

awkward than it already is.

To think that Emery was wasting such wonderful wine on this person got under my skin, but there was

nothing I could do right now other than hoping for this meal to end as quickly as possible.

Ashton and Elliot remained eerily silent and motionless throughout the whole time.

Marshall refilled his glass and approached the former. “Mr. Fuller, I heard Fuller Corporation has

successfully won the bid for a piece of land lately. Will you consider developing it as a potential joint

venture to share the workload?”
