Ex-Husband's Regret (by Evelyn M.M) novel Chapter 131

I shrug “Sure, if that’s how you want to take it”

“One word from me and Rowan will be on your ass…we’ve danced this game before Ava. You know all I have to tell Rowan is that you’ve been rude to me and he will blow up on you”

Before, that would have made me bow down. I desperately didn’t want to have any more problems with Rowan, so I would let her humiliate me. She would revel in it. Feeling powerful that she was able to reduce me to nothing.

I give her a smile. “Go ahead. I honestly don’t give a fuck. In fact, why don’t you take your phone out right now and call him?” I challenge her.

“You think I won’t?”

“I’m counting on you doing it” I reply smugly.

Slowly by slowly, the self-esteem I thought I had lost after Ethan betrayed me was starting to come back. Never will I allow a man to make me hit rock bottom again.

“What’s going on here?” a stern voice says.

I look up to find Corrine staring between us. We weren’t friends, more like acquaintances or business partner. Her father’s construction firm is the one I use when building Hope Houses. She is the owner of this restaurant. The construction firm is a family company and she was a shareholder, but the restaurants were all hers.

“This woman here is causing a disturbance, I suggest you kick her out” Anita rushes to speak. “We were just minding our own business when she started calling me names”

I smirk. Folding my hands across my chest as I watch her make a fool of herself.

Everyone knows who Corrine is. No one though, knows that we know each other. I was waiting for the show to start. Unlike Rowan, Corinne wasn’t easily fooled.

“Is that so?” she asks, her voice low.

I never let myself get too close to her. She wanted us to be friends, but at that time I thought that no one would want a loser like me as a friend. Instead I kept her at arm length. Only talking to her when business was involved.

Anita nods her head. She gives her friends a small signal and they all agree with her. What a bunch of idiots.

“Do you think I’m stupid? Do you think this entire place has no cameras?” he asks them. “I saw everything and then you dare lie to me?”

I see the moment Anita realizes she has fucked up. She swallows hard, panic etched on her face.
