Karma Doesn’t Sleep: The Revenge Queen Rises novel Chapter 317

She wore a tight dress and sky-high heels, with a designer bag slung over her shoulder. Her hair was loose and shiny, and she left a cloud of expensive perfume wherever she went.

Did she even realize what kind of place this was?

Dr. Wade’s opinion of Will took a nosedive. Seriously, Will? Does he just introduce anyone to him now?

Just then, Clive showed up.

He’d been waiting downstairs forever, bored out of his mind when Kristen didn’t come back. Eventually, he remembered Emmery saying Dr. Wade was upstairs, so he decided to try his luck and go up himself.

All he wanted was a chance to say hi to Dr. Wade, maybe get on his radar.

But as soon as he turned the corner, he saw Dr. Wade and Kristen shaking hands. Dr. Wade’s face gave nothing away, but Kristen was grinning like they were old friends.

Clive let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding. He put on his best smile and strode over, sounding extra friendly. “Kristen, there you are!” He made sure to act close to her in front of Dr. Wade, hoping to show off their “connection.”

If Kristen and Dr. Wade were friends, he just needed to look like he and Kristen were even tighter.

Dr. Wade had spent years overseas and barely knew anything about local gossip. People said he still used a flip phone and didn’t even have social media. There was no way he knew about Clive’s marriage to Amelia.

Clive’s grin grew. He was so focused on Dr. Wade, he missed the way Kristen’s eyes flickered with panic.

“Dr. Wade, nice to meet you. I’m Clive, general manager at Cloudcrest—and Kristen’s—” He was about to say “boyfriend” when he noticed another woman entering, calm and collected.

“Amelia?” Clive blurted, eyes going wide before he quickly smoothed out his expression. He ignored her and turned back to Dr. Wade. “Dr. Wade, it’s great to meet you.”

But Amelia had heard everything. Clive had almost called himself Kristen’s boyfriend.

He refused to divorce her, but strutted around with his mistress in public.

Amelia’s lips curled into a cold, mocking smile. “Salmeron, you and Ms. Watts are really inseparable, huh? Like the picture-perfect couple, always together.”

Clive shot her a sharp glare, warning her to keep quiet.

Even Dr. Wade, who was usually pretty dense about these things, could feel the tension in the room.
