Revenge Wears My Ring novel Chapter 298

Outside Fletcher Group, the evening rush was in full swing. People streamed from the building in waves, the lobby buzzing with the end-of-workday energy.

Gwyneth and Serena stepped out of the elevator side by side, chatting about which new restaurant to try that night—a little celebration for finally shaking off a run of bad luck.

But just as they reached the building’s entrance, something felt off.

Instead of hurrying home, clusters of employees lingered just outside, excitement lighting up their faces as they whispered and cast eager glances toward the curb. The air was thick with the electric curiosity of people sensing drama.

Serena followed the crowd’s gaze and spotted a sleek black Mercedes parked out front. Leaning casually against the car was a tall, striking man whose dark suit fit him impeccably—Bennett. Who else could it be?
