THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 479

Katrina hadn’t expected Freya to be arriving on the same flight.

If they both made it to Neon Spire on the same day, maybe their paths had already crossed—just two strangers in the airport, never realizing who the other was.

Xavier grinned. “I doubt it. My sister didn’t land until after five in the afternoon.”

After five?

That was uncanny.

Katrina’s eyes widened. “I got in a little after five, too!”

Now even Xavier couldn’t ignore the coincidence.

“Seriously? Then you two might have seen each other without even knowing it!”

Katrina slipped her arm through Xavier’s, leaning closer. “Xavier, I have to admit, I’m pretty nervous.”

“Nervous?” Xavier glanced at her, concerned. “About what?”

“I’m worried your sister won’t like me.”

And Katrina truly was anxious.

After all, Freya was the darling of the Richards family—practically wrapped in silk and kept safe from the world. If Freya said a single negative word about her, Katrina would be finished before she even had a chance.

Xavier gave a warm chuckle. “You don’t have to worry. My sister isn’t the type to create drama. She’s sweet, beautiful, and I’m sure you two will get along just fine.”

To Xavier, Caitlin was the best sister anyone could ever ask for. She was everything he’d ever hoped for in a sibling.

Katrina was a good person too, so there was no reason to think she and Caitlin wouldn’t hit it off.

“Really?” Katrina asked hopefully.

“Of course. I mean every word.”

Katrina trusted Xavier’s judgment—he was never one to make empty promises, much less lie. If he said Freya had a great personality, then she must be easy to get along with. As long as Freya was a normal, reasonable girl, Katrina could relax.

“Oh, that reminds me,” Katrina said suddenly, “I brought a gift for your sister. Could you take a look and tell me if you think she’ll like it?”

Xavier looked surprised. “You bought Freya a present?”

“Absolutely,” Katrina replied with a bright smile. “Your sister is like my sister now. If the Richards family holds her so dear, then as her future sister-in-law, I should spoil her too.”

Xavier’s smile deepened. “Thank you, Katrina.”

“Oh, come on!” Katrina playfully scolded him, then tugged him toward the bedroom. “Come help me decide. Otherwise, I’ll be a nervous wreck all night.”

Inside, Katrina opened her suitcase and took out the gifts she’d carefully selected: a designer handbag worth a small fortune and a luxury necklace. Together, they’d cost her over twenty grand.

The Richards family was no ordinary household. And Freya wasn’t just any society heiress—she might have grown up in the countryside, but now she was the beloved treasure of both the Gonzales and Richards families. Katrina knew she couldn’t just give her something off the shelf.
