THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 498

“You can’t keep a secret forever. The truth always comes out in the end.”

As soon as she spoke, Caitlin waved ahead and called out, “Aunt Hyacinth.”

Hyacinth strolled over with a bright, doting smile, taking Caitlin’s hand in hers. “Freya, you must have been waiting a while.”

Hyacinth absolutely loved spending time with Caitlin. Even more, she relished every opportunity to brag about her niece to anyone who’d listen.

“Not at all, I’ve just been on my phone,” Caitlin replied, grinning. “Aunt Hyacinth, Aunt Stephanie and the others are already here. Shall we go?”

Tonight, Caitlin was out with all eight of her aunts for dinner and karaoke—a ladies-only gathering, no men allowed.

Originally, Hannah was supposed to come too, but something came up at the last minute and she couldn’t make it.

“Alright then.” Hyacinth nodded and fell in step beside Caitlin, never once sparing so much as a glance for Katrina.

Watching the two of them walk away, Katrina stood frozen, her expression souring.

Caitlin’s words echoed in her mind: “You can’t keep a secret forever.”

What did Caitlin mean by that?

Did she know something?

No. That couldn’t be. She was the first one who found Xavier that day.

Sure, there’d been someone else lying unconscious next to him, barely clinging to life, but Katrina was certain both of them had just washed up on the shore after the accident.

If she hadn’t rushed Xavier to the hospital right away, he would have died. She was the one who saved his life. That made her his savior.

“Katrina? Katrina, are you okay?” Jeanette gave her a little nudge.

Snapping back to reality, Katrina forced a smile and turned to Jeanette, trying to sound casual. “Oh, it’s nothing. I just think Freya’s kind of a show-off.”

Jeanette glanced in the direction Caitlin had gone, her eyes flickering with unconcealed envy. “She’s the Richards’ granddaughter, and the sole heir to the Gonzales estate. With a background like that, a little showing off is to be expected.”

Some people just got all the luck. Even if Caitlin never lifted a finger her entire life, she’d still live like royalty.

By the time the karaoke session with her aunts wrapped up and Caitlin got home, it was already after seven.
