THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 568

A venomous glint flickered in Ann's downcast eyes. Not only was she silenced, but Petty and Leonore were also trapped. They were clearly in the wrong, caught red-handed. Any attempt to argue would only make them look even more ill-mannered in front of the Capital's most influential figures.

Petty swallowed her pride and walked over to Caitlin. "Miss Gonzales, I misspoke. I apologize. I hope you can forgive my thoughtlessness."

Seeing Petty apologize, Leonore realized the gravity of the situation and followed suit. "Miss Gonzales, I'm sorry. I didn't mean any harm. I hope you'll be the bigger person and let this go."

Caitlin offered a small smile. "As long as you learn from your mistakes. I hope, Miss Somerset and Miss Reed, that you won't make the same one again."

Leonore was seething, but she had to maintain a pleasant facade. "Your words are wise, Miss Gonzales," she said through a forced smile. "I assure you, it won't happen again."

The other guests, witnessing the exchange, murmured their approval. "That was masterfully handled by Miss Gonzales."

"Yes, her ability to command a room is textbook perfect."

Keira entered just in time to hear the praise for Caitlin, and a proud, satisfied smile spread across her face. Her granddaughter had not disappointed her.

Seeing that the spotlight was still on Caitlin even after her grandmother's arrival, Ann grew impatient. Miss Palmer's flight would be landing soon. In the meantime, she needed to redirect the conversation back to herself.

Just then, Aurora, another friend, walked up to her. "Ann, congratulations! I heard that not only is Miss Palmer coming to give you the signet, but Daniel Richards is going to publicly confess his love for you today! When did he first fall for you?"

The question immediately captured everyone's attention. They were all dying to know the details of this supposed romance.

"It was love at first sight for Daniel," Ann replied, a blush coloring her cheeks.

Daniel was in love with Ann? Love at first sight? And he was going to confess at this party?
