THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 585

Everyone wants to climb the ladder, to move up in the world.

And as a human being, Celia had to look out for herself.

If she worked with Smith, she would not only receive a fortune, but her name would also be immortalized in the medical field.

Fame and fortune.

How could she refuse?

She wasn't short on money as Celia's bodyguard, and she held the title of Valerium's top female protector.

But what did that title really mean?

At the end of the day, a bodyguard was still just a bodyguard.

Celia might say she treated her like a sister, but someone of her station could never truly be Celia's sister.

Forget sister.

She probably didn't even count as a real friend.

The whole situation with Caitlin proved it.

If Celia truly valued her, she wouldn't be treating Caitlin better.

She had been with Celia for over twenty years.

How long had Caitlin been in the picture?

Yet now, she wasn't worth a fraction of what Caitlin was to Celia.

It was evident in how Celia addressed them.

She called Caitlin ‘Freya.'

What did she call her?

Always just her full name.

The more Jennifer thought about it, the colder her heart grew. She couldn't fathom how twenty years of companionship could be worth less than a friendship that was only days old.

Since Celia clearly had no intention of sharing her privileged life, Jennifer had to forge her own path.

After all, everyone has to look out for number one.

Hearing her answer, Griffin was overjoyed.

Griffin shot up from his chair and extended a hand. "Miss Jennifer, it's a pleasure doing business with you."

Griffin's research indicated that Jennifer had grown up with Celia, so Griffin had expected it would take some time to win her over.

Je hadn't anticipated it would be this easy.

It seemed Jennifer's loyalty wasn't as deep as Griffin had imagined.

"A pleasure," Jennifer replied, shaking Griffin's hand.

"I'll get the prescription as soon as I can."

Griffin beamed. "Excellent, Miss Jennifer. Let's stay in touch."

Jennifer nodded.

Meanwhile, Celia had finished her makeover.

She had chosen a stunning vintage princess gown in a soft pink, complete with a matching hair ornament. She looked beautiful, exuding a unique and captivating charm.

Staring at her reflection, Celia covered her mouth in disbelief. "Is that really me?"
