THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 588

Celia nodded. "Did you and Joie go out today?"

"We did."

"Did you have fun?"

"It was wonderful," Jennifer replied. "Miss Palmer, the guide you hired was fantastic."

"I'm glad to hear it." Celia linked her arm through Caitlin's. "Freya and I are heading back to the room. On your way down, could you ask the concierge to send up some tea and pastries?"

"Of course, Miss Palmer." Jennifer nodded, stepping into the elevator and pressing the button to close the doors.

As she watched Celia and Caitlin walk away, Jennifer let out a quiet sigh of relief.

That was close.

She hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary.

"I don't know," Caitlin said thoughtfully. "It felt like she was hiding something."

As if she had a guilty conscience.

"Hiding something?" Celia brushed it off, tugging on Caitlin's arm. "Freya, you must be mistaken. Come on, let's go chat! I want to hear more about the White Wind monsters!"

The White Wind was a creature said to appear in blizzards. Caitlin had mentioned it once, and Celia, fascinated by the legend, was eager to learn more.

After leaving the elevator, Jennifer hailed a cab and rushed to her meeting point with Griffin.

Griffin was already there.

Seeing Jennifer approach, Griffin stood up excitedly. "Miss Jennifer, did you get the prescription?"
