The Wealthy Divorcee

How My Friends Think of Her

This new lovers' restaurant opened right above Mark's restaurant. It was very popular, so Mark had to come and experience it himself and even dragged Rex with him.

The waiter stressed over and over again that this was a lovers' restaurant. Mark winked at Rex and lightly tugged on Rex's arm. "Don't we look like a couple?"

"Mark, Rex, what a coincidence.." A man and a woman walked over to them. Daryl Black looked like a typical gentry, and the woman holding Daryl's arm was a recently popular social media influencer with a small common-looking face and big eyes.

Mark snorted lightly. "Why are you here?"

"Liza said this place is nice, so we came to check it out. Isn't this a lovers' restaurant?" Daryl implied something and covered his mouth to hold back his laughter.

They were all childhood buddies, so there was no need to evade each other. Rex scowled and glared at Mark.

Daryl felt amused since it was rare to see Rex at a loss like this. He did not leave and invited himself to their table. His date sat opposite Rex.

When Liza saw Rex's chiseled face, she tried to suppress the excitement in her heart but dared not say anything with Daryl around.

"Hey, Rex. Isn't that the scheming b*tch?" Daryl lifted his chin slightly in one direction.

The music was pleasant and soothing. Chris dragged Jenna to the dance floor as he said, "It's just one dance. Since we're already here, don't you want to experience the feeling of being on this dance floor?"

Before Jenna could answer, the next song had already started, so it would only attract more attention if she refused. Whatever... It's just a dance

The music was upbeat. Chris and Jenna's steps only had a momentary pause in the beginning. Soon after, they matched each other's rhythm very well and gradually became the focus of the dance floor.

The couples around them stopped to look at the pair. The man was devilishly handsome and the woman was elegant and beautiful. The hem of her skirt swayed as she danced and the two of them stole all the attention.

Chris inadvertently saw a certain someone in the corner. When the song ended, he pulled Jenna into his arms, turned around with his back against the crowd, and lowered his head as he embraced the woman tightly. From the perspective of the
crowd behind them, they were kissing passionately.

Suddenly, the restaurant resounded with loud applause.

Before Jenna could react, Chris chuckled and pulled her out of the restaurant.

In the Corner.

Rex did not speak, but his face was a bit cold. Mark looked at the couple departing back and coldly snorted. "It's not that great."

Although their dance was comparable to professional dancers, Mark would never admit that Jenna danced well.

"Right? This scheming b*tch hooked up with another guy so soon?" Daryl sneered.

Rex swept a cold glance at Daryl when he heard that. "Scheming b*tch? Is that what you guys call her behind her back?"

"Yeah, what else? She did everything she could to marry you for money, didn't she? We know what she did to trap you, so we're all happy that you finally divorced her. You don't have to put up with that shrew anymore..."

Daryl did not notice Rex's increasingly glum face. He recalled some of their old memories and retold them as a joke.

"I remember that when you just got married and we went out drinking together, that woman called in the middle of the night to check on you when you were in the bathroom. I picked up the call and warned her back then to know her place. She's so ignorant. Can't she see that marrying you is already an honor for her?"

Suddenly, a cup landed heavily on the table. The lively chatter and laughter at the table instantly ceased.

Mark looked puzzled. 'Rex is clearly angry! Is it because of that woman?'

Daryl did not know what he had misspoken. Everyone knew that Rex was forced into his previous marriage.

The influencer was so frightened that she shuddered. She originally thought that she would be able to hook up with someone more powerful, but she did not even get to say a word at the table.

"Rex..." Daryl looked to Mark for help.

Mark was just about to speak when Rex sneered and said, "Daryl, why don't you just become the Head of the Hidalgo family if you like to meddle in my business so much?"
