Jensen intoned, elongating the word, “Gilda!” But the next second, he looked at Richard. “Mr. Lynch, can I have a word with Gilda privately?”
Richard didn’t say anything. Instead, he looked at Gilda, signaling to her that it was up to her. Gilda looked indifferent and showed no emotions. She just smiled mildly at Jensen, “Okay.”
Richard’s eyes darkened. Before leaving, Richard warned. “Mr. Harrington, you two are divorced. Get over it. There’s no need to be so indecisive.”
Jensen didn’t plan to retort. He just nodded slightly and watched Richard leave.
Gilda looked calm and said casually, “What do you want to say?”
Jensen couldn’t help recalling that three years ago, on the day they got married, Gilda stood next to him, blushing. The photographer took their first photo together.
Memories of the past filled Jensen’s mind for a short while. He came to his senses and stared at Gilda’s face.
Jensen asked, “Three years ago, why did you hide your identity and marry me?”
Gilda didn’t expect this question from Jensen. After all, they were divorced. The answer was already meaningless for her.
Gilda asked, “Mr. Harrington, why do you want to know the answer?”
Jensen stared at Gilda and his expression was mysterious.
Jensen said, “Answer me. That’s all I want.”
Gilda looked down and Jensen’s words evoked memories of her past.
Gilda said, “My family didn’t approve of you but I insisted on marrying you.”
That was the reason why Gilda hid her identity and wealth and betrayed her family and friends to be with him without hesitation.
But it didn’t work out so well.
Gilda added, “Fortunately, now I have woken up and I realize that unrequited love can be another person’s pain. I was blindly in love with the wrong person. Now I’ve figured it all out, it’s time to get over it.”
Gilda laughed with self–mockery, “Mr. Harrington, we’re done. I should leave now.”
Gilda walked away in her 3–inch high heels, leaving her back to Jensen.

After a while, the party was over. However, the topic of family background of Gilda went viral online. The granddaughter of the richest person in the world was so enviable. Besides, everyone knew that she was also Tabby, the philanthropist.
Comments online were like: [Oh, my goodness! Gilda turns out to be so rich!).
[It’s like a romantic fiction where the daughter of a rich man hid her identity and married someone inferior to her. After they divorced, she became the wealthiest woman in the world. No! It is even out of every novelist’s imagination.]
[The Harrington family must be super regretful now. Gilda is not only beautiful but also nice. What’s more, she’s rich. She is like a heroine in a dreamy movie!]
Discussion continued.
Kylan, who was far away in Allath, jumped up from the sofa when he saw the news. He stared at the headline in disbelief and thought that he must be having a hallucination so he hurriedly pinched his thigh hard to make sure it was real.
Kylan felt a sharp pain in his thigh!
Kylan realized that it was real.
He casually forwarded the news to his group chat with his friends.
Kylan: [I’m shocked. Gilda is a Lynch, the granddaughter of the richest man in the world!]
Thinking about how he treated Gilda, he thought his sarcasm and contempt toward her were ridiculous.
He even once thought Gilda was just lucky to be friends with rich people. He never expected that she would be born rich.
Kylan: [What should I do? I feel humiliated.]
Kylan: [The Lynch family! The richest people in the world! They are extremely influential all over the world. I wonder whether it is too late to apologize to Gilda now.]
They continued their discussion.
Kylan sent several messages but received no reply in the group chat.
Kylan thought it was not surprising. After all, no one was expecting such a dramatic plot twist.
The news about Gilda’s background had gone viral on the Internet for a whole week before people started
to lose interest in it.
Gilda stayed at home for a few days before deciding to fly back to Allath. Patrick drove her to the airport.
While boarding the plane, Patrick handed Gilda a file.

Gilda asked, “What’s this?”
