After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities

Chapter 779

"Only eight thousand dollars, and you think the Ritter family would care? Even if it was eight hundred thousand, the Ritter family wouldn't bat an eye. And yet here you are, trying to humiliate me with this measly sum!" Mrs. Ritter finally realized that she had fallen right into Franklin's trap with every step she took.

She was so angry that her whole body trembled and she almost lost her composure. If there weren't so many people around, she would have cursed Franklin out loud without any hesitation.

But she held back. She took a deep breath and spoke slowly with a stiff expression on her face: "Mr. Maskelyne, the compensation of eight thousand dollars will be transferred immediately to your account. You can rest assured... Since our Ritter Group has lost, I will abide by the terms of our bet."

She spoke slowly as if struggling for each word while trying not to pass out from anger at any moment under all those eyes watching her every move.

Even though in her heart she wanted nothing more than to tear Franklin apart along with MI6 itself!

But still, Mrs. Ritter held back because the Ritter Family had its own pride and dignity; even if it meant losing face in public.

After all, wasn't it just compensation? An apology?

Without waiting for Franklin's response, Mrs. Ritter turned towards Ashlyn and said firmly, "Let's go!"

Ashlyn followed behind Mrs. Ritter in humiliation as they walked away from the basketball court while Club Ritter members trailed behind them looking dejected; no longer full of confidence before their match began.

Watching them leave, Sylvia approached Franklin and looked towards Cody saying, "Cody, let's head back too."

Cody patted his shoulder, "When did you guys form a golden triangle? I didn't know about this."

"That was years ago." Franklin chuckled lowly. "Jasper Brayden, and I especially love playing basketball together, often sparring against Soren but he insisted on becoming professional. We three don't have time to play regularly together, so I formed Club Sylvia to give Soren a platform. When we a get bored, we can always find someone worthy enough to spar against."

Cody nodded understandingly, "I see now."

The group left the basketball court, heading towards Balfax Mansion for dinner after such an exhausting day.

Upon hearing her words, Vaughn dragged his injured arm and said, "Sure, sure!" He had been eating light and nutritious recovery meals since yesterday when he got injured. The food was so bland that it almost tasted like nothing.

Just as Isla was about to speak, she heard Franklin's voice on the phone saying, "Soren, bring our men to Balfax Mansion for dinner."

Her face stiffened... she suddenly felt uneasy.

Was Soren going to be there too? She had an inexplicable urge to escape but if she didn't go it would seem strange.

They worked and lived together every day; it would be weird not to eat together.

So she could only grit her teeth and follow everyone else to Balfax Mansion.
