After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities

Chapter 864

Alondra's announcement of taking Jenna as her goddaughter was accompanied by a lavish banquet, which made Ashlyn feel like she was going to vomit. Her fair face turned stormy, and her eyes shot out cold glares. Mrs. Ritter's expression was equally dark and bruised-looking.

The mother-daughter duo looked like a pair of clowns, especially when Alondra's mocking gaze occasionally fell on them. It felt like being clawed at the heart by countless cats.

Adriel maintained a smile on his face while explaining his decision to choose Jenna as his goddaughter solely based on her personality and connection with him, disregarding family background or education level. This statement landed as yet another painful blow to the Ritter family.

Ashlyn was furious - what made Jenna more suitable than her? Adriel's words were infuriatingly unfair.

Mrs. Ritter clenched her fork so tightly that it almost broke under the pressure of her white-knuckled grip. Alondra smiled wickedly and suggested that if they really wanted to find a godfather for Ashlyn, they could try approaching the Bennett family instead since Salvatore didn't have any daughters either.

But even if Salvatore did agree to take Ashlyn as his goddaughter, it wouldn't change their current reputation in society - ever since Ashlyn failed to win first place at the Graley Piano Competition and rumors began circulating about her personal life scandals, people had started avoiding them altogether.

The financial troubles haunting the Ritter Group further exacerbated the situation. To make matters worse, Abdullah had recently sparked a conflict with the Mcguire family over a matter, leading to the loss of Abdullah's job and his child with his mistress.

It seemed like every day brought new humiliations for the Ritter family - even during recent meetings with other families, they were constantly being pressured into submission until their faces hit rock bottom, while others stomped all over them mercilessly.

Although Abdullah was just a distant relative, he was still part of the Mcguire family. The Ritter family's shameless behavior had angered everyone in the Mcguire family. Alondra felt sick to her stomach every time she saw Mrs. Ritter now.

It wasn't just Alondra, Katie felt the same way too. She sat on Alondra's other side and used to be toxic friends with Ashlyn for a while. But now, they were more like enemies.

That mistress had no shame, but she was carrying the blood of the Mcguire family nonetheless. Not only did she get beaten up by the Ritter family, but Abdullah also lost his job.

Katie worked in showbiz and having an uncle like this could come in handy sometimes. Now that her uncle stepped down from his position... well, didn't that mean she lost another backer?

She glared at Ashlyn who happened to be looking at her at that moment when a waiter brought over a plate of mango coconut cake - it looked deliciously sweet and appetizing.
