Chapter 730

Glynnis clapped a hand over her mouth; it felt like her entire worldview was shattered into smithereens!

Sure, she was known to play the field herself, but at least she maintained a veneer of decency.

Edith, on the other hand, had tossed all semblance of propriety out the window. Not only did she flaunt her tryst right in front of Glynnis, but she also managed to do it with a hint of bragging in her lust–filled expressions!

And how come this trainwreck of a woman had the audacity to dream of marrying Thaddeus and becoming the lady of the Abernathy empire!

She wasn’t even qualified to dream about him!

Alston, on the other hand, was the scion of a well–connected family. He had some restraint, at least. With an audience, he couldn’t bring himself to act on his desires.

“Edith, I can’t do this.”

“Pfft! You’re useless!”

With a look of disdain, Edith pushed him fling into the pool; her glistening form emerged from the water as she snatched a towel from the lounge chair and barely covered the essentials.

Alston plunged back under the surface, to appease his capricious girlfriend desperately, but with Glynnis there, he dared not emerge.

“What are you on about, Glynnis? Everyone in the Elmsworth elite knows you’re the wildest one of all. Don’t play the innocent with me,” Edith drawled while lighting up a cigarette and taking a deep drag.

Glynnis ground her jaw with anger, but she couldn’t help admiring Edith’s nerve.

She remembered that back in their school days, Alston was always Edith’s ever–waiting backup. And now, nearly a decade later, he was still hung up on her.

Though the Fairhaven group was rolling in dough, their shady foundations made them pariahs in political circles.
