Chapter 257

“I had to slap Elaine because she had it coming! You think you can just waltz in and play homewrecker with my husband for three years and not expect to catch these hands? I’ve been civil, not leaving you crippled!”

With that, Whitney nonchalantly flicked a marriage certificate onto the table. It instantly caught everyone’s attention.

She flipped it open to reveal a clear photo of her and Ludwik. “Till this day, I’m still the one and only Mrs. Ludwik, folks. And there’s Elaine, strutting around like she’s the fiancée, flaunting her affair with my man. I’d really like to know where she gets off!

Three years ago, when you two had your fancy engagement bash, I was still legally married to Mr. Lippert. You think just because you’re Mr. Big Shot, you can dodge bigamy charges?

Elaine had been bragging in the restroom earlier, saying how she had egged Mr. Lippert on to snatch my Skye Gem Ltd. from me. And what do you know, they’re planning to tie the knot in a month.

As a scorned wife, I was boiling over. That’s why I lashed out.”

Whitney finished her tirade with a smug smile.

Elaine’s face drained of color as she stared at the marriage certificate, a chill creeping into her

gaze.

She turned to Ludwik in desperation.

His eyes were dark and stormy as he glared at Whitney. “How did you get your hands on that?”

He had been keeping the marriage certificate safe for three years!

Whitney raised an eyebrow. “I should thank you for reminding me this morning that we never officially filed the paperwork.”

Back then, she could not let go of the jerk. Thus, right when they had signed the divorce papers. she sneaked into their bedroom and nicked it.

It had been hidden in her new apartment for three years, and just this afternoon, she dug it out. She knew it would come in handy someday.

Elaine wanted to make a move on her company tonight, secure her place as Mrs. Lippert, and have Ludwik announce their wedding plans.

And she had the nerve to throw shade Whitney’s way.

How could Whitney not unveil a grand surprise?

“You’ve been avoiding me for three years, and we’ve been separated long enough. Legally, I could’ve filed for divorce a long time ago!” Ludwik gritted his teeth.
