My Coldhearted Ex demands a Remarriage by Eva Blackwood

Chapter 656:

The sharp sound reverberated through the room as Marina’s hand connected with Aliza’s cheek.

Aliza stumbled slightly, her hand flying to her face as she stared at Marina, wide-eyed and disbelieving. “Marina, what did I do?” she asked, her voice trembling with an edge of wounded innocence.

But Marina was seething, her fury unchecked. “You’re as cunning as your mother! I looked into it and found out Carrie’s ex-husband is Kristopher. You’ve been getting cozy with him recently—don’t tell me you’re trying to use me to get rid of Carrie!”

Aliza blinked, then composed herself, her expression morphing into one of hurt. “Marina, how could you think that of me? Did Carrie put these ideas in your head?”

Her voice softened, as if appealing to their years of friendship. “We’ve known each other since we were kids. The Herrera family may not have the Webster family’s influence, but we’ve always had better manners than these small-town nobodies. How could you doubt me like this?”

Aliza’s expression turned earnest. “It’s true I’m getting close to Kristopher. But Carrie is his ex-wife, not his current one. They were already divorced before we met. If Kristopher truly loved her, why would they have gotten divorced in the first place?”
