Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 326

Rosita gazed at her with wide, innocent eyes.

She had waited fourteen years for this moment.

At last, she could see Lauren finally getting what she deserved.

She always liked clinging to men? Well, now she could see what that got her.

Rosita studied Lauren's hollowed cheeks, secretly feeling a surge of satisfaction.

On the outside, though, she forced her eyes to redden, putting on a show of wounded concern. "I swear, I never meant to abandon you. I thought Mr. Prescott would take good care of you..."

"Gavin? He stopped caring a long time ago!" Lauren let out a bitter laugh, her jaw clenched as she recalled the moment Gavin found out about her pancreatic cancer-he'd tossed her a check for fifty thousand and walked away without a second thought.

She remembered, too, how she'd been the one to test positive for HIV, and still, every time she slept with Gavin, she insisted on protection, worried for his health.

Looking back now, the irony stung. Gavin had never been worth her loyalty.
