The CEO's Amazing Ex-Wife Is Back! by H. Dally

Chapter 57

“How long have you been working for Thalassa Thompson?

Millie froze, her heart pounding in her chest. This was the last thing she had expected Kris to ask her. She was so dumbstruck that she couldn’t speak for a full minute.

Kris leaned back in his swivel chair, forming a steeple with his hands. “You might not be talkative, Millicent, but I know you’re not this quiet. I expect you to say something.

His expression was neither cold nor warm. It was just cool, making Millie feel even more nervous because she couldn’t guess what was going through his head.

“Tha… Thalassa Thompson? Who…” she stammered.

Kris’s eyes darkened. “I hope you’re not going to deny it, Millicent. My mother and I talked in your presence about going to the charity function. My family didn’t tell anyone else, but Thalassa came to that function knowing we were going to be there. The only person who could’ve told her is you, so I want the truth. How long have you known her?”

Seeing how sure Kris looked, Millie realized she couldn’t lie her way out of this. Dragging in a deep breath to calm herself, she responded, “I met her three years ago.”

Kris’s expression sank a little. Though he had strong suspicions, he had also hoped he was wrong.

“How did you meet her?” he asked calmly.

“It was a few days after your divorce. I met her when she came to live with the Mathewses. I was a temporary housekeeper at the time,” Millie answered.

Kris’s eyes darkened further. “You mean when she came to live with Zeke Mathews?”

Millie frowned slightly. “No, she didn’t come to live with just Zeke.” She bit her lip. “Sir, things didn’t happen the way you think they did.”

Kris scoffed. “You don’t have to make excuses, Millicent. I already know the truth. Thalassa and that man were lovers even before our divorce, and she went to live with him because he offered her money and protection.

Millie’s eyes widened. “What? No! That’s not how things happened at all!”
