The Secret Pregnancy of the Billionaire's Ex-Wife

Chapter 44: We'll Make Sure You Get Justice

The busy tone echoed through my phone as I stood there, frozen.

"Mrs. Shaw, don't forget about us when you get rich!" another friend teased, laughing.

"And when you get married, I better be on the VIP guest list!"

I want first-class seats! Oh, and Christina, toss the bouquet to me! I might marry my boyfriend by the end of the year."

"Really? You're getting married? Congrats!"

The words kept coming, each one a stab of discomfort, but they didn't notice. I couldn't take it anymore.
