The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Alice had also begun to notice that someone had been discreetly helping her behind the scenes.
His first instinct was to call Monica.
When Monica answered, she sounded frustrated. “I hired trolls to trash Lilliana online,” she admitted. “But I don't have the money to censor searches. Those things cost a fortune, and my dad blocked my credit card. “I’m sick of him.”
Alicia thought about Monica's words, and only one other person came to mind: Gerry.
Without delay, he called him, and his suspicions were confirmed.
Feeling a little uncomfortable, Alice said quietly, “It's just gossip, people talking behind my back. It's not like they're physically harming me. You really didn’t need to waste your money on this…”
Gerry, comfortably lying down, put her on speakerphone but didn't answer right away. Instead, he looked at Caden, who was sitting across from him.
Caden, his long legs crossed casually, had his eyes glued to his phone, scrolling mindlessly. He gave no sign of joining the conversation.
Undeterred, Gerry turned his attention back to Alicia. “I didn't spend that much,” he finally replied. “The real help came from another big shot.”
Alice frowned, confused. “Who is this mysterious benefactor?”
Once again, Gerry's gaze shifted to Caden, but he didn't reveal the answer right away, instead choosing to mock her.
“Are you free?” he asked, smoothly moving on to another topic. “Come on. “We can chat, have some fun, and I’ll introduce you to this ‘big fish.’”
Alice took the hint immediately.
She had always had a good working relationship with Gerry, and now that she was in a bind, he was helping her out by offering her the chance to meet someone powerful. That was how things worked: mutual benefits, carefully cultivated relationships.
"What's that big fish like?" she asked. "I'd like to give him something."
Hearing this, Gerry's eyes sparkled with mischief. "He's… well, let's just say he's not as strong as he used to be. Maybe you could get him some Viagra."
Alice was momentarily speechless, and then replied with dry humor: 'Mr Hopkins, do you happen to have any shady side business?'
Gerry couldn't help but laugh. "If they ever come to an agreement, it will be a miracle."
