Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 256

He'd met Mila under unusual circumstances. They'd both kept their distance, never prying into each other's personal lives or family backgrounds. That's why he had no idea Mila was married to Lysander, which made him perfectly at ease when it came to gossip.

Most seasoned journalists knew Lysander Montgomery was married, but the man had never thrown a wedding, and for seven years he'd kept his wife's identity a secret.

At first, the media had been curious-who was Mrs. Montgomery? But no matter how hard they dug, they couldn't find a single scrap of information about her. To make things even stranger, Lysander always showed up at social events with different women on his arm, making it painfully clear how indifferent he was to his wife. Eventually, the press lost interest. The legend of Mrs. Montgomery faded, and nobody paid her any mind.

But now, with Lysander flaunting Giselle so openly, it was obvious he was serious about her!

The guy Mila was speaking with found it all pretty fascinating. "You know, I have to say, the real Mrs. Montgomery must have the patience of a saint. Her husband's mistress is strutting around in the spotlight, and she doesn't even show her face. Wouldn't it be something if she came to me with the inside scoop?"

He'd always been insanely curious about the Montgomery family's mysterious wife, hidden away for seven years.

If Mrs. Montgomery ever decided to step into the light, it would be a media circus -he could already picture how ugly things would get between the Montgomerys and the Harveys.

Too bad, though. Even he couldn't dig up anything on her.
