Cold Husband Burning Regret: The Divorce He Couldn't Handle novel Chapter 588

By the time the gathering ended, it was already half-past eleven. After Lilith settled the bill at the front desk, she returned to the private room, only to overhear their conversation from outside the door.

"So, we're going for a second round. Should we ask Lilith to come?"

A female colleague said nonchalantly, "Of course we should. She already paid for everything. Isn't it better for us if we don't have to pay?"

Karin sounded embarrassed. "Isn't that a bit unfair? Didn't we say we'd split the bill?"

"We said we'd split it, but she's the one who ordered the expensive brandy and said it was on her. Why should we chip in?"

"But we can't just..."

"Karin, lighten up," the male colleague said, wrapping an arm around his neck. "She's a rich heiress. Do you think she's short on cash? If she doesn't mind, why should we?"

"Alright, alright, that's enough. What if she comes back and hears you?" one of the women said, and the other two dropped the subject.

Lilith stood outside the door for a long time, her fists clenched, wanting to storm in and curse them out. If it weren't for Karin, she wouldn't have even come!

She took a deep breath and walked into the room as if nothing had happened. The three of them acted just as nonchalantly, laughing and chatting with her.

After they left the lounge, the male colleague suddenly turned to Lilith. "We're heading to another party. Do you want to come with us?"

"Yeah, come with us! It'll be a lot of fun!" one of the women added, linking her arm with Lilith's affectionately.

Karin's clenched fists loosened slightly as he said, "It's getting late, and we have work tomorrow. Maybe we should..."

"We just got out to have some fun, how is it late? Lilith's been at the company for a while, but she hasn't really had a chance to let loose, has she?"

Their invitation was so enthusiastic that if Lilith hadn't overheard their earlier conversation, she might have actually been tempted.

She pulled her arm free. "You guys go ahead. I don't feel like it."

The three of them exchanged an awkward glance. The male colleague forced a smile. "What's wrong? Weren't we all having a great time?"

Lilith bit her lip, about to retort, when Karin saw someone and suddenly froze. "Professor Carstairs?"

The other three greeted him as well.

Lilith turned to look at Judd. He was dressed in a simple white shirt, the sleeves casually rolled up to his forearms. The streetlight cast a soft golden halo around him, making him look exceptionally sharp and clean-cut.

Huh? What was he doing here?
