THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 1147

Although Kimberly's family had once lived next to Xander's, the two families barely ever spoke. In fact, their disputes often escalated to the point of calling the police. Xander's parents were the absolute worst.

Elsa's eyes flashed with anger as she looked at Kimberly. "Did Gertrude and Caitlin send you here to tell me this?"

She couldn't believe it. She was already married to Xander, and still, Caitlin and Gertrude were trying every trick in the book to break them up. Was their own home life really so miserable they couldn't stand to see anyone else happy? It was disgusting. She had been living with the Forresters for a while now; did she not know what kind of people they were?

"No, what does this have to do with them?" Kimberly replied. "This is all me. My family used to be neighbors with the Forresters. I know what Xander and his parents are like better than you do."

There was another thing Kimberly found extremely odd. Xander and his parents were notoriously picky and looked down on everyone. Xander's mother, in particular, always boasted that her son would marry a wealthy heiress. So why on earth would someone like that allow Elsa into the family? It wasn't that Elsa wasn't good enough, but she was a far cry from a high-society heiress.

Elsa let out a small laugh. "Don't deny it. I know they're behind this."

Kimberly was baffled. She reached out and touched Elsa's forehead. "Elsa, are you running a fever? The last time I saw Gertrude was a month ago! And all she did was ask me a few questions about the Forresters. This has nothing to do with them."

Elsa scoffed. "Kimberly, and you still claim Caitlin and Gertrude didn't send you? You're just trying to say that Xander married me because I used to be friends with Caitlin, right? That he needs a shortcut to get to her! Let me tell you, Xander is not that kind of person! He married me because he loves me."

"Oh, so that's what it is," Kimberly said, suddenly understanding. "No wonder Xander married you. Elsa, please, just listen to me. Be careful. Otherwise, you'll regret this later when it's too late!"

"Why would I regret it?" Elsa stared at Kimberly. "Listen, marrying Xander is the best thing that's ever happened to me. I will never, ever regret it!"
