Jilted Ex-wife Billionaire Heiress

Chapter 87 Exposed

Darya waved her phone and flashed an impish smile at Douglas. "The wonders of modern technology.'

She made a mental note to thank Glen later.

Despite his tendencies to lecture, the man was one of the best assistants she ever worked with.

He respected her decision to handle the situation by herself, yet offered his help in subtler ways, including finding out and telling her what Douglas had been up to.

Douglas showed up at the bar so fast after Darya called him because he happened to be in the same neighbourhood, celebrating his daughter's birthday at a restaurant two blocks away from the Twilight.

'You bitch!'

Darya grabbed Timothy and eased back out of harm's way, just as a young woman pushed through the crowd, yelling as she smacked Sharon hard across the face.

'Edna!' Douglas stood rooted to the spot, mouth wide open.

'Don't!' the girl spun around.

Tears streamed down her cheeks and smudged her makeup.

'It's-it's n-not what you think!' Douglas stammered.

'Are you having an affair with this woman?' the girl called Edna asked. 'Don't lie to me! I heard everything!'

Douglas tried to grab her hand. 'Edna, let's just get out of here. I'll explain when we-'

'Tell me!' Edna shook off his hand. 'Yes or no. It's a simple question.'

Douglas's silence served as confirmation.

Edna took a deep breath. 'I hate you! How can you do this to me? To Mom?'

She started moving towards the exit. 'I'm telling Mom.'

'Wait, Edna! Please don't tell your mother!' Douglas chased after his daughter. 'I'm not having an affair, I swear!"

'Doug!' Sharon clung to his waist. 'Help me! I think I twisted my ankle."

'Oh for Christ's sake, leave me alone!' Douglas struggled to break free. 'I'm in enough trouble as it is!"

Sharon pretended like she didn't hear him.

This was her one chance to break up Douglas's marriage and make him marry her.

She'd be a fool not to seize it.

Edna turned around and flew into another rage when she saw the woman with her arms locked around

Douglas's waist. "You slut!

Hands shaking, she snapped pictures of the scene with her camera phone. I'm telling Mom!

'No, don't!' In vain, Douglas fought to free himself from Sharon clasp

He married Rosalind for her money.

There was no doubt, from the very beginning about who wore the pants their house

If Rosalind found out about the affair, especially with evidence supplied by fina, he'd be taken to the cleaners.

'Edna, honey, will you please listen to me? Douglas pleaded with his daughter

'It's my birthday! Edna shrieked. 'How can you do this to me?

'Doug.' Sharon whimpered with her eyes closed. 'My head hurts."

Timothy whispered in Darya's ear, 'Did you set this up?'

'All I did was make a couple of calls, Darya shrugged. 'I didn't force the man to have an affair.

Apparently, Edna shared Darya's view.

She snatched her hand away from Douglas and wiped her tears. 'I don't want to see your face at our house. Mom won't want to see you.'

'You are kicking me out?' Douglas stared at his daughter in disbelief. 'But it's my house!"

'It's Mom's house!' Edna shouted. 'She paid for it!'

She shot a venomous look in Sharon's direction. 'If you like this woman so much, why don't you go live with

her?'

For maximum impact, Darya chose this moment to drop the second bombshell. 'Director Kay, if I recall correctly, there is a morals clause in your contract with Paragon. I'm afraid I'll have to report what happened here tonight to the board. They'll have to hold a meeting to decide if you are in breach of the clause and, if yes, whether to dismiss you from the company.'

Timothy gave her a high-five when he thought no one was watching. 'Nicely done, Dolly."

Douglas glanced back and forth between his daughter and Darya, torn by indecision.

In the end, he decided to try to save his job first. 'Miss Miller, it's not what you think!'

Darya waved her phone. 'My opinion doesn't matter. The truth does. The board will review a recording of tonight's events and draw their own conclusions.'

Douglas placed both hands over his head, frustrated. 'You don't have to do that! It's not like I was...'

His gaze landed on Sharon.

He shoved her away. 'It's her! She came on to me! Like what she tried to do to that other guy tonight! She's the one who should be fired!'

Darya said nothing.

Douglas was more naïve than she thought.

He believed if he could blame everything on Sharon, then he would be off the

hook.

But he seemed to have forgotten the saying, it takes two to tangle.

Besides, what made him believe that the board was only going to fire one person?

Sharon sniffled. 'Doug, you know I love you. Don't worry, I'll talk to the board, make sure they know you are

not to blame.'

She held his hand and stared up into his eyes. 'If they have to fire me, then so be

it. It's worth it if it means I

get to protect you.'

In fact, it couldn't have worked out better.

If she was dismissed from Paragon, she no longer had to put in the long hours.

And Douglas would be in her debt.

He would have to marry her.noveldrama

Then she would finally lead the lifestyle she'd been aiming for-idle and rich.

Douglas, on the other hand, didn't seem to share Sharon's cheerfulness.

He pushed her away. 'Don't touch me!'

Edna hung up her phone. 'I just called Mom. She's on her way.'

'No!' Douglas threw up both hands, desperate. 'Please don't do this! I'm your father, Edna. Why are you so eager to see me and your mother divorced?'

'Because you are a liar and a cheat, and you never cared about us anyway.' Edna folded her arms. 'Mom deserves someone better. I've been telling her that for years.'

She looked at Sharon and raised her chin. 'I know what you are planning. You think my dad's going to divorce my mom and then marry you? You think you'll get

to be the wife of a rich man? Dream on! My dad doesn't have any money. He's a leech, living on my mother's largesse. Without her, he wouldn't even have the job

at

Paragon.'

She flashed a smug smile. 'If the two of you get married, you'll be sponging off

each other. Have fun.'
