When Josie came knocking, Mallory had locked herself in her room, sitting on the floor watching a movie. The projector's light illuminated her face, giving her lips a pale appearance.
She let out a sigh and placed the food she brought on the ground. "The Mallory I know has never been this downcast. Come on, let's go for a walk."
She didn't move, just stared at the screen. After a while, she said, "Zendaya has gone abroad. There was a prenuptial agreement, so she won't receive any property. She will leave with nothing, even though the Simmons family's business has been largely taken over by Calvin."
Considering Calvin's lack of ruthlessness, it was a form of mercy that Zendaya's life was spared.
Josie kept up with the news. "Isn't this a good thing?"
Mallory shook her head. "I still can't get over it. He actually used his own marriage as a bargaining chip, willingly betting his entire life to torment Zendaya. And what about me? I'm just a pawn he willingly brought into his grand scheme, perfectly positioned to hinder Zendaya."
When Mallory thought about Calvin's ruthless and meticulous plan, she felt heartbroken, realizing that she was merely a pawn.
Josie didn't know how to comfort her. In the end, she pulled her up and said with a bitter smile, "Dexter is getting married soon. How about you keep me company and we go for a drink?"
Mallory finally raised her eyes.
Josie had organized a gathering at the bar, filled with young men. As soon as they walked in, a crowd was dancing amidst the vibrant lights. However, what she hadn't expected was to find Calvin among them.
He was sitting on the sofa, fiddling with a lighter. Upon seeing Josie, he even greeted her, "We meet again."
Josie tugged at the corner of her mouth.
Mallory turned around and left.
Calvin stepped forward, and just then, a woman wearing rabbit ears approached him, her snow-white chest looking rather seductive.
"Mr. Barrett!"
Mallory's first instinct was to retreat, but her hand was tightly grasped. Her hand was sweaty as she was shocked to see him.
Calvin lowered his voice and said, "Don't embarrass me."
