Ex-husband's Sweet Trap novel Chapter 7

As soon as he left, the smile on Emily's face became colder. She studied Luz coldly.

If she remembered correctly, this woman was also in the restaurant that day with a little boy.

She knew instinctively that this woman had some history with Henry.

Emily smiled. "I don't care what relationship you had with Henry in the past, but he's now mine. Watch yourself when you're working with him."

"She's certainly different from what she shows to the public," Luz thought to herself. "Jealousy is an ugly look on her."

It was terrifying and ugly.

"I would never touch your man, Ms. Hurst." She took two steps back and smiled. "I know you have powerful backers."

...

Emily snorted arrogantly and glanced at Luz with disdain.

"Emily." Henry's indifferent voice sounded in front of them.

Emily closed her mouth tightly and glared at Luz.

Then she turned around, changing her expression, and followed Henry hurriedly. She took his arm. "Henry, was Secretary Boone really a surgeon before? What if she's not suitable for the job?"

"Then she's fired." His words were cold.

Luz took a deep breath and forced herself to smile.

"Yeah, I thought so too. MR won't hire useless people even if it's going bankrupt." Emily laughed as she gloated. "You shouldn't take advantage of her beauty, you know."

...

Henry wrapped his arm around her slender waist and said in a doting tone, "Is she as beautiful as you? Huh?"

"Come on!"

Luz sighed as she watched them leave.

If she had known that it was Henry who took over the company, she would never have agreed to let her boss take this investment.

The mobile phone on the table suddenly rang, which startled Luz. When she saw a familiar short number, her eyes strained.

Before she went abroad, she kept this number and added enough credit to last for several years. This was the first time since then she had used this number, and the first person to call her was, unexpectedly, Madam Maynard.

When she answered the phone, her voice choked for a moment. "Grandma..."

"Hello, is it little Luz?"

After really hearing Luz's voice, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief. "You little girl, you made me so worried! I was so worried about you all these years."

The old lady's words made her very sad. "Grandma, I'm sorry."

"Silly girl, there's no need to apologize to me!" The old lady blamed her a little. "Luz, since you're back, come and have dinner tonight. I missed you."

After a moment of hesitation, Luz finally agreed.

Madam Maynard had been very kind to her when she was still the daughter-in-law of the Maynard family. She had treated her just like her own grandmother. She hadn't seen her for seven years, so she wanted to see if she was doing well.
