How My Ex Became My Next by Kirk Stanley ( Gilda Lynch ) novel Chapter 333

Chapter 333 

Gilda gave Cheryl a sharp look, making her inadvertently shrink back. Out of nowhere, Cheryl felt guilty. 

Gilda hit Cheryl where it hurt. 

Gilda knew exactly what Cheryl held dear. With a gentle voice, Gilda suggested, “It’s time for Baxter Appliances Company to stir things up a bit. They’d be better off skipping this business summit.” 

Cheryl panicked instantly. 

“That’s impossible!” Cheryl blurted out. To her, Baxter Appliances Company was the Baxter family’s last beacon of hope. Missing the summit would be disastrous. 

“I’d do anything else, Gilda. Just not this,” Cheryl begged. 

Gilda responded blankly, “Pulling out now might save us some embarrassment. Stick around reluctantly, and being ousted later could ruin Baxter Appliances.” 

Cheryl felt her legs weaken as fear took over. She didn’t expect Gilda to have something deep and dark inside like that. 

Despite her deep regret, Cheryl attempted a compromise. “Gilda, my family’s future hangs on Baxter Appliances. Please, don’t ruin it. 

“I can apologize.. 

I’ll say I’m sorry.” 

Yet no matter Cheryl’s pleas, Gilda ignored her completely, without a hint of sympathy, and walked away. 

Cheryl felt drained, collapsing helplessly to the floor. A gust of wind chilled her sweaty back. 

Cheryl couldn’t help thinking, ‘You went too far, Gilda! 

The surrounding murmurs grew louder. “Ms. Lynch really has it all–born rich and immensely talented,” one observer noted. 

Another pointed out, “In just half a year at Glory Corporation, she’s increased profits by over ten percent.” 

“For a giant corporation, a ten percent increase is remarkable,” added another voice. 

And another said enviously, “I wish I had Ms. Lynch’s business smarts.” 

Cheryl felt irritated as she watched Gilda bask in the admiration, jealousy brewing within her. 

Cheryl scoffed,” Gilda’s only here because of her family’s influence. She lacks real talent. She’s probably just a pretty face.” 

A bystander retorted, “Ms. Baxter, get real. You should worry about yourself.” 

“Sounds like you’re just jealous. Ms. Lynch isn’t just a pretty face; she has the skills too,” another speculated.

“You two seemed close just a moment ago. I didn’t expect such hypocrisy. That’s really uncool,” someone else remarked, 

Stung, Cheryl shot back, “You all are just sucking up to her! If you’re going to flatter someone, at least be subtle.”
