Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber) novel Chapter 37

Stella knew what was going on as soon as she walked back into the room and saw Makenna's bright smile; she didn't even need to look at Amber's cards to figure it out.

Amber seemed to have lost all of her rounds while she was away.

"Ms. Reed, she is your ex-husband's lover, do you really want to lose to her?" She said as she sat down next to Amber. Looking at Amber's bad cards, she muttered.

"It's fine, three wins in five rounds," Amber's grin and her demeanor have been unchanged since the beginning.

As she chatted with Stella, Amber drew another card, and Makenna then presented her cards, taking this round with a happy smile on her face.

Stella couldn't say anything while the lady sitting near Makenna spoke, "Amber, you've now lost two rounds in a row, so I think it's game over for you. All you have to do is apologize to Makenna, and we'll have the best tattoo artist here to erase the initials from your body," she triumphantly said.

"Shall we continue, Ms. Reed?" Makenna said softly, looking up at Amber as if she was waiting for her apologies.

"Certainly. Five rounds, three wins, right?" Amber stated firmly as she moved the cards in front of her aside.

"We offered you a chance to surrender, but you squandered it," the lady said, rolling her eyes at Amber. "You can't win, Makenna is a fantastic poker player."

"That's enough," Makenna said, mockingly looking at Amber. "I'll play along since Ms. Reed wants to continue."

Another round began, and in this room full of ladies, the sound of murmuring rumbled all over the place.

The lady next to Makenna, Chloe Mendez, who sat between Amber and Gigi, was peeling an orange for Gigi, "Gigi how long are you gonna stay in Olkmore this time? Will you be here for the New Year?"

"I'm going to depart after the New Year." As she drew a card, she remarked, "Nathan Lehman is already here seeking for a lawyer to handle our divorce."

"If I remember it right, they begged your grandpa for this marriage back then. So they've used you and now want a divorce?" Chloe was taken aback, and she became even more wary.

"That's because..." Gigi muttered halfway, "I'm not someone who can be treated the way they want; I want to see whether any law firm in Olkmore would take this case."

Amber listened intently as she sorted her cards. She didn't know much about the Lehman family since they kept a low profile; all she knew was that they were powerful in Olkmore, comparable to the Garland's position in South Riverside.

Gigi was arrogant because of her grandfather and his power; even when she married into the Lehman family, who had a similar level of power, Gigi still prevailed.
