I Divorced You Now You Beg (Thalia and Darion) novel Chapter 169

Chapter 169

Thalia covered her mouth in shock and whispered, “Oh my god, did you really stand there by the bed and watch

verything?

Verena was speechless.

Before she could respond. Thalia teased, “Or are you hoping to be the female lead yourself?”

Verena clenched her wine glass and gritted her teeth. “Mrs. Blackburn, have fun and enjoy yourself. I won’t be keeping you company.”

She turned and walked away to chat with someone else.

Thalia smirked, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.

Wendy had been holding back her laughter, and now she glanced at Thalia with concern. “Hey, Thalia, you alright?”

I’m good. She’s the one with issues. Didn’t you see her get totally owned?” Thalia grinned.

Still, Wendy felt a pang of sympathy for her.

Seriously, what’s that jerk thinking? Showing up at a party like this with Miya? Is he trying to announce their relationship to veryone? If that’s the case, why hasn’t he just divorced you?” Wendy grumbled.

t was so unfair that Thalia had to deal with all this ridicule. Everyone thought they could just kick her when she’s down.

f Wendy were strong enough, she’d totally rush over and rip that jerk’s smug face apart.

Thalia gave her arm a reassuring pat. “Come on, don’t let it get to you. Remember why we came here tonight.”

Wendy took a deep breath to steady herself. “So, why hasn’t the eldest son of the Flynn family shown up yet?”

Thalia looked around the room. “Not everyone’s here yet. The star of the show always makes a late entrance. Let’s go get omething to eat first.”

Okay, Wendy replied.

The banquet hall had a buffet area stocked with delicate pastries, just the thing to keep everyone from getting hungry during he long party.

As Thalia rounded the corner, she spotted Darion standing not far away, with Miya by his side. A small group of people was gathered around them, talking and laughing together.

They were clinking glasses, looking like they were really enjoying themselves.

Just my luck, Wendy muttered.

Wait, Thalia, didn’t you say you weren’t coming?” Shyla teased.

Just then, Shyla Mcgee called out as she walked over.

Thalia gave her a pointed look. “I’m a Coleman, and I’m here on behalf of the Coleman Group. Why wouldn’t I show up?”

Shyla frowned, her tone cold. “I’ve finished introducing Miya to everyone. There’s no reason for you to stick around”

Thaha gripped her wine glass tighter, her clear eyes locked on Shyla. “Oh, so you’re worried I’ll ruin her moment’ Remind me, who’s the adopted daughter here, her or me?”

Shyla stepped forward, her tone sharp. “Thalia, this isn’t the kind of place for you to act out.

The Coleman family happens to be negotiating a deal with the Flynn family, and just look at how well your sister Miya is connecting with them. If you barge in now and ruin things, what are we supposed to do?”

Thalia caught how fiercely Shyla was defending Miya and smirked. “Afraid I’ll wreck the deal? That’s easy to fix. Just go over and introduce me to them right now. Otherwise, I can’t promise I won’t do something unpredictable.”

Shyla hadn’t expected Thalia to threaten her, but seeing that mischievous look in Thalia’s eyes, she gritted her teeth and said, “You saw it yourself. Darion’s standing right there with Miya. If you go over now, are you just trying to make a scene and let everyone laugh at you?”

If we start airing our jealousy in public, what will people think of the Coleman family?”

Thalia’s pretty eyes narrowed. ‘So Darion’s working the crowd for Miya, huh?”
