Ignore Hubby and Son's Regret Shining Now novel Chapter 88

Chapter 88 The Past

Later on, once Rhea came into the picture, Orion started getting more and more irritated with Demi He thought she was just being uptight and harsh.

Even Nevin began to see her differently. In his eyes, she wasn’t the composed wife anymore. She was joue some jealous woman who couldn’t stand Rhea getting all the attention.

Demi shook her head hard and shoved the memories away.

She had already treated those years like a brutal wake-up call.

She turned her focus back to the stack of files in her hands.

By the time her head felt like it had been wrung dry, it was time to clock out.

She packed up her things and stepped out of her office.

She never saw it coming.

“Demi, heading out already?”

She froze. Her brows pulled together. Her face dropped cold as she locked eyes with the voice coming from across the lot.

Rhea let out a dry laugh. “What, ignoring me now? Is it cause you think someone like me isn’t good enough to stand next to the mighty CEO of Snow Grou

She wiped her face like she was about to cry, but her eye gave her away. They were sharp, bitter, and full of jealousy.

Rhea came closer, and the air instantly turned foul. Her perfume hit like a punch in the face. It was to thick and heavy, Demi could barely breathe.

She stood her ground, but her frown deepened. Her gaze turned razor-sharp.

“You’re the one who used to tell me background didn’t matter, Rhea said. “You said no one’s born better than anyone else.”

Tears streaked down her face, but her expression stayed spiteful. Her voice shook as she said, “So why do you look at me like I’m dirt? You’re not above me.”

Demi’s tone turned ice-cold. “It’s not your background despise. It’s you”

Her eyes narrowed. “You made your own bed. Rhea

It wasn’t like no decent guys had shown interest in Rhea They had. But her standards were sky-high. She couldn’t even tolerate guys who lived the same rough life she did

She passed on normal relationships and went after a married man. A man with a family. A man with a h

Demi had nothing left to say. She wasn’t going to waste her breath

She turned to walk off Rhea stepped in front of her and blocked the paths

They stood close. Demi opened her mouth to tell her love, but then her visos teised. Thus haver

perfume burned through her nose and made her gag.

She turned her head, dry-heaving.

Something didn’t sit right. Demi had taught Rhea how properly wear perfume.

Just a little behind the ears and wrists. Never bathe in it She’d never do something like that.

And she’d even made a custom floral scent for Rhea once.

Demi kept gagging, but nothing came up. Rhea’s face turned ghost-white, then flushed red.

It was real. Demi was actually pregnant.

No, this cannot happen!

That thought hit Rhea like a brick wall. Everything she ever wanted snapped in half.

She let out a loud, broken laugh.

“You really went for it, huh?” Rhea said. “You knew Nevi was ready to dump you, so you got yourself knocked up. That way, he’d be stuck with you.”

She could barely keep her voice steady. Her jealousy boed right under the surface.

Demi’s frown deepened.

Rhea sneered. “You were the one preaching about how women should be independent. Look at you. Nevin can’t stand you. Orion hates you. And you’ve got the nerve to get pregnant behind everyone’s back?”

Demi stared at her. “Behind everyone’s back?”

She gave a cold laugh. “Nevin’s still my husband. Why would I need to hide it?”

She added flatly. “This baby has nothing to do with him This baby is mine.” Demi stepped forward and shoved Rhea aside. “You don’t have to worry. The divorce is still happening, Pregnant or not. If you think you’ve got what it takes, take my place.”

Her face was pale, but she didn’t stop. She got in the car waiting at the curb and shut the door

The scent Rhea left behind was cheap, strong, and sickening. It clung to her skin,

As the car pulled away, Rhea stood frozen. Then she stomped hard on the pavement. She screamed after her, “Demi! You’ll beg for my favor one day! I’ll be the one laughing when you do?”

The sky had gone pitch black.

Halfway home, Demi leaned forward and told the driver to pull over.
