The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 689

"A bet on what?"

Catherine asked, her tone entirely apathetic.

"On who Lance actually loves," Adelina sneered.

A scoff of pure disbelief escaped Catherine. The disdain curving her lips was so sharp it made Adelina's face flush hot with humiliation.

"Adelina, grow up. What's the point of betting on his feelings? The wedding never happened, and he refuses to even look at you now."

"You—"

"Coming after me is a waste of your time."

Catherine cut off her sputtering rage. "If you want Lance back, barking at me won't fix your problems. I was never the stumbling block in your relationship."

"You were!" Adelina blurted out, her voice trembling. "If it wasn't for you, why did he vanish on our wedding day? If he had just shown up, his mother wouldn't have canceled it!"

The sudden accusation hit Catherine out of nowhere, leaving her momentarily speechless.

To this day, she still didn't fully understand how or why Lance had shown up at the hospital exactly when she needed him.

"You destroyed everything! You're the other woman, Catherine. Without you, we'd be happily married right now!"

Adelina was consumed by resentment. The memory of standing at the altar, surrounded by hundreds of mocking, pitying eyes, felt like being slapped in the face over and over again.

Even now, the phantom sting of that public humiliation burned her cheeks.

"He won't see me! He ignores my calls! And it's all your fault!"

Catherine stared at her for a long moment before picking up her phone from the table. "I'll call him for you. The two of you can clear this up right now."

Adelina's expression faltered. She chewed her lower lip nervously, watching Catherine's every move.

The call connected and was answered on the very first ring.

The immediacy of it sent a jealous pang through Adelina. Whenever she called him, it would ring until the very last second before he'd finally pick up.

"Get down to The Grand Eldervale right now."

Catherine's tone was sharp and commanding.

She wanted absolutely nothing to do with this messy, lingering drama between Lance and Adelina.
