THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 1018

Nicolette and Yvette had only befriended Charis because of her status as Miss Gonzales.

Now that Charis was being bullied by someone like Caitlin, it was only natural for Nicolette to fetch Norris to back her up. It was also a perfect opportunity for her to get close to Norris herself.

This was the Norris Richards. The grandson of the prestigious Richards family of Neon Spire. He was not only tall, handsome, and from a privileged background, but also incredibly capable—a successful entrepreneur at a young age with a business empire extending overseas.

Otherwise, Kingsward University wouldn't have invited him to lecture time and time again.

By bringing Norris here, she could get a chance to interact with him personally while also currying favor with Charis. It was a win-win.

In fact, Nicolette and Yvette had been trying to get Charis to introduce them to Norris for a while, but she had always made excuses.

Now, the opportunity had presented itself, and they weren't about to let it slip away.

Seeing Nicolette run out, Charis panicked. "Nicolette! Stop!" she yelled.

Yvette had attended Norris's lecture yesterday. The dashing, debonair young master from a powerful family had left her utterly captivated. There was no way she would let Charis stop Nicolette. The bigger the scene, the better. Maybe she could even use this chance to get Norris's WhatsApp number. Once she had that, the rest could be handled patiently. Cinderella stories happened all the time. Why couldn't it happen to her?

Charis was practically fuming, her face pale. She turned to Yvette and snapped, "Are you deaf? Norris is here at Kingsward for a lecture. He's here on business! And you want to bother him with this trivial matter? This is ridiculous! Make Nicolette come back right now!"

Yvette, completely oblivious to Charis's panic, was only focused on meeting Norris. "Miss Gonzales! How can you call this a trivial matter? You are the precious darling of the entire Richards family. If Mr. Richards knew you were being treated badly right in your own dorm, it would break his heart! Don't you worry. With Nicolette and me here, we won't let anyone push you around."
