THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 1205

Caitlin's assistant stepped forward, blocking Elsa's mother. "Didn't you hear Miss Gonzales?" she said with a frown. "She has no relationship with Elsa anymore. Please keep your distance!"

Still, Elsa's mother wouldn't give up. She shouted at Caitlin's retreating back, "Miss Gonzales! Miss Gonzales! Whatever the misunderstanding is, we can sit down and talk it out. Please don't ignore me!"

Caitlin didn't even turn her head.

As Caitlin's figure disappeared down the corridor, a strange sense of panic gripped Elsa's mother. What on earth had happened between Caitlin and Elsa? Why was Caitlin being so cruel? And what about the luxury apartment? Was she really not going to give it to them?

If Caitlin didn't give them the apartment, what would happen to Elton? He was already twenty-two! He was approaching marrying age, and without that apartment, were his son and daughter-in-law supposed to cram into their old, run-down building with them? No, that wouldn't do. Elton's girlfriend was also an overseas student. It would be completely inappropriate to make them live in such a cramped, shabby place.

Growing more frantic by the second, Elsa's mother went to her husband, her brow furrowed. "What do you think happened between Elsa and Miss Gonzales? To just take back the promise of an apartment like that!"

"Calm down," Elsa's father said, patting her shoulder. "The fact that Miss Gonzales was willing to come and save Elsa proves that she still cares about her as a friend."

If they were truly no longer friends, as Caitlin claimed, why would she have bothered to save her? Elsa's father had already asked around. The doctors had essentially given Elsa a death sentence, and it was Caitlin's arrival that had brought a glimmer of hope.

Elsa's mother nodded, thinking her husband had a point. But she was still uneasy. "Then do you think Miss Gonzales will still give us the apartment?"

"She probably will," Elsa's father mused, narrowing his eyes. "Miss Gonzales doesn't strike me as someone that petty."
