The Genius Ex-Wife’s Revenge Portfolio novel Chapter 707

“Mr. Wade, I’ve set aside the best private suite at the Golden Spoon just for you. Mr. Wade, Ms. Wade, please follow me.”

The restaurant owner led Moss and Jessa down the hall, practically beaming with enthusiasm.

Jessa could barely sit still. Her nerves and excitement piled up until she had to ask, “Dad, is Mom here already?”

Moss barely reacted. “Let’s go in and see.”

“Mr. Wade, Ms. Wade, here’s your suite. Please, make yourselves comfortable.”

The owner opened the door, and Jessa hurried inside. “Mom!”

The room was empty. Joanna hadn’t arrived yet.

Moss checked his watch. “We’re early. Grab a seat, Jessa.”

Jessa nodded and perched on the edge of a plush chair. “Okay.”

A gentle chime broke the quiet. Moss’s phone lit up.

“Jessa, I need to take this call. I’ll be right outside.”

“Alright.”

While Moss stepped out, Jessa fussed with her long dress, smoothing the fabric and checking the seams for wrinkles. After a minute, she got up and slipped into the restroom. She had to make sure her lipstick was perfect.

She was still fixing her makeup when a striking woman walked into view. Joanna had arrived.

Jessa squared her shoulders. “You must not know who I am. Let me make it simple. I’m a big deal in the Capital. I can do whatever I want here. You messed up my dress, so you’d better get on your knees and apologize.”

Joanna laughed, the sound cold. “I haven’t been back in the Capital for years and suddenly there’s a new queen around here? You’re the first person who’s ever demanded I kneel and apologize.”

Jessa gave Joanna a once-over. “I’ve never seen you at any of the Capital’s high-society events. Where did you come from? That dress is expensive, but I doubt you paid for it yourself. Some man probably bought it for you. Let me guess, you’re a rich man’s mistress.”

Jessa prided herself on knowing every socialite in the Capital. Joanna was a total stranger, but with her looks and confidence, she had to be some kind of well-kept mistress.

Joanna couldn’t help but laugh, both annoyed and genuinely amused. “It’s my first day back in the Capital and I run into someone like you. You really think I’m a rich man’s mistress? Are you serious right now? Do you even know who you’re talking to?”

Jessa sneered. “So, who are you supposed to be?”
