The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge novel Chapter 796

Laughter spilled out of the private room as the dinner party wound down. James had already called to book a VIP suite at a nightclub, planning to continue drinking with Lanny elsewhere.

He still hadn't secured the funding for the project, making the promised billions feel like a mirage. Yet, he'd already blown nearly ten million at The Crystal Room tonight. If they didn't leave soon, they'd be fleeced for even more.

Meanwhile, Hawthorne was about to take Patti back to her apartment when Hans came rushing over, nearly colliding with them.

“What is it?” Hawthorne asked, noting Hans’s obvious panic.

Hans glanced nervously at Patti before leaning in to whisper in Hawthorne’s ear. “Mr. Everhart, Ms. Everhart is here. She’s about to walk in. I tried to stall her, but I was afraid she'd see me, so I rushed over to warn you.”

He had no idea how Gwyneth had managed to show up here, of all places, and she was heading straight for The Crystal Room. It was as if she knew Hawthorne was here and had come specifically to find him.

Hawthorne’s expression darkened. Why would Gwyneth come now? James and Lanny were still inside, and Patti was right here with him.

Patti, however, had overheard the entire exchange between Hans and Hawthorne, and a faint, knowing smile touched her lips. She had been wondering why Gwyneth had been so quiet all day. It turned out she was just feigning composure.

First, she’d shown up at the apartment and made a fool of herself, and now she was chasing him to a restaurant. Her appearance was sure to ruin the elaborate scheme Hawthorne had been carefully constructing for so long. Patti was certain that regardless of whether Gwyneth succeeded, she would only earn Hawthorne's disgust.

How did a woman with a brain like that even become a wealthy socialite? All she ever thought about was love and romance, without a shred of cunning.
