Too Good for You The Ex-Wife You Lost novel Chapter 236

In the end, the matter came to a close.

Clifford was taken into police custody. If all the evidence held up, he would be formally charged with child abuse, and Zayne's custody would return to Noelle.

Although Noelle had never planned to fight for Zayne's custody, as a mom, there was no way she could simply walk away, now that he was blind and she had sent Clifford into prison.

Still, from now on, she would no longer devote herself to Zayne as wholeheartedly as before.

This counterattack caught Clifford completely off guard. Laura had wanted to tarnish Noelle's reputation with the public sentiment and leverage the wave of attention to ruin her career. That wasn't just malicious; it was venomous.

Noelle had no intention of letting Laura off so easily. She hadn't settled scores with what happened to Maxine yet, and now that Laura had pulled such a stunt, Noelle would have to take the first strike.

"I heard the Haberkorns are hosting a dinner party tonight. It was supposed to be where Laura would spread my child abuse allegations, so why don't we go and enjoy the spectacle together?"

Noelle turned to Hunter for his opinion, and of course, he didn't object. "Sure. I'll go with you."

Noelle's lips curved slightly. "I'm sure Ms. Sherman will be in a wonderful mood tonight."

With her accomplice sent to prison and her revenge plans toward Noelle completely failed, Laura had to be "thrilled". She was probably livid beyond measure upon learning that Clifford was arrested.

…

That evening, Noelle arrived at the Haberkorn family's dinner party in a form-fitting white gown.

This time, the Haberkorns held the dinner party at a hotel rather than at the Haberkorn residence.

When Noelle entered arm in arm with Hunter, countless gazes were drawn to her. There was only one reason—she was simply dazzling.

Murmurs rose all around.

Moments later, Laura made her grand entrance as well, flanked by a fawning entourage. When her eyes swept over to Noelle, they flashed with malice, though she carefully kept up appearances.

After all, this was a dinner party hosted by the Haberkorn family, and she didn't have the guts to openly target a world champion.

"Ms. Quinn, what a surprise to see you gracing our family dinner party with your presence."

Laura walked up to Noelle, shot a glance at Hunter, her disappointing son standing nearby.

Laura's instincts screamed that something was wrong, but Noelle didn't spare her another look before turning to leave with Hunter.

Hunter, her dear son, didn't bother to acknowledge her either.

Laura was furious. Was he really her biological son?

…

While Laura fumed, the socialites she had invited began to arrive.

She forced a smile and moved forward to greet them, only to find them acting like they didn't see her at all. Instead, they turned to greet Liam's strongest rival, Keane Haberkorn.

Laura's expression darkened with rage, and she nearly collapsed on the spot.

W-What on earth was going on?
