The CEO's Amazing Ex-Wife Is Back (Thalassa and Kris) novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Earlier that morning...

"We did it, Mrs. Miller!" Karen Blade squealed excitedly like a child.

Linda Miller, on the other hand, simply smiled. "Yes. We finally managed to kick that social climber out of my son's life. This deserves a toast."

Picking up the bottle of expensive wine, she poured it into the two glasses on the serving tray. She usually would have called one of the servants to do it for her, but she didn't want anyone listening in on her conversation with Karen.

Once each had a glass in hand, they clinked them together in a toast. Linda brought her glass to her lips elegantly and took a sip of the wine, enjoying the taste of victory. Some would say it was too early to drink wine, but sometimes, you just had to make exceptions.

Karen sighed blissfully. "Oh, Mrs. Miller, I honestly thought we would never see this day. After everything we did so that Kris wouldn't marry her, he still went ahead and married her. I thought he would never leave her."

The night before Kris and Thalassa's wedding, Karen had forced Thalassa to come along with her under the guise of a bachelorette party. There, she drugged Thalassa's drink. Afterwards, she got someone to pretend to be having sex with Thalassa, taking pictures to make it seem like Thalassa was cheating on Kris.

When they showed the pictures to Kris, they expected him to call off the wedding, but to their shock, he still went ahead and married Thalassa.

"That woman definitely placed my son under some kind of spell, but I thank God that we've finally been able to break it," Linda sneered, raising her glass for another toast.

Karen was just about to sip some of the wine, but her hand froze midair as a troubling thought occurred to her.

Linda noticed her sudden change of expression and questioned, "What is it? Why so serious all of a sudden?"

"Mrs. Miller, what about Thalassa's pregnancy? I know we made Kris believe she was lying, but she's truly pregnant."

"Oh, that's why you're suddenly so worried?" Immediately, a smile crept onto Linda's face as she waved her hand dismissively. "Don't worry about it. I took care of that little problem last night."

Karen froze. "What do you mean?"

Linda didn't reply, but her smile gave Karen her answer. Karen gasped, her eyes widening.

"Mrs. Miller, did you send someone to hurt Thalassa? You didn't do that, right?"

Yes, she'd wanted Thalassa out of Kris's life so she could have Kris all to herself, but that didn't mean she wanted someone to harm her.

Linda's smile immediately dropped as she glared at Karen. "Don't tell me you're starting to feel guilty about everything we did to get that woman out of my son's life?"

She let out a huff of disbelief. "Don't be foolish, girl. That lowlife stole my son from you even though you were the one who loved him first. She didn't care about your so-called friendship, so why should you? Besides, do you really think that if I allowed her to have that baby, she wouldn't have tried to use it to get my son back?"

Karen was conflicted for a few more seconds, but she shook her head to ward off the tinge of guilt she was feeling. Mrs. Miller was right. Thalassa hadn't cared when stealing Kris from her, so why should she care?

"I'm sorry, you're right."

Linda's smile returned. "Good. Now that's the spirit I want from my future daughter-in-law." She winked. "Now go and show my son that you're the perfect woman for him. He's in the study room."

She'd always wanted Karen as her daughter-in-law because Karen was from a wealthy family and part of their social class, unlike Thalassa, who was nothing but a lowlife who had seduced her son.

Karen beamed excitedly as she slipped out of Linda's room and went downstairs. She was wearing a dress with buttons on the front, and as soon as she was in front of Kris's study room door, she made sure the first three were unbuttoned, exposing her pumped-up cleavage. After that, she knocked gently on the door.

"Come in," Kris's voice came some seconds later.

"Hey," she said coyly when she stepped into the study room.

Kris looked up briefly at her before returning his gaze to his laptop. "Karen, what are you doing here?"

"I just wanted to see how you were doing."
