THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 204

This was about as likely as the sun rising in the west.

Clearly, to Gordon, his nephew meant the world.

The more Skyler thought about it, the more excited he became.

“That’ll be three hundred thousand. Cash or transfer?” Gordon’s voice cut through the air again.

Skyler froze.

So much for the excitement.

His uncle was as stingy as ever.

“A fee? Are you serious, Uncle? Am I really your nephew?”

“Le Palais des Thés is a rare treasure. You can’t just buy it anywhere. Do you really think I’d give a pack away for free to someone who wasn’t family? And you’re getting a huge discount. If not, how about I give you three hundred thousand and you try buying a pack for me?”

Skyler fell silent, but he had to admit—his uncle had a point.

Three hundred thousand wouldn’t get you Le Palais des Thés.

Not even eighty grams.

Not even eight.

“Fine, I’ll transfer it.” Skyler pulled out his phone and sent Gordon the money without hesitation.

Only after the payment notification popped up did Gordon finally hand over the box of tea.

“Thanks, Uncle~”

--

September 1st.

The first day of school.

Caitlin and Celeste Hayes arrived at Central Academy right on time.

Luck was on their side—they’d both been placed in the same class.

Caitlin stared at the class assignments posted on the bulletin board. “March, it’s like fate wants us together!”

There were thirty transfer students, and with twenty-five senior classes, each class would only get one or two new students. The odds of her and Celeste ending up together were like winning the lottery.

“Honestly,” Celeste giggled, linking arms with Caitlin, “besides fate, my dad’s wallet might have played a role.”

“No wonder,” Caitlin laughed.

They headed off to the main office to check in.

Their homeroom teacher seemed warm and approachable.

“Caitlin and Celeste, right? Come with me.”
