THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 33

After speaking, Caitlin strode into the café without looking back.

Skyler watched her go, lips curled in a sneer.

She's insane.

Absolutely insane.

Did Caitlin really think she had some kind of mystical power to decide life or death with a few words, just because she acted so smug and self-assured?

What a charlatan.

Shameless.

Did she really think he'd fall for her tricks?

No way. Not a chance.

"Skyler."

A well-dressed woman appeared at his side, swinging a designer handbag that probably cost as much as a new car. She looked curiously in the direction Caitlin had disappeared. "Who were you just talking to? Looked like a girl—your girlfriend?"

"My girlfriend? Hardly," Skyler replied, rolling his eyes. "She's a con artist! Last time, she nearly scammed my uncle, and now she's trying the same with me!"

The woman was Skyler's mother, Alaina Sylvester.

Alaina was the eldest daughter of the Sylvester family—twenty years older than her youngest brother, Gordon.

At forty-nine, she looked stunning, not a single crow's foot marring her smile. Standing side by side with Skyler, they could've easily passed for siblings instead of mother and son.

Now, hearing her baby brother had almost been duped, Alaina's face registered genuine shock. She turned to her son, eyes wide. "Scammed? Your uncle? Are you serious?"

Her brother had always been exceptional, different from other kids even as a child. He was a genius, skipping grades all the way through school, earning a place at a top university at fifteen, and getting a head start in business by eighteen. Now, at just twenty-nine, he was already at the top of his field.

Over the years, Gordon had tasted nothing but success—except when it came to love.
