THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 378

Carla was the first to react, her eyes wide in disbelief as she turned to Caitlin. “Freya—wait, so you’re actually Miss Kensington from Apex?”

“Yes,” Caitlin replied with a small nod.

Carla let out a shriek. “Oh my gosh! I can’t believe I’m meeting Miss Kensington from Apex in the flesh! This is unreal!”

Victor, ever the quick thinker, immediately pieced together what had just happened. He turned to Keira and said with a chuckle, “Miss Kensington is extraordinary in every way, but she’s always kept a low profile. If I’d known you were the long-lost granddaughter of the Gonzales family, I would’ve visited long ago! What a mix-up—family not recognizing family! Please, Mrs. Gonzales, don’t hold my cluelessness against me.”

At that moment, Ann’s face, already pale, turned ghostly white. She looked like she might faint right then and there.

Why?

Why did Caitlin have to be the legendary Miss Kensington?

Ann would never have imagined this day would come. Thinking back to everything she’d just said to Caitlin, she wished the floor would open up and swallow her whole. She’d never been so mortified in her life.

Amanda, too, was struggling to stay upright, completely blindsided. She’d been so sure today would be the day to humiliate Caitlin, to finally see her stumble.

In the end, it was her own precious daughter who was the real laughingstock.

Keira smiled warmly. “Mr. Winslow, you’re making too much of it. Since we’re all family here, please, have a seat. Stay for lunch with us.”

“Thank you, Mrs. Gonzales.” Victor gratefully found an empty chair and sat down.

Old Mrs. Ryan turned to Keira, unable to hide her admiration. “Keira, truly—like father, like daughter! Stuart was a powerhouse in the business world, and now Freya is every bit his equal!”

She added, pointedly, “Not like some people—empty vessels make the loudest noise, while those truly capable let their actions speak.”
