THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 817

Hearing Tina say this, Shirley's guard lowered a little. On the other hand, her boyfriend was currently abroad, and the time difference with Valerium was significant. By the time she got off work and went home, it would be past three in the morning for him.

So, she could only seize the moment to chat with her boyfriend.

Besides, Tina was her junior from school, after all. And she knew Tina's character.

Tina was a very good person.

Otherwise, Shirley wouldn't have helped her out in the first place.

Thinking this, Shirley picked up the medicine Carey was supposed to take today and handed it to Tina. "Tina, I'll have to trouble you then."

"Shirley, you don't have to be so formal with me." Tina took the medicine Shirley handed over.

Shirley added another instruction, "Remember, you must personally watch Madam take the medicine."

"I know." Tina nodded. "Shirley, I'll go deliver the medicine to Madam now."

Shirley glanced at the time and thought it was about right. "Then you should go. Just play it by ear. If the Dowager and the young lady aren't done yet, you can deliver it a little later."

"Okay." Tina nodded again.

After Tina left, Shirley took out her phone and continued her video call with her boyfriend.

Tina didn't go directly to give Carey the medicine. Instead, she returned to her own office first.

She replaced all the pills Shirley had prescribed for Carey.

She swapped them for medication that nourished the mind and improved brain function.

After discreetly making the switch, Tina carried the medicine to Carey's room.

But Carey wasn't in her room.

Tina frowned slightly and asked a nearby maid, "Where is Madam?"

The maid's expression shifted. "She's gone to the chapel."

The Vance family's chapel was where Dowager Vance went to pray.

It was also Carey's personal torture chamber.

After saying this, the maid lowered her voice. "Dr. Tina, if you're delivering medicine to Madam, you should probably come back later! I think Madam is in for another rough time today."

The maid was long accustomed to such things.

Carey was nominally the lady of Vance Castle.

In reality, she was treated worse than a servant.

Tina took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. "Okay, I understand."
