My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 39 Scandal

Sydney was in a bad mood and did not expect Layden to send a gift to her when he was all the way in Bourbon.

That gift of his improved her gloomy mood.

After replying to Layden's message, Sydney put the ring on her ring finger, covering up traces of her previous wedding ring.

When Julien caught the bright smile on her lips, his eyes suddenly darkened.

Kate did not expect someone to send such an expensive gift to Sydney, and she was both furious and jealous.

Then, she thought of something and deliberately asked aloud, "Ms. Raines, didn't you say your boyfriend was Luke Chase? You even used his name to enter the club. Is this 'Mr. Lowe' that male model you're in a scandal with?

"To have Mr. Lowe send you such an expensive gift, I think you both are more than just friends." Kate snorted coldly. "I heard you only wanted to divorce President Flint because you had a man out there. I didn't believe it then, but it seems now that the gossip is true!"

Sydney sneered in her heart.

Other people might not know why she wanted to divorce Julien, but would Julien himself not know?

She glanced at Julien, maybe expecting him to clarify the truth for her. However, the man simply held Lyra and stood there, his eyes cold and unmoved.

Yes, she saw with her own eyes what he did earlier.

What was she still expecting?

When the tattoo on her waist had been removed, the faint flame of hope in Sydney’s heart extinguished completely.

"Why don't you say something, Ms. Raines?" Kate said provocatively. "Does Luke know about Mr. Lowe’s gift? Does he know you’re cheating on him?"

"How did a sparrow fly into a private room?" Luke’s voice suddenly sounded in the room.

Immediately after, Luke came into the room, wearing a back shirt with a disgusted expression on his face." The sparrow’s chirping is too noisy. If only I could cut off her tongue and make her shut up."

His vicious words made Kate shiver and subconsciously take a few steps back.

Luke stood in front of Kate, sized her up and down, and clicked his tongue. "Why are you stepping back? Scared? Are you the sparrow I was talking about?"

"N-No." Kate stammered.

"I think you are. Your voice sounds a lot like that sparrow." Luke fiercely grabbed Kate by the hair, pressed her head on the table, and casually commanded, "Hey, can someone please pass me a knife?"

Sharon immediately picked up the fruit knife from the fruit tray, handed it over, and said thoughtfully, "The blade is very sharp. Be careful not to cut your hand."

Kate's legs trembled as she burst into tears. "L-Lyra... Macy..."

Macy finally reacted and glared at Luke. "She's a friend I brought here. Don’t you dare touch her, Luke Chase!"

Luke tilted his head as he glanced at Macy and then snickered. "Oh, I wondered who had such a big mouth, but it's just Mr. Graham's granddaughter."

He pressed the knife against Kate's cheek and moved it lightly.

Feeling her flesh cut open, Kate screamed, unable to control herself from trembling.

"I've touched her, so tell me. What are you going to do about it?" Luke raised his chin provocatively toward her. "Why don't you call your granddaddy here to fight me?"

Macy relied on her powerful family background and was hailed wherever she went. Everyone had to talk to her politely.

However, to her surprise, Luke had the guts to treat her like that today!

"Luke, are you going against the Graham family?" Macy narrowed her eyes, coming across as aggressive. "Do you think my family doesn't have anyone in Port City?" Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"Who do you have? Your husband Nathan Leigh?” Luke snickered again. "Everyone in the circle knows that Nathan wants to divorce you. After all, he has already cut off relations with your family long ago. Go ahead. Call him and see if he answers you!”

Macy's expression was hideous. She was clearly incensed.

Seeing that she did not dare say anything else, Luke looked around the room. There were quite a few women, and Julien and Lyra were present too.

Sydney had just gotten up from the sofa and pulled down her sweater, while the tattoo artist organized his toolbox.

Seeing that the situation seemed not quite right, Luke glanced at the person who handed him the fruit knife earlier. "Tell me. Did they bully my darling earlier?”

"They didn’t just bully her!” Sharon immediately went over and told Luke everything.

After listening to her story, Luke glanced at Julien and snorted. He threw Kate to the side and said to Sydney, "You guys can head to the room first. I'll go there after

I settle things here."

"No need. Let's just go." Sydney did not want Luke to get into trouble with the Graham family because of her. "Your birthday is more important."

"No. You were bullied. As your childhood friend, I can't just stand by and do nothing." Luke waved his hand and let Sharon take Sydney away. "I’ll just teach them a little lesson. I won't get physical."

"Let's go, Ms. Raines. Luke will handle this." Sharon dragged Sydney out, and the two quickly left the private room.

Luke swiftly walked to the table and casually took a seat. "Come on. Let's play a few rounds.

"We just need three more players for a full table." He lowered his head, lit a cigarette, and took a drag before saying carelessly, "If anyone can win from my hand, I’ll give her one million, kneel, and call her Ma’am. If I win from your card, you have to take off your clothes and leave the room in that state."

Compared to the money they would get from Luke if they won, taking their clothes off if they lost was nothing. As such, the women in the room were all tempted.

They could earn a million dollars just by winning a hand!

Macy could not stand Luke’s arrogant attitude, so she gnashed her teeth, took a big step forward, and sat down on the chair to Luke’s right. Then, she sneered," I'll wait for you to call me Ma'am!”

Luke leaned back against the chair languidly. "Sure. Who else wants to join? Hurry up. I have to go and accompany my darling after this!"

Since Macy was here, the others would not dare to move without her words, even if they were tempted.

With that, Macy picked a few ladies who had better skills and then looked at Lyra.

She did not speak, but Lyra understood.

"Julien, Mr. Chase is too much of a bully. Please help." Lyra's voice was soft. She knew that Julien's card skills were good, and Luke probably could not win against him.

Julien sat motionlessly and said in a low voice, "I still have emails to handle. You can go on and play."

Not expecting him to refuse, Lyra froze for a moment but quickly smiled at the man. "Okay. Wait for me."

Luke did not feel pressured going against three women and played aggressively.

Before the cards were handed out, he began knocking on the table and said impatiently, "Are you a pig? Why are you so slow with the cards? Can you hurry it up?"

The women's faces went red with anger.

Lyra felt she was a good player. She thought that since it was technically three against one, one of them would definitely win. Unexpectedly, Luke kept taking cards from her and seemed to be

targeting her

specifically.

In just a few rounds, Lyra had already taken off most of her clothes. She was left in just a white camisole.

“Game!" Luke revealed his cards again.

Lyra gnashed her teeth secretly.

She could tell that Luke was targeting her and getting revenge for Sydney in disguise!

After flicking off the cigarette ash, Luke looked at Lyra and urged her on. "What are you waiting for, Ms.

Madden? Strip!"
