Worship The Ground You Walk On

The banquet was still going on. The shining lights and toasts made it more thrilling than ever, but Claudia didn't feel like staying anymore.

She felt nothing but coldness in her heart, and she had never been so desperate. She avoided everyone and sneaked out of the hotel from the back door.

The back door was the way to an underground parking lot, where cars were going in and out from time to time, but it was a very isolated place in general, which made it hard for Claudia to get a cab.

She was there all alone.

As Claudia was about to leave, she saw a charming figure not far away. A woman was heading to Claudia, her high heels clattering.

“Losing your man's love and sneaking out like a pathetic cur. Should I pity you?”

Amber walked towards her with a contemptuous look. Her beautiful face was so attractive with a sense of self-satisfaction seeping out.

An unnamed annoyance was accommodating inside Claudia. She clenched her slender fingers.

“I told you that Ben will never have any place for you in his heart!" Amber mocked in the posture of victory.”

Claudia knew that Ben might have no place for her in his heart; however, she was sure that there wasn't any place in there for Amber, either.

“Hello? Tired of listening? I'm just telling you the truth! You think he'll fall in love with you just because you're pregnant? Only incompetent wives would use her kid as the leverage to save her marriage!"

Claudia heard that. Her cold beautiful eyes looked into Amber's eyes. Only if she could say something! She wanted to ask Claudia, "Where's your baby then?”

The woman who couldn't bear a child and wanted to steal somebody else's. She was in no position to look down upon anyone!

Even God was unfair sometimes. He had to make Claudia a mute.

She couldn't say that out loud in Amber's face.

“We'll see!” Amber tightly covered herself up with a men's suit. It was Ben's, well designed and nicely tailored.
