A Divorce Make Me Rich

“Well, just average.”

Rachel sounded modest, but smugness was written all over her face. “Let me introduce to you. This is my boyfriend Louis Dillon, the Deputy General Manager of the Business Department of Cloudbound. Oh, he earned 800, 000 a year.”

She deliberately emphasized the last few sentences, and Louis smiled proudly with that big gold tooth exposed.

She was waiting to see Lyra’s face, expecting to satisfy her own vanity.

But Lyra only looked indifferent.

This exasperated Rachel. Lyra had always loved to pretend, putting on that aloof look all the time. Rachel wanted to rip that mask off her!

“I heard you got divorced?”

Rachel said, sizing her up and down. Seeing Lyra in what seemed to be office uniform, she snickered, “You’re a saleswoman here? It’s only been a few years, and you’ve become like this?”

Lyra stared at her like she was looking at a fool, and she replied with a half smile, “I came to buy a car.”

She then withdrew her gaze, turned her head and went inside to start browsing the cars along with the shop assistant, not intending to put too much energy on those irrelevant people.

Rachel was more furious when she saw that Lyra was ignoring her, and still looked as high and mighty as before.

Two days ago, she went back to the orphanage and heard that Lyra was not only divorced, but also left without getting any property.

But she was actually here to buy a car today?

“I’d like to see what kind of car you can afford.” Staring at Lyra’s back, Rachel muttered to herself. Then she turned to looked behind her at Louis, pouting, “Honey, honey, let’s take a look inside. After all, it is your gift for me. I want to choose carefully and pick the most outstanding and suitable car for myself.”

Louis, who was still daydreaming about Lyra’s enticing body, agreed immediately when Rachel asked to go inside as well.

Lyra in the inner area headed to the VW economy car sections eventually.

She didn’t really have a thing for luxury; she pursued more of simpleness and utility.

Lyra was gonna make a quick decision, when Rachel’s voice suddenly came from behind,

“Who would’ve thought that you come here to for some cheap car like the Volkswagen Magotan. You ain’t having a good time after the divorce, I guess?”

Arms crossed, she looked at Lyra disdainfully.

Lyra wasn’t going to pay any attention to her, treating her like she was invisible.

Though being Ignored, Rachel was not annoyed and continued, “For the sake of our former friendship, I can ask my boyfriend to introduce you some excellent male employees in the company. He is after all the Deputy General Manager and has great prestige among his subordinates.”

Louis had been fixing his eyes on Lyra, and when he heard Rachel mention him, he immediately smiled, looking more lecherous.

“Since you’re Rachel’s friend, then you’re also my friend. You can add me on Facebook later and contact me anytime.”

Rachel glared at him. Having been with him for two and a half years, she already knew what a womanizer this man was, so she immediately understood what he was suggesting.

“I ask you to introduce her to some reliable males. Why need to add her on Facebook? You want to talk about something intimate that I can’t know about?”

She said it with a smile, but the look she gave Louis was utterly ferocious.

Louis’ face changed slightly and he hastily wrapped his arm around her waist, “No, how’s that possible. You are my baby. I care about her, because I love you and want to make you happy…”

The two seemed to be displaying their affection on purpose. Lyra was annoyed from listening to this.

“No need. Such wonderful men, just save them for yourself.”

Seeing her trying to leave, Rachel came after her, very upset that Louis had obviously just had his eye on her.

Lyra had always like to compete with her from before, and now she still wanted to compete with her for men?

The more Rachel thought about it, the more displeased she became, and her words grew harsher. She taunted, “I’m helping you with good intentions. What are you pretending? You took out a loan to buy the car, right? Wouldn’t it be better to have a boyfriend pay for you?”

Lyra frowned and threw a glance at her.

Considering that his boyfriend Louis was here, and that they had spent a hard time in the orphanage together, after all, Lyra didn’t intend to argue with her. She planned to leave as soon as she bought the car. They weren’t gonna meet each other in the future anyway.

Rachel thought that she didn’t dare to talk back, so she became even more arrogant.

She yelled at Lyra’s back, “You’re just a whore cast away by the Freeman’s. What are you so proud of? Do you really think you are superior to me?”

The voice, though not loud, reached Lyra’s ears precisely.

“What did you say?” Lyra’s footsteps jerked to a halt and she glared coldly back at Rachel.

Rachel was stunned by the chill in her eyes, but the next second she resumed her smug look, “You know it very well whether you’re a whore or not.”

Lyra’s face grew grimmer and grimmer.

“I was going to let you off the hook, but you asked for it.”

Rachel had been a bit intimidated by her strong presence and worried about how she would retaliate.

But then Lyra walked out of place without looking back, and was soon out of sight.

“Who doesn’t know bluffing? My boyfriend is the Deputy General Manager of Cloudbound. You dare to threaten me? You’re the one that’s gonna beg for my mercy!”

She hurled invectives in the direction of Lyra’s departure, making up for the two seconds of weakness she had just experienced.

Rachel didn’t take Lyra’s words seriously. She said to Louis in a coquettish voice while holding his arm

“Honey, I want a little BMW, a sports car. You’re the best, babe. Let’s go see it?”

Louis face stiffened for a second. His annual salary was only 800, 000, a BMW sports car could bite a large chunk off that sum.

But he got carried away by Rachel’s flattery, and so many shop assistants were staring at him, so it would be too humiliating to say he didn’t have the money. Therefore, he agreed to it.

The two were holding each other, looking very intimate.

But due to their age gap, they were more like father and daughter than a couple. It was actually quite a cringy scene to watch.

The two then walked towards the door with their arms around each other under the odd stares of the crowd.

Just as they walked out the door, suddenly, there was a splash.

“Ah!”

Before Rachel could react, she was splashed with car wash wastewater that had been gathered for days from the store beside.

When Louis noticed, he immediately jumped to the side, but still got splashed with some wastewater.

Rachel, one second she was the glamorous chick in burgundy body-con, and the next, she became a sodden chicken which smelled unpleasantly sour.

She screamed hysterically, glowering at the person who had splashed her.

It was a young girl, wearing a staff uniform; there was a timid look on her face, but her eyes showed no fear at all.

Rachel was completely put out. Even a little staff dare offend her.

“Didn’t your mother teach you to watch it while walking? My clothes, shoes and bag are all designer brands. Do you know how much they worth? It’s not what you can earn here even with ten years of labor…”

The young employee did not say anything and just let her cuss like a shrew.

“I’m not finished with you today. In addition to apologizing, I also want compensation for my mental damage. Also, I’ll have you fired from here forever!”

The young employee held the bucket and still didn’t say a word.

Rachel became more irritated since she couldn’t vent her anger, “Are you dumb? Didn’t your mother teach you to speak the human language?”

Louis rushed to Rachel’s aid, “Go get your boss here and tell him that the VP of Cloudbound wants to see him! He needs to give an account of this personally!”

The Deputy General Manager of Business Department of Cloudbound, directly simplified to the VP of Cloudbound.

Louis had his vanity skyrocket to the extreme.

“I’m the boss, and this one is on me.”

A crisp female voice suddenly sounded.

The two turned their heads to see Lyra leaning against a luxury car, relaxed, smiling lightly.
