Ex-husband's Sweet Trap

A loud slap resounded loudly in the restaurant.

Maddison was so shocked by the slap that she almost couldn't register the pain. She held her hand to her stinging cheek. "Did you just slap me? How dare you slap me!"

"You insulted my child and me first. Why wouldn't I dare to slap you?"

A trace of anger appeared on Luz's face. If Maddison had only insulted her, she might have been able to ignore her since they were in public, but she should not have said that her son was a b*stard. Previously, most of the patrons in the restaurant were enjoying their food and not taking notice of what was going on in their corner, but the loud slap attracted a lot of attention. Several people had looked up from their food to watch them. Maddison had covered her face with her hand, but the other cheek that was not covered was redder than the one that was slapped. She had lost all the elegance and reputation that she had fought so hard to build all these years.

"Luz, you'll pay for this."

Maddison couldn't stand another second of embarrassment here. She stomped her foot and exited the restaurant in a hurry.

After seeing them leave, Luz pulled Logan back to their table. She had suddenly lost all appetite for the food that she had been looking forward to. She should have checked the horoscope before coming out today. Meeting Maddison Nash had put a damper on her day.

Logan was watching her intently. He was going to retaliate for the b*stard comment as well, but he was limited in height, so he didn't carry out his plans. He wasn't very bothered about it, though, but he drew the line at insulting his mother.

However, it wasn't all in vain. At least he now knew for certain that he was Henry Maynard's son.

When he thought of that cold and angry face, there was more dissatisfaction in his eyes. That guy was not gentle at all, nor was he cute. At most, he had some money, but he also heard that his mother was rich before he was born. Why had she married him, of all people?

Compared to him, Uncle Declan was much better.

"Forget this. Didn't you want fried chicken and ice cream? I'll take you to the fast-food restaurant."

Opposite him, Luz threw down her fork. She had lost her appetite after speaking to Maddison.

"Yes! Mommy, you're the best!"

The mention of ice cream was enough to make Logan forget about who would make a better father. He grabbed Luz's arm and dragged her out of the restaurant.

The two of them left the restaurant happily. Behind them, a camera clicked several times, recording the scene that had just happened.

"Henry, are you still angry with me? I know I was wrong, can you forgive me?"

At the movie set, Emily was calling Henry and begging for his forgiveness pitifully. She knew that if she didn't admit to her wrongdoing about the perfume, she would be replaced soon.

As long as she could keep having Henry Maynard as her sponsor, she was willing to stoop to any level.

"I'm busy today. Find your own way home."

At the other end of the phone, Henry hung up without giving Emily another chance to apologize.

"What should we do? Henry is really angry."

She looked down at the phone in her hand that was still showing the ended call. She knew very well that Henry did not love her, but he had never treated her so coldly. That was how she was able to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry, but it seemed that he was really angry this time.

"Emily, do you want me to send you back?"

Her assistant asked, seeing that she was in a bad mood.

"No, I'll drive back by myself." Emily stomped her foot, feeling very annoyed. Without Henry, she might lose her status as a superstar.

"Alright then, drive safe, Emily." The assistant didn't dare to say anything else. She packed up the scripts and went back to talk to the stunt people.

Seething with anger, Emily drove out of the filming location. She wanted to go to the company to see Henry, but she was scared. Henry had told her that he did not want to see her for at least a few days. She didn't dare to defy him.

When she was so angry that she didn't know where to go, the phone suddenly rang. She looked at the phone number, and there was a flash of contempt and annoyance in her eyes, but she still picked up the phone.

"Hey, did you find something?"

"Of course. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to take the initiative to call a big star like you. Come out and have a talk."

Andres's voice came from the other end of the phone, which made her frown with disgust.

"Mr Giles, I don't think it's appropriate for a paparazzi and a celebrity to meet in person. You can tell me what you found over the phone."

It had taken her a lot of effort to climb to where she was now, so she wouldn't risk it all and associate herself with people of her past. However, Andres clearly did not want to talk over the phone.

"I have something you'll be interested in. Don't you really want to see it yourself? I make an appointment in the Osrant Mansion. Don't worry, it's safe there. I'll see you there in an hour, superstar."

He hung up right after he finished speaking. Emily gritted her teeth in anger so hard that her jaw hurt. It was one thing for Henry to hang up on her, but this Andres Giles was just a nobody. How dare he threaten her!

But when she thought of what Andres had just said, she couldn't help but be curious. She quickly changed the direction of the car and drove to the Osrant Mansion.

The Osrant Mansion was a private garden famous for its primrose collection, so it was not a high-end place, since primroses were a common breed for commoners. Emily disguised herself with some of the garments she kept in the boot of her car and went in cautiously.

"Over here, superstar."

Andres had already seen her. When Emily entered the room, he shouted, which scared her so much that she quickly ran over to cover his mouth.

"Keep your voice down!"

Emily sat down opposite him angrily. She immediately held out her hands and said, "What did you want to show me?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? After all, we are old acquaintances. Let's have a talk about the good old days first."

Andres looked at Emily with lust in his eyes. In the past, this woman had asked him for a lot of help in order to get more exposure. As for the repayment, well, he hadn't had a chance to enjoy her since she got together with Henry Maynard.

"Andres, I warn you, if you speak to me like that again, I'll make sure you lose your position in the entertainment industry."

Emily's expression soured. Her past was nothing but a long and nasty humiliation to her. She would erase all memories of it if it was possible.

"Ouch, the superstar is threatening me."

The smile on Andres's face did not change, but he looked away from her plump bosom. After all, she was now Henry's woman. He could torture her later when Henry gets tired of her.

"Good. Now show me whatever it was you wanted to show me." Emily raised her head in mock arrogance. She did not want to relapse, so she could not lose Henry.

"Look at how anxious you are. I've been working hard the entire morning. Here's the result." Adres took out a brown envelope from behind him. He did not expect to get such scandalous news in less than a day after receiving the job. ☐☐☐☐
