Chapter 98


    Chapter 98


    Moira pursed her lips and stepped aside, allowing Bernice to pass. She then followed Bernice into


    the vi


    Hearing Bary had left the vi, Bernice went there for Moira. She thought Moira was not so


    intelligent, butter realized Moira was mocking her,


    Irritatedly, Bernice sat down and asked Moira to get her a ss of water.


    Moira grabbed a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator and ced it before Bernice, “Enjoy


    yourself. I have plenty of water.”


    Bernice red at Moira and mmed her hand down on the table, shouting, “Do you have any


    manners for guests?”


    Moira showed a sweet smile and replied, “Of course I have. But you’re not my guest.”


    Bernice finally realized that she was nothing in Moira’s eyes. She did not want to waste one second


    here and went straight to her purpose, saying, “Ms Jimenez, you’re a smart girl.”


    Bernice pondered, “Moira’s bridegroom left her at the wedding, but Moira managed to marry Bary


    within two months. She can’t be s t u p i d based on that. I was careless just now.”


    Bernice held back her anger and slightly lifted her head, recovering her previous arrogance. She


    continued, “Being here is thest thing I want to do. However, Bary is my son anyway. Let’s be


    clear. Such a woman like you can’t be one of the Covington family!”


    Moira looked at Bernice and smiled, replying, “Well, Mrs. Covington, do you not see the irony and


    hypocrisy in your words?” She thought, ‘Although I’m only Bary’s legal wife without much feelings


    for him, I’m still leagues ahead of that home wrecker, Bernice!


    Moira’s sarcasm grated on Bernice’s nerves, her hands trembling w


    with irritation. She pulled a check from her purse and dered, “Here’s a 10-million- dor check.


    It’s yours if you can divorce Bary within three months.”


    Moira grabbed the check to take a closer look at the zeros. After confirming it was 10 million dors,


    she spoke, “Sorry, Mrs. Covington, I’m not that type of person.” She retorted inside, ‘Come on! I’m


    not a fool! Bary is worth far more than this!’


    Bernice seemed to anticipate Moira’s reaction. She sneered and showed Moira another check,


    saying, “This is another 10-million-dor check. I’m offering 20 million dors in total. You can have


    them all if you divorce Bary in three months.”


    Moira muttered inside, ’20 million dors?’ She hesitated, her throat tightening with temptation.


    Moira pondered, ‘Paragon Corporation’s revenues have been declining years ago. Its performance


    gets worse year by year. I don’t think its revenues this year can hit 20 million dors, not to mention


    its profits.


    “People all consider it was a great deal for me to marry Alfie. Their words made sense


    ‘My fathercks business acumen, but he’s done his best to keep Paragon Corporation from going


    bankrupt.


    Bary’s stepmother is generous. I almost want


    ant to say yes if I were Bary’s wife for real. That is 20 million dors! Anyone will be tempted!


    If I took the 20 million dors before me, I could reject to participate in somemercials, and my


    father could retire.”


    The more Moira thought, the more she got tempted. She locked her hands under the table to


    prevent her from taking the checks and replied, “Bary is priceless for me.”


    Bernice quickly grasped Moira’s implication. She was so furious that she jumped up and yelled,


    “Always wanting more can end up costing you everything in the end!” Then, she grabbed the


    checks from the table and stormed out of the vi in her high heels.

    Moira stared at Bernice’s back and felt like she was watching 20 million dors flying away from her.


    She cried inside, Ahh, I want that money so badly!”
