Chapter 34
“What are you doing here?” Polly asked again, her eyes seeming to emit laser beams at Cherise.
Cherise rolled her eyes and kept quiet. She didn’t feel the need to reply to such an ungrateful person. She still remembered everything Polly had done to her or how she had always caused trouble and blamed them on her.
On the other hand, Katherine looked at Hudson and instantly knew who the other three women were.
“Ahhh… You must be the evil Amery mother–daughter duo and the mistress,” she smiled, and as usual, she looked seductive when doing it, especially when her eyes lit up with playfulness.
“Who are you calling evil and mistress?” Polly glared at her and tried to fight Katherine’s words. “She is the mistress. Hudson has been in love with Emely his whole life, and she came in between them.”
Cherise couldn’t help but laugh at Polly’s stupidity.
“Why are you laughing? You are just a lowly woman already discarded by my brother,” she said haughtily.
Cherise clicked her tongue and pointed out lazily. “If I’m not wrong, I was the lawful wife of your brother. We had the marriage certificate to prove it. So I’m asking you now… Who was the real mistress? Who was the one who got pregnant with someone else’s husband’s baby?”
Polly realized her mistake and blushed with embarrassment and anger, as did Emely. There were many staff around, including the manager of the Angelworld Jewelry, and now everyone would think she was really a mistress!
Hudson frowned as he heard all the things being said between the three women. It wasn’t the case at all, and he wanted to stop them from saying anything anymore, but his mother beat him to it.
“No matter what, you are a murderer,” his mother said loudly to ensure everyone heard it. “You killed her unborn baby because you were jealous.”
“Is that so?” Katherine asked, still with that seductive playfulness of hers.
“What do you mean by that?” Dahlia looked at Katherine up and down with contempt. “You think Emely caused herself to have a miscarriage? You are the evil one to think that way.”
“Just saying.” Katherine shrugged, but her playful eyes flitted to Emely, and Emely broke into a col
Did she know? Did Cherise know?
She gave Hudson a quick glance and saw him frowning. Did he know? If he didn’t, would this slutty woman’s words make him think about it and investigate her?
“Stop saying such nonsense without any ground, or we’ll sue you,” Dahlia said with a scornful glare, making Emely let out at secret breath of relief. She had Dahlia and Polly on her side and could always use Luis’s promise to manipulate Hudson.
“For your information, my brother has proposed to Emely, and they will be engaged soon,” Polly added, wanting to hurt
Cherise with her words.
“He can marry her or even you or your mother, for all I care,” Cherise smirked. She really didn’t care anymore. Her life was much better now without having to be near them, and she still had plans to take revenge on them; the thought made her

smile widen even more.
“It is a great move indeed for my son to divorce you,” Dahlia scoffed. “Who would want a granddaughter with no manners like you who said such a diabolical thing like that.”
“I’m the one who divorced him, not the other way round,” Cherise reminded them.
“Hudson, aren’t you going to say anything?” His mom turned to him, seeing him stay quiet while his ex–wife said shameless, things.
Hudson’s lips thinned out. It was indeed Cherise who brought up the divorce first, what could he say about it? He couldn’t deny it.
As for her killing the baby… He felt Emely might have indeed provoked her first, as Cherise was also injured, and her injury couldn’t be done by herself, and she might have just defended herself by shoving Emely away.
Seeing his son zipping his mouth up, Dahlia felt exasperated, especially since Cherise didn’t look like she was living as poorly as she had expected.
“Who are you anyway? Are you friends with her?” she asked Katherine while pointing her finger at Cherise. Exasperated at Cherise’s lack of hurt expression, she tried to attack from another angle.
*I am,” Katherine flipped her hair and smiled again. “And proud to be one of them.”
“Of course, you are proud to be one of her friends. You must be from the lowly class as hers as well,” Dahlia scoffed in disdain. “Look at her ordinary clothes and look at your slutty clothes. I’m sure you guys picked them up at some cheap
second–hand store. Birds of a feather.”
Cherise and Katherine looked at each other before bursting into laughter. Her clothes might seem ordinary, and Katherine’s might seem too S*xy for some, but they are of the highest quality.
Every piece of their clothing was tailor–made by Paula Laurent, their best friend and world–renowned designer. How could they be cheap?
If only these mother–daughter duo knew… how jealous would they be? And them knowing would be a face–slapping moment but since Paula wasn’t with them, they would just call Cherise and Katherine liars.
Hudson, on the other hand, didn’t think the same way as his mother.
The moment he saw Cherise and her friend, who he recognized as the one from the club that night, he was dazzled by her.
Cherise was not in her power suit today. She was wearing a mini white shirt–dress with a wide obi–like belt with suspenders, showing off her slender waist and knee–high boots that somehow gave a glimpse of her white and smooth thighs.
This made him want to take off her boots and run his hands and mouth from her ankles up to her thighs, and this thought
bothered him a lot.
He knew how hot his ex–wife was, but he shouldn’t still be lusting for her after their divorce!
With the way his lower b*dy was reacting, he had no choice but to sit on the couch, place any catalog across his lap, and flip through it to cover the tent in his pants and take his mind off her.
His mind was in a mess right now, and he couldn’t really concentrate on what to say – whether to defend his family or ex-

wife; he couldn’t think about it.
+the same wa
And just like Hudson, Emely felt the same way too. The moment she laid eyes on Cherise, even her friend who was so beautiful and seductive, she began to feel jealous and even threatened.
What if Cherise’s friend caught Hudson’s eye? She eyed Hudson, who had sat on the couch and looked bored as he flipped through one of the catalogs and breathed in relief. At least the seductive one didn’t catch his attention.
But she still couldn’t shake off the feeling of jealousy as she looked at Cherise. Why did she look happy? Shouldn’t she suffer after being abandoned by Hudson just like when Agatha forcefully asked her to break up with Luis and she had spent all the money given?
Why did she look even more stunning now? Her skin was still smooth, and her cheeks were rosy even though she didn’t wear any makeup except for the lipgloss on her lips. She looked healthier than the last time they met.
Did she really not feel any guilt for causing her miscarriage? Or did she really know something?
No, it couldn’t be; Emely denied it. Cherise was no one, and even Hudson and Luis, who were from the powerful Amery family, did not know anything.
“Well..” Katherine spoke, breaking her chain of thoughts. “You are all also birds of the same feather. Bullying a weak girl who just wanted to love her husband.”
“Who was bullying who?” Polly, being the usual bully, yelled at Katherine. “She’s just a lowly gold digger who wanted my brother’s wealth. She’s worse than a maid; of course, she needed to be treated like one.”
Emely, seeing a chance to sow discord between them, tugged at Polly’s dress lightly and whispered like a meek and understanding woman, “Forget it, Polly. She is obviously happy now. Maybe she’s found someone else.”
Being easily manipulated, Polly snorted and said to Cherise, “I knew it! You said Emely was a mistress? But I bet you are a mistress of a big–bellied man, as does your slutty friend.”
Katherine’s seductive laughter rang around the room like a siren song calling for her victims, and all the male staff blushed
because of it.
“I’d like to know if some big–bellied men can handle me,” she smiled, her eyes shining with teaseness.
“Hush,” Cherise slapped her best friend’s arm lightly but laughed with her. No one could handle Kather

“How did you get to this floor?” Dahlia suddenly realized how bizarre it was for these two lowly women to be here. She knew all those people who were allowed on this floor, and even the mistresses to the CEOS. If these two had managed to land on one of those big names, she would have heard about it.
“She must have seduced a staff member to reach this floor,” Polly said, pointing at Katherine.
“Poor women like you guys really have to resort to all means just to see beautiful and expensive stuff, huh?” Dahlia kept demeaning them.
“Is the stuff here really expensive?” Katherine asked with feigned innocence, which no one believed.
“Hah, like you didn’t know,” Dahlia snorted and insulted them. “You two would not even be able to afford the fruits or cakes they are serving us, much less the jewelry.”

“Yeah, even if you guys have become mistresses now, you still can’t afford anything here,” Polly nodded and agreed with her mom.
Suddenly, Dahlia pulled Emely close to her and started comparing her to Cherise. “Emely, even though she is not worthy of Hudson, she is still better than you. She has always been included in our social class because of her relationship with Luis last time and now Hudson, even if she’s from a middle–class family. She’s always been used to seeing and wearing expensive stuff.”
Cherise looked at Dahlia with amusement. What kind of comparison was that? She basically just insulted Hudson’s fiance straight to her face AND his face.
She looked at Emely, who was trying so hard to smile, but Cherise could see the way her jaw tightened and her fists clenched tightly together. It looked like she wouldn’t have a great future in the Amery household, either.
Next, Cherise moved her gaze to Hudson, wondering why he was keeping quiet when his mother was demeaning his fiance, but found he was looking at her instead,
Cherise rolled her eyes and sneered inwardly, thinking Hudson must be happy that his mom and sister kept insulting her and Katherine.
In truth, Hudson didn’t really care about what his mom said about Emely because it was the truth, but he was waiting to see how Cherise would fight back. He loved the fiery side of hers she showed during their last meeting.
“Manager!” his mom suddenly turned around to face the manager of the Angelworld Jewelry store, who had been silent. “Why aren’t you asking the security guards to throw these two women out? They are not supposed to be here! They might
steal the precious jewelry when you guys are not looking!”
