Chapter 31-40

Chapter 31 Benjamin was about to say something when Gladys beat him to it. “Oh, now you want to talk? What were you doing earlier on, cowering in the corner? It’s so embarrassing being your wife. I want a divorce!”

There was a crowd at The Gourmand’s entrance. However, none of them were interested in their family argument. Their minds were still on the Blithe King.

“The Blithe King’s succession ceremony is in five days.” “Oh, yes. I heard that it’ll be held at Cansington’s military region. Apparently, the ceremony will be open to the public, but only the most powerful and influential people will receive an invitation.”

“That’s what I heard too! Only the true upper-class families who are rich and powerful enough will be able to attend.” “Ah, I bet the only people who will get invited are the celebrities.” Everyone was busy talking about the Blithe King.

Not James though. He sat on a chair outside The Gourmand, smoking a cigarette.

To save her family, Gladys had embarrassed herself thoroughly. She even knelt to Belinda! After lashing out at her family, she calmed down a little.

“Gladys, is that you? You’re here too!” Benjamin and his family were waiting in line to enter The Gourmand when a voice rang out Gladys looked up. A pretty, well-kept woman approached, holding the arm of a man in a suit and tie. A young couple followed them.
