Chapter 10 Hayley and the others were astonished. They couldn’t believe that Wyatt had so many invitations. Moreover, he casually discarded the invitations, which they regarded as a symbol of eliteness, as if they were garbage. “Quit the act. These invitations must be fake.” Lucy broke the silence. William nodded in agreement. “Invitations from the Moores‘ are precious. Even the wealthiest individuals in Yonada can only obtain up to five invitations. It’s impossible to have this many.” Lucy sneered. “You went to the extent of making fake invitations just to flaunt them in front of us. What? Are you hoping to inflate your worth and make Hayley regret her decision? Wyatt smiled. He was amused by their rich imagination. Meanwhile, Hayley’s attention was fixed on Ann. She was simply too dazzling. Regardless of appearance, figure, or temperament, she was nothing less than Hayley. In fact, she seemed even more outstanding than Hayley. Hayley had always been confident with her looks. Online forums even rated her as one of the top 4 beauties in Yonada. She found it hard to believe that another woman could rival her. But now, she had finally encountered someone who outshone her. For the first time, she felt defeated. It was even more ironic that this woman happened to be Wyatt’s companion.

She smiled gracefully, exuding ant “Hello, I’m Hayley Lawson,” Hayley responded and shook hands with Ann. Ann’s presence exuded such power that it made Hayley feel inferior. William couldn’t take his eyes off Ann. He had never seen such a captivating woman. Every smile and frown she made carried an irresistible charm. He struggled to comprehend why such a goddess would be with a loser like Wyatt. It was like a tale of beauty and the beast. “Ms. Annette, what’s your relationship with Wyatt?” Hayley asked, her tone cold. “We’re…” Ann took a step back to stand beside Wyatt and held his arm intimately. “We’re really good friends.” Her emphasis on ‘really good‘ sparked their imaginations. Hayley felt unpleasant with this information and William seemed to have it even worse. Unable to contain Chapter 10 Hayley and the others were astonished.

Hayley felt unpleasant with this information and William seemed to have it even worse. Unable to contain himself, William interjected, “Ma Annette, you may not be aware of Wyatt’s background. Don’t be fooled by him “He’s merely a casual worker in Hayley Pharmaceuticals, not even an official employen. At this age, he has no accomplishments and his savings are probably less than ten thousand dollars. He’s essentially a person of low status.” “Oh, what about it?” Annette turned her body slightly and got closer to Wyatt. Seeing that she didn’t listen, William frowned. “Ms. Annette, it seems to me that you also come from a privileged background. You must know the nature of people like Wyatt. “They lack education and have poor manners. He’s with you solely for financial gain and physical intimacy. he said earnestly, hoping to wake Ann up. “Financial gain and physical intimacy… Ann hummed, her demeanor released an alluring aura. “I can’t wait to see,” she added. William seethed with anger. He couldn’t believe that such a beautiful woman could be so love sick. It would make sense if she was with a good man, but Wyatt was good for nothing. *Ms. Annette, he might’ve cast a spell on you…” William remarked aggravatedly Ann chuckled and then gave William a cold glance. “Even if he casted a spell on me, it has nothing to do with you. You have been slandering Wyatt all along. What are your intentions?” “I’m just looking out for you!” William lamented. “Shut it. My affairs are none of your concern. Stay away from me,” Ann said coldly. William was infuriated. He was frustrated that he couldn’t provoke any response out of her. He couldn’t believe Wyatt’s luck. Wyatt once had Hayley, who was already a goddess, but now he managed to find someone even more charming William was consumed by his jealousy of Wyatt “Forget it, William. There’s no use in talking to someone who doesn’t listen. By the time she regrets, it’ll be too late.” Lucy said disdainfully. “Wyatt, you’ve know Ms. Annette for a long time?” Hayley suddenly questioned. “Yes, a long time.” Ann replied immediately. Hayley smiled bitterly and glared at Wyatt. “I didn’t expect you to be so two–faced, cozying up to another woman right after our divorce.” Wyatt’s face twisted with disdain. “Weren’t you cozying up with William before our divorce. Aren’t you worse than me?” he mocked sarcastically “That’s because William is so much better than you.” Why would I settle with someone as useless as you? William here is a pillar of success!” Wyatt sneered, William, a guy filled with carnal desires, was a pillar of success? Wasn’t it because she was drawn to his family background and resources? Who was she to act so superior? “Ms. Annette, while I may not possess your level of beauty and grace, I can confidently say that my taste in men is better than yours!” Hayley’s true feelings surfaced as she verbally attacked Ann. Ann was momentarily taken aback, but soon she started to laugh. Her laughter echoed as if she had just heard the funniest joke on earth. “Hayley, are you suggesting that Wyatt is inferior to William?” Hayley pointed at the smartly dressed William “Yes,” Hayley answered firmly “Alright then.” Ann’s demeanor shifted to a more serious tone as she continued, “Let’s make a bet. In one month’s time, we’ll see whose achievements are greater. We’ll determine whether Wyatt or William is better. What do you say?” “One month?” Hayley’s expression showed a trace of doubt. “Are you sure? Currently, William’s net worth is already over a billion. Wyatt still has nothing. He will never be able to catch up with William in his lifetime!” “What’s wrong? Are you scared?” “Scared? Why would I be? It’s obvious who’s going to win.” Hayley sneered. “What are the stakes?” “I’ll bet on Wyatt, and you on William. We’ll meet at the entrance of Tivoli Mansion after a month. If I lose. I’ll apologize to you with gifts, and vice versa.” “That’s not good enough.” Hayley shook her head disapprovingly. “There shouldn’t only be gifts and apologies. You should also admit that you’re a homewrecking mistress who seduced someone’s husband. Wyatt frowned. He only met Ann after his divorce. Even if they got together, she couldn’t be considered a mistress. To their surprise, Ann readily promised, “No problem.” “However, if you lose, you’ll have to admit that you’re a shameless adulterer who cheated during your marriage,” Ann retorted with her eyes squinted. “Deal!” “It’s settled then,” Hayley said through gritted teeth. Ann was filled with anticipation! “We shall see after thirty days!”
