The Retribution of the Ex-Wife

When Felicity arrived at the café where she and her long-time friend had agreed to meet, she sported a high ponytail, wore a maxi dress, and exuded an air of refined sophistication. The café wasn't bustling in the afternoon and had a relaxed atmosphere. As soon as her attention was brought to Mindy, she removed the one-of-a-kind Prada sunglasses she wore. Mindy had found a comfortable seat next to the window. The woman grinned and waved at Mindy when she first spotted her.

"It has been quite some time, Felicity. How are things going for you?" When Mindy was questioned, The woman went home from her trip to Paris, where she met her future French husband and now leads a lavish lifestyle.

"What do you think? I am now Gideon's future wife and Landon Baker's mistress." She scowled at him. Mindy's irises became even larger, and she laughed out loud.

"You are such a beautiful example of a white lotus! As a side note, I've heard that Gideon and Addison recently tied the knot. Would you mind explaining what brought up that result? Did the plan we had in the past not work?" Mindy inquired as she took a gulp of her latte simultaneously.

"I have no idea how that could have occurred on earth either. When planning my abortion, I envisioned that Gideon would propose to Addison, and then they would get married. How could they take something that rightfully ought to be mine!" To illustrate her point, Felicity clicked her tongue in displeasure as she spoke.

In the past, Felicity and Mindy hatched a plot to tear Gideon and Addison apart. The argument between Mindy and Gideon is a part of Felicity and Mindy's plan to get Mindy to flirt with Gideon. Who would have thought that your ex-lover would become a billionaire, not to mention that he is smoking hot! Mindy made an exclamation.

Felicity's irritation caused her to roll her eyes, and she spat, "Addison stole him again, and that bitch always loves to steal what should be mine."

"Oh, you're the one who needs to be the one to apologize, aren't you? You did a terrible thing to her family, girl. You are one nasty piece of work!" Mindy made a joke, but it seemed as though Felicity was hurt by it since she stared at Mindy.

Mindy experienced restlessness, and after seeing Felicity's response, she shifted the subject. "So, what are your plans as of right now?"

Felicity pressed her lips together and smiled seductively as she said, "Of course, I'll fetch Gideon Harris."

On the other hand, Mindy empathized with Addison because she deeply regretted the things she had done in the past that she knew would hurt both of them. However, considering that Felicity would be fixated on making Addison's life a living hell, Addison ought to keep her distance from Felicity as soon as it is physically possible to do so. She was planning to marry her boyfriend, and she felt a deep love for him. Mindy held out hope that Felicity would eventually come to regret what she was doing and decide to stop ruining people's lives for her own greed in the future.

Felicity received a text message from Landon Baker while returning to her house. The man advised the woman to leave early because he would make a square meal for them at home. Felicity made a frowning face since she had been looking forward to hearing from Gideon, but after that night, he never contacted her again.

"How kind of you, Landon, but your work will be for naught as soon as I finally get a hold of Gideon and take control of the situation. You have been reduced to nothing more than a disposable piece of chess." She spoke out loud. Now that she had Landon Baker at her side, she was possibly leading a sumptuous lifestyle. On the other hand, Felicity desired more. She longed to be in Addison's position—to marry Gideon and become Mrs. Smith—and to carry his kid.

Landon Baker is not sufficient to sate her ravenous appetite for wealth. In point of fact, he was significantly older than she. She yearned for a companion who possessed an elegant manner and a history that was respected to be by her side.

For the time being, Felicity was forced to rely on Landon's wealth to maintain her life and continue hatching her devious plans. Then, when she was finished with him, she would discard him as if he were an insignificant thing.

When the lights in the mansion were turned off, a furrow appeared on Felicity's forehead, indicating that she had been traveling for a few minutes.

I really felt like having a relaxing bubble bath with my champagne tonight. But at this point, I had no choice but to play along with this old man's performance. As Felicity followed the fairy lights strewn across the floor, she had this notion.

When Felicity finally became aware of what Landon Baker had in mind, she was initially taken aback briefly. A table with scrumptious food and a bucket of red wine was in the middle of the room, and the floor was covered with red roses. The sight of the fairy lights arranged in the shape of a heart, with Landon Baker at the center of the arrangement, drew Felicity's attention.

She did it subtly, but when Landon Baker took Felicity's right hand and guided her in the middle, she clenched her hand. "Felicity, will you marry me?" was posed after Landon Baker got down on one knee before her, removed a box from his pocket, and opened it.

Felicity was in a trance, as evidenced by her trembling lips and perspiring forehead. How frustrating the circumstance was for her to deal with. If she accepted his offer, she would no longer be able to hold Gideon in the palms of her hands. Felicity never, in her wildest dreams, anticipated that she would one day be married to her rotten Uncle.

Felicity mumbled, "I-I'm sorry, Landon," as her eyes were moistened with tears she had pretended to shed. Please give me some room; we recently experienced the loss of a child, and I am still grieving... As Felicity watched Landon's reply, she wiped her tears away and continued to protect him. A frown formed on Landon's face, and he enquired, "I take it I wasn't successful the second time around?"

His speech hinted at suffering, but Felicity did not notice it. Instead, she desired to sever ties with him since she felt he was too tenacious in their relationship. After Landon's divorce, he proposed to her, but she turned him down. Now, Landon is making another proposal to her.

"This elderly gentleman is far too tenacious. You would not be living alone in that lonely home if it weren't for the money. The inside of Addison's head filled with spittle.

In the meantime, when afternoon arrived, Chiara made her way to Davis Inc. to meet a friend there. Her close friend Brenda is in charge of marketing management at the company. Chiara shared the news with her friends Addison and Gideon. At first, Addison was adamant that she would follow her, but Chiara flatly refused and informed her daughter that she should instead focus on taking care of her husband.

She could still remember how the staff greeted her because she was the wife of the CEO, but when she came inside, she noticed that some of the employees recognized her and greeted her. Some were new and didn't recognize her when she entered the room.

In the past, she served as Landon's secretary, and the two of them eventually had a romantic relationship that lasted until after they married and had Addison. Chiara pushed those unwelcome recollections out of her mind and asked the receptionist if she was looking for Brenda Cogan. Soon after, one of the workers informed her about Brenda's location.

Chiara took an elevator to the third story and arrived at her destination, the location of the Chief Operating Officer's office. She recognized the sound of a familiar voice as she walked by the entrance.

[What is the current status of things? Was everything proceeding according to plan?]

[Yes, Madam. I've already researched the Smiths to get some background information.]

Chiara, motivated by her natural inquisitiveness, peeked through the window. A huge smile spread when she saw the woman whose face she would never forget. When she responded, Felicity Mitchell had a grin and crossed her legs.

[It's for the best if you keep watching Gideon Harris. Find a means to get rid of his wife because I should be Gideon's.] [I should find a way to get rid of his wife.]

Chiara's palm began to perspire as she became increasingly flustered. Felicity was a terrible woman. Previously, she had a destructive effect on her family; now, she desired to separate Gideon from his daughter.

"Addison ought to be aware of this!" Chiara was about to depart when the door suddenly swung open, which caused her to pause before continuing.

"Oh, it's been so long since we last saw each other, Madam. What exactly are you doing in this room?" When Chiara turned around and heard Felicity's voice coming from behind, she immediately stopped. Chiara gave Felicity a sidelong glance and pretended she hadn't heard anything, but the news of Felicity's intention sent a chill down her spine.

Chiara murmured to Felicity while giving her a hesitant smile, "It's been a long."

Felicity understood that Chiara had listened in on everything based on the actions that Chiara had taken. If Chiara were to tell Addison about her plans, those efforts would not be successful, and Chiara would find herself back on the carpets. Therefore, Felicity devised a nefarious plan to end Chiara's life and end her existence. If she were to let go of the woman, it would impede her ability to carry out her intentions. As a result, Chiara passes away.

After a brief pause, Felicity broke into a bright smile and added, "Do you fancy having a cup of coffee with me? I can still recall how much the Coffee Madam enjoys."

At first, Chiara was hesitant, but she knew that if she declined Felicity's invitation, Felicity would believe that she was the one who invited her. She had no other option but to comply to be able to escape and warn Addison about what Felicity had in store for her.

As soon as Chiara stormed into Felicity's office, Felicity instructed her to wait on the couch and then produced some coffee for the two of them to drink together. On the other hand, Felicity prepared a cup of coffee in complete silence while extracting a small tablet from her bag. After that, Felicity dissolved the little tablet in Chiara's cup of coffee while it maintained its original color by combining it with the beverage.

"By the way, What made you decide to come here?" While Felicity was stirring the coffee with the spoon, she asked the other person if she could entertain her.

Chiara, who was standing some distance away, cleared her throat before responding, "I'm meeting a friend from the Marketing Management department."

The frown lines appeared on Felicity's face. Fortunately, Landon was away on business then; otherwise, they would have encountered each other. When finished, she moved the object into a tray, stood in the gap between them, and handed the other person a cup of coffee.

Chiara appreciated your help by saying, "Thank you."

"You need to consume it quickly before it gets cold. You should realize that piping hot coffee has a flavor that is both sweet and salty," said Felicity as she took another drink of her coffee.

Chiara appeared to be staring at her beverage for no apparent reason. She took a moment to think about the coffee before returning it to its place on the table once she had finished drinking it. After a few seconds had passed, Chiara's eyes widened as her heart began to pound, which caused her to grip her chest and ask, "W-What did you do?!!" As she collapsed in front of Felicity, Chiara gulped for oxygen until her heart slowed and stopped pounding. Chiara clearly saw Felicity smiling as she passed away just before the light in her surroundings began to dim.

Felicity couldn't help but sneak a smug grin of satisfaction as she watched Chiara fail. She knocked over Chiara's cup of coffee in her workplace, where it landed on a plant, and then she added some hard water. After that, she quickly returned to the area where Chiara was waiting.

After some time had passed, Felicity got ready to act out her crying and shouting by preparing artificial tears and putting on her mask. "Anyone?! Please lend us a hand!"

After a few seconds, two security officials burst in and were taken aback when they found Felicity sobbing with another woman while holding her in her arms.

"What exactly took place, Miss?" As he carried Chiara's lifeless body, one of the security guards posed the question.

"I-I don't know, w-we are talking joyfully then, she just falls on the ground..." Felicity reacted with shaking lips, saying, "I-I don't know."

After Chiara had been placed on the stretcher, Felicity waited for the ambulance to arrive while seated nearby. Felicity glanced at the lifeless woman because she knew Chiara would not survive. The potassium content of the pills was dangerously high, and taking even one of them may result in a deadly heart attack.

'My darling Madam, you'll obstruct my goals. Consequently, I do not have any other option but to take your life. But there's no need to be concerned because you'll have discovered my little secret by the end. Because of this unfortunate circumstance, you could not tell your daughter; thus, be silent always and rest in peace.
