She Got A Better Man

Chapter 54

When Samson's call came through, Zach picked it up, "What's up?"

"Zach, I just dug up something. Elvira didn't just purchase a car yesterday; she also snapped up a house, and both transactions were under the name of this guy called Cole. Who exactly is Cole?"

Zach nearly lost it. He sharply rebuked Samson, "Who gave you the right to snoop on my wife's dealings? This is a private matter between us. If you're finding yourself with too much free time, I can arrange for Spike to book you a one-way ticket to Alider tonight!" Samson fell silent.

"Zach, my bad, I'll back off. From now on, even if Elvira decides to buy a spaceship for another man, I won't pry," Samson quickly said, hanging up the phone in haste. Zach was speechless.

Buying property and a vehicle for another man... Samson must be deliberately poking at my sore spot, he thought, touching the tie Elvira had bought him. 'Sure, she might be making significant purchases for another man, but she chooses to gift me a tie and cufflinks- personal, intimate items. So, I'm still the closest person in her life.

Driving back to the office, Zach battled mixed feelings. He trusted Elvira, yet couldn't shake off a sense of unease. Compelled by this, he dialed the number she had called from earlier-presumably Cole's.

Elvira, momentarily away to the restroom, left Cole to answer. "Hello, Elvira's currently unavailable. May I take a message?"

"Could you tell her to pick up some underwear for me on her way home tonight? Thanks," Zach said, hanging up before Cole could respond. He finally felt slightly better after making the call.

Cole was taken aback by the request. When Elvira returned, she found him holding the phone with a bewildered expression. "Who called? Why that look?"

"It was... well, your husband. He requested you buy him..."

"Buy what?" Elvira, drinking a glass of juice, asked in curiosity.

"Underwear," Cole replied, coughing slightly to hide his discomfort.

Elvira choked on her drink in surprise.

Rushing to help, Cole patted her back and offered her tissues. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine... He doesn't usually say things like that, really!" she quickly clarified, anxious not to let him think poorly of Zach.

"Oh, the client will be here soon," he said, his face returning to normal, though she sensed something was off.

Deciding it wasn't worth delving into Zach's peculiar request, she let the matter slide. 'Let him think what he wants,' she thought.

That evening, Elvira did as asked and bought Zach several pairs of underwear. Upon his return, she casually pointed them out, "I got you new ones. They're washed and drying on the balcony." Zach wrapped her in a hug, his laughter ringing softly, "Thanks, love."

Elvira was speechless.

She wondered what had gotten into him but decided not to press. The deed was already done.

She eyed the elegant bag he took home, curious about his purchase. "What's that?"

"Take a look, and why don't you open it? I'll just wash my hands and be right back," he said, giving her the bag before heading to the restroom. Elvira, walking to the couch, began to unpack the bag. The moment she saw the box's label, her face flushed red... it was a pack of condoms! xtra-large!

Holding the box, she was startled when Zach embraced her from behind. Biting her earlobe, he said, "Let's try them out."

That night, Elvira reluctantly became proficient in a task she hadn't anticipated learning.

The next morning, she surveyed the aftermath scattered around and noted only four condoms remained in the now- tattered box...

The Willis Group's 50th anniversary was an extravagant affair.

Karen had always spoiled Judy, investing over 20 million dollars in a film production company and a blockbuster movie to catapult her into stardom.

Judy's team had been busy crafting her public image at an early stage: old money, beauty icon, aspiring talent, and philanthropist. Following a miscarriage scandal, her team strategically leaked news of her engagement to a wealthy fiancé, fueling envy and admiration. Judy's portrayal of living the dream life quickly amassed her a significant following.

In contrast, Elvira, the Willis family's eldest daughter, remained relatively unknown until a recent scandal brought her under harsh public scrutiny.

In an effort to elevate their status, the Willis family spared no expense in booking the bottom four floors of a luxurious hotel for their anniversary celebration. The event attracted the elites of Jersten, including celebrities, social media influencers, and a significant number of journalists, making the venue dazzling.

To add to the festivities, the Willis and Kennedy families meticulously planned for Judy and Calvin to make a grand entrance together, laying the groundwork for the announcement of their engagement.

Emerging from a luxury car worth over two million dollars, Calvin was the epitome of chivalry as he escorted Judy. Clad in a bespoke gown from Vera Wang, her appearance in pure white symbolized purity and flawlessness, complemented by the Willis family's heirloom jewelry. Together, they epitomized a match made in heaven, eliciting waves of screams from the fans that had gathered.

Judy, with her gentle waves to the fans, embodied the essence of a sweet fairy, while Calvin remained attentively by her side, escorting her to the end of the red carpet.

Glancing back, Judy's brows furrowed slightly, prompting Calvin to inquire, "What are you looking at?"

"I'm looking for my sister. We can't reach her at home, and I don't know if she'll come today. I hope she does. I want to tell her myself that I don't blame her. I know she didn't mean to do it. Calvin, please, don't be mad at her, okay?" Her eyes welled up with tears, eliciting sympathy from those around her. "You're too kind. She's responsible for the child's death. I can't just let that go! If she comes today, I'll make sure she pays for it!" Calvin responded with anger, his gaze cooling.

He couldn't just let the matter of his child go unaddressed. 'Elvira has to pay for it, he thought.

"Please, don't be like this. Had I known, I wouldn't have asked Grandma to invite her. Can you just do this for me? Today's supposed to be our happy engagement announcement. Let's just fulfill my wish," Judy continued pleading for Elvira. +13

He sighed, a mix of resignation and care in his gesture as he gently squeezed her fingers. "Don't worry, I'll handle it. As long as she's willing to apologize, I won't embarrass her publicly."
