The Ex-Wife’s Billion Dollar Comeback Novel

---- Chapter 96: The Other Woman ~ Soraya ~ The second Rose labeled Soraya as a mistress, the woman who had just walked up to them glared at her. She rushed into the private room Soraya had earlier shared with Jacob, and upon seeing the senator, the same woman immediately slapped Soraya across the face! "So you are his mistress!" the woman said. "| always knew my husband was cheating on me with a younger woman. As it turns out, | was right!" "Shame on you!" the woman added. When Soraya turned to the woman, the sting still burned across her cheek.

She steadied herself and answered, 'Excuse me, Ma'am, but | am not your husband's mistress. He just happened to walk into my private room-" "Please, Honey. Forgive me," Mr. Grayson said. "| came here to break up with her. | will never see her again!" Hearing the senator's claims, Soraya was stupefied. 'What was he spouting? Why was he involving me in this?' Meanwhile, Rose gasped dramatically, her hand pressed to her lips. "Oh... oh my god. Now it all makes sense. So the man supporting you all this time is none other than Senator Thomas Grayson!" "| knew it.

You were always rotten on the inside, Soraya," Claire hissed. "You pretend to be pure, but you're nothing more than a parasite, feeding off other people's lives- probably living off the senator's money!" "Who is she? Tell me!" the woman with the senator begged Rose and Claire. Obviously, this was Mr. Grayson's wife. ---- "Please don't spout accusations without proof, Soraya warned. "| came here-" "I'm not asking you!" the woman screamed at Soraya. Soraya glared at Senator Grayson, but the latter did not care about her reputation. Instead, he tried to convince his wife to leave.

"Let's just go, Honey. Okay? | promise, | will never see this woman again," Mr. Grayson said, grabbing his wife's arm. While all of this was happening, Rose and Claire willingly gave Soraya's information. "Her name is Soraya Azar," Rose said. "She works at Aegis Core Systems," Claire added. Mrs. Grayson's eyes were red from anger. She barked at her husband, "Aegis Core Systems, huh? So that's why you went there earlier today. You didn't just want to do business, you wanted to see your mistress!" "And you, young lady-" the senator's wife pointed at Soraya, her voice breaking with rage.

"You will hear from me, and so will your boss. I'll make sure you lose your job for tearing into my marriage. Whatever money my husband has given you, I'll take it back, and you will pay twice over for the agony and heartbreak you've caused me and my family!" "Mrs. Grayson, if you will just listen to me, | am not your husband's mistress and | can-" "Enough! Stop denying it! My husband just confirmed it!" the senator's wife said. "You can't escape what you have done, and I'm coming after you!" The woman turned on her heel, fuming, and the senator chased after his wife. ---- "Oh my god, Soraya.

You are in deep trouble now," Claire remarked. "When Aunt Amanda and Uncle Cedric find out about your affair with the senator, they will finally see you for who you really are-" "It was your fault that the senator's wife accused me," Soraya turned to Rose, adding, "Specifically, Rose's words. | did nothing wrong. He simply walked into my private room!" "Oh, really," Rose reacted. She motioned to her table. "So you ate all that by yourself?" Rose did have a point. There were two sets of cutlery and dishes that only two or three people could eat. But!

That did not mean she was having dinner with the senator! "| was having dinner with someone else," Soraya said through gritted teeth. "Then where is this 'someone else?" Claire asked. "You know what? Never mind. | can see you've already decided on what happened here." She clutched her bag tightly, walking ahead. "I'll figure it out myself." "And also, the senator did not deny it. So, you must be his sugar baby," Rose said. "Can you imagine how Sage might feel if she ever found out that you've become a homewrecker?" Soraya stopped in her tracks.

She turned to Rose and shot back, "You are being a hypocrite, Rose. Me, a homewrecker? What do you think you are? You're the one who had an affair with Calum! You twisted my daughter's feelings, making her pick you instead of her own mother!" "If anything, you are the homewrecker, not me!" Soraya's jaw clenched as she warned. "You'd better watch your words, Rose, because | have proof that | am married to Calum. | can easily destroy your reputation by going public about how you ---- are... the other woman." "That's funny," Claire said, glaring at Soraya.

"You were never the woman in Calum's life. So how can Rose be the other woman? Admit it, you're fond of forcing your way into relationships, first, with Calum and now, with the Senator? Just so you could sustain the life you were used to being... Mrs. Montclair?" "Sustain the life of Mrs. Montclair?" Soraya shot back. "I don't need Calum's money or the Senator's to survive. I'm not like Rose." "What? What does that mean? | bet you really hate me," Rose said. "Admit it. And you're just itching to get back at me!" "Of course, | hate you, Rose.

| hate you for the pain you've caused me," Soraya confirmed. "And | do plan to get back, but not in the way you expect." After speaking her mind, Soraya turned to leave and headed toward the restaurant's exit. On her way, she passed a private room just as a young woman, looking visibly nervous, stepped out. This woman wore tight clothes, and she had a baby bump. With the way she was acting so agitated, Soraya could make out who she was... or at least, what she was.

Thus, Soraya spoke to the restaurant manager and asked to see the surveillance videos, but when she was denied access, she went straight to Jacob's car. Jacob immediately noticed her face. His eyes darkened, and his jaws clenched. "Who did that to you?" seek ~ Rose ~ Earlier at the restaurant. ---- After the confrontation with Soraya, Rose and Claire returned to the private room to plan. They hadn't expected to come across Soraya, let alone have a heated argument that they could use against her. "Did you get what she said?" Claire asked. Rose nodded and showed Claire her phone.

Because Soraya was so busy trying to fake her innocence to the senator's wife, she hadn't noticed how Rose had turned on her camera. Rose replayed everything, including their heated exchange. "This is perfect. Not only will Calum and Sage see Soraya for who she really is," Claire suggested, "but Aunt Amanda and Uncle Cedric might actually take your side this time, Rose." "| hope so," Rose said. "I certainly hope so." The next day, Rose visited Calum at his office. She showed him the video.
