How My Ex Became My Next

“But Gilda, I heard that I’ve heard that you became the CEO of Glory Corporation. It’s really amazing. My husband Tanner got laid off during a mass layoff a while back. Do you think Tanner could work for Glory Corporation?”

Gilda didn’t answer her.

However, Britney didn’t feel embarrassed at all. “Tanner was a team leader before. I think he could even work for Glory Corporation as a manager.”

Marilyn’s face darkened at her remarks.

Gilda said, “What are you talking about? Tanner is a Harrington family member. It should be easy for Harrington Corporation to get him a job. My company is too small to hire a bigwig like that.”

Her speech sounded harsh.

Britney’s expression instantly changed after Gilda pointed out her weakness. She wouldn’t feel as ashamed if Tanner could work for Harrington Corporation.

Tanner wasn’t capable, so Jensen refused to let him work for the company.

Although Gilda’s comments were true, Britney found them offensive and said, “Gilda, don’t be so arrogant! All I ask is for you to give him a job. How can you turn me down? No wonder Jensen dumped you.”

“Britney!” Marilyn yelled sternly.

“Shut up. Stop messing around.” Marilyn thought that Britney was spoiled.

Britney was unwilling to give up. “Mom, I just want her to do me a favor. We are family, aren’t we?”

“How can you be so shameless?”

Britney’s expression darkened at Marilyn’s words. With a snort, she left in dejection.

Marilyn then hurriedly apologized, “Gilly, don’t take her words to heart.”

Gilda shook her head. “It’s okay, Marilyn!”

Britney didn’t matter to her.

“Marilyn, this gift is for you. I wish you happiness and longevity.” Gilda took out the gift box: she had brought and handed it to Marilyn, but Jensen grabbed it instead.

“What’s inside? Let me take a look.” Upon saying so, Jensen opened the box to reveal a green pearl necklace, which appeared to be extremely valuable.

“Gilda, you’re becoming more and more tasteful,” Jensen commented.

Gilda responded calmly, “I do have better taste than before.” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

This was a pun, and Jensen fully got it.

Marilyn grinned and said, “Thank you for your kindness, Gilly. You are such a sweet girl.”

“You are welcome. You’ve been taking good care of me over the past three years, and I am grateful for that. Everything is going well with me now. You don’t have to worry about me.”

“That’s great to hear!” Marilyn nodded and took her hand.

Britney was furious because Gilda, who had become wealthy and powerful, had rejected her in front of a large crowd, making her feel embarrassed.

But because of Gilda’s status, Britney didn’t dare to do anything to her but sulked in private.

“Aunt Britney…” Emily came over and said.

When Britney saw Emily, she said unfriendly, “What are you doing here? Leave me alone.”

However, Emily remained in place. She turned around and glanced at Gilda, who was in the hallway surrounded by people. Gilda didn’t have a say in the Harrington family in the past, and few of them took her seriously. None of the family members regarded Gilda as Jensen’s wife.
