The Genius Ex-Wife’s Revenge Portfolio novel Chapter 553

“Of course it’s true,” Rachel said, sounding like she was announcing the winner of a reality show. “Mr. Wade is at our house right now. He’s come to take Jessa back to the Capital.”

Jessa handed Moss' shiny black card to the sales associate. “Go ahead, swipe it.”

The associate’s eyes lit up when she saw the gold emblem on the back. “Wait… is this Mr. Wade’s card? Ms. Irvine, you really are his daughter!”

“The billionaire’s daughter is shopping in our store! I need a photo for social media. I’ll be bragging about this forever.”

Jessa soaked up every word. She’d always loved attention, and right now, with everyone looking at her like she’d hung the moon, she felt on top of the world.

Then Maureen called out, “Ella? What are you doing here?”

Jessa turned around and saw Ella standing by the door, Lilly by her side. Ella’s clear eyes were locked on Jessa, calm but sharp.

This made Jessa feel even smugger. She flashed a smile. “My dad gave me a card last night and told me to treat myself. Since we go way back, and now that I’m officially the billionaire’s daughter, why don’t you pick something? I’ll get it for you. How’s that sound?”

Maureen laughed. “Jessa, you’re still as generous as ever.”

Jessa shrugged. “Obviously. Think of it as giving a handout to someone in need.”

Rachel shot Jessa a look. “Come on, don’t say that. You’ll hurt Ella’s feelings.”

Then she turned to Ella. “You know, life is funny. You work so hard, right? Harvard genius, Doctor E, all that… but what does it matter? Jessa is the billionaire’s daughter. No matter how smart you are, no matter what title you have, you’ll still end up working for her. Some people are just born lucky, and the rest of us… well, we have to accept it.”

Rachel’s words dripped with fake sympathy, but the digs were obvious.
