Chapter 334
How My Ex Became My Next by Kirk Stanley ( Gilda Lynch )
Cheryl straightened up and headed backstage.
The business summit kicked off soon after, with the host confidently engaging the audience. He quickly got everyone excited.
âI believe we have the cream of the crop here in the business world. Letâs stick to tradition and pick someone random to share their management tips,â the host suggested.
Right after he spoke, Cheryl stepped out from backstage, shooting a dark look at Gilda.
Cheryl bad her plan all set. She approached a group of rich ladies, a smirk on her . âJust wait, the real show is about to
start.â
The ladies, confused by Cherylâs actions, cautioned, âMs. Baxter, donât end up tripping over your own schemes â
Cheryl arrogantly lifted her chin, ignoring their advice, intent on making Gilda look foolish.
However, at this time, the host turned his eyes to Gilda in the crowd.
The host then noticed Gilda in the crowd. âToday, weâre honored to have the President of Glory Corporation, Ms. Lynch, with us! Letâs invite Ms. Lynch to share her insights,â he proposed.
Gilda paused, taken aback.
Gilda thought to herself that Patrick hadnât mentioned this part. Why would the host suddenly ask her to share her insights?
Nearby, Patrick frowned and asked his assistant, âWhatâs this about?â
The assistant was just as baffled. âMr. Lynch, Iâm not sure. Iâll check it outâ¦â

Catching sight of Gilda, who appeared calm and even smiled subtly, Patrick decided, âLet it be.â
The host then , âA big round of applause for Ms. Gilda Lynch!â
The room erupted in applause, all eyes on Gilda.
Gilda maintained her composure, her gaze sweeping across the room and finally fixing on Cheryl.
They locked eyes, creating a tense moment.
The rich ladies at Cherylâs side began to feel unexpectedly anxious for her.
âMs. Baxter, your targeting is too obvious. Arenât you worried about the Lynch familyâs retaliation?â one whispered to Cheryl.
Unfazed, Cheryl coolly responded, âIf it comes to settling scores, itâll be after Gildaâs been embarrassed. Even if I go down, Iâm taking her with me.â

The ladies shook their heads. âGood luck then, Ms. Baxter.â
Cheryl remained silent, her eyes still fixed on Gilda, the tension thick in the air
Gilda, with a slight smile, made her way to the stage, all eyes following her
As she stepped onto the stage, the room quieted, everyone focused on her.
Gilda took the mic, starting simply. âHi, everyone. Iâm Gilda
Her introduction, straightforward and without pretense, made her immediately likable to most there.
âTo be honest, I consider myself more of a beginner in management. I donât have profound experiences to share â
