He Divorced Me for Better—Now No One Wants Him

On New Year's Day, Derek Mills—Leon Farley's childhood friend—got married for the third time. Amidst the clinking glasses and festive cheers, I overheard their conversation.

"Leon, listen to me. Men are like fine wine; we only get better with age. Why are you still wasting your time on Evelyn Henson? She's dead weight."

Derek leaned in, his voice dripping with sleazy confidence. "Look at me. My last wife owned a beauty salon. This one? An heiress from the capital circle, ten years younger than me. That's the trajectory, buddy. Always trade up."
