Chapter 145
The security guards quickly stepped in to separate them, but they couldn’t put out Rhea’s fiery rage.
Fuming. Rhea pointed at Sheila, yelling, “You ungrateful linte bitch! After everything I’ve done for you, you go after my man too! How could you
do this to me!”
Sheila, still covering her face, could no longer hold it in. I may have wronged a lot of people, but not you. Don’t forget, it was you who told me to get close to him in the first place.
“You were afraid of losing to Sylvia, so you dragged me into it. I was just seventeen, and you yourself sent me to his room?
“Now that you know we’ve crossed the line, you can’t take it, huh?” Sheila laughed bitterly, her face a grotesque mix of tears and blood, making her
look almost monstrous
“Are you really that dumb? He’s a man. When a young, beautiful girl throws herself at him, do you really think he’s going to resist You pushed me into this, so you should’ve expected it!
“Now that he’s divorced from Sylvia, you think you have a chance again, and you’re trying to throw me out of the houser Why! Just because you slept with Dexter!
“Does that give you the right to throw me out! You’re not even his wife! So what makes you so special! When I slept with him. I was still a virgin. And you? What were you?”
I was shocked.
Holly, who had been holding my arm, tightened her grip in disbelief. It was obvious she was equally stunned by the scene unfolding before us.
I had never imagined that Rhea knew about Shella and Dexter’s affair. It seemed like Rhea had orchestrated everything from the start
She had pushed her own sister Sheila toward Dexter, all while trying to secure her own place in his life, and now, sering that things had gone wrong, she was lashing out.
Sheila let out a triumphant laugh. “You’re finished! I’ve already called the cops! You’ve stabbed him–that’s attempted murder! Get ready to go to prison
That explained everything. I lowered my head and pieced it all together. It seemed that Rhea had discovered Dexter and Sheila were still involved. and in a fit of rage, they’d fought.
In the heat of the moment, Rhea must ve accidentally injured Dexter, which led to the scene I was seeing now.
I couldn’t help but feel a strange sense of satisfaction. I thought. A man who plays with women like this deserves to get caught in his own mess?
Outside, the sound of sirens grew louder as Rhea was taken away. Left behind was a heartbroken Alton, desperately clinging to Rhea’s hand, crying as he begged her not to leave. Watching the child break down was a punch to the gut.
I couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sympathy. Even though Aliory wasn’t her biological son, Rhea had truly cared for him. If she hadn’t, there was no way he would have been so upset at the thought of losing her,
As Rhea was hauled away, Alton turned on Sheila, hitting her whale crying. “Give me my mom back! Give her back!”
Sheila shoved him aside, her voice dripping with venom. “She’s not your mother, you idiot! You’re just the illegitimate child no one wants! Do you even understand that?”
She suddenly looked up, and our eyes met. For a moment, neither of us moved.
After a long pause, Sheila averted her gaze, leaving
aving Alton to cry and flail around at her feet.
I watched them for a moment before turning to Holly. “Let’s go. It’s time to head back.”
On the way home, Holly sighed deeply. “I wonder if Dexter will rally die. If he does, it might make things simpler.”
I shrugged. “Trouble always lingers. I don’t think he’ll be leaving any time soon.
Sure enough, the next day, news about Dexter’s sordid affair with the two sisters spread like wildfire throughout the city. His miraculous survival was also widely reported.
I glanced at the headline and shook my head with mild regret. “What a waste”
