?Chapter 1433:


    Caitlin saw this as her chance. She swiftly retrieved her phone, her fingers hovering over yton’s number. As Caitlin was about to press the call button, the door creaked open, interrupting her.


    Caitlin quickly hid her phone behind her back, her eyes widening in surprise as she looked at the woman entering the room. She had met the woman before. It was none other than Beth, who had made things difficult for her at the party.


    Beth smirked, her eyes cold. “Tell me, how does it feel when flirting with someone else’s fiancé? Did you find any thrill in it?”


    Beth settled down, her eyes zing with unfiltered contempt and fury. Caitlin was taken aback. “What are you talking about?” she retorted, frowning. “I’d appreciate it if you’d watch your tone.”


    Beth remained calm, pointing at Caitlin’s hand behind her back, still clutching her phone. “If you’re so innocent, then why are you hiding your phone? Let me see if you were about to call yton.”


    Caitlin’s face paled. She couldn’t show Beth her phone because, just moments ago, she had indeed been about to call yton. It wasn’t like she had much choice. She had simply spotted yton’s name from her recent contacts. Kallie was out of the country, and if she contacted Kallie, Kallie might not be able toe to her aid. She knew bitterly that among Kallie’s household, Kallie was the only one who truly cared about her.


    Caitlin grasped that whoever wanted to talk to her today wielded some influence, and among her acquaintances, only Kallie and yton would have the clout to deal with the situation. Thus, after a quick mental calction of her limited options, she opted to reach out to yton.


    Caitlin’s hesitation and the flicker of unease in her eyes ignited Beth’s fury. “What’s the matter?” Beth sneered. “Scared now?”


    Beth’s words grew sharper and more cutting. “You dared to flirt with my man with your underhanded tricks but are too cowardly to admit it?” Beth rose from the sofa and stalked toward Caitlin, her movements a study in controlled fury. Though she attempted to maintain a facade ofposure, the icy rage in her eyes betrayed her inner turmoil.


    Beth reached out and lightly patted Caitlin’s cheek, her touch condescending. “I’ve seen your type before,” she purred, her voiceced with mockery. “You think you can…


    “Bat your eyshes and sleep your way to a better life. I loathe women like you, but sadly, the world is full of shameless hussies like you. Don’t even bother denying it. It’ll only make me despise you more.”


    Beth’s cutting words hit Caitlin like a p, making her chest tighten with frustration.

    Caitlin’s teeth sank into her lower lip as she forced herself to hold back the lump in her throat. Her voice was a mix of humiliation and defiance as she shot back, “Mr. Morgan and I are not what you think. If you don’t believe me, call him here. We’ll clear this up right now, face-to-face.”


    Beth’s gaze turned to ice, amusement flickering in her expression like Caitlin had just told the most ridiculous joke in the world.


    Without a second of hesitation, Beth’s hand swung through the air andnded a vicious p across Caitlin’s cheek.


    A sharp sting exploded across Caitlin’s face, her ears ringing as she stumbled back, barely catching herself.
