?Chapter 126:


    She was well aware of Yvonne’s driving abilities; she had never been a skilled driver. Despite the long drive, Yvonne had made it here on her own.


    Rachel sensed that her friend was likely upset, and she knew it probably had something to do with Norton.


    “You must be starving. Let’s get some food,” Rachel suggested, sping Yvonne’s hand.


    They climbed into the car, with Yvonne at the driver’s seat. “How about we hit a club? It’s been too long,” she suggested.


    In their hometown, Norton had made sure Yvonne was cklisted from all the clubs. She was consistently denied entry every time she tried.


    Now, in Amberfield, Yvonne felt free to enjoy herself however she pleased.


    Clearly, she was in a foul mood and needed an outlet.


    Seeing this, Rachel agreed without hesitation. “Sure, I’m up for anything.”


    “Are you sure this won’t get in the way of your work?”


    “Don’t worry about it. We have apetition soon, but we’re mostly prepared. I can afford a few days to spend with you.”


    Yvonne’s face lit up with excitement. “Awesome! Tonight, we’re doing everything to the max, no holding back!”


    At that moment, Rachel pushed Brian’s cautionary words from her mind.


    Once they reached the club, Yvonne wasted no time, immediately starting to order drinks.


    However, her ability to handle alcohol was, frankly, quite average. She began to show signs of intoxication after only a couple of drinks.


    As the alcohol took effect, her pent-up frustrations poured out. “That damn Norton! He’s the reason I lost my job!”

    “Howe? Is it because of the incident with Jeffrey? Did I get you into trouble when I called?”


    Yvonne shook her head. “No, it has nothing to do with that.”


    “What is it, then? Did you two have a fight?”


    Yvonne shook her head again. “No, we didn’t fight, but there was some disagreement.”


    Rachel bristled with unease. “You’re not hurt, are you? Are you in pain anywhere? Do you feel unwell?”


    Yvonne let out a long sigh before finally telling Rachel everything.


    “Norton has been parading Shelly all around the city. He gives her all the resources at work, showers her with luxury jewelry… But when ites to me, he’s always so stingy. He even had my credit cards restricted! I got so mad that I found a random stranger—someone young and handsome—toe over to my ce. I had a n in mind—I was going to get under his skin and piss him off just as much as he did to me, you know? How was I supposed to know he woulde home at the most crucial time and ‘catch’ us? He was furious and nearly beat the poor guy half to death.”


    Rachel could easily guess what happened next. “So, he sabotaged your job?”


    Yvonne nodded. “That’s pretty much it.”


    She was furious. How could Norton go gallivanting around with another woman while she, his legitimate wife, stayed cooped up at home with nothing? Why did she have to endure such humiliation?
