Everyone looked from me to Ss in astonishment. A murmur went through the crowd.]


    “Didn’t Ss used to worship Dr. Martin like she was the sun and the moon? Why is he marrying Reba now?“[]


    “Are you blind? He saw through her! Would you marry a selfish, domineering bitch like that?“]


    “Exactly! Didn’t you see how she had him on a leash before? He wasn’t even allowed to have a fly buzz around him if it was


    female.”

    Just then, a heavyset woman lunged forward, grabbed my hair, and mmed my head down, punching the back of my skull twice.


    You poisonous witch! So my niece and the scientist were truly in love! It was you, out of jealousy, who sent her away her innocence destroyed!“]]


    The other women from the vige immediately surrounded me, kicking and punching.]


    and got


    “Don’t think you can just bully our Reba because she’s an orphan! We’re her family, and today we’re going to beat you to death to get justice for her!“]


    Fists and palms rained down on me. Someone kicked me in the stomach, and I fell to the ground.]


    Someone straddled me, grabbing my hair and pping my face repeatedly. Someone else started tearing at my clothes.]


    “You had men vite Reba, didn’t you? Today, we’re going to strip you naked and let you see how it feels!“]


    With a loud rip, my dress was torn, and a cold chill ran over my body.[]


    Countless hands groped and pinched me. Someone started trying to pull off my underwear. I curled my legs screaming.


    “I didn’t hire anyone! It wasn’t me.!”


    “Ss, help me!“]


    Just then, I heard a frantic, crying voice nearby.[]


    “Stop hitting Charlotte! She’s my benefactor!“]]


    “I don’t me her! Whatever she does to me, I deserve it.”


    up tight,


    “Reba, get out of the way! Today we have to <b>get </b>revenge for you, and see who dares to bully you ever again!“[]


    <b>I </b>heard a cry of pain. Through a <b>gap </b>in the legs surrounding me<b>, </b><b>I </b>saw Reba fall to <b>the </b>ground, clutching her stomach in agony.


    Ss cried out and scooped her up into his arms.]


    “Reba, what’s wrong<b>?</b><b>” </b>


    “Hang on, we’re going to the hospital right now!“]]


    Ss raced towards the hospital with Reba in his arms, never once looking back at me.[]


    He left me to be humiliated and beaten by this mob.]


    Finally, the institute director arrived with security, and the crowd dispersed.]]


    And I justy there, like a corpse, staring nkly up at the ceiling.[]


    A message from Ss came through. It was a picture of the signed divorce agreement.[]


    “Charlotte, I promised Reba I would marry her, and a man must keep his word.“]


    “The papers are signed. I hope in the future you’ll learn not to be so impulsive. If you can change your attitude, you can still be my assistant and continue to live at the house.“[]


    I staggered to my feet and started walking, ling hysterically. So, he knew a man had to keep his word? Then what about all


    the vows he’d made to me? Were they just bullshit?


    Just then, my phone rang urgently. It was the private investigator. His voice was frantic.[]


    “Ms. Martin, in the course of the investigation, we’ve uncovered a shocking secret–Reba Brown is a premeditated fraud.“]
