"Aren''t Mr. Bet Thompson and Ms. Jones newlyweds? How could he be
entangled with another woman so soon after getting married? You see, this is what happens when you marry someone from such a humble background. She can''t even keep her own husband in line."
Mrs. Walker said with unconcealed glee.
"What are you still standing there for? Get in there and see what''s happening," Emma snapped at Yvonne, her face flushed with anger.
Yvonne was speechless.
"What are you all crowded around here for?" Just as Emma finished shouting, a deep, slightly maic voice sounded from behind the group.
Everyone turned instinctively to see Bet standing behind them, a look of confusion on his face.
"Mom, what did you want Yvonne to see? Who''s in there?"
“Bet, what are you doing here?" Ynda looked as if she''d seen a ghost. Wasn''t he supposed to be in the room, tangled up with that Mignon woman? Who on earth was in there then?
Betpletely ignored Ynda, striding forward to stand directly in front of Yvonne. He casually wrapped an arm around her slender waist.
“I just stepped out to take a call. Why is everyone up here?"
"It seems like someone is having an... improper rtionship in that room," Yvonne whispered back.
Bet raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
Seeing her son standing there perfectly fine, Emma finally breathed a sigh of relief. She turned and red at Cindy.
"Isn''t my son standing right here? What nonsense were you spouting!"
"I... I never said it was Mr. Bet Thompson," Cindy muttered under her breath. "Don''t tell me it''s Noah!" Dana felt a wave of dizziness and nearly copsed.
Upon hearing that, Karina reacted like a cat with its fur on end, charging headfirst toward the room.
"Noah! How dare you cheat on me! How could you do this to me and our child!" Karina shrieked.
Dana reached out to stop her, but it was toote.
"Karina, you fool!" Dana clutched her chest, feeling a sharp pain. If it really was Noah in there, they should be trying to hide it, not have Karma burst in and make a spectacle for everyone to watch.
What a disgrace to the family. How did they end up with such a stupid daughter-in-w? At that moment, Dana wished she could just p Karina into oblivion.
Just moments ago, when everyone suspected it was Bet, even young Yvonne had kept herposure. It was as if Karina had learned nothing from all her years.
By now, Karina had already stormed into the room.
The ckout curtains weren''t fully drawn, leaving the room dim. The air was thick with a decadent scent that made one instinctively wrinkle their nose.
A man was hastily pulling on his clothes by the bed, while a woman sat on it, wrapped in a nket, sobbing as if she had been terribly wronged and bullied.
Without getting a clear look, Karina lunged at the man, raising her hand to p him. But he caught her arm and threw her aside.
"Noah, you cheating scumbag, how dare youy a hand on me!" Karina screamed as she fell to the floor.
At that moment, Emma also walked
into the room. She went straight to the window and yanked open the
dusteins: open the
3. Sunlight flooded in
instantly, leaving no one inside with anywhere to hide.
Mignon was still huddled on the bed, curled up and crying.
Eden stood beside the bed, his expression as dark as a thundercloud.
"Eden, what are you doing here!" Mrs. Walker and Ynda, who had followed to watch the drama unfold, were shocked to find that the man in the room was neither Bet nor Noah, but Eden.
