“If Yohan uses this to blackmail me, he’s destroying our family and trying to become the mistress who takes my place!”
The woman was indignant and about to speak again, but Yohan pulled her back, tears streaming down his face.
“Veronica, please stop! William is right, I shouldn’t harbor immoral fantasies about you!”
“It was all my own choice. I love someone without expecting anything in return.”
The woman was almost crying. “Yohan, you’re too selfless. It’s not worth it for someone like Veronica.”
Only then did Veronica speak slowly, “William is right and he is my only husband. He was in the past, he is now and he will be forever.”
“Please leave. Stop spreading false accusations here.”
Her voice was firm. Yet I could sense her fingertips trembling slightly. She looked at Yohan with a hint of confusion.
My heart felt as if a needle had pricked it. Even though I’d already decided to leave, it still hurt.
Just then, the crystal chandelier overhead suddenly made a strange noise and crashed straight down toward us.
Screams erupted and I instinctively closed my eyes.
