"Do you have a goddamn conscience? You actually had the nerve to cheat!"
"Do you deserve Letty? Do you deserve everything she went through all those years, standing by your side through every hardship?"
"I'm going to destroy you today!"
The woman at Lewis's side immediately stepped in front of him, shielding him with her body. "Who the hell do you think you are, putting your hands on my man?"
"Your man?" Althea let out a disbelieving laugh. "Sweetheart, let me spell it out for you. He's a married man. That makes you the other woman. The homewrecker. Have you got no shame at all?"
Yolanda McDaniel scoffed. "In love, the one who isn't loved is the real third wheel. Lewis and I are in love with each other. If anyone's the outsider, it's that old hag over there."
She turned her gaze toward me, her eyes dripping with smugness.
Althea seized a fistful of her hair without warning. "Your mother didn't teach you any manners, so I'll do it myself."
"Ahhh!"
