After hanging up, I saw Juliet and her group of bridesmaids heading toward me.
I was just about to hand her the necklace and try to calm her down.
But Juliet suddenly slapped me hard across the face.
"Cripple! How dare you seduce my husband?
"You thought you could hide here, but I still found you! Today, I'll make sure you understand the wrath of the richest man's wife!"
The sudden and vicious slap left me dizzy.
All eyes were now on me.
"So this is the mistress who seduced the richest man, Mr. Hayden? She looks decent, but who knew she'd be so shameless?"
"Some people seem decent on the outside but who knows what they're doing behind closed doors."
"Exactly, and she's spending money in a jewelry store. She must be an experienced swindler."
I paid no attention to the onlookers' comments and seriously explained to Juliet,
"You're Juliet, right? You've got it wrong. I'm not the mistress you're looking for."
Juliet scoffed and pulled out her phone, showing me a photo.
"Still trying to deny it? My husband never likes taking pictures. If you're not a mistress, why would he take a photo with you?
"What? You have the nerve to be a mistress but not to admit it?"
