This must be a misunderstanding; there’s no other woman here, and Hudson wouldn’t cheat! We just need to clear this up.
With that in mind, I composed myself and walked over to Joey, the leader of the group, with a smile.
But before I could say anything, Joey rushed forward and slapped me hard across the face.
“You filthy whore, I can’t believe I caught you here! Today, I’ll show you what it means to be the rightful wife.”
My face burned with pain. After all my years in the business world, enduring countless hardships, I had never been humiliated like this before – especially not by my future daughter-in-law.
I took a step back, eyeing this group of foul-mouthed people.
Leading them was Joey, and behind her was an older woman who must be her mother. There were also two younger women who looked vaguely familiar, but I couldn’t place where I had seen them before.
“I specifically chose today to show you low-class mistresses that you should never even think about taking my place!” Joey sneered. “Today is your unlucky day. I’m going to make an example out of you!”
She advanced on me again, ready to strike.
