Beyond the Divorce

Suddenly, a figure appeared before us, swift as lightning. Before we could understand what was going on, a crisp sound resounded in our ears.

The next moment, I saw Lauren holding her face. She shouted angrily, "What are you doing?"

I quickly grasped the situation and stepped forward, challenging the woman. "Who do you think you are? How dare you hit someone like this? Are you out of your mind?"

I glanced at Lauren's face, which was already swollen.

Lauren pushed me aside and stepped forward, glaring at the woman who stood with hands on her hips.

"What are you doing? How dare you slap me?" Lauren questioned angrily.

"What's wrong with you?" The woman retorted arrogantly.

She appeared to be around forty, and she had a plump figure. The once stylish dress now looked like a lifebuoy on her, and despite her carefully done makeup, she couldn't hide the flaws on her face. She was clearly a troublemaker.

I looked at the woman. My patience was wearing thin. "Why are you causing a scene here for no reason?"

"Why don't you mind your own business? You're no good either, and you two are a pair of trashy women!" She glared at me as she said those disrespectful words.

I was taken aback by her audacity. Was this woman insane? Who did she think she was, insulting people like that?

"What are you staring at? I'm talking about you two. You've come here just to show off and seduce men. You're very bold." She continued with her twisted logic, glaring at both me and Lauren. "Why don't you get lost? How dare you try to seduce someone after being tossed aside. You really think you're something, huh? If I were you, I'd drown myself to death already. You're disgusting."

She attacked Lauren's weak spot directly, which showed that she was familiar with Lauren.

Lauren's face was still red from being slapped, and her lips trembled slightly.

I stepped forward, glaring at the woman. "What did you just say?"

As the woman was about to say something, Lauren pulled me back and stood in front of me. "What I do is none of your business. Even if I'm nothing, you're not good enough to challenge me! Who the hell do you think you are?"

I noticed Liora standing beside the woman. She was playing with the wine glass in her hand, observing us with a hint of a smile in her eyes.

The woman took a step forward.

"None of my business? You just tried

to seduce my husband a moment ago, and now you're trying to defend yourself. Do you think I'm dead or something?"

Her words echoed in my mind. A moment ago?

"You look slutty and cheap. I don't care if you seduce someone else, but you can forget about trying to seduce my husband!." The woman shouted at Lauren like a crazy dog.

I observed the unfolding scene, and saw Vicky raising her eyebrow and smirking. She seemed to be enjoying the situation.

It was clear that she had something to do with this incident.

As more people gathered around us, pointing and whispering, the situation became worse for Lauren. The wounds in her heart had not yet healed, and a humiliating scene like this would make it worse.

Suddenly, the man who had been chatting with Lauren squeezed through the crowd, shouting, "Evelyn, what are you doing?"Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Lauren looked at the man, and her lips trembled slightly. She asked, "Philip, is this your wife?"

The man blushed, nodding apologetically. "I'm really sorry, Ms. Lauren. She doesn't understand anything. Please ignore her."

"How dare you say that to her, Philip? How dare you two flirt in front of me? I'm going to kill her!"

With that, she looked around her and swiftly snatched the wine glass in Liora's hand. It seemed she planned to splash the contents of the glass in Lauren's face.
