Chapter 416
Everett dashed into the coffee shop to find absolute mayhem. Selena was on the floor, her hair a mess, and beads of sweat dotted her forehead. A bright red handprint stood out on her pale cheek, showing just how hard she'd been hit.
She clutched her stomach, her lovely face twisted with pain, letting out soft, agonized moans. Ava crouched beside her, looking deeply worried and anxious. Meanwhile, Margot was being restrained by Bill and another bodyguard, one on each side, to stop her from
causing more harm. She was fuming, struggling, and cursing up a storm.
On his way over, Alex had filled Everett in on what happened. Bill said Margot had shown up just to stir things up, and Selena had agreed to have coffee with her. But it didn't take long for things to go south.
Margot lost her cool out of nowhere. She stood up, grabbed a steaming cup of coffee, and flung it at Selena, who managed to dodge it. Not wanting to escalate the fight, Selena turned to leave, but Margot wouldn't let it go. She followed Selena and delivered a sharp slap, sending Selena crashing into the corner of a table.
The shock and pain were so intense that Selena's vision went dark, and she crumpled to the ground. Everything happened so fast; it took a moment for everyone to snap out of it and jump in to get things under control.
As Everett approached with a serious look on his face, Selena looked up at him, her lips barely moving as she weakly whispered, "Everett..."

hold back any longer and jumped up, "You're the one with the nasty intentions. You came here talking trash, and when she didn't want to deal with you, you just wouldn't stop. We all saw you try to splash coffee on her. Do you think we're blind? And now you're trying to pin this on her!"
Turning to Everett, Ava said, "Sir, you know how much she loves her child. There's no way she'd hurt herself. This woman's beyond awful. Her health is already fragile, and getting pregnant again is a miracle. If anything goes wrong, what are we going to do..."
Her words, filled with emotion, brought tears to her eyes, making everyone around feel the weight of the moment.
"It wasn't me, it wasn't me... Everett, it really isn't my fault..." Margot was both furious and frantic, trying to defend herself, feeling more wronged than ever.
Yes, Selena's words had hit a nerve. She'd been so dismissive and scornful, saying Margot would never be Mrs. Bennett again. In a moment of anger, Margot had snapped.
But she wasn't reckless. No matterNôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
how daring, she wouldn't harm the child, especially after Everett's warnings Yet, with pregnancy being so delicate in the first trimester, any emotional turmoil could lead to a miscarriage, especially for someone like Selena, who already showed signs of complications.
Everett's intense gaze fell on Margot, scrutinizing her every move. Margot cried out desperately, "Everett, you know I'm not like that. I wouldn't even step on an ant, let alone hurt your child..."
