Noemi went to a nearby restaurant to have lunch at noon. After ordering, she took a sip of water.
Suddenly, an unfriendly voice came from the side. “How could you do this to me? I gave birth to your
children and worked hard to support your family, but you raised a mistress with my money. How could
you be so shameless?”
Noemi looked over and saw a woman in a work suit angrily pointing at a couple of men and women
who were eating. The woman’s face was full of anger and despair.
The woman next to the man in fashionable clothes was not frightened at all. Instead, she sneered at
her original wife and said, “Look at yourself. You’re sallow and thin, and your eyes are dull. It’s
impossible for a man like you to like you.”
“You’ve gone too far!” The woman in the uniform was so angry that she trembled. She grabbed a dish
on the table and poured it on the fashionable woman’s head.
The woman screamed, and her face was full of vegetables and grease. She was so angry that she got
up and grabbed the woman in the uniform to fight with her. The fashionable woman was naturally no
match for the woman in the uniform. She shouted at the man, “Why are you still standing there? Why
don’t you help me?”
The man stood up and raised his hand to slap the woman in the uniform. The woman in the uniform
was supposed to have the upper hand, but she was knocked out by her husband’s mouth. “You hit me?
I’ll kill you!”
When she reacted, she reached out to grab the man’s face, and the man reached out to grab her hair
and had a few more mouths. How could the woman be a match for the man? She was quickly beaten
to the ground by the man. The woman next to her saw that the woman had no power to fight back, so
she arrogantly pulled the woman’s hair and slapped the woman’s face. She scolded her as she fanned.
Noemi, who was watching from the side, became angry and rushed over.
“What are you doing? Let go of me!” She reached out to pull the fashionable woman.
How could a fashionable woman be willing to listen to her advice? She opened her mouth and scolded,
“You little b*tch, are you full? How dare you meddle in other people’s business? Do you believe that I
will slap you to death?”
Noemi glared at him and said, “These days, how dare the mistress be so arrogant? Is there any justice
in this world?” As she spoke, she slapped her mouth. The fashionable woman did not expect that
Noemi would really hit her. She shouted like a pig being slaughtered, “Honey, why are you still standing
there? This bitch hit me. Beat her to death!”
Hearing this, the man sealed Noemi’s collar and punched her in the face. When the fist was about to
land on Noemi’s face, a figure flashed in front of her, and then a man’s groan came into her ears.
Before Noemi could understand what was going on, the man’s huge body had fallen out.
Noemi looked at the man who couldn’t get up from the ground and screamed in surprise. Then she
looked at Elliot and Deon who suddenly appeared in front of her. It took her a long time to react. “You…
you… why are you here?”
“Are you scared silly?” Elliot said with a playful smile, “It depends on your own strength. If I hadn’t been
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthere today, you would have been in danger, wouldn’t you?”
Noemi did not care about the shift in his mouth. She just stared at the man who was lying on the
ground and screaming. There was horror in her eyes. “You… where did you hurt him? How could he
scream so miserably?”
“It was just a coincidence that I kicked him in the waist,” Elliot replied indifferently.
“Did you break his waist?” Noemi’s eyes widened.
“This kind of heartless man should be punished. I don’t think he has a waist. How can he keep me as
his mistress?” Elliot sneered.
“Aren’t you worried?” Noemi was too angry just now, so she went out to help. Now when she saw the
man screaming on the ground, she realized that things were getting complicated. Elliot wouldn’t be put
in jail, would he? If she really did what she did today, she would lose more than she gained.
“What am I worried about?” Elliot asked.
“The police are looking for trouble with you?”
“Don’t worry. Someone will settle this trivial matter. Let’s go to another restaurant for dinner.” Seeing
that Noemi didn’t move, Elliot reached out and pulled her. “Let’s go.”
Noemi stumbled out of the restaurant dragged by Elliot and got in his car. She was still in a state of
shock. “Elliot, will you really get into trouble?”
“No,” Elliot replied.
“But I’m worried that I’ll be sent to jail for intentional injury.”
“Don’t worry, nothing will happen.” Elliot started the car. “But you, I’m telling you, don’t be so reckless
next time. If I’m not here today, you’ll be in trouble. If you’re disfigured, what should we do if we can’t
get married?”
Noemi smiled bitterly and said, “Anyway, I can’t get married. It’s not a big deal to be disfigured.”
“Why are you so pessimistic? I think you’re pretty good, aren’t you?” Elliot comforted her.
“Do you really think I’m good?”
“Of course, you are beautiful, talented, and independent. The most important thing is that you like to
pretend to be a woman now. You are not pretentious at all, and your character is also pleasing…” Elliot
suddenly stopped. He had never praised a woman like this. How could he say such praise so
smoothly? He was not awkward at all. He subconsciously looked at the rearview mirror and saw that
Noemi’s face was a little red.
He didn’t know why, but he suddenly said, “You look very good with your face blushing.”
After saying this, she realized that it was a little ambiguous, so she immediately explained, “I don’t
mean anything else. Please don’t mind me.”
Originally, Noemi was a little shy because of Elliot’s compliment. After listening to Elliot’s explanation,
she was in no mood at once.
After eating with Noemi, Elliot left. On the way back, he received a call from Walter. “It’s settled. I gave
him some money and promised him. He was sent to the hospital for treatment. Later, I went back to the
hospital because I had something to do. Guess what I saw?”
“Don’t be annoying! What did you find?”
“mistress and his wife are as good as a person. It’s so weird!”
“It’s indeed weird. Ask someone to keep an eye on it.” Elliot ordered. Walter replied, “There’s one more
thing to tell you. Recently, there are rumors of Celia and her daughter being harmed in the upper class
circle.”
“What kind of rumors are these?” Elliot was immediately interested.
“It’s said that Shannon was the mistress, while Celia was sinister and vicious. At this time, such a
rumor appeared. I suspect that someone deliberately let her out…”
“Even a fool would know that someone released him on purpose.” Elliot interrupted him.
“No, I haven’t finished my words yet. I suspect that this news was released by Rodney.”
“Is that so? Then there’ll be a good show soon.” Elliot laughed. “Since he’s lost, I’ll give him a hand.
You should take action as soon as possible. Have Mr. Moore’s wife, who doesn’t get along well with
Shannon, find Rachel and tell her about Shannon and Celia’s scandal.”
“I’ve asked someone to handle this matter. If my guess is right, Mrs. Moore should tell Rachel this news
soon.”
“Well done. Rachel likes Celia, doesn’t she? I just want to disgust that old woman to death!” Elliot
laughed happily.
Rodney went to visit Mel again. Mel’s attitude towards him had not changed much, and it was still
indifferent to him. Rodney was depressed and flustered. After looking at Mel, he went home dejectedly.
He pushed the door open and saw his mother sitting on the sofa, looking unhappy. He did not have the
energy to pay attention to his mother and went straight upstairs. Rachel was in a worse mood when
she saw her son’s dejected look.
Today, the wife of Mr. Moore, who had a good time in her circle, came to see her. It was supposed to be
a happy thing, but when the two of them talked about Shannon and Celia, everything became
unpleasant.
Mrs. Moore didn’t know where she heard the rumor that Shannon gave birth to Celia before she got
married. She asked, “Rodney and Celia didn’t break the engagement because Shannon was the
mistress?”
Rachel always thought that only she knew that Shannon was the mistress, but she didn’t expect that
Mrs. Moore also knew it.
Mrs. Moore was famous for her big mouth. When she knew, many noble madams in the circle would
definitely know. Rachel’s good mood suddenly changed because of Mrs. Moore’s words. Of course,
she would not admit it. So she asked, “Where do you mean?”
“You don’t have to hide it anymore? The news has spread.”
“It’s spread? Who did you hear it from?” Rachel was surprised. Recently, it was inconvenient for her to
go out. After hearing Mrs. Moore’s words, she started to stir up trouble in her heart. Was everyone
really aware of it?
“My daughter came back and told me,” Mrs. Moore replied. “It has been spread all over their social
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcircle. Now, Celia doesn’t dare to go out because of this matter.”
Celia didn’t go out because Rachel knew that she was pregnant. But who was the one who spread the
news that Shannon was a mistress? “Do you know who spread the news?”
“I don’t know, but you must know better than me, right? We have such a good friendship, but you hide it
from me.”
There was a grudge between Mrs. Moore and Shannon. She looked like she was gloating. “That
Shannon, I’ve always thought that she’s the secretary’s wife putting on an act. I can’t stand it, but now I
know that she’s a mistress. Luckily, Rodney and her daughter have broken off the engagement. Why
don’t you face a mistress’ daughter all day? You must be in a bad mood.”
Rachel smiled bitterly. It was not true at all that Rodney and Celia had broken off the engagement.
However, since the news had spread, it would not be wise to let Celia marry into the family in the
future. She had a headache. She had already promised Itzel. How could she explain if she went back
on her word?
Mrs. Moore didn’t know Rachel’s distress. She continued to tell Rachel the news she had heard. “By
the way, do you know what Shannon did before she married Mr. Black?”
“I don’t know.”
“She used to live in the cat’s alley in the South City. That’s the most messy and poor place in the South
City,” said Mrs. Moore.
“It’s said that she was nicknamed a flower in the cat’s alley at that time. It was so funny that she called
me a flower. It’s the same as those prostitutes’ names in ancient times.” Mrs. Moore thought it was
funny.
Rachel naturally knew the name Parkview Street. She had never dreamed that the noble and elegant
secretary’s wife would come from there and have such an indecent title.
However, heroes didn’t care about their backgrounds. Although Shannon didn’t come from a good
family, she did have some ability to become the secretary’s wife in such a place. Of course, she had to
abandon her mistress to get the position. Looking at Mrs. Moore’s gloating look, she felt a little
uncomfortable, so she said, “Shannon is beautiful. No wonder she is called a flower.”
Mrs. Moore said disdainfully, “What’s so great about being beautiful? There are many women more
beautiful than her. If everyone becomes a mistress like her, the world will be in chaos.”
“Maybe she has some difficulties.” It was the first time that Rachel spoke for her mistress, and her face
was a little hot.
“What difficulties? What difficulties shouldn’t we break up other people’s families? Yu Zhenfang, why
are you so strange today? Don’t you hate your mistress the most? Why did you put in a good word for
her today?” Mrs. Moore was very dissatisfied with Rachel’s words for Shannon.
“I didn’t put in a good word for her. I just think it wasn’t easy for her.” Rachel quickly clarified.
“Let me tell you, this woman is not an ordinary mistress. Other people have their own difficulties in
being a mistress, but this Shannon is much more disgusting than those who take the position of
mistress. I heard that she and Channing’s wife are best friends, men who steal their best friends. It can
be seen that this kind of woman has a bad character. The most important thing is that she did not have
a good character before. I heard that she had an affair with many gangsters in some cat’s alley. How
dirty is this kind of person?”
