Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 121

Ines was still guessing who Amelia's husband was cheating with, but, lo and behold, in a few days, someone was spilling the beans right at the doorstep of the firm. Here's how it unfolded: Upon Ines' arrival at the office, she was met with an unusual gathering, a surefire sign of something amiss. Not one to indulge in idle curiosity, she was ready to leave when a face within the crowd caught her attention. Marred by scratches but still unmistakably familiar, it was Kelly.

At that moment, Kelly was getting wrestled to the ground by another young woman. The two were going at it, and Ines, with a furrowed brow, walked over. This was the first time she'd seen two women throw down in the streets.

"You little temptress, you dared to seduce my man, you've got some nerve. I'm going to scratch that pretty face of yours!" The woman had long nails, and with one swipe, she left a bloody mark on Kelly's delicate face.

"Ah!" Kelly shrieked, clutching her face.

"Bitch, just look at the way you dress! Isn't it to seduce men?" The woman tried to rip Kelly's clothes off.

Kelly was always one to stay abreast of fashion trends. Even in the face of the nippy weather, she wore a black leather crop top and skinny jeans, accentuating her slender waist and elongating her legs, exuding an undeniably sultry allure.

With one pull, the woman had undone the buttons of Kelly's top, revealing a cool tank top underneath. One hand clutching her face, the other trying to keep her tank top from falling off, Kelly yelled, "You lunatic, who's your man? Who seduced him? Get your facts straight before causing a scene!"

Kelly was certain this woman had the wrong person. She had no idea who she was.

The woman laughed. "Bitch, I knew you wouldn't admit it. But I trust my own eyes, I saw you in his arms." She threw a stack of photos at Kelly's face, scattering them everywhere.

Ignoring the pain, Kelly picked up a photo and looked at it. Her face turned pale.

"Well, cat got your tongue? Isn't that you in the photo?"

"You, you, you..." Kelly pointed at the woman in disbelief.

Seeing her admit it, the woman didn't hold back and slapped her again. Five red finger marks appeared on her delicate face, added to the scratch from before, it was a sorry sight.

The crowd started to throw insults.

"These young girls nowadays have no shame, ruining their bright futures by seducing other people's husbands."

"People like her deserve to be beaten."

An older woman even spat on Kelly and said, "The world is going to hell. I detest people like her the most."

Just like that, Kelly became a public enemy, everyone was ready to throw stones at her.

Voices full of accusations echoed in the crowd, with all kinds of nasty words thrown in.

Ines finally managed to squeeze to the front, wanting to break up the fight, but the photos on the ground left her stunned. She recognized the man in the photos, it was the husband Amelia was divorcing, little Naomi's father, Leo.
