Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1948

"Hey, that's enough!" Taylor finally lost his cool. "You can criticize me, but Abigail has nothing to do with this. How dare you accuse her!"

"How does she have nothing to do with it? If she hadn't interfered, you and Lucy would have long been together, and Lucy wouldn't be crying every day." Salome's voice grew louder, drawing the attention of the surrounding guests.

Taylor's hands balled into fists at his side as he frowned, a mix of anguish and restraint etched across his face.

"You have nothing to say now?" Seeing that Taylor couldn't respond, Salome became bolder and rolled her eyes at Abigail.

"Some women are born shameless and like to steal everything from others. They like to get involved in other people's relationships. How disgusting!"

"I'll give you three seconds to take back what you just said and apologize to me." Abigail was never a meek person; it was impossible that she would suffer in silence.

"What's wrong? Are you scared of what others will say about you?" Salome was completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

Taking advantage of her larger build, she directly stepped forward and puffed out her chest to provoke Abigail. "What if I don't apologize? Hit me if you dare. Come on, hit me. I bet you don't have the guts—"

Before Salome could finish her words, Abigail delivered a sweeping kick and caused Salome to fall on her buttocks. Her head slammed heavily against the hard couch of the nearby booth.

She lay there like a turtle turned upside down, her four limbs flailing in the air.

Abigail dusted off her hands and looked at the onlookers around her with an innocent face. "You all heard her. She asked me to hit her. I've never had such a request in my life."

Little did she know there was this hidden truth, which ended up making them the ones in the wrong.

"Abigail, let's go." Taylor knew that those words had embarrassed Lucy. Since the matter had already been clarified, there was no need to stay there, or it would only further provoke Lucy's emotions.

As they walked out of the restaurant, Lucy lowered her eyes, a hint of disappointment flashing in them.

Salome saw it and couldn't help feeling suspicious. Taylor already had someone he liked, yet Lucy still tried to approach him. Did that mean Lucy had intended to steal Taylor from the very beginning?

Yes, that must be the case. Lucy was from a wealthy family, and she would certainly go after the things she had set her sights on. It was just that a rich person like her cared about her image and was too embarrassed to admit it.
