Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1678

Mavis stared in shock at her mud-stained dress, her mood sinking to an all-time low.

The ruined dress was the final straw, and she could not help but feel tears welling up in her eyes.

She stood there, frozen.

The rain intensified, showing no sign of stopping.

Mavis knew she would catch a cold if she stayed out any longer.

She patted her soaked face and let out a bitter laugh.

She must look awful and pathetic now.

Her makeup had been washed away by the rain, leaving her face a wet mess.

She could not tell if the wetness was from her tears or the raindrops.

On the subway, a rude child pointed at her, exclaiming, "Mom, is that lady dressed like a ghost? She looks so scary. Is she here to haunt us?"

The child's mother was visibly startled by the child's comment.

She quickly pulled her child's hand down and scolded, "Don't say such things about others. It's rude."

Despite her words, she looked at Mavis with disdain.

At the next stop, the woman hurriedly exited with her child, as if truly fearing Mavis was some kind of ghost.

Mavis was already feeling utterly miserable, and she barely registered their conversation.

She felt cold all over.

Suddenly, she caught sight of her reflection in the subway window—her makeup smeared beyond recognition.

It made sense why the child thought she looked like a ghost.

Nonetheless, Mavis could not care less.

She had no energy left to worry about her appearance.

When she finally exited the subway, Mavis dragged her tired body back to the Nicholls residence.

As she opened the door and stepped inside, the servant gasped in shock.

"Mrs. Nicholls, w-what happened to you?"

With that, Mavis walked past Gabrielle and headed straight to her room.

Gabrielle sighed and refrained from saying anything more.

A servant approached and asked, "Miss, should we have a doctor on standby in case Mrs. Nicholls catches a cold or gets a fever?"

Gabrielle looked at Mavis's disappearing figure and shook her head.

"Let's not disturb her. If she needs a doctor, we can call one later."

Given the situation, Mavis likely felt unwell both physically and emotionally.

Nathaniel had really disappointed her, getting her hopes up only to leave without a word.

Anyone would be upset.

Fortunately, Mavis was not the type to hold grudges.

Otherwise, Nathaniel would have a long road ahead in making it up to her.
