Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1884

"You're neglecting Mavis, your wife, to take care of another woman. Do you even know what you're doing? Are you blinded by her looks?"

Meanwhile, Kristen did not feel sad after being slapped.

Once Mildred left, her colleagues gathered around, asking if she was okay.

Kristen was skilled at social interactions and generally got along well with her coworkers, so many were genuinely concerned about her.

She shook her head, pretending to be strong.

"I'm fine. I think Madam Nicholls might have misunderstood me."

A colleague, unable to contain their curiosity, asked, "Isn't this the first time you've met Madam Nicholls? How could she have misunderstood you?

"Just now, she accused you of being a homewrecker, but other than Mr. Nicholls, there's no one else. Did you somehow disrupt Mr. Nicholls's family?"

Kristen did not know how to explain at this point, so she resorted to her trump card—crying.

Her tears streamed down her cheeks, making even the female colleagues feel sympathetic, let alone the male ones.

Someone quickly handed her a tissue and comforted her, "Kristen, don't be sad. If it's just a misunderstanding, you can clear it up with Madam Nicholls later."

The colleagues were all on Kristen's side; even if she claimed to be innocent, people would believe her.

She nodded while crying, but inside, she felt a cold resolve.

She cursed at Mildred for publicly slapping her.

If she ever got the chance, she would definitely return the slap.

And there was Mavis, who stuck close to Mildred as if she had backing.

How long could an old lady live anyway?

As long as she was patient, Nathaniel's heart would always belong to her.

Upstairs, Mildred left after saying a few more stern words.

They stared at each other for a long time, and the room fell silent.

Mavis was the first to look away, a bitter smile playing on her lips.

Her chest felt heavy, and she felt a lump in her throat.

His mind was so full of Kristen, so why would he ever believe her?

What was she hoping for?

Suddenly, Nathaniel said softly, "I believe you."

Mavis was stunned, her heart warmed up upon hearing his words.

Yet, her joy did not last as Nathaniel's following words crushed her hopes.

"Kristen's only family died in a riot. She's alone now, and I'm just keeping a promise I made. Mavis, do you believe me?"
