And now? The moment Shaton met Eleanor’s eyes, the immediately lowered her bead, holding her breath.

Her attention was on Mallory, whose face hadiumed godly pale.

Eleanor’s words were like a slap on Mallory’s face, and her skin burned with humiliation.
“What am I going to do with you? Throw you in jail? That’s not necessary. It’s not as if our feud runs that deep. I’ll just make sure that you lose every last shred of dignity in front of all you

Before she could finish, a bottle of wine smashed onto the floor right in front of her. The loud crack made her freeze in fear and stumble back onto the ground She looked up, trembling
Sebastian was stating down at her, his expression cold and merciless
At that moment, something in Mallory shattered completely. “Sebastian, why are you helping her? Why are you standing up for her?” she questioned, almost pleadingly.
Eleanor raised an eyebrow. That too…
Oh, Sharon and jean weren’t the only ones who liked Sebastian Mullary did too.
No wonder she’d been so furious when they’d been talking about healer. Eleanor finally understood. It was all because of Sebastian and his endless string of admirers Mallory had been targeting her because of him this whole time!
Noved to the brink, Mallory nearly lost it.
e random man when she was 18 Mallory hollered
“You have no idea what kind of disgusting things she’s done! She got pregnant before she was even married and had a kid with some ti
Eleanor’s steps faltered.
Mallory scrambled to pull something from her bag Then, she held up a piece of paper for everyone to ser “Look at this! This is her hospital red from back then! She gave birth in secret! She’s the most shameless
