Chapter 6 The air in the hall froze instantly . Every guest's eyes turned toward me . Their initial confusion gave way to stunned recognition as they saw my face clearly , and a wave of audible gasps swept through the crowd . The triumphant smile on Jasmine's face vanished without a trace . She subconsciously shrank behind Kenneth , her fingers trembling as they clutched his sleeve . " W - What are you doing here ? " she stammered . I ignored her completely , my gaze fixed intently on Kenneth . His pupils contracted sharply - a flicker of panic crossed his eyes - but it was soon replaced by his usual cold viciousness . He let go of Jasmine's waist and strode toward me , a barely detectable unease threading through his voice . " Sandy ? What are you doing here ? Didn't I tell you to wait for me at home ? " " Wait for you at home ? " I repeated his words , a faint smile touching my lips as I looked up at that once - familiar face . Then I said softly , " Shall I wait for you to gift my winery to another woman ? Or for you to tell everyone that I'm just your maid ? " Kenneth's expression instantly darkened . It took him a moment to collect himself . 0.00 % 08 17 Chacher t Then he lowered his head and voice , whispering almost pleadingly , " There are too many people here . Let's talk when we get home . " Sandy , come back with me . " I'll explain everything once we're there . " 11 He reached out to grab my wrist - a gesture so familiar , so natural , one he had used to coax me countless times over the past ten years . But as my eyes fell upon the cheap plastic flower where his cufflinks should have been , as the unfamiliar perfume - not mine - drifted from him , all I felt was a wave of nausea . I took a sharp step back , avoiding his touch . " Explain ? " I laughed a harsh , ringing sound that cut through the silent hall . " What exactly do you want to explain ? Why you're wearing a suit from the brand of my family's sworn enemy ? " Why you gifted the winery my brother gave me to your mistress just to please her ? " Or how proud you felt telling everyone I was your maid ? " Kenneth's face turned pale . He clearly hadn't expected me to challenge him so directly in front of everyone , and the panic in his eyes was now unmistakable . Gritting his teeth , he leaned even closer , his voice a strained whisper almost against my ear . " Cut it out , Sandra ! " Are you really gonna humiliate me in front of all these guests ? Come with me . I'm begging you . 26.25 % 08 17 Chapter 6 " I swear - I'll explain everything to you later . Alright ? " 208 Vouchers He tried to soften me with that familiar , doting tone he had used so often before . But now , all it brought me was a cold , bitter wave of irony . When he was chased and beaten on the streets that year , I carried him on my back and ran for three blocks to find a doctor . When he was slashed by his rival and sent to the OR , I signed the critical illness notice and waited outside for three days and nights . " Later ? " I repeated , looking at him , my gaze chillingly glacial . " Kenneth , do you honestly believe we still have a future ? " His face turned deathly pale , as he never expected I could be this merciless . " Do you have to go this far , Sandy ? " he hissed through gritted teeth . " Are you really gonna throw away our ten - year relationship ? You even wouldn't give me a chance to explain ?" " Our relationship ? " I pulled out a stack of documents from my bag and slammed it directly into his face . The papers were scattered across the floor , the top one clearly showing his hotel room record with Jasmine from the top - floor suite . " When you fucked her while I lay unconscious with a high fever , did you ever think about our relationship ? " His head snapped sideways from the impact , veins bulging along his neck . The next second , he turned back toward me , his eyes filled with a hatred so intense it stunned me . 51.27 % 08.17 Chapter 6 " You leave me no choice , Sandra . " He spun abruptly to face the guests , his voice sharp and venomous . " Everyone , listen carefully . " She's not my wife ! She's just a maid working for my family ! 1208 Vouchers " Years ago , she was destitute , unable to make ends meet . I took pity on her , sheltered her , and offered her a job . " He pointed at my nose , the ferocity in his eyes palpable . " But her greed knows no bounds . Now that my career has thrived , she tried to get into my bed and even had the audacity to deceive all of you into believing she is my wife ! " Jasmine immediately played along . Tears welled in her red - rimmed eyes as she hid behind him , saying in a sobbing voice , " Kenneth , don't say that ... Ms. Burton probably just ... made a mistake in the heat of the moment ... " When saying this , she discreetly scanned the room , gauging the reactions of the crowd , the triumph in her eyes completely undisguised . 80 52
