Breaking Point of Divorce (Hugh and Bethan) novel Chapter 450

Chapter 450 Chaos Reigned

In a daze, Hugh found himself downstairs without a clear memory of how he got there.

Sliding into his car, he lit cigarette after cigarette, the burning embers contrasting the growing darkness of his mood. When the pack finally ran empty with not a single cigarette left to shake out, Hugh slumped tiredly over the steering wheel, his heart throbbing with a dull pain.

The following morning, Gwen decided it was the perfect day for a shopping jaunt.

She reached out to Bethan, and soon they were strolling hand-in-arm along the downtown pedestrian street.

Gwen broke the silence with a little nudge to Bethan's arm. "Bethan, last night, there were so many people there. Never got a chance to have a proper chat with you. How about we hit up that trendy diner for lunch? I've heard loads about it."

Bethan, having nothing better to do, smiled and responded, "Sure thing! My turn to pay."

And truth be told, she also had a few things on her mind she wanted to ask Gwen about.

"Jessica?"

Just then, Gwen's sharp eyes caught sight of Jessica and a small group striding purposefully towards a fancy-looking beauty salon.

It clicked in her head that this was the very place owned by Maria.

Gwen's face lit up with excitement. Grabbing Bethan's hand tightly, she said, "Bethan, this is gonna be juicy! Let's hightail it over there and see what's going on."

Bethan was utterly bewildered but let herself be dragged across the road.

Outside Marianne Beauty Studio, Gwen was about to charge right in when Bethan quickly grabbed her sleeve, holding her back.

Spotting a discreet corner, they slipped into it and peeked out curiously.

It was a bit past ten in the morning, and the salon was abuzz with activity.

Inside, Jessica, Sarah, and Sarah's sisters walked in with an air of authority.

Megan had just been released by the police recently and was helping at the salon like her aunt asked. As soon as she saw Sarah and her crew storm in, she shrank back behind the cashier desk.

Some of the salon staff and a few customers stopped what they were doing and started to gather around, a mix of curiosity and unease on their faces.

Megan, trying to sound brave, spoke up, "Mrs. Field, what's all this about? Bringing a whole posse here?"

Sarah scoffed and snapped, "Don't you think your aunt can turn into a fancy lady just because she's knocked up with my husband's kid?"

Nervously, Megan shifted her gaze around the room.

Hidden from view behind a curtain, Bethan couldn't help but frown.

Memories of her past life flashed before her eyes. Back then, Maria only managed to marry into the Field family after her divorce from Hugh.

It was clear as day now that Maria and Bradley had been having an affair way before.
