How to Destroy a Cheater Without Saying Goodbye novel Chapter 98

Felipa hit the floor with a sharp cry. "Mr. Simmons! What are you doing?"

Eddy finally got a good look at the woman he'd shoved—she was the same one he'd spotted at the press conference the other day. He froze, only now realizing his mistake.

Blanche, propped against the armrest of the couch, mustered her strength and shot Eddy a frosty glare. "Why are you attacking Miss Felipa?"

Felipa scrambled to her feet, brushing herself off. She cast an angry look at Eddy before turning to Blanche. "Mrs. Simmons, let me get you a glass of water."
