"You bastard!!"
A scream, followed by a loud slap.
"Ah…" Caught off guard, Rhoda fell and received a slap, making her scream.
"You jerk! It was you! You told me to come and catch you guys! And now it's such a mess, you're the main culprit!"
Makenna fiercely gripped Rhoda's hair, pulling it hard as if she wanted to tear it off from her scalp.
"Makenna... I... I was just trying to help..."
"Hmph! My family is now a mess because of you, and you have the nerve to say you're doing it for my sake? I'll show you what it means to do me a favor!!"
The sounds of heavy blows came again, accompanied by Makenna's furious shouts and Rhoda's screams.
"What?! The one who really told you to catch us was this woman?!"
In the chaos, Austin, with a swollen face, also sprang up from the sofa. Looking at Rhoda, who was beaten beyond recognition by his wife, he didn't feel the slightest pity. Instead, he glared fiercely, his anger flaring up!
"It's her! I recognized her voice as soon as I got here! She told me you were in a hotel room with a beautiful woman, she even gave me the room number!"
Austin was stunned for a moment, looking at Rhoda cowering on the sofa, his facial muscles twitched violently!
"You damned woman! You actually..." Austin roared, and his eyes turned round with anger. He pushed aside his panting wife and grabbed Rhoda from the sofa.
Rhoda, who was once quite attractive, was now battered and bruised, first from a slap from Chloe, then a beating from Makenna.
Austin was always a lustful man. In the past, he might have hesitated, but now looking at this face as ugly as a pig's, he felt disgusted and had no good feelings towards her, especially since this damned woman deserved to die.
"I wonder why you were so enthusiastic. Turns out you've been scheming against me from the start! You hid Tiffany and identified that woman as my mistress! I initially thought it was a good idea, turns out the one who exposed me and Tiffany was you!!"
"No... that's not it, Mr. Austin, I... I was just..." Rhoda's mind was in a mess, everything was completely contrary to her expectations. She had no idea what to say to get out of this farce. But no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't come up with a good explanation.
"You bitch!"
Her stammering made Austin even more furious! He raised his arm and slammed it onto Rhoda's swollen face.
"I'll make you regret this!" he roared. He was furious that he had actually believed this woman.
"Ah!"
Everyone watched Rhoda's fate coldly. She had really brought it on herself.
Those who knew Rupin knew that he was just like Austin in character, just younger and more handsome, but without a stable relationship. For him to give up so many women outside for Rhoda, he must have felt it was not worth it. Now Rhoda was still daydreaming about marrying into a rich family. She was already arrogant and looked down on people before she even succeeded. She even slandered Chloe indiscriminately in order to keep her so-called position as Rupin's wife.
She was really in big trouble this time...
Chloe watched Rhoda's current miserable state with cold eyes, the corners of her lips tightened slightly.
Rhoda now lay on the ground in a pathetic state, her swollen face looking somewhat grim, completely defeated.
Chloe straightened up from Damon's arms, and slowly stood up from the sofa, her slender figure carrying a proud and indifferent aura. Her calm demeanor made people unable to take their eyes off her.
She slowly walked to Rhoda, stopping a step away from her. The others' thoughts slowly shifted back from the confusion when they saw Chloe stand up. It turned out that everyone's attention was focused on Mr. Austin and Makenna, inadvertently overlooking the real instigator.
If Chloe hadn't said those words, maybe Rhoda could have avoided this disaster today. Understanding this, everyone looked at Chloe with a meaningful gaze. She didn't need to take action herself, just a word, and someone else would teach Rhoda a lesson for her.
The deeper they thought about these things, the more frightened they became. The more they thought, the more they felt that Chloe's schemes were not something ordinary people could compare to. Everyone couldn't help swallowing, and a sense of awe for her suddenly rose.
Chloe looked down at the woman at her feet with her long eyelashes lowered.
