"Don't worry about it. That woman clearly lacks manners." Another shop assistant
comforted her.
They only dared to speak such words after the customers had left and there were no other
customers in the store.
This was the first time they encountered such a person after working at the store for such
a long time.
"That lady who came just now bought a lot of snacks. Let me restock the shelves first.”
The shop assistant who had served Luca earlier nodded and turned around, moving deftly
among the shelves.
The conversation between Myra and the shop assistant did not last long, but Myra felt
frustrated for quite a while.
Myra arrived at the private room mentioned in the text message. Then, she pushed the
door open, walked in, and found two other women seated inside.
One of them looked familiar. Myra took a closer look and recognized her as the daughter-
in-law of the Mallory family, Karen Ruiz.
As for the other woman, Myra thought she looked familiar, but she could not quite place
her identity.
"You're late," Karen said with displeasure. She recognized Myra with just one glance.
When Myra realized Karen was from the Mallory family, she knew she was truly capable of
helping the Hudson family. She closed the private room door and approached with a smile,
explaining, "Madam Mallory, I didn't intend to be late. I just saw that woman in a store."
"Which woman?" Karen frowned. She did not like people who were not punctual, but she
asked casually.
"That bitch, Luca! She was blackmailing me. That's why I ended up being late." Myra knew
that everyone in this room despised Luca as well, so she gave a brief overview of the
situation at the store earlier.
Margaret could not help but feel angry when she heard what Myra said.
She was not mad at Myra but Luca.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"That bitch knows how to use Luke's name to bolster herself with false authority. Ptooey.
We must teach her a lesson and make her a universally hated public nuisance this time!"
Margaret's reaction was intense. Her expression twisted when she recalled that she
accidentally spilled something on Luca and ended up having to spend a few days in the
police station.
The Jackman family was also facing difficulties now because of Luke.
Hence, when Karen called her anonymously, she did not care who it was and agreed right
away.
She was on board as long as they shared a common enemy.
Karen took a sip of her coffee. Unlike Margaret, who had such a strong reaction, she calmly
said to
Myra, "Let's order some drinks first."
Myra nodded. She was thirsty too.
After Myra left the store, she kept cursing at Luca on her way here. Her curses were so
relentless that her throat felt dry.
After ordering a cup of Blue Mountain coffee, Myra was about to say something, but she
heard Karen say, "I don't want our conversation to be overheard. Let's wait for the drinks
to arrive."
Myra nodded, secretly admiring Karen's attitude. She truly was a person from the Mallory
family. She was careful and thorough.
While they were waiting for their coffee to be served, Myra also learned that the other
person present was Margaret, the daughter-in-law of the Jackman family.
Myra suddenly figured out why the person in front of her looked familiar.
Margaret was notorious for her strong hatred toward mistresses in their circle.
Another reason Myra remembered Margaret was because she had not missed any of the
reports about Luca and Luke. She had been hoping to find evidence of their illicit
relationship in those reports.
Furthermore, she also came across reports of Margaret being sent to the police station on
charges of intentional harm by Luke.
After the waiter served the coffee Myra ordered, Karen instructed him, "No one should
enter the room without our permission."
"Yes, Madam Mallory," replied the waiter in a soft voice. Karen was a regular at the coffee
shop, and the waiter did not think much of it. She assumed it was just a gathering of rich
men's wives.
Once the waiter left, Karen took some documents out of a briefcase and handed the
documents to the people there. Then, she said, "These are the documents I mentioned."
The women quickly skimmed through the documents. Then, they exchanged glances after
they finished reading them.
In the end, it was Myra who spoke up, "I told you she has an inappropriate relationship
with Luke! This is evidence! How dare she intimidate me earlier?"
Back in the store, she was frightened by Luca for a moment.
However, when she thought about it, Luca was just someone who worked in a
pharmaceutical company. How could she wield so much power? How could she dare to
threaten her? Therefore, this only strengthened Myra's belief that Luca had an illicit
relationship with Luke.
Now, the evidence confirmed what she had suspected all along. Myra was excited.
"Ptooey!" Margaret scolded. "What a cunning vixen. If this were in the old days, she'd be
thrown into a pigsty!"
Myra's gaze shifted and fell on Margaret. Even though she did not understand why Karen
hated Luca or why she wanted to bring her down, she understood Margaret's resentment.
"Mrs. Jackman, the last time I was shopping, I saw her getting quite cozy with another
man. They were acting very intimately!" Myra recounted a scene she had witnessed when
she went shopping with her sister-in-law.
"Another man?" Karen's brows furrowed when she heard that.
"Yes, I saw them buying groceries together. I think they were planning to go home and
cook a romantic meal together. Who would've thought that? Luke is cheating on his wife,
but this promiscuous woman is also returning the favor by cheating on him," said Myra
with a touch of malicious delight in her voice.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Why didn't the detective I hire uncover this?" asked Karen. The detective did capture
images of Luca and Johann walking together.
However, both of them were at the hospital, and many people were around them.
Even though they were standing close to each other, it would not hold up as evidence of
anything improper between them, so Karen did not pay much attention to those photos.
"It was earlier than that, Madam Mallory. I noticed that most of the information in your
documents are recent events. Maybe you hadn't asked the detective to follow her back
then," Myra speculated.
"That's quite possible." Her eyes flashed with a glint of determination. "It'll be even better
if that bitch is dating other men."
Margaret and Myra both looked at her.
"I believe you both hate Luca and Luke. Exposing their affairs and also Luca's infidelity will
make the whole thing even more spectacular when the time comes, right?" said Karen. No
man could stand being cheated on.
Much of the reason why Pierre was in this state now was because of Luke Crawford.
Hence, she would not let go of any opportunity to embarrass Luke.
Both Margaret and Myra nodded, agreeing to what she said. "Yes. It'd be great to make
these two scumbags face public criticism and ridicule together."
Margaret chimed in.
Karen turned to Myra and asked, "Tell me, where did you see them back then, and what
did the guy look like?"
Myra furrowed her brow, trying to recall. "I've forgotten what the guy looked like. He was
pretty average. But I do remember the place where I saw them. Madam Mallory, I'll send
you the location."
Previously, Myra's mind was consumed with anger when she encountered Luca. She did
not pay much attention to the man beside her.
Besides, the guy did not stand out in terms of look. Thus, it was normal that she could not
remember him. She dared not to suspect any improper relationship between Luca and
Luke at that time. Thus, she did not pa attention to what the guy looked like either.
