A Second Chance with the CEO After Divorce

Chapter 35:

A resounding slap echoed throughout the banquet hall, silencing everyone instantly.

All eyes were wide with disbelief, unable to comprehend the spectacle they had just witnessed.

This evening had turned into quite the revelation.

Belinda, known for her elegance and composure as Kristopher’s wife, not only voiced her complaints and declared her intention to divorce, but she also… slapped Maggie across the face, leaving behind a vivid red mark!

The women who had earlier mingled with Belinda were completely taken aback.

Could this really be the same Mrs. Cox, who was always the epitome of grace and wore a constant, gentle smile?

Maggie, hand pressed to her stinging cheek, turned to Belinda with eyes brimming with shock. How could she dare slap her?

“Maggie!”

Cathy, jolted from her daze, hurried over, a look of concern etched on her face as she reached for Maggie’s stinging cheek. “Are you alright? Is it very painful?”

Maggie, now visibly reacting to the pain, gripped her face tighter, her lip quivering as she fought back tears. “Yes, it hurts! It really hurts! Not even my own parents have ever hit me like this!”
