After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

Irene should have been happy, after all, she was getting the reaction she wanted out of Leonica, but she couldn't be.

No, not when the wine bottle had been empty, and all eyes were on her, trying to phantom what wrong she had done.

Why weren't they judging Leonica who had poured the wine over her, she thought with gritted teeth, her eyes burning with anger. She was the victim here, so why were they not showing any pity.

"She must have crossed her boundaries." Someone said with a click of her tongue, the distaste evidence in their voice. "Well, what's to be expected of an illegitimate child, who's a commoner at that. Disgraceful." Another chimed in.

"I'm sure Ms. Romero was provoked by her, or else she wouldn't have reacted the way she did."

"That's true. After all, the Romero's are known to be very well-mannered."

Whispers of such went on, only a few people expressed their distaste for Leonica's action.

"I've warned you several times, watch your mouth." Leonica said as her eyes scanned the crowd, trying to see which person who give her the reaction she wanted. Alas, she saw none. "All these people must feel your shame," She clicked her tongue. "Look, even father is coming."

Just like she had said, Benjamin, along with Melvin, came rushing towards them.

"What is the meaning of this?" Benjamin sternly demanded.

Irene was about to open her mouth and speak, seeing this as a chance to paint Leonica black in her father's eyes, when she realized that Benjamin's question along with his faze, was directed at her.

Huh? This was not what she expected.

"What did you do, Leo?" Melvin asked, but the look in his eyes showed no form of the harsh scolding Irene wanted.

They were plain out bullying her and no one in the crowd dared speak up for her! That realization was more sour than any lime she had tasted in her life.

"She... Leonica did it." She finally managed to find her voice. "She emptied the wine on me because I confronted her about the harsh words she used on me." She said, acting meek.

"Is this true, Leonica?" Benjamin asked, turning his gaze to his second daughter and without hesitation, she nodded.

Ha, now she was going to get scolded, preferably thrown out of the venue, Irene thought as she fought back her smile.

Who said her action was going to be a total waste?

"Ha," Benjamin sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. He knew it was only a matter of time before something like this happened. Leonica had been so considerate, putting her feeling aside and trying to fix his mistake, so of course she was going to explode at some point. Pointing towards one of the doors, he instructed. "Balcony, go there and cool down."

The smile that Irene had been trying to hide completely disappeared.

Cool down out on the balcony? No, she was meant to get kicked out. Why was Benjamin not giving her the treatment she deserved.

"Yes, father." Came Leonica's obedient reply and after a glare in her way, she walked off.
