Regret Novel 60

eye, but his face remained calm, betraying nothing.

Mrs. Fontaine blurted out, “She seduced my husband!”

Evander’s gaze turned unreadable, deep and unfathomable.

Director Fontaine stepped forward, positioning himself beside Evander. “Mr. Howard, I apologize for this scene. Our family issues–we’ll handle them privately.”

Director Fontaine’s face turned ashen. “What nonsense! Director Winthrop is Mr. Howard’s girlfriend. Do you think you can act as shamelessly as she does?”

Charlotte lifted her chin, looking Evander straight in the eye. “Is Director Winthrop really your girlfriend?”

Everyone in the room froze, watching this tense standoff.
