“You’re always checking her Instagrami”

Furious, Claire lunged forward and snatched the phone from Kevin, who sat on the sofa,

“Claire, give me back my phonel” Kevin stood up immediately, glaring at her.

“Stephanie is Dominick’s wife, and she’s carrying his child. You wake up already!” Claire yelled back, exasperated.

“It’s none of your business!” Kevin stepped forward and swiftly grabbed his phone back. His face was cold as he glared at the woman before him. “Leave here at once, Claire. You have no right to stay in Nelson Villa.”

Ever since her past deeds were exposed, Kevin ground his teeth in hatred every time he saw her.

Claire felt guilty but raised her voice. “I know I have messed up, but we are married. We’re a couple, and couples are supposed to forgive…”

“Spare me the disgust. Get out now!”

The thought of her colluding with Dominick to scheme against him made Kevin seethe with rage.

His disdain for her was palpable as if he detested her very existence.
