Chapter 143 Not Worth a Damn

12 min left

The Schemer's Bane could make Alistair instantly sniff out anyone

nearby with bad intentions and make damn sure they got what

was coming to them.

Alistair figured, no matter how much of a lowlife Richard was,

he'd at least try to keep up appearances in public. Besides, that whole two guys

duking it out over a girl mess had just died down.

Richard had to tread carefully. No way was he that desperate to

start harassing someone right on the street.

So, naturally, The Schemer's Bane bit him in the ass.

Serves him right!

But for a creep like Richard, just having his reputation trashed

feels way too easy.

He saw Caroline's face go ice-cold.

Okay, looks like my wife is filing this one away...

It was like watching a bad movie rerun. Alistair saw Rebecca,

looking like she'd been dragged through a hedge backward,

muscle her way out of the crowd. She was so desperate to escape the fallout that she even ditched her own kid.

Of course, I have no clue Rebecca has been planning to bail on

her son for ages...

As Rebecca hurried past them, something seemed to click, and

her head snapped up, eyes locking onto them.

She froze just for a second, pure, unadulterated panic flashing

across her face.

Caroline, noticing Rebecca practically drilling holes into her husband with her stare, jerked her chin toward Richard, who was

now surrounded. "Stop drooling over someone else's husband.

Yours is over there."

Rebecca looked like she wanted the earth to open up and swallow

her. Every last shred of her old arrogance was gone. In front of Caroline, she was completely deflated.

She felt like she'd been slapped in the face, but she didn't dare get lippy with Caroline. "He's not my husband!"

She might have been saying it to Caroline, but it felt like the words were aimed straight at Alistair.

But, just like she'd figured, Alistair's expression didn't even flicker.

He was bent down, talking to Eloise, completely ignoring her.
