Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband by Paga Slayer

Chapter 286 Unfaithful Wife

Amelia stormed into her apartment. Her frustration was visible on her face.

"Claire, you know I don't have time for this," she snapped, slamming the door behind her. Claire was already sitting on the couch, her posture slumped, anxiety and fear etched on her face. "I have enough on my plate without having to clean up the mess you've created." Her tone was sharp, laced with annoyance and disgust.

Amelia's anger wasn't just about the situation; it was about what Claire had done to Adam. He wasn't just her boss-he was her idol. He was in fact an idol for many and Claire had betrayed him. And right now, the world was turning against Claire. It felt like everyone, everywhere, was yelling her name with hatred.

Claire barely looked up as Amelia's words hit her. Her voice was small, thick with the pain and exhaustion from the hours of crying. "Amelia... I... I have nowhere to go," she murmured, her words breaking. "Please, I need your help."

Amelia stared at her, frustration mixing with disbelief. "Claire... why did you do this to Adam?" she asked, the question that everyone seemed to be asking.

"Amelia," Claire murmured, her voice trembling but filled with a desperate plea, "if I tell you I'm a victim too and that Daniel did this intentionally to take revenge... will you believe me?"

Amelia's harsh expression softened slightly as she saw the raw vulnerability in her friend's eyes. She let out a sigh, her frustration giving way to reluctant empathy. "Claire, even if I believe you, the damage to Adam's image is already done. We have to find a way to fix it," she said and her tone was softer this time.

Claire nodded slowly, understanding the weight of the situation. A spark of determination lit up her tear-streaked face as she met Amelia's gaze.

Her eyes were hollow, her heart pounding nervously in her chest, but she had made her decision. Adam's grip tightened around the glass of scotch, his knuckles whitening as his eyes burned with uncontained anger. He stood frozen in the grand living area of his mansion, his gaze locked on the massive television mounted on the wall. The breaking news blared, a dagger twisting in his
