Chapter 3

"Oh, really? Well, perhaps I am… But I will never be as shameless as a hussy who's a homewrecker…"

Only a few seconds later did Mia finally react to Leanna's calm clapback. With an awful expression, she raised her hand and intended on striking Leanna.

Yet, Leanna grabbed onto her wrist and gave her a tight slap in return. "The only reason why I kept my composure last time was because of Aidan's child that you've successfully carried. That's on you and I give you credit for that. But, that doesn't mean you get to brag about it in my face all the darn time. What, you think that being a mistress should be something to be proud of now?"

At that moment, the slap had gathered the attention of the bystanders.

Embarrassed yet still angry, Mia wanted to withdraw her hand from Leanna, but she could not seem to overpower her. Out of helplessness, she shouted in fury, "How dare you slander me like this! I'm not some mistress! You're the one who's been hogging the status of being his wife! Do you know how much Aidan hates you?"

"Don't you think your words lack a little sense? Regardless whether I'm hogging the status or not, I am still Aidan's legal wife. On that topic, I do have to thank you though, seeing how the baby in your womb is a perfect proof of his infidelity. Do you want to wager if I can win the lawsuit? I can even make him go bankrupt if you're interested in playing this game."

In utter disbelief, Mia stared back at her. "You wouldn't da—"

"Oh, I would."

Although it was at the height of summer, the masculine voice that suddenly came from behind Leanna sent shivers down her spine, making her feel like it was winter instead.

The stunned Leanna then let go of Mia's hand.

Mia, who immediately ran to Aidan's side, held her cheek that was still hot from the slap as tears were streaming down her pitiful face.

After taking a look at her, Aidan directed his gaze toward Leanna. With a cold piercing stare, he uttered emotionlessly, "Do you need my help to introduce a lawyer to you?"

Smirking in response, she replied, "I don't think so."

Are you kidding me? Where do I have the money to afford this lawsuit that will not only waste my time but also my strength?!

All she wanted was to scare Mia a bit.

Taking a step toward her, he lowered his head slightly and whispered, "So, this is what you meant in the divorce agreement? By leaving this marriage without a single penny?"

Leanna looked up only to see the undisguised mockery in his gaze, which instantly made her understand his words. "That's not it. I—" She tried to rebuke before getting interrupted.
