Mr. Sallow's Sinful Wife by Maisie Chasey

Chapter 107 Madelline Wants to Jump

Nicholas sneered, “Hah! You don’t know? You even have the nerve to claim ignorance.” He continued. “I thought we came to an understanding the last few days, Nancy. We decided to do our best with this marriage and continue our lives harmoniously. I told you I wouldn’t ask for a divorce or marry Madelline, so why won’t you let her go? Why must you resort to such a vicious

and heinous act?”

His words pierced Nancy’s heart like a dagger. She was utterly innocent, clueless about what she was accused of. What had she done wrong? Try as she might, she couldn’t find her voice to respond. It was a cruel irony.

Nancy had thought he returned to see her when she awoke from her nap, and she had eagerly rushed to him, full of joy. Instead, he had greeted her with accusations, taunts, and coldness. She forced a smile, her heart chilling, and asked, “Why do you describe me as heinous and vicious? What have I done, Nicholas?”

“What have I done?” Nicholas chuckled and said sarcastically, “After everything that happened, are you still asking me what you did?” He glanced at the bed before sneering, “My, my. You had such a relaxing time. After making all the arrangements, all you had to do was sit and wait for things to blow up. You even had the leisure to take an afternoon nap.” He added, “It’s getting harder and harder for me to understand you, Nancy.” He tossed his phone onto the bed. “Take a look. See for yourself the wonderful thing that you’ve done.”

She picked up the phone and saw Twitter inundated with photos of Madelline’s life abroad. She was in shock and disbelief, thinking, How is this possible? I’ve torn these photos to shreds. Mom and Dad had even promised to respect my decision. They wouldn’t have posted these pictures online. Who did it? Who set me up?

Twitter was ablaze with news about Madelline’s private life, and the photos were everywhere. Nancy frantically looked at Nicholas, wanting to explain. “Ni-”

However, he cut her off with a cold, unforgiving tone. “Are you trying to claim that you had nothing to do with it? That you’re innocent?”

“It truly wasn’t me. She vehemently shook her head.

He clenched his jaw, staring her down. “You were at the house at noon. Dad gave you those photos, and they were uploaded this afternoon. Do you honestly expect me to believe you had no involvement, Nancy?”
