Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 1140:

Just a few paces back, Heidi could barely stand to watch. The moment Norton referred to Yvonne as his wife, it struck her like a bolt of lightning.

Yvonne—his wife? She was actually Norton’s wife.

Shelly had intentionally pushed her to go after Yvonne, knowing full well it would be her undoing.

And all those sweet promises to help her get her job back? Nothing but poison-laced lies.

Fingers tightening around the broom handle, Heidi trembled with rage. Her eyes lit with fury as she hissed under her breath, “Shelly, you played me like a fool.”

Her voice dripped with spite as she cast a nervous glance at Norton and Yvonne up ahead. Realizing the futility of her scheme to tail and sabotage Yvonne, she gave up and walked away.

She exited the mall and made her way back to her gloomy, cramped apartment. There, she broke down completely—shrieking Shelly’s name in a fit of rage, spewing every vile curse she could think of as her emotions unraveled.
