Seven Years of Marriage with Jake

Chapter 83

Chapter 4

In my previous life, Jessica's lies nearly drove me to the brink.

I was completely unaware of what was unfolding until Richard stormed in, furious. That was when I realized I was being blamed for something unimaginable.

I tried to explain, but Richard didn't give me a chance-he sent me straight to a harsh foreign environment.

This time, it's different. I have an alibi.

However, I was shocked when Richard hung up the phone immediately after Jessica spoke, slapped me hard, and yelled:

"You despicable woman! No wonder you were hiding Jessica's whereabouts- you caused her miscarriage!"

The slap left me stunned and reeling.

I stared at him, incredulous.

I knew Richard wasn't the sharpest; otherwise, Jessica wouldn't have been able to deceive him so easily.

But who would have thought he could be so foolish?

Given that I had been with him all the time, shouldn't he have at least verified with Jessica when it happened before accusing me?

Instead, he immediately blamed me without a second thought.

With Richard leading the charge, the crowd quickly joined in with their insults.

"I thought she was just greedy and immoral, but she's even worse!"
