The Daring Billionaire’s Wife by Lypstical

Chapter 60

Vanessa

As the hotel tea burns Carmella, she attempts to scramble to her feet while screaming in agony but doesn’t even manage to get out of her chair. Instead, it falls backwards and she falls along with it, the staff instantly rushing to her.

I’m so taken by surprise that I’m unable to focus on Mia until she speaks.

“Vanessa? What’s going on there?”

‘Til call you back,” I say to her, quickly ending the call

Just as the others try to help Carmella, she aggressively pushes them away and yells, “Don’t touch me! All of you stay away from me!

“Calm down. They’re just trying to help, I step in

She shoots me a glare while trying to deal with the burning sensation. “If it’s you, just mind your own business because you did this to me!

“What? Me?” My jaw drops.

“Yes, you did this on purpose!”

“You can’t be serious right now. I don’t even know what you’re talking about.

“I fucking hate this right now!” She tries to get off the floor, her breaths quick and short.

Once again, they try to help her but she pushes everyone away

“Just bring me some cold water from the fucking table!”

At this point, I don’t even want to deal with her madness, so I call Mia back.

“Hey, what was that about?” she asks with curiosity.

“Nothing to worry about. It was just someone who’s staying over. Now, as I was saying, I met Patrick Kentworth yesterday. You won’t believe what he told me.”

As I start walking out, I notice Carmella trying to get up while elongating her neck in my direction. What the hell is going on with her?

I might’ve felt bad for her but on second thought, she deserved it. I wonder how she was so careless. And what part did I have to play in this when she said it was my fault? At this point, I’m certain she’s crazy. That’s why I shouldn’t pay her any

attention.

After my call with Mia is cut short because she has something important to take care of get myself ready to work on the business ideas I came up with after being inspired at the women’s conference.

I make rough drafts on some papers, then look up a few possible business directions online and when I look at the time, it’s already two hours.

While I’m in the living room, one of the butlers tells me that Carmella’s been in her bedroom ever since she got burned and she keeps screaming at everyone who attends to her.

As I hold up one of the documents I printed out, Dominic finally returns home and he actually looks exhausted.
