Chapter 150:

Melinda, overcome with anger and frustration, tried to confront the woman once more, causing quite a commotion in Dean’s office.

Curious employees peeked from the doorway, yet none ventured closer.

Dean had reached his limit. Watching Melinda unravel like this filled him with embarrassment. He yanked her away and shouted, “Enough! How long will you keep this up?”

Melinda’s hair was a mess, her face streaked with tears.

Feeling utterly betrayed, Melinda glared at Dean. “I’ve been by your side, supporting you through it all. Haven’t I sacrificed enough? Why are you doing this to me? Dean, what do you want from me? Are you pushing for a divorce?”

Dean massaged his temples. “Let’s discuss this at home. You’re not in the right frame of mind now. I’ll arrange for someone to drive you home.”

Melinda shook her head defiantly. “No, I want answers now! You have two choices. Fire her, or I’ll take our child and move back to my parents’ house for good.”

Melinda thought she could intimidate Dean, but he merely chuckled dismissively.

Wrapping his arm around the waist of the woman, Dean smirked at Melinda and said, “Leave as you please.”

Then, Dean strode away with the woman.

Melinda remained rooted to the spot, utterly dumbfounded, nearly collapsing from the shock.

Elsewhere, in stark contrast to the chaos of that scene, Kallie experienced a tranquil moment as she escaped from the hospital.
