Chapter 4

With that, Nadine strutted out of the restroom.

Josephine felt a sharp pang in her chest, causing her to stumble backward. She leaned against the sink, barely managing to stay on her feet.

She had trusted Zayn!

Yet, the dress he got her turned out to be nothing more than a complimentary gift. She had even treated it so well.

Just then, a few women approached her.

"Isn't this Mrs. Forbes? Have you recovered from your cold?"

"That's right, Mrs. Forbes. You're so lucky. You merely caught a cold, yet Mr. Forbes called in ten specialists to treat you. If it were me, I could be on my deathbed, and my husband still wouldn't bother calling a single doctor." "Comparing our life to yours, we're truly missing out."

The women sighed before walking away.

Josephine turned to look at herself in the mirror and smiled bitterly.

She had already decided to leave him, yet upon hearing Nadine's words, she still couldn't help but feel hurt.

She walked out of the restroom, but couldn't find Zayn anywhere. Just as she was about to head back to the banquet hall alone, she passed by a corner and accidentally caught sight of two figures through the crack of a door. "Babe, stop it. Everyone's still waiting for us in the banquet hall!"

Zayn tried to peel Nadine's hands away, but she simply leaned in and kissed him.

Zayn paused before eventually giving in to the kiss.

Seeing them locking lips, Josephine turned around and left.

She didn't return to the banquet hall, but instead called a cab and returned to Forbes residence.

Josephine had just made it to the entrance when she received a call from Zayn.

"Honey, where did you go? I've been looking everywhere for you."

Josephine said coldly, "I wasn't feeling too well and decided to come home." Zayn immediately asked in concern, "Are you okay? I'm coming back right now."

Before Josephine could reply, he hurriedly ended the call.

It was as if he was going to appear right in front of her at the very next second.

Just as she was about to enter the villa, Josephine's phone rang once more. This time, it was from an unknown number.
