Chapter 14
Lucy, enraged by my mention of calling the police, fumed, “You still have the nerve to call the police? Ev
if you didn’t post the video, this whole mess was caused by your fake. infertility test results.”
“You’ve brought us so much trouble–you owe us an apology!”
I finally understood why they were making a scene; it was all about money. I scoffed, “So, you came here to ask for money?”
Seeing my reaction, Sylvia quickly interjected, “Ask for money? This is all your scheme! You forced me to consider an abortion. I had no choice but to beg you, and you took advantage by demanding a divorce and insisting Jeffrey leave with nothing. We thought we’d pay to resolve it, but even after taking the money, you caused all this mess. So we’re demanding the money back.”
Before I could respond, laughter erupted from the office entrance as colleagues began commenting.
“She’s got to be kidding. Never seen a mistress so shameless.”
“Right? She forced herself in, then acted like the victim, saying the Director spied on them.”
“Claims she loves the man, not his money, yet here she is demanding cash. Hilarious.”
“I watched the video too. If she hadn’t boasted so much about her man’s ‘prowess,‘ no one
would’ve filmed it.”
Jeffrey looked stunned and asked urgently, “What’s this? Sylvia came to you? She wasn’t forced into an abortion?”
Sylvia stammered, “No, that’s not it. I didn’t-”
“Lady, there are cameras all over the office. Plus, we were all there. Want us to pull up the footage and our recordings?”
Jeffrey, seeing Sylvia’s guilty expression, realized she was lying. His pride wounded, he
angrily ordered everyone out and locked the office door.
