My Cheating Wife's Dare Births a New Romance

"Ms. Stuart! I… I didn't mean to cause any problems. Mr. Lockwood must've had too much to drink, so that's why he… I never meant to ruin your relationship!" Cindy cried out.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Zach flashed a mocking smile. He reached out and jabbed Cindy hard in the shoulder with his finger. "Didn't you hear what Ms. Stuart just said, you ungrateful slut?

"You're fired. Get back to the office and pack your things at once. Don't forget to come to the company tomorrow to process your resignation. But if you're willing to testify that Simon sexually harassed you, I might consider not blacklisting you from the industry."

My eyes narrowed.

"I had no idea, Zach—since when did a mere assistant like you get to have so much say in not just Stuart Group but the entire industry as well?"

I pulled Cindy behind me and reassured her, "Don't worry. As long as I'm here, nobody can touch you."

Zach immediately snorted jeeringly. "Are you serious? A pathetic freeloading leech like you?"

I nodded and looked at him calmly. "If you don't believe me, go ahead and test me."

Zach glanced at Whitney behind him, and she jerked her chin, as if commanding a dog.

"Fine. I shall see exactly how you plan to protect this woman!"

Chuckling, I remarked, "Sorry, but I'm not like you. I don't need to rely on a woman."

"Get a load of this guy. Here he is acting all high and mighty, but he's just a worthless dog living off the Stuart family!"

"He's nothing but the Stuart family's freeloading son-in-law, yet he still has the nerve to mock Mr. Green? He's just setting himself up for humiliation."

"You're right about that. Every single one of us here today has earned our place. He's the only one who's leeching off his wife, so what makes him think he can look down on others? Hahaha!"

I calmly cut in, "Sorry to interrupt, but it's not that I look down on Zach."

Zach scoffed mockingly. "Oh? Finally coming back to your senses, are you? Well, if you get on your knees and lick my shoes clean right now—"

I held up a finger and wagged it disapprovingly, cutting him off. "Nope. That's not what I'm saying. I just wanted to clarify that I treat all of you equally—I look down on every single one of you in this room."
