One Insult, Two Goodbyes—Husband and Her Out

Worried that Lola might get hurt again, I didn't fight back too hard. Several fresh scratches now ran across my face.

Seeing that I was attacked, Lola ignored her own pain and fought back.

I seized the moment and slapped Kayla a few times.

Kayla couldn't handle both of us at once.

She screamed for the store manager. "Are you blind? Can't you see they're ganging up on me? Get over here and help!"

The manager froze. Her movements noticeably slowed when she met my sharp gaze.

"Julia Harris, have you lost your mind?" I snapped. "Don't forget who gave you Kayla's resume. Have you ever seen another boss besides me since you started working here?"

My words made Julia visibly nervous.

Kayla gradually stopped thrashing. She panted heavily. "Don't be ridiculous! This store belongs to Hayden. If it weren't his, I wouldn't even be here!"

"But, Mrs. Carter, Ms. Graham really was the one who gave me your resume," Julia said carefully.

When I first opened this boutique, many of my business partners' daughters applied because of the generous benefits.

I rejected them all simply because none of them had submitted proper credentials.

When Hayden sent Kayla's resume over, I hired her immediately.

The atmosphere grew heavy after Julia's revelation. She backed away, fear flickering in her eyes.

Kayla, on the other hand, widened her eyes. She sneered and said, "What did you just say? Oh, I get it!"

She let out a cold laugh. Then, catching me off guard, she shoved me into the clothing rack behind me.

"Tell me! Are you secretly seducing my husband?" she spat. "You bitch! You're a homewrecker!"

Julia's eyes lit up with sudden realization. "So that's it!"

Kayla snatched my handbag and hurled it to the floor. She was still fuming.

She stomped on it. "Hayden promised to get me this bag for my birthday. How did you end up with it? You must've seduced him into giving it to you! You're a homewrecker and a thief. You two sisters are alike!"

With Julia siding with Kayla, I struggled to protect Lola. Kayla took advantage of that and yanked my hair so hard I could hear strands tearing from my scalp.

Suddenly, the door burst open.

"Stop right there! Who's Winnie Graham? She called the police!"
