**Chapter 517 p>
“You dare to call that being unrelated? Do you genuinely expect anyone to buy into that ridiculous claim?” Autumn’s voice dripped with disdain, her anger boiling just beneath the surface as she gritted her teeth. “You maintained your loyalty to your precious old flame for three long years, and the moment she decides to waltz back into your life, she moves right into your home? And you have the audacity to claim you two were innocent? Do you think people are that gullible p>
Autumn’s heart raced as she recalled the sacrifices Selena had made. “Selena severed ties with her family for you, you know! She even went behind the scenes, begging her brother to lend a hand to your struggling business—all for you and your pathetic pride. And now that you’ve finally scraped together some cash, you look down on her? It took her leaving for you to realize your empire was crumbling and your company was on the brink of collapse. And now you cling to her like a lifeline while dragging her name through the mud? Are you even a real man p>
The thought of what Selena had endured made Autumn’s blood boil. The urge to confront the despicable man surged within her—a fierce desire to shake him until he understood the gravity of his actions. How dare he twist the narrative and play the victim? He deserved nothing less than to be exposed for what he truly was.
Her words echoed through the crowd like a thunderclap. In a world where justice still had its champions, the atmosphere crackled with tension.
People had little tolerance for homewreckers; women, in particular, were merciless. The moment Autumn branded Sophie as the mistress, a wave of hostile glares washed over her.
“Oh my God, she’s the mistress? No wonder she had the audacity to act so shamelessly. I honestly thought she was the legitimate girlfriend. You really can’t judge a book by its cover,” one woman whispered, shaking her head in disbelief.
“This poor girl! She used her family’s hard-earned resources to secure a place for them, pinching pennies all the while, and now the mistress moves in first? It’s shocking that this guy even thought he could get away with that,” another added, her voice laced with indignation.
“The jerk actually played the victim card, accusing this girl of jealousy and infidelity. I bet those two have been sleeping together for ages,” a man chimed in, his tone filled with contempt.
“If I ever found out that the bed I bought was shared with a mistress and my boyfriend, I would absolutely lose it. We stand by this girl. Keep your distance from trash like them p>
Derek had intended to pull Selena away from the chaos, but the rising tide of voices made him hesitate.
Selena, fueled by rage, stood up and plopped down forcefully on top of Sophie, her eyes blazing with fury. In one swift motion, she raised her hand and slapped Sophie hard across the face.
“I’m going to teach you what it means to be the other woman! I’ll show you not to act so brazenly in my presence! And I’ll make sure you know better than to bring your sleazy jerk here to provoke me p>
“Derek and I ended things quietly,” she continued, her voice steady but fierce. “I gave you your chance, yet you still can’t seem to stop chasing after me like a pest. Do you really think I’m someone you can just walk all over? And you genuinely believe Derek is your big win? Without me, he’s nothing p>
Her hand came down again and again, each slap landing with a resounding crack, leaving Sophie’s face swollen and bruised.
Sophie, caught in a whirlwind of shock, could barely muster a response. Whether it was fury or fear that left her trembling, she was at a loss for words.
But Selena wasn’t finished. Rising to her feet, she delivered a few swift kicks to Sophie’s stomach, each impact fueled by a mix of anger and vindication.
Derek stood frozen in disbelief, utterly stunned. He hadn’t anticipated Selena would unleash such ferocity. Where had the gentle, obedient version of Selena gone?
Finally, Sophie began to process the humiliation. Clutching her battered face, she wailed, “Derek, call the police! Arrest this bitch! I want her thrown in jail p>
The depth of her shame was unbearable; she had never experienced such public humiliation. How could she ever show her face again with her features marred like this?
In the aftermath of the explosive confrontation, the air hung heavy with a mix of triumph and despair. Autumn watched as Selena, no longer the submissive figure she once was, emerged from the chaos as a fierce warrior fighting for her dignity. The crowd, once uncertain, had rallied behind her, their collective disdain for betrayal echoing through the space. It was a moment of catharsis, not just for Selena, but for all those who had ever felt the sting of betrayal. Autumn felt a sense of pride swell within her; Selena had reclaimed her narrative, transforming her pain into a powerful declaration of self-worth. The world may have turned a blind eye to her suffering before, but now, she was undeniably seen.
Yet, amidst the fervor, the reality of the situation loomed large. Derek’s shocked expression revealed the cracks in his facade, the weight of his choices crashing down on him like a tidal wave. As Selena stood tall, a force of nature, the consequences of their tangled past began to unravel the fabric of their shared history. The victory felt bittersweet; while justice had been served in the form of a fierce stand against betrayal, the road ahead was fraught with uncertainty. Would Selena find healing after this cathartic release, or would the scars of this moment linger? Autumn hoped that, regardless of the outcome, both women would emerge from the ashes of this turmoil stronger and more resolute, ready to reclaim their lives and redefine their futures under the stars that had once forgotten their wishes.
