Chapter 796
Peter’s wife originated from a wealthy family, and she was the woman that was legally married to the Zhivkovs. A ruthless man like Peter could not vent his anger on his wife, so it was only natural for his mistress to suffer.
Barbara picked up the cup of coffee and took a sip from it, but she looked expressionless. Maisie glanced at her. “Do you regret it?”
She was stunned for a split second and then stared down at the rich coffee in the cup. “I don’t feel regret. I only feel sad for her.”
“I once felt so for two people too.” Maisie picked up the pen on the table and fiddled with it. “I sometimes wonder if they would regret it if they were to know what would happen to them in the end.”
Barbara laughed. “Are the two people you mentioned the women who had a thing for Mr. Goldmann?” Maisie accidentally flung the pen out of her hand. She quickly covered it with her palm so that the pen would not fall from the table to the floor.
“Must you be so honest?” Maisie felt extremely embarrassed.
Barbara crossed her legs and leaned elegantly on the back of the couch. “Mr. Goldmann is indeed so charming that so many women are attracted to him. The problem is that they don’t even give a crap about his wife.”
Maisie rubbed her forehead. She once thought that Nolan was good in almost every aspect of life-the only downside was that he was extremely popular among the single ladies of Bassburgh. He would attract plentiful unwanted encounters whenever he left the house.
Putting the topic aside, Maisie asked suddenly, “By the way, is your father close with the leader of the Bouchers?”
Barbara shook her head. “I can’t say that they’re close. It’s just that they were colleagues who used to work together.”
Maisie realized out of the blue that the words that Mr. Boucher had said to Peter that night should be rather faceted. The Bouchers had only helped the Chases the other day because of Nolan.
Barbara received a text message on her cell phone all of a sudden. No one knew what the text message was about, but her face turned pale in an instant.
