I was likely t
his money belonged to Irvin. He had probably transferred it from his account to the one linked to the card. And considering that his money was now mine, there wasn’t much point in accepting it
As though guessing what I was thinking, Irvin quickly said, “I’m not helping Julianne pay you back. This money really is hers!”
Julianne shot me a murderous look as soon as he finished speakli Judging from her reaction, it appeared this money truly was Iver owIL
I raised an eyebrow in surprise. She was so money–minded. So, I was genuinely surprised she had willingly forked out what she awed me.
Before Irvin could say anything else, Julianne abruptly changed the tople, Pointing at Noah, she asked, “Who’s that man next to you, Mille? Is he the reason you’re so insistent on divorcing Irvin
She was implying
g that I was cheating on Irvin. It wasn’t surprising She had always been good at slitting blame onto others.
Irvin’s actions were why our relationship had reached this point. But it seemed she wanted to shift the fault onto my shoulders instead with her question.

“Who is this, Em
Irvin questioned.
He knew I always kept strict boundaries when interacting with the opposite sex. I never even allowed my male friends to carry my bag for me. Yet, here I was, allowing Noah to do just that.
I burst out in laughter at the reproachful tone behind his question
“Do you honestly think you have the right to question me about this, Irvin?” I shot back.

Before I could say anything, he proceeded to call her out “You’re canging to someone else’s husband and calling his name so affectionately. Then, you try to shift the blame onto Emi. Where do you find the nerve to do that? Have you always been this shameless?
Julianne had never been confronted so directly while in Irvin’s presence. She was so furious that she wanted to lash out, But remembering that Irvin was there, she latched onto his arm instead.
“Did you hear what he just said, Irvin?” she whined. “He’s being mean to me!
Irvin frowned and was about to speak, but before he could, Noah hugged my a
“Look, Emi! Look at this shameless, evil woman!” he said, mimicking Julianne’s overdramatic whining. “She’s so wicked, and yet she’s the first to complain about how she’s being treated!”
Noah’s antics amused me, and I couldn’t hold back my laughter.
