The air seemed to have frozen when Vicky spoke, leaving only the faint sounds of the kettle wheezing while the water boiled.
After a few moments of silence, Bella smiled. "So, you've figured it out, huh?"
Vicky stared at Bella and asked, "May I know how I offended you, Miss Thompson?"
Bella, no longer hiding her intentions, replied, "Back then, as soon as Harvey was imprisoned, you couldn't wait to break off your engagement with him and marry someone else. You tried to reel him back in after your divorce and made him stay single for so many years! Once you found a better option, you simply discarded him!" Her gaze bore into Vicky's, cold and venomous.
"A despicable person like you deserves a good lesson," Bella continued.
The way this woman looked at her seemed oddly familiar to Vicky, so realization hit her in an instant. "It's you!"
Years ago, when she and Harvey had first been engaged, a woman constantly pestered him, even teaming up with Harvey's sister to make trouble for Vicky. At that time, she had not paid much attention to this, even though she suffered a few times.
She just remembered that the woman who persistently pursued Harvey had been one of his ardent admirers and that Harvey had found her extremely annoying.
Bella sneered. "Ms. Shaw, have you finally remembered?"
