Cordelia sounded confident and very much like the missus of the home.
Despite that, Michelle purposely wrapped her arms around Marcus’ neck and looked at her challengingly.
“Mrs. Hamerton, this is Yale Residence, so it’s Mr. Yale’s place, right? How is it right when the Hamertons prioritize courtesy and manners, but you make such a big fuss coming here with your cousin-in-law held down and teaching your husband a lesson?”
Cordelia paused before she chuckled. She only knew that Michelle had ulterior motives in the past but had not thought that she was so stupid!
“Ms. Carmichael, are you sure the person you’re hugging is my husband?”
Michelle froze. She looked at Marcus, but the latter avoided her gaze. She thought it was a normal reaction from the man. After all, which man would not panic when caught red-handed in their affair? Besides, was Cordelia trying to say that she would divorce him?
It would be even better in that case. There was a sense of triumph in Michelle’s expression. She got up and stood before Cordelia proudly. “Mrs. Hamerton, why the trouble? Zephyr’s heart isn’t with you anymore!
“He doesn’t even go back to your home and has been with me all this while!
“I’m the one taking care of him now that he’s injured too. I tend to his every need, but what have you done for him as his wife?”
Marcus was alarmed and went up to press Michelle’s shoulders.
“Don’t stop me!” Michelle held his arm. “Zephyr, let’s make things clear with Mrs. Hamerton here today! You love me, right?”
“Are you crazy!?” Marcus could no longer hold himself back.
“Zeph—”
“Michelle Carmichael, piss off!” Marcus kept shoving her away.
