“It’s okay. I got you. They won’t do anything to you,” Hugh said as he gently pushed her off him. “Go on home first.”
He then hurried toward Bethan’s parents, reaching out to carry their things. “Vincent, Miranda, let me give you a ride.”
Vincent looked at him with clear displeasure. “No, thanks.” The elderly couple then stood hand in hand, Waiting for the crosswalk light to change.

Megan, still uneasy, followed behind. “Hugh, did your wife’s family misunderstand us again?”
Just then, a black luxury car slowly pulled up to the curb. Fiona and Gwen stepped out and headed straight toward Bethan’s parents.
Fiona swallowed her pride and spoke gently, “Oh, what a rare chance to run into you, Miranda. Let me give you a ride home.”
Miranda turned to glance at Hugh and Megan, her face cold as she refused. “That won’t be necessary, Mrs. Fiona Cavill.” With that, Miranda and Vincent crossed the street on foot.
Gwen turned back and saw Megan standing beside Hugh. Her jaw tightened with fury. “Mom, Hugh is standing here with that woman right in front of Bethan’s family.”

Fiona swung without hesitation, the slap landing with a loud snap. Megan cried out and darted into Hugh’s andrace.

Fiona’s face was heavy with letdown. “I’m teaching her a lesson!”
Gwen stepped up and yanked at Megan. “Bitch, what are you hiding from?”
Hugh clamped onto Gwen’s wrist, pushing her away with force.
She stomped her foot in frustration. “You betrayed Bethan for this woman, and now you’re pushing me away because of her, too? What on earth has she done to you?”
Hugh’s face darkened. “Gwen, stop making a scene!”
Fiona pulled Gwen back to her side and shot him a sharp look. “Let’s see, are you willing to turn your back on me, your own mother, just for her?”

Megan was completely powerless before Fiona. She didn’t even have the chance to speak. With Hugh and the bystanders watching, she dared not fight back or curse. All she could do was shrink away and beg for mercy.
At last, Fiona’s arm grew tired, and she released her grip. Megan collapsed to the ground, trembling, clutching her head as she broke down in tears.
Fiona jabbed a finger at Hugh and snapped, “Don’t you know? Six years ago, this woman took a sixty-million-dollar check from your grandfather, dumped you, and fled overseas overnight?”

Megan denied it at once. Tears streamed down her face as she crawled toward Hugh. “That’s not how it happened, Hugh. Please, let me explain.”
