Breaking Point of Divorce (Hugh and Bethan) novel Chapter 156

Chapter 156 If You Think She Was Wrong

Everyone exchanged awkward glances.

Robert looked at Hugh with obvious curiosity. “Hugh, do you two know each other?”

Hugh turned his head toward Bethan.

Bethan stared straight ahead, deliberately ignoring his

gaze.

If Hugh wasn’t going to speak, she wasn’t either.

Hugh was the heir to the Cavill family, New York’s most powerful dynasty. Only a handful of women, including Fiona, could get away with calling him by his first name in public.

When Megan called him Hugh so casually in front of everyone, even with Bethan as a buffer, people could read between the lines, even if neither would admit anything was happening.

nowhere to hide her embarrassment.

She’d pulled every string she could to get an invitation to the Huvale Group annual gala. This was supposed to be her moment-she’d planned to impress Hugh with her abilities and make him see her in a new light.

She never imagined he’d act like she didn’t exist.

Her gaze shifted to Bethan, and something calculating flickered in her eyes.

Megan lifted her head and walked straight up to Bethan confidently, greeting her warmly. “Mrs. Cavill, what a coincidence running into you here.”

Bethan stood beside Hugh calmly, deliberately ignoring Megan’s attempt at conversation.

She could feel Hugh’s grip on her hand tightening involuntarily.

Bethan tried to subtly pull her hand free without making it obvious.

They stood side by side, hands clasped, looking Perfecf150

harmonious on the surface while secretly engaged in a silent battle of wills underneath.

Bethan knew that Hugh was being cold to Megan in public to protect her.

Megan was eager to put on this public performance because she was desperate to make her relationship with Hugh known to everyone.

A love where both people were equally invested was rare and enviable.

Bethan decided to give them a little push.

She turned to Megan with a sweet smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “I’m sorry, but you seem awfully familiar with my husband. Should I know you two from somewhere?”

Megan’s gaze darted to Hugh, and whatever she saw in his expression made her face pale. His jaw was set, his eyes dark as storm clouds.

“Oh no, Mrs. Cavill, you must have misheard me,” Megan stammered, practically tripping over her words.

Bethan tilted her head, all innocence. “Hugh, did I mishear something?” Her voice was light, but there was

steel underneath.

The silence stretched between them. Hugh’s eyes never left Bethan’s face, something unreadable flickering there.

“If you think she was wrong,” he said finally, “then she was wrong.”

The guests around them couldn’t help but laugh out loud, their eyes full of contempt as they stared at Megan.

Megan stood before everyone, humiliated and not daring to make a sound.

Usually, Hugh would give her almost anything she asked for when she opened her mouth.

She never expected that tonight, in front of all these people, he would protect his wife so fiercely and let everyone mock her like this.

Megan swallowed her pride and made herself as small as possible. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Cavill. I’ll watch what I say next Anfe and won’t cause any more misunderstandings!” 16:50

The moment Megan finished speaking, she turned and walked away without waiting for Bethan to respond.

She barely made it two steps before Mason blocked her path.

Mason looked Megan up and down with disdain. “Mr. Davis, when did Huvale Group’s annual gala start lowering its standards?”

Before Frank could respond, Mason added, “Even some random internet influencer can attend Huvale Group’s annual gala now. I thought I’d walked into the wrong event.”

Frank saw what was happening and quickly ordered his people, “Get this woman out of here. Now.”

Seeing the situation unfold, Megan instinctively moved closer to Hugh for protection.
