Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1458

Elysia said, “Jess thinks it’s weird too, but Janelle and Mr. Huber seem certain.”

Winona wondered aloud, “Do you think Keaton tricked them?”

Elysia replied, “But I don’t think Janelle and Mr. Huber are that easily fooled.”

Winona paused. “...Could it be because of Beatrix?”

“Huh?”

Winona explained, “Keaton told me yesterday that Alicia attacked me because of Beatrix…”

Winona recounted the whole story about Alicia and Beatrix, making both Elysia and Blossom frown.

Blossom said, “You really can’t judge a book by its cover. Looking at Beatrix, with her image and personality, no one would ever think she’d resort to such dirty tricks!”

Then, a thought struck Blossom. “Hey, do you think Mr. Huber might actually have a secret girlfriend, but she doesn’t want to go public? So he’s respecting her wishes and keeping it quiet to protect her?”

“Or maybe he’s planning to completely resolve things with Beatrix before making it public, so his new girlfriend won’t be targeted by her.”

Winona and Elysia exchanged a look. “...That actually makes sense.”

The three friends spent the morning chatting about Keaton, Beatrix, and his mysterious girlfriend.

In the afternoon, Winona had to go to the hospital to have her dressing changed.

Blossom went back to work, while Elysia went with her.

Mindful of Winona’s fame, they took a less-traveled path into the hospital, where they unexpectedly ran into Beatrix.

In a secluded corner, Mrs. Sutton slapped Beatrix hard across the face. “If anything happens to your sister, I’ll personally send you to prison! You just wait, you little bitch!”

“We all put up with you because of your marriage to the Huber family, but now they don't even want you! What do you have to be so proud of?!”

“How dare you hurt your sister! You little brat, we’ve spoiled you rotten!”

Growing angrier, Mrs. Sutton slapped Beatrix twice more. She spat a few more vicious warnings before storming off.
