Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1794

Spotting the commotion, Mr. Miller and Mr. Sewell scrambled over.

Seeing their husbands arrive, Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Sewell threw themselves at the men, wailing in grievance.

"Honey, she hit me!"

"She attacked me too!"

"It wasn't just us she was slapping! She completely disrespected the Miller and Sewell families!"

Neither Mr. Miller nor Mr. Sewell were decent men. They both had strings of mistresses and felt no real love for their wives.

However, their wives represented their public standing. Having them assaulted in front of the city's elite was a massive blow to their egos.

Scowling, both men glared at Janelle with open hostility.

"What the hell is the meaning of this?!"

Tarquin Bradford stepped forward smoothly, silently positioning himself right beside Janelle.

He didn't say a word, his expression entirely unreadable, but the message was crystal clear: he was backing her up.

Nobody was going to bully Janelle while Keaton and Richard were away.

Instantly intimidated, Mr. Miller and Mr. Sewell dropped their aggressive fronts, forcing awkward smiles.

"Mr. Bradford... Mrs. Huber. What seems to be the problem here?"

Janelle's voice was frigid.

"They claimed Winona was sleeping around. They said the child she's carrying isn't a Huber, but some random bastard!"

The surrounding crowd murmured, expressions turning sour.

"The paternity test was already verified. They're just spreading malicious rumors! They practically asked to be slapped!"

"Good for Mrs. Huber. A couple of slaps is getting off easy. She should have knocked them out!"

"They're always whispering about other people having no class. Turns out, they're the classless ones!"

"Classic miserable behavior. They can't stand seeing someone else happy. They're just jealous of her!"

"Wait, didn't they just say earlier that the Hubers were cursed to die out, and that they'd kill themselves if a Huber heir was born?"

"Yeah, I heard that! They both said it!"

"Well? Go ahead, do it!"

It wasn't just the women talking either. Some of the male executives chimed in.

"The Millers and the Sewells really married a pair of nightmares."
