Mr Melendez,Your Wife Wants Divorce Long ago novel Chapter 377

**Chapter 377**

Arabella took a step back, her heart racing as she replied, “That’s really not necessary, Mrs. Caldwell. It’s just a lipstick stain; a simple tissue won’t help.” The urgency in her voice was palpable, an instinctive desire to escape the situation.

Seizing the moment, Linda latched onto Arabella’s arm with an unexpected fierceness. “Dr. Palmer,” she insisted, her tone dripping with faux concern, “both you and Ms. Walton are esteemed guests of the Caldwell family. Since Ms. Walton has generously offered to cover the full cost of the gown, let me escort you to a place where you can change into something clean.”

Arabella felt a wave of frustration wash over her. All she wanted was to distance herself from these two women and their theatrics. “No, thank you,” she said firmly, attempting to withdraw her arm.

But Linda’s grip tightened, an unspoken command that made Arabella’s pulse quicken. “Dr. Palmer, there’s really no need to be so formal with me,” she said, her voice deceptively sweet.

A sharp pain shot through Arabella’s arm, a jolt that ignited her instincts. With a sudden force, she yanked her arm away.

In a shocking turn of events, Linda lost her balance, her scream echoing through the hallway as she stumbled towards the restroom entrance.

On the ground, one hand braced against the floor while the other clutched her belly, Linda looked up at Arabella, her face contorted in agony. “Dr. Palmer,” she gasped, “even if I am Georgina’s aunt, I have never done anything to offend you. If you hold a grudge against Georgina, how could you be so cruel as to push a pregnant woman?”

The revelation of her relationship with Georgina hung in the air like a heavy fog, as if Linda had just dropped a bombshell, accusing Arabella of acting out of spite.

Olivia, sensing the shift in the crowd, jumped in with a dramatic flair. “Dr. Palmer, Georgina has already endured so much suffering because of you. And now, you won’t even spare her family? You knew Aunt Linda was pregnant, yet you deliberately pushed her! It seems you were trying to make Aunt Linda miscarry out of revenge against the Carrillo family!”

The atmosphere shifted as Georgina’s brother and sister-in-law joined the fray, their voices rising in indignation. “That Palmer woman! You knew Aunt Linda is carrying the Caldwell family’s only grandson, yet you viciously pushed her down, hoping to cause her to miscarry! Our Carrillo family may not be powerful, but you can’t just disregard the Caldwell family like that!”

The crowd, fueled by Olivia and the others, turned their collective gaze towards Arabella, their expressions a mix of anger and disbelief.

Linda moaned, clutching her stomach, and cried out in pain, her voice cutting through the tension like a knife. A nearby maid, panic-stricken, rushed downstairs to summon help.

Arabella found herself trapped, the crowd encircling her like a pack of wolves, demanding to see the security footage.

Arabella could no longer contain her frustration. “Mrs. Caldwell, are you a mind reader? How could you possibly know my thoughts better than I do?” she shot back, her voice rising with indignation.

With a calmness that was almost chilling, Linda replied, “Dr. Palmer, there are security cameras in the hallway. If I’m fabricating this story, I will publicly apologize to you in front of everyone.”

Before she could finish her sentence, Olivia interjected, her voice sharp and accusatory. “Dr. Palmer, we all witnessed you push Mrs. Caldwell. Don’t even think about denying it!”

The crowd erupted in a chorus of accusations, clamoring for the security footage to be displayed.

Mr. Caldwell, sensing the mounting tension, immediately ordered someone to retrieve the video evidence.

With his gaze fixed on Arabella, he warned, “Dr. Palmer, if that footage shows you intentionally pushed my wife to cause her to miscarry, I assure you, I will not let you walk away unscathed, even if you are a guest of Mr. Zachary!”
