My Husband Froze My Card on My Birthday novel Chapter 2

To completely humiliate me, Chris stood up, a cold gaze sweeping across the room.

“Anyone who dares to help Emilia out of this mess is my enemy, and someone who’s going against the

Stevens family.”

Everyone knows the Stevens family is the wealthiest in Boston. No one dares to offend Chris.

Originally, a few of my close business partners were about to stand up and help me resolve this issue.

But as soon as they heard Chris‘ words, they quickly sat back down, fearing he would notice their actions.

“Did you see that? Mr. Stevens is serious this time.”

“Seems like he cares more about his secretary than his own wife!”

“I thought, since they’re legally married, he’d just be angry for a moment. But this looks real.”

“With him threatening like this, who would dare help Emilia now?”

My anger surged beyond control. I stormed over, grabbed Chris’s arm, and glared at him. “Chris, are you

really going to humiliate me for some conniving little gold–digger?”

Chris sneered and slapped me across the face.

“Smack!”

“That’s right!”

I couldn’t believe it as I turned back to look at him.

We’d been married for three years, always known for being a loving couple. He had pursued me when I first

came to Boston.

On our wedding day, he swore to love me forever, to be loyal and never betray me, to love me with his life

Once a younger, prettier mistress enters his life, then your luxurious life as the wife of a wealthy man is over.

But Chris didn’t know that when I married him, it wasn’t for his wealth, but because I loved him.

“You knew very well how much I cared for Cora, yet you chose to cause a scene anyway.”

“Emilia, if you can’t pay the bill, I’ll have the manager strip you and make you walk out of the restaurant

naked.”

At these words, the whole room erupted into laughter, their gazes filled with mockery and greed as they

stared at me.

“Chris really goes all out for his new favorite, doesn’t he? Making his own wife strip and run out naked…”

“No kidding.”

“Won’t be his wife much longer, by the looks of it. After tonight, Emilia will be nothing but a stranger.”

“Hahaha, let’s just watch quietly. The show’s just getting started!”

The middle–aged rich men watched me with amusement and mockery.

“I’m truly curious to see if she has a body to be proud of. Hahaha!”

My face was burning with shame.

Before we left home, Chris had taken all my cards, lulling me into a false sense of security.

Now, aside from the expensive haute couture dress I was wearing, I had nothing of value left on me–no way

to pay the bill at all.

To make matters worse, my phone had conveniently run out of battery.

That was when it truly sank in: every detail of this humiliation had been carefully planned by Chris.
