The Hidden Empress Stripping Her Secrets After Divorce novel Chapter 78

The color drained slightly from her face, but her gaze grew even sharper and colder. "You're having me followed?" she demanded, her voice kept low but dripping with icy venom.

"Me, following you?" Christian scoffed as if he had just heard a hilarious joke. The crimson in his eyes deepened, a volatile cocktail of the fury of a man scorned, public humiliation, and a chaotic dread he wholly refused to acknowledge. "Evelyn! Look at yourself! Face flushed red, burying yourself into another man's chest! Do you have zero shame? We're not even officially divorced yet! Are you that desperate to hop into the next bed? Or have you two been screwing around this entire time?"

His voice crescendoed, echoing down the empty corridor, causing several passing maids to freeze in their tracks. They exchanged shocked, fearful glances, too terrified to step any closer.

The pain in her wrist intensified. Evelyn could practically feel her bones groaning under the sheer, brutal pressure of his grip. Anger, mingling with the years of suffocated humiliation and the sheer absurdity of being baselessly accused right now, surged like molten lava through her freezing chest. She stared at the livid, spite-spewing man standing before her—the man she had called her husband for three years, a man who hadn't shown her an ounce of warmth or respect.

Suddenly, she was entirely done holding back.

"Shame?" Evelyn's lips curled into a glacial, mocking smirk that stood in eerie contrast to her pale but terrifyingly serene face. "You want to preach to me about shame, Christian?" She enunciated every single syllable, her words striking the floor like shattered ice. "Over the last three years, you've cycled through women like changing clothes. Do you want me to list them off name by name? From that B-list actress in your agency, to your partner's daughter, right down to your precious first love Lyra... Did the word 'shame' ever cross your mind while you were screwing them?"
