The Wife He Forgot to Marry (Winona and Yule) novel Chapter 346

"You absolute idiot!"

The force of the blow knocked Tallulah's head to the side, a thin trail of blood instantly welling up at the corner of her mouth.

She looked up at Camille, tears welling in her eyes, playing the perfect victim. "Camille, why did you hit me?"

Yulen rushed over, grabbing Camille's arm before she could strike again. "What is wrong with you?" he demanded angrily. "You can't hit her! She's heavily pregnant. She can't handle this kind of stress!"

Camille let out a harsh, mocking laugh. "Oh, she's fragile and can't handle stress? Well, can the Locke Group handle it?! If she wants to get into petty squabbles with Winona, fine, I don't care. But she had no right to jeopardize our entire company by pulling a stunt this spectacularly stupid!"

"What are you talking about?" Yulen stared at her, completely lost.

Tallulah grabbed Yulen's sleeve in a panic, terrified that Camille's words would turn him against her.

Camille sneered. "Those viral videos accusing Winona of animal cruelty? Your precious Tallulah paid someone to make them. Does she have any idea that the Locke Group invested heavily in that very project?! Did it ever cross her empty head how many millions we'd lose if that project went under?

"And now that the truth is out, the Goddard Group is going to assume we were the ones sabotaging them behind the scenes. They're going to terminate our contract, force us to pay massive penalty fees, and blacklist us from ever working with them again. Did this useless piece of trash think about *any* of those consequences?!"

Yulen stood there, totally stunned.

He slowly turned to look at Tallulah, disbelief written all over his face. "You're the one who framed Winona?"

He had suspected plenty of people, but never Tallulah.

He knew she was jealous, sure, but he genuinely believed she would never stoop to hurting Winona like that.

He hadn't realized she was this malicious.

Tallulah openly wept, desperately trying to defend herself. "No, Yulen, I never meant to hurt Winona! My mother manipulated me into doing it. I wasn't thinking straight!"

Watching her cry so pathetically, Yulen's resolve began to waver.

Camille watched him in disgust. "Does it even matter who framed Winona right now? Yulen, start using your brain. How do we mitigate the financial fallout for the company?"

A crisis of this magnitude had just hit them, and her idiot brother was still distracted by his mistress's tears. She wanted to strangle him.
