The Wife He Forgot to Marry (Winona and Yule) novel Chapter 864

Mrs. Mallory knew that if she couldn't physically hurt Winona today, destroying her reputation would be a decent consolation prize. If her Maeve was suffering, Winona wasn't going to have a good time either.

The crowd instantly caught Mrs. Mallory's implication. None of them actually knew the timeline of when Winona and Stefan started dating. If what Mrs. Mallory was suggesting was true, was Winona the other woman? How scandalous.

Winona didn't care about the judgmental stares, but she absolutely refused to let this woman smear her name. Ignoring the whispers, her face hardened as she spoke with carrying clarity.

"When Stefan and I met, his engagement to Maeve had already been called off. Furthermore, after their breakup, Maeve relentlessly stalked Stefan and even orchestrated incidents that severely harmed my health. Her actions were criminal. Yet, I never pressed charges. I am the victim here, and now I'm being physically attacked by you. Tell me, Mrs. Mallory, is this the kind of upbringing your family prides itself on?"

Mrs. Mallory's ears rang with fury at Winona's sharp retort. Her husband Kieran Mallory had saved Stefan's life! Stefan belonged to Maeve! The Mallory family had never accepted the broken engagement!

Seeing Mrs. Mallory's unhinged stubbornness, Stefan's expression darkened into absolute zero. "I had intended to preserve the dignity of the Mallory family and Maeve. But since you are dead set on harming Winona, I'll tear that facade down right now. The reason our engagement was canceled had nothing to do with me doing Maeve wrong. It was because—"

"Shut up!" Mrs. Mallory screamed, her voice cracking. "Stefan Goddard, don't you dare spout lies!"
