It was the first time that Sara had been slandered like this. Panicked, she straightened up, keeping her face and voice calm. "Lady, I really don't know who your husband is. You're mistaken. I didn't--"
"Are you for real?" Caroline interrupted, her voice as loud as ever. Caroline didn't expect Sara would still dare to defend herself. It made her even a lot angrier. "You really don't know who my husband is? Humph! How dare you lie to me! Maybe you don't remember him anymore because you've slept with so many other men?"
"Lady, please show some respect! You've gone too far. It's a crime to slander people like this. You are fabricating false information, assuming my personality and morals, and destroying my reputation! Defamation can earn you three solid years in jail. That's criminal detention, public surveillance or deprivation of political rights! Do you really want to go through all of that? I don't know you nor your husband! I have nothing to do with you both!" Sara said helplessly.
P County was remote and people there didn't receive a good education, so they admired those well-educated people. Although they didn't quite understand what Sara had just said, they felt that what she was talking about was quite persuasive.
At that moment, the people who were listening in to the two women suddenly started to doubt the authenticity of Caroline's claim. Would such a beautiful and graceful woman really seduce other people's husbands?
Everyone's eyes fell on Caroline. She was wearing a lot of gold and silver jewelry, and her purple dress stank with money. It was easy to guess what kind of person her husband was from her appearance!
"She seems very rich! Why would she seduce that woman's husband? Is that woman crazy?"
"I heard that the woman's daughter hit her daughter's head with a flower pot. I guess that the woman was afraid that the lady would ask her to pay for the compensation, so she started attacking her like this!"
Hearing that everyone was suddenly on Sara's side, Caroline got very angry. "Slander?" Caroline scoffed anxiously, "You're now claiming that I'm slandering you? Go call the cops and try to get me arrested then! I'm not afraid of you! You bitch! To refresh your memory, my husband is the director of the famous building factory in our county! Are you sure you didn't seduce my husband?"
When she heard the words "director of the building factory", a fat and plump face appeared in Sara's mind. She was stunned for a second. She did not expect that the woman in front of her was George Wang's wife.
Seeing that Sara was stunned, Caroline seized the chance and scolded, "Aha! Now you remember! I didn't slander you, did I! You bitch! You want to seduce my husband just because he is rich! I'm going to hit you so hard you wish you were never born!"
In one swift movement, Caroline raised her hand and reached out to grab onto Sara's hair.
"Stop!"
"Please stop!"
Two people cried out in unison.
The man with Sara suddenly appeared behind Caroline and caught her arm, pulling her back.
With his hand around her wrist, he pushed Caroline aside, putting himself right in between her and Sara. "Sara, are you hurt?" he asked, looking up and down at her anxiously.
When Wendy saw the middle-aged man look at her mother with such worried eyes, she felt her heart skip a beat.
"Who are you! Were you also seduced by this bitch? Do you want to act a hero to save the beauty?" roared Caroline. When Caroline managed to stand up, she saw the man and Sara snuggling together. The sight of them made her grit her teeth in fury.
Holding Sara's arm, Derek Xie looked back at Caroline. "Excuse me, but if you have any problems with this lady, please communicate your concerns in a better way," he said sternly. "This is a hospital. All this commotion is not good for the other patients here. From your behavior, I have some serious doubts on how well-educated you are."
