Spoiled my CEO husband after Rebirth novel Chapter 83

"Miss Evans, I'm so sorry. We didn't know who you were. For earlier... we've offended you. I'm really sorry."

It was embarrassing to be talking about someone behind their back and simultaneously being overheard by their very subject of gossip.

"What happened?"

Gretchen walked over and smiled at that staff member. "Are you bullying my sister?"

"No, no, Miss Evans. There was just... a misunderstanding."

Gretchen put on a benevolent act of defending her sister. "I'll have you know that even though my sister is good-tempered, she is not someone you can just bully. Because I will be the first to object to such treatment."

The staff member awkwardly wiped away some sweat. "Yes, yes, yes. You're right, Miss Evans. We won't do it again."

Gretchen nodded with satisfaction. "It's good that you know your mistake..."

"Was there something you wanted, Gretchen?"

Gwenda spoke up with displeasure as she gazed at her stepsister coldly.

Stunned, Gretchen immediately morphed her face into one of grievance. "Sis, why are you so fierce..."

"Are we really close to each other?"

Gwenda refused to do Gretchen any favours as a mocking smile appeared on her face. "Don't act as if we're very close to each other. And what's with this stunt of trying to stand up for me? Are you trying to prove that you're more capable than your loser of a sister?"

"I wasn't trying to do anything."

Gretchen lowered her head as if she was hurt and her eyes became bloodshot. "I just wanted to help you out."

"Oh, help me? How kind of you."

Gwenda's words were heavy with sarcasm.

"Why won't you forgive me, sis..."

Gretchen suddenly became choked up from perceived distress.

Nearby, the staff member was feeling terribly awkward.

What the hell was going on?

Why did she start crying out of nowhere?

Gwenda was no longer surprised by Gretchen's act as she was used to it and her expression remained bland.

However, Hattie, who was next to Gwenda, could no longer hold it in. "Come on! Miss Evans, you're a terribly odd person, aren't you? How is this situation any of your business? Gwenda's only said a few words to you and you're crying as if she's bullied you or something. What are you trying to do?"
