Remarriage Failed Again Today-Chapter 84: My Hits Hurt This Much, You’ll Have to Take It

Faye Sheffield shot her a contemptuous look. ’By saying this, I’m indirectly sucking up to Vivian Yates and her family,’ she thought. ’Everyone knows how much Leona Grant despises Annabelle Linton, so Leona won’t blame me for this. And of course, Vivian will take my side.’

A smug smile touched her lips as she finished. She then added pointedly, "I know it’s not my place to butt in, but sorry, I couldn’t help myself. I’m just a blunt person. You’ll just have to put up with me."

As Annabelle Linton listened, her expression instantly darkened, her eyes growing a hundred times colder than usual.

Her eyes were cold, deep, and still, like a vast, dark cosmos—impossible to fathom at a glance.

Her mother’s death, her father’s infidelity—these were wounds she could never move past, not in this life or even her last. For Faye Sheffield to bring it up now, in front of so many people, was no different from plunging a knife into her heart.

Everyone in the hospital room could feel the icy chill radiating from Annabelle Linton.

Leona Grant, watching from the side, couldn’t help but feel a tremor of shock.

SLAP!

Annabelle Linton landed a vicious slap across Faye Sheffield’s face, her eyes as cold as a bottomless abyss. "I may not have a mother, but it’s obvious yours didn’t raise you right! If you know it’s not your place to speak, then you should keep your mouth shut. Since you can’t control your own tongue, don’t blame others for not being courteous to you!

Watch your filthy mouth next time. Stop buzzing around like a disgusting fly, desperate for attention. It’s sickening. The only reason I never bothered with you before is because I saw you as nothing more than a dog. Did you really think I’d let you keep yapping in my face forever?"

She finished, rubbing her tingling palm. Then, mimicking Faye’s earlier words, she said, "I know stooping to the level of something like you is beneath me, but sorry, I couldn’t help myself. That’s just how much it hurts when I hit someone. You’ll just have to endure it."

"You hit me?"

Faye Sheffield clutched her reddening cheek, stunned for several seconds before she finally processed what had happened.

She never imagined that Annabelle Linton, who had always been so gentle and quiet, would actually strike her in front of everyone. She shrieked like a madwoman, "Annabelle Linton, you bitch, how dare you hit me?!"

In a frenzy, she lunged toward Annabelle Linton, raising her hand high to retaliate.

Annabelle glanced at her coolly, then shot out a hand and seized her by the wrist.

"Ah!" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Annabelle squeezed viciously, pressing a pressure point on her wrist. Faye felt a pain so sharp it was as if her hand were about to break. Her face contorted, and she let out an unending stream of agonized cries.

During her four years abroad, she had been all alone, forced to learn many skills to survive. Back when she had to work in a bar, she’d run into too many people with ill intentions, so Aaron Wyatt had taught her martial arts for four full years.

As a result, she could hold her own against your average person.

"Get out."

Annabelle released her hand with a backward yank and said calmly.

Her detached voice was completely flat, yet it made one feel as if an icy wind were howling through the room.

Faye had been struggling, so when Annabelle suddenly let go and gave her a sharp tug, she lost her balance. She stumbled forward, crashing right onto the coffee table and into several cups of hot tea, letting out a series of pathetic yelps.

Annabelle didn’t even deign to give her a second glance, turning her cold gaze on Mrs. Yates instead.

Everyone in the room, except for Annabelle, was now staring at Faye Sheffield.

The gazes from all around were a complex mixture of contempt, indifference, disdain, and even disgust. But there was no sympathy.

Vivian Yates stared speechlessly at the brainless moron on the floor. ’She’s absolutely disgusting!’ she thought.

’No matter what, Annabelle Linton is still Leona Grant’s legal wife. For Faye to air her dirty laundry in front of everyone like this, how is that supposed to make Leona look?’

’Besides, they aren’t even divorced yet! So where does she get off talking about Annabelle ’resorting to tricks’?!’
