Flash Marriage With Mr. Sheffield: Go Away, Cheap Man!-Chapter 195: Today Is a Good Day
Clara Sterling hadn’t seen Anabelle Spencer and Lisa Holloway for over a month.
Knowing she was back in Veridian, Anabelle called to ask her out for shopping.
The mall was bustling with weekend crowds.
The air conditioning carried the cloying scent of perfumes and desserts.
Anabelle was carrying her newly bought handbag, leaning over Lisa’s phone screen discussing a newly opened trendy restaurant.
"Clara, this new western restaurant is pretty good. Want to give it a try?" Lisa handed the phone to Clara Sterling, "You’ve just been discharged, so you should watch your diet. Steak and a vegetable salad would be suitable for you."
"Sure." Clara nodded.
Lily Holloway said, "Then let’s go there for lunch today."
The three of them walked side by side, leisurely heading towards the restaurant.
Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead, and the crowd was in a stir.
"What’s happening up there? It’s so noisy, and there’s a big crowd gathered." Lisa Holloway craned her head but couldn’t see anything.
"Sounds like someone is arguing." Clara said.
"Let’s go check it out." Lisa Holloway wanted to join the excitement.
Clara slightly frowned, "Better not. It’s not wise to get involved in such chaos. What if they start a fight and accidentally injure the bystanders?"
"That’s true." Lisa nodded, "Let’s just head straight to the restaurant."
The three of them got on the escalator, which was about halfway up.
"Quinn Hughes, you’re dreaming if you think you can make me divorce so you can marry Graham Sutton!" A sharp female voice sliced through the noise like an ice knife.
Clara instinctively glanced towards the crowd below.
Since she was on the escalator, looking down from above, she immediately spotted the people at the center of the crowd.
The two women surrounded by the onlookers were Quinn Hughes and Judy Bishop.
The sharp cry just now had come from Judy Bishop.
The scandal of the Sutton Group’s prospective daughter-in-law having an affair with her father-in-law had already been exposed.
But that was online.
In reality, most of the people at the mall didn’t know Quinn Hughes and Judy Bishop.
But hearing the profanities Judy Bishop hurled, they knew this was another scorned wife confronting a mistress scene.
Judy Bishop grabbed Quinn Hughes by the hair and yanked her around in a circle.
The shopping bag in Quinn Hughes’ hand crashed to the ground, and the cosmetics inside scattered everywhere.
Quinn Hughes pried at Judy Bishop’s hand with both of hers, trying to break free, "Crazy woman, let go!"
"Thinking you can force your way into the family just because you’re pregnant with a bastard? Well, today I’ll show you what it means to kill two birds with one stone!" Judy Bishop screamed, her voice so sharp it broke.
The usually neat bun on Judy Bishop’s head was now in complete disarray.
Her face contorted in anger as she clung tightly to Quinn Hughes’ hair with one hand, raising the other high.
With a crisp "slap," Judy Bishop’s palm landed harshly on Quinn Hughes’ face.
"You slut! Homewrecker! I’ll beat you to death, you little slut! This is for seducing my husband!" Judy Bishop cursed, fully embodying a raging shrew.
Quinn Hughes, stunned by the slap, was momentarily infuriated, and she only thought about retaliating, forgetting that she was pregnant.
Unwilling to back down, she flung a vicious hand back at Judy Bishop’s face, "Old woman, I’ve put up with you long enough!"
The two of them grappled together.
The onlookers watching the drama backed away a few steps, fearing they might get caught in the chaos.
"Tsk tsk tsk, turns out it’s a wife beating the mistress scene." Lisa Holloway said, "Mistresses deserve to be beaten, well done!"
Anabelle Spencer added, "I think I heard the wife call the mistress Quinn Hughes. Isn’t Quinn the ex-fiancée of Isaac Sutton from Sutton Group? Not long ago, there was a scandal about the Sutton Group’s chairman having an affair with his daughter-in-law. Could it be that these two are involved?" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Clara nodded, her tone flat, "Yes, it’s them."
"Wait a second, Sutton Group’s Isaac Sutton." Lisa Holloway turned to Clara Sterling, "Isn’t he that scumbag ex-boyfriend of yours? So the mistress being beaten is his fiancée, and the wife doing the beating is his mom?"
Clara calmly replied, "Yes."
Lisa Holloway clapped her hands in delight, "Beautiful! Well done, a dog-eat-dog fight! This is more exciting than a TV drama!"
By this time, the escalator had reached the top, and the three of them stepped off. Lisa Holloway pulled Anabelle Spencer to get a good view from the railing.
"Hahaha, this is just too spectacular!" Lisa laughed so hard she couldn’t close her mouth, "Neither of them is any good, let them tear each other apart!"
Anabelle was equally engrossed, even pulling out her phone to record the scene, "Such a spectacular scene, I need to record and share this with some gossip news outlets. Anyone who bullies Clara is my enemy."
Anabelle and Lisa both knew about Clara’s past, and they felt indignant on her behalf.
"Yeah, Clara used to suffer a lot from them." Lisa said, getting worked up, "Too bad we only see the two women pulling each other’s hair, and didn’t get to see the scumbag getting hit."
Anabelle, still filming, said, "Although Isaac Sutton is no longer engaged, the idea of his ex-fiancée fooling around with his dad must be humiliating for him. More than anger, it’s probably the embarrassment that stings. He’s probably already a laughing stock in his circle."
Clara didn’t record the video.
But she couldn’t deny that watching the two women who once tormented her now publicly disgrace themselves was satisfying.
She was not one to repay kindness with malice.
She relished watching those who wronged her humiliate themselves and make a mess of their lives, rotting away in their own filth.
Clara curved her lips in a smile, "Isaac Sutton had a hard time suppressing the Sutton scandal, and now his mom and his mistress have delivered a new round of scandal. Interesting, coming to this mall was the right choice today."
Anabelle remarked, "Isaac Sutton’s mom is really tough. Others might worry about saving face and wouldn’t dare to cause a scene, but she just went ahead and hit someone in public."
Lisa chuckled, "It sounds like Quinn Hughes is pregnant with Graham Sutton’s child, according to Judy Bishop. Quinn is something else, can’t be Isaac’s wife so she becomes his stepmom, can’t have Isaac’s child so she gives him a brother."
Judy Bishop was truly merciless, kicking and hitting Quinn Hughes’ belly like a madwoman.
Quinn Hughes collapsed onto the ground in pain, blood streaming from her thighs and slowly spreading beneath her.
The onlookers screamed, seeing this scene, and someone called the police and emergency services.
This commotion attracted even more onlookers.
The mall security finally arrived, speaking into their walkie-talkies.
"Tsk, Quinn Hughes is in quite a predicament, there’s no saving this baby." Anabelle put her phone away, "But I won’t pity her, it’s her just deserts."
Lisa agreed wholeheartedly, "Yeah, she’s a habitual mistress, she needs a lesson."
"Evildoers always face their nemesis." Clara’s tone was calm, "Let’s go eat."
The three of them turned and headed towards the restaurant.
From downstairs came the sound of ambulances and police cars.
In the restaurant, Clara poured a glass of red wine, smiling as she lifted the glass, "Today is a good day, let’s toast."
"Cheers!" Anabelle and Lisa raised their glasses to clink with hers.
"Clink." The sound of glasses meeting was crisp and pleasant.
Today was indeed a good day.
