"But that woman doesn't seem to be the official wife, right? Haven't you heard he has a family?"
"Even so, she said she's pregnant with a boy. What do wealthy families care about most? Offspring."
The salesgirls were whispering nearby, and every word reached my ears.
My jacket was torn, and despite my struggles, I couldn't escape the grip of several people. Enraged, I viciously bit Selene's arm.
"You little bitch, how dare you bite me? I'll teach you a lesson!" She stood up and kicked me hard in the abdomen with her high heels.
"Hit her!" A few men hesitated, but Selene yelled, "What, do you want me to do it myself? What if something happens to the baby in my belly?"
I was beaten mercilessly, blood oozing from my mouth as the crowd watched, treating it like a spectacle.
Selene winked at Nora, who discreetly drew the store's curtain.
"Do you know who my husband is?" Selene asked arrogantly as she stood up.
Nora shook her head respectfully.
"Bruce Walsh, owner of the city's largest listed company, which will soon be mine since he's transferred all his shares to me. If you're wise, you'll know how to treat me," Selene sneered.
