But since she was the girl Philip had chosen, I decided not to argue with her.
"If you don't believe me, you can call Philip right now to confirm."
Chelsea glanced at me and mocked.
"Oh, you want him to come and save you? I'm telling you, that's not going to happen!"
"Chelsea, stop talking to her! Just do it!"
Before I could explain further, Chelsea kicked me hard in the chest!
The luxury items I was holding scattered all over the ground, with expensive perfumes and cosmetics shattering on impact.
I stumbled and fell to the ground.
But Chelsea wasn't satisfied yet. She quickly swung her right hand and slapped me hard across both cheeks four times!
Her group of friends swarmed over, pinning me down and kicking me several times.
In the chaos, I could only raise my hands to protect my belly; the continuous beating left me unable to call for help.
There were a few gasps from the crowd, and someone said.
"Is the mistress pregnant? It looks like she's protecting her stomach."
This remark was like a spark that made Chelsea's face change dramatically, her fury instantly turning red-hot.
"Chelsea, your boyfriend seems to have a wandering eye—he's no good either!"
"Don't talk nonsense! He just made a mistake every man in the world makes! But this old woman seduced my husband first; she's unforgivable! Today, I'm going to tear her apart!"
Chelsea clearly trusted Philip, but I raised my hand and couldn't utter a word in explanation.
The onlookers clicked their tongues and teased her.
"Your husband must be rich! With things blowing up like this, you're still willing to trust him?"
Chelsea lifted her chin proudly.
"Of course! Philip and I have been together for three years, and our love is stronger than gold! His mom loves me to death! No one can break us apart! I believe my husband didn't mean to cheat; she seduced him!"
"If my mother-in-law were here, she'd support me and wouldn't let this old woman leave here alive! It's ridiculous that she's impersonating my mother-in-law! As if I wouldn't recognize my boyfriend's mom?"
Hearing Chelsea brag like this, the crowd grew even more curious.
"Who is your mother-in-law, for you to praise her like this?"
