Seeing Kiara about to lower her head, Gwynne grabbed her in distress. “Kiara, my life doesn’t matter. Don’t lower yourself because of me.”
Kiara smiled and shook her head. “It’s nothing. I’m just helping her switch shoes. It’s not a big deal.”
The bodyguard handed her the flat shoes. She accepted them, knelt down, removed Dorothy’s heels, and put on the flats.
Where no one noticed, tears still rolled down Kiara’s face.
Once, Hugo felt sorry to see her rushing around in high heels for business deals. Each time she left, he would bring flats for her.
In the end, he would personally help her remove the high heels.
After just three years, his heart still softened the same way, just no longer for her.
Just a little longer. Once the divorce was settled, everything between her and Hugo would truly end. Then she would leave this place forever.
Once Kiara switched Dorothy’s shoes, the woman hid in his embrace again and said, “Brother Hugo, my feet feel slightly cold. The doctor said I must keep myself warm during pregnancy. I would like to soak my feet. Do you think that’s okay?”
Hugo loved her very much. “Sure. You are the most precious person in my life right now. You can do anything you like.”
“Kiara, Dorothy wants to soak her feet. Bring her a bowl of warm water.”
Even those around them could not accept the way Hugo acted.
“President Craig is truly heartless. Asking the lawful wife to change the mistress’s shoes is one thing, but now he even told her to wash her feet. How is this different from publicly humiliating her?”
“This Kiara is pitiful. I heard she is an orphan, without power or influence. Even if she is mistreated, no one will stand up for her.”
Everyone assumed Kiara would decline, yet to their surprise, she agreed.
Kiara carried a bowl of hot water and crouched down.
Without warning, she suddenly seized Dorothy and forced her feet into the burning water.
Her gaze was cold. “Don’t you enjoy soaking your feet? Then soak as much as you want this time!”
Dorothy cried out from the burn.
Kiara rose, seized her collar with one hand, and struck her hard with the other.
“This one is for your fake act.”
A second slap came immediately. “This slap is for willingly becoming a mistress and breaking up another family!”
She lifted her hand again, but before the slap landed, Hugo swung his arm and knocked her to the floor.
