No Divorce? The Billionaire's Love Chase! novel Chapter 210

Seeing everyone ganging up on Ann, York couldn't help but speak up. "You should go home now."

Ann had achieved her goal and had no desire to stay any longer.

She shot a deliberate look at Claudia before turning to leave.

York walked to Claudia and took her hand.

He addressed Old Mrs. Hawk. "My lady, this is a misunderstanding. I will explain everything to my wife."

Old Mrs. Hawk released Claudia but not without a stern warning for York. "It had better be a misunderstanding. Otherwise, I'll be having a word with that old man of yours to get justice for Claudia."

Before Old Mrs. Hawk had even finished her sentence, a sharp, arrogant voice cut through the air. "Bitch, did I say you could leave?"

As everyone turned, Darleen's hand had already connected with Ann's face.

A sharp slap echoed through the corridor. Ann staggered back, stars exploding in her vision as she shrieked and covered her cheek.

She looked tearfully at York, who was standing beside Claudia, the picture of a wronged victim.

York subtly released Claudia's hand.

He moved to shield Ann, giving Darleen a warning glare. "Get out of here before I lose my temper."

Darleen tilted her head back defiantly. "I'm not just going to slap her, I'm going to rip those clothes right off her. Go ahead, strike me down if you have the guts!"

As York's temper flared, Claudia pulled Darleen protectively to her side. With effort, she forced out two shaky tears. "You keep saying it's a misunderstanding, York," she said, voice thick with hurt, "but you stand there defending her. How can you expect me to believe you?"

Mrs. Lennox, who had no patience for cheating men, spared him no courtesy. "Mr. Ferguson, if you're going to play this game, at least have the skill to do it clean. If you can't manage basic decency, the least you could do is spare your wife the public humiliation."

Her words sent a ripple of disapproving murmurs through the crowd.

York stared blankly at Claudia's reddened eyes, a suffocating feeling tightening in his chest.

He walked to her, took her hand, and spoke in a placating tone. "Let's talk about this at home."
