Chapter 38
Sylvie panicked upon seeing the woman.
Of course, she knew Pierre had a legal wife who was incredibly fierce, so Sylvie was always careful
‘How did I get caught today?‘ she thought.

Before she could come up with a defense, the woman had already rushed up and clutched the necklace around Sylvie’s neck.
“I was the one who chose this style, but that old fart dared to gift it to you. This bag and earrings, too! They’re all the stuff I don’t use and keep at home. You shameless bitch! Did you rush to pick up the trash I don’t want? All of you, come over and tear off the things that belong to me!” she shouted.
The bodyguard swarmed over and showed no mercy to the woman.
The necklace was roughly torn off, causing sharp pain in Sylvie’s neck. Then, her earrings were suddenly snatched off, blood gushing out immediately.
Her howls almost overturned the clinic.
The patients coming in for treatment and prescriptions ran away in horror, hiding within the crowd outside as the people discussed and gossiped.
With those piercing gazes on Sylvie, she instantly lost her mind.
She hissed viciously, “You old hag! What’s so amazing about coming to me and acting all high and mighty on me if you can’t even keep an eye on your man?”
These words completely angered the woman. The words “old hag” especially pushed her off the edge directly.
Slap! The woman landed a slap on Sylvie’s face and pulled her hair, shouting, “All of you, come ov here and teach her a lesson!”
The bodyguards stepped forward again. They were obviously professionally trained and did not pin Sylvie down to attack her. They simply pulled her hair, tore off her clothes, and slapped her again and again.
Naomi’s face turned slightly pale. She did not expect the legal wife to be so fierce.
She spoke a few words, pretending to stop the fight, and then hid far away.
Tabitha watched the nonsensical scene coldly. She did not favor homewreckers at all and thought Sylvie deserved this.
‘No wonder she hangs out with Naomi. Birds of the same feather flock together. She scoffed inwardly.
Sylvie wailed miserably from the beating. With the addition of the legal wife’s cursing, the clinic was plunged into chaos.
Suddenly, Sylvie clutched her stomach and collapsed to the ground. She let out an anguished groan and complained, “My stomach hurts…”
Blood slowly gushed out from her lower half.
Everyone’s faces changed immediately. The bodyguards stopped at once and distanced themselves from her.
Just then, a siren roared.
Before the trouble at the clinic could be solved, the legal wife and Sylvie were arrested.

The incident happened at the entrance of the clinic, and Tabitha was the one making the call, so she had to head to the hospital.
Sylvie was rushed to the hospital, but her child was gone. Lying in bed, Sylvie sobbed in despair and wanted to sue the legal wife for murder.
The legal wife, Beatrice Capelle, had a wealthy family. Such a minor incident was nothing against her.
However, she was quite surprised that the beating led to a miscarriage, and she stood aside with a cold expression.
“I’ve called Pierre to come over. Let’s see what he has to say,” she said.
Naomi suddenly questioned Tabitha furiously, “Ms. Jarvis, I was the one who wronged you, and I know you despise me, but you shouldn’t have taken it out on my friend. We’re both women, and you are also pregnant. You knew Sylvie’s pregnancy was unstable, but why did you still let Mrs. Weiss come here to cause trouble?
Tears began falling as she spoke. “Ms. Jarvis, it was just an accident between Malcolm and me. If you’re really angry, I won’t see Malcolm again, but you’ve caused this to my friend. Won’t you even give us an apology?”
Tabitha’s eyes were cold. She said, “Naomi, have you ever thought about doing something good for the child in your belly when you hie? Since you feel so guilty, call Malcolm right now and cut ties with him. Besides, you’re the last person in this world deserving of my apology because you owe the Jarvis family two lives. If you pay it back this instant, I’ll apologize immediately.”
Naomi’s face stiffened, and she did not dare say anything.
Sylvie finally came to her senses, and she glared at Tabitha resentfully.
Was it because she tipped the woman off, causing me to lose my baby? Sylvie thought.
Hearing this, Beatrice suddenly understood what had happened.
She received photos from an unknown number that day, including intimate pictures of her husband and the mistress, her pregnancy test report, and the clinic address where the mistress was receiving her prescription.
Blinded by anger, Beatrice did not think much and led her men to rush over to teach the mistress a lesson.
She did not expect to be used by someone.
Beatrice glanced at Tabitha coldly.
‘She looks beautiful and feeble, but I didn’t expect her tactics to be so vicious. No wonder she couldn’t get her man to stay. Beatrice scoffed inwardly.
After waiting a long time, she knew Pierre did not dare show up. She snorted coldly, having no interest in getting involved in their fight again. She turned and left the hospital.
Not long after, Malcolm finally arrived.
He received a call from Naomi just now. During the chaos, she only said they were met with trouble at Tabitha’s clinic, and someone had a miscarriage.
“Who had a miscarriage?’ he wondered.
When he heard the news, he realized Tabitha was the first person he was worried about.
