“What’s wrong with that woman? It’s freezing out here, yet she’s running around half–naked! Young people these days truly have no sense of shame.”
“Didn’t you hear what she said earlier? She admitted to ruining someone’s marriage. She must have been kicked out after getting into some kind of fight with the man’s wife.”
“Oh
- my. How could a decent–looking young lady do something so shameless?”
“It’s a good thing we don’t live in those days anymore. If she had committed such a thing back. in the days, she would have been paraded through the streets–subjected to public shaming!”
It was a rare and exciting spectacle, so people couldn’t resist capturing it on their phones. They murmured excitedly and eagerly took out their phones to capture the moment, paying

no mind to whether their uploads would get taken down on those short–video platforms.
Jessica still dreamed of soaring to greater heights. She couldn’t possibly allow her reputation to be tarnished, so she covered her face with her hands and desperately cried out at the gates, exclaiming, “Shawn! Mr. Pitt! I promise I’ll leave immediately, so please give me something
to wear.”
Upon hearing the commotion outside, the security guard walked up to Shawn and said tentatively, “Mr. Pitt, about Ms. Slater-”
“I don’t want to hear another word about her,” Shawn cut him off with an icolare.
The security guard could tell that Shawn was in a foul mood. Knowing better than to provoke his employer further, he wisely chose to remain quiet about Jessica, who had caused such a commotion in front of the villa.
Having screamed for a long time, Jessica finally realized that Shawn wasn’t going to budge. She immediately dropped her act and began to hurl insults.
“You really think I cared about you, huh? If you hadn’t made it so easy for me to manipulate you, I wouldn’t have even bothered. You’ll definitely regret this, Shawn! You men dream of keeping your perfect home life while chasing after something on the side. What a joke!
“You claim Noelle is the love of your life, but that hasn’t stopped you from cheating on her. You better not fool yourself with that ‘true love‘ nonsense!”
Jessica had dropped all pretense.
All the passersby had initially gathered to watch the spectacle. Yet, af revelations, they stuck around, wondering who could create such a r fool of themselves.

Her face flushed with embarrassment, Jessica glared at the onlookers. “What are you staring at? I’ll call the police if you keep it up!”
It was a weekday, so the only people who would come watch the commotion were either retired folks or nosy neighbors. It was obvious that her usual aggressive tactics wouldn’t work on them.
A passerby, who was genuinely just passing through, snapped back, “You really think we enjoy watching this spectacle? You’re the one ruining someone else’s marriage and getting kicked out. But instead of rushing home in shame, you’re still out here making a fool of yourself!”
“I know, right?” another onlooker chimed in. “It’s clear that she had no regard for her own dignity. I mean, people should at least have some self–respect. If she had any shame at all, she would have disappeared after what she did.”
It was all about shame and being shameless again! It was already the second time today that people have accused her as such!
Jessica couldn’t hold it in any longer, exclaiming angrily, “Who says I’m the mistress here?

Did any
one of you actually witness it? It’s obvious that the mistress is the one who isn’t loved in the relationship!”
Upon hearing that, the onlookers laughed out loud and said, “You actually still have the audacity to say such a thing, huh? If he actually cared about you, would he let you walk down the street like that? That outfit is only suitable for the beach, not the street.”
“You’re nothing but a plaything to him, yet you actually see yourself as his legitimate wife.”
“Let’s be honest, the real estate around here is worth a fortune. I wonder if she was after the money but ended up losing out instead…”
Those last remarks truly felt like a venomous barb.
Upon hearing that, Jessica’s complexion turned sickly pale before flushing with
embarrassment. Having lost her bravado, she wanted nothing more than to escape the crowd of people who were pointing and whispering about her.
