One Insult, Two Goodbyes—Husband and Her Out Chapter 8
When I returned from the boutique that night, I never imagined that I'd find an unwanted guest waiting in my home.Hayden ignored the disgust on my face and calmly set out dishes at the dining table.When I walked closer to him, he grinned."Honey, I made your favorite—grilled salmon," he said, holding up the dish. "Kayla's locked up now, and with the damages from the boutique, she won't be out for at least ten years. I checked, and it seems like in cases like this, the marriage can be dissolved in two years! I'll divorce her then for sure!"He rambled on, lost in his own fantasy. "I know you're still upset, but trust me. My heart has always been with you. Kayla used dirty tricks to force me to be with her, but I love you. Only you."His declaration made me want to vomit. I grabbed a dish from the table and hurled it at him. "Who do you think you are? Who said you could come into my house? Security!"The joy drained from his face the moment I yelled for security. Panic took over

"A misunderstanding?" Kayla repeated.She couldn't accept the fact that Hayden was kneeling in front of me and calling me "honey". She yanked his arm and screamed at me. "You bitch! What did you do to my husband? Hayden, what are you doing? Get up!"The usually gentle Hayden suddenly turned on her and slapped her across the face. She stumbled and fell to the floor."You hit me? You actually hit me? All for that bitch?"Kayla's eyes widened in shock. Disbelief flooded her expression."Show some respect!" Hayden spat, then turned to me. "Honey, please, let me explain. She seduced me and forced me into this. I swear nothing ever happened between us. My heart belongs only to you! I love you!"Those words would have moved me to tears back then. But now, they just sounded pathetic."Hayden, don't you realize how ridiculous you sound?"Kayla's sobs filled the mediation room.Hayden collapsed to the floor, muttering apologies. His voice was barely audible because he knew he was done f

I laughed so hard that tears rolled down my cheeks.After all these years of marriage, I had trusted Hayden more than anyone. That was why I let him run the company.Maybe time had made him think he owned the company. He even thought he could use it to turn the tables against me.He was wrong. I grew up around all sorts of business circles with my dad.How could I not see through Hayden's schemes?"Hayden, are you sure about that?"He lifted his head and met my gaze. "Of course I am! If you don't believe me, let's test it out!""Hayden, you're underestimating me," I said, wiping the tears from my eyes. "You don't honestly think that swapping out the company veterans for your own people and funneling profits into your name makes the company yours, do you?"His smile froze instantly. With the slap I'd just given him still burning across his cheek, he looked ridiculous.He stood there, stunned."Stop trying to scare us! The company already belongs to the Carters. It's my husband

I tossed my hair back and stared at him with amusement. "Why wouldn't it be me? Hayden, you'd better explain yourself."Before he could speak, Kayla stepped in front of him."Explain? Why should we explain anything to you?" she snapped. "Officer, my husband is here now. Go ahead and arrest them! Arrest this thief and this homewrecker!"She rattled on, oblivious to Hayden's strange expression.I slowly moved closer to him and flung the marriage certificate in his face. "Explain yourself."Kayla's eyes burned red as she raised her hand to strike me. "What more do you want? Are you just addicted to wrecking marriages?"Hayden quickly pulled Kayla behind him. His gaze cut into me like a blade."Winnie, how could you speak to my wife like that?"Kayla lifted her chin proudly. "Honey, not only has she talked trash to me, but her sister tried to walk off with dresses from our store for free!"Just then, the police returned with the certificate verification results."Ms. Graham, the

I let out a sigh of relief the moment I heard the police.Julia quickly pulled Kayla back."That's me. I'm Winnie, and I'm the one who called the police."When I couldn't reach Hayden on the way to the store, I chose to call the authorities.Fortunately, they arrived in time. I didn't even want to imagine what would've happened to Lola and me if they hadn't.Kayla's strength was frightening.Before I could explain the situation, Kayla burst into tears and accused us of stealing. She pointed at Lola. "Officer, she tried to steal a dress from my store, and I caught her in the act! Since when is catching a thief a crime?""Exactly! If we hadn't caught her, our store would have lost three million," Julia chimed in.Lola held my hand. "This is my sister's store. I didn't steal anything.""You're lying!" Kayla snapped. "This is my husband's store!"Under the police officers' skeptical stares, I walked over and pulled out my business registration document. Then, I recounted everythi

Worried that Lola might get hurt again, I didn't fight back too hard. Several fresh scratches now ran across my face.Seeing that I was attacked, Lola ignored her own pain and fought back.I seized the moment and slapped Kayla a few times. Kayla couldn't handle both of us at once.She screamed for the store manager. "Are you blind? Can't you see they're ganging up on me? Get over here and help!"The manager froze. Her movements noticeably slowed when she met my sharp gaze."Julia Harris, have you lost your mind?" I snapped. "Don't forget who gave you Kayla's resume. Have you ever seen another person besides me since you started working here?"My words made Julia visibly nervous.Kayla gradually stopped thrashing. She panted heavily. "Don't be ridiculous! This store belongs to Hayden. If it weren't his, I wouldn't even be here!""But, Mrs. Carter, Ms. Graham really was the one who gave me your resume," Julia said carefully.When I first opened this boutique, many of my busine
