It was a young actress. She was bad at talking. Hicks hated every word she said.
But other women knew. A woman patted on her head, "donāt be silly. Mr. Lynch did acknowledge that they did date each other. They must have sex before. Certainly, they might get back together. He might be lying to protect her. Donāt trust him. That bitch couldnāt live without a man. She seduces everyone that showed a little concern towards her,"
"Stop. I donāt want to discuss this anymore. I invite you to be here for relaxation. We donāt need to talk about these boring stuff. Help yourself. I am gonna prepare some snacks."
After hearing what that woman said, Hicks get happy again. The smile reappeared on her face. But she still pretended that she didnāt like talking about these gossips. So she turned away quickly. She thought that she had her revenge against Edie.
Other women took relief. They looked towards the young actress together.
Her name was Rihana Black.
"Rihana, whatās wrong with you. Have you thought for a while before talking?"
"Do you know you almost killed us."
"What have I done?" Rihana looked at them with innocent eyes.
"Hicks live Mr. Yates now. She is totally different from us now. She is going to get married to a wealthy man and live a wealthy life. Sheās gone far beyond us. Donāt you see what sheās doing today? Itās been quite a long time when she contacted us last time. Why did she suddenly contact us today? She wants to show off. Donāt you understand? How stupid you are that you donāt get her intention upon contacting us,"
"Exactly. Ruis is right. Her enemy now is Edie. If we keep cursing on Edie, she would love that. If she gets happy, she might be considering giving us a hand."
"But, Mr. Yates is Edieās husband. Edie got lots of chances. I think Mr. Yates must like her so much. Why did they suddenly want to get a divorce? Is it because of Hicks? Is she the mistress in their marriage? Did Hicks ruin a family for her personal intention?"
Before Rihana finished the sentence, someone interrupted her.
"Stop. What the hell are you talking about? Thereās no so-called mistress. It is about love. Thereās no wrong or right things."
"Yes. Who cares about this? If you win, you get everything. Otherwise, you would lose everything."
At the moment, they heard a little boy talking, "are you talking out, my pretty girl?"
All women turned around. They saw a little boyāan adorable one.
"Who are you? We are all pretty girls. Who are you looking for?" The little boy was quite cute. All women wanted to amuse him.
"You? Donāt be flirting with yourselves." Cecil made a face.
"Who the hell are you. Do you want me to kick your ass?" Ruis said angrily. As she lifted hands and prepared to hit him, Rihana stopped her.
"Ruis, he is just a little boy. Forgive him. Why did you want to hit a child who just talks nonsense,"
"You help me. I wonāt make trouble to you," Cecil kissed on Rihanaās face. Even in such a nervous situation, he still remembered to play tricks to beautiful girls. Cecil indeed, a cunning little boy.
Arther was standing at a distance. Seeing this, he was not happy.
"Bastard. Always do this ."
"Slap them till they apologize to me."
Cecil dragged Rihana behind him and got serious on the face.
Lots of guards stood out and caught those women.
All those women were shocked. They were invited here today. Why did this little boy pop out suddenly and wanted to slap them? They were confused with the little boyās sudden anger.
The guards acted quickly. When Cecil said, they immediately followed the order and started slapping those women without any hesitation.
All those women cried out. They donāt remember when they offended this child?
They didnāt even figure out why they were slapped suddenly.
"Hicks, help ..."
When they cried out, Hicks finally heard. She rushed out, seeing her friends being pressed by those guards and slapped.
Hicks got mad immediately, "Cecil. What the hell are you doing here? Stop now. Who allows you to do this at my home? Let them go right now. Why are you making a scene inside my house?"
"At your home? When did this house become yours? Did you marry my brother? To be exact, this is my home. I can do everything I want at my home. You are nothing here. You are just nothing but a mistress!" Cecilās voice was full of anger. Today, he canāt forgive Hicks and her friends who talk ill about Edie.
Cecil sat on the sofa like a big boss. As he wanted to say more words, Arther coughed out behind him.
Cecil suddenly realized something. He stood up immediately and smiled towards Arther.
"Sorry, your majesty. I almost forgot about you."
Then he held Arther to the sofa and made him sit down. Then he said,
"They were all talking about gossip about my pretty girl. They need to be punished. I can punish them at my home. Do I need your permission?"
"Whoās your pretty girl?" Ruis asked Cecil quickly while holding her swollen face. She felt a sharp pain after those slaps.
"My brotherās wife, Edie. She is my girl," Cecil smiled and answered.
He stood on Edieās side. He canāt let any other women bully Edie. Not even this stupid Hicks who pretend to be the wife of his brother.
All actresses looked at each other silently. All of a sudden, they thought Hicks lied to them. They realized that Hicks only used them to embarrass Edie.
Stuartās families never accepted her in a real sense. They even slapped her friends in front of her. They wanted to insult her. How was it possible to be the hostess of the Yates? This cunning woman pretended to be the new hostess of the Yates family. She was showing off a status that doesnāt belong to her.
