Chapter 10
Arthur’s gaze turned ferocious, and he swung his fist toward Peter.
Seeing that they were about to exchange blows, I quickly pulled open the fitting room curtains. I dashed toward Peter and stood protectively before him. I said coldly, “Arthur, please leave immediately.”
Arthur stared at me, his gaze filled with disbelief. “Susan, are you actually protecting him?”
Blood kept trickling out from the wound on his forehead. Even his shirt was stained with blood and dust. He looked nothing like his usual elegant self.
I looked away, unwilling to look at Arthur any longer. He suddenly shot me an awkward smile before turning to stagger away.
At that moment, Peter suddenly covered my eyes and whispered, “Honey, you’re not allowed to look at him.”
I was taken aback. Then, I sighed helplessly.
Peter had always been a force to reckon with in the business world. I never knew he had such a childish and possessive side to him. It seemed like the sense of security I gave him was far from enough.
Meanwhile, Arthur and Jenny’s scandal continued to escalate online. It had gone far beyond what I had imagined. The netizens did their own investigation and uncovered more shocking news.
Jenny had spiked Arthur’s drink that night, and he had been kept in the dark the whole time. He just thought he had lost control after having a few drinks.
What was more shocking was that Jenny had actually slept with eight men all around the same time, but it just happened that Arthur was the best one among them. Since Jenny wasn’t sure who the father of her baby was, she immediately decided to make Arthur take up the responsibility.
The Campbells had been known as a family of doctors for over a century, but their reputation was ruined overnight. Nowadays, the netizens referred to them as a family of adulterers..
Under everyone’s mockery, Arthur finally had a breakdown. He got a new number so that he could call me, but I ended the call the moment I recognized his voice. Later, I received a text from him. “I’m sorry, Susan. I won’t bother you again.”
I deleted the message right away since I no longer wanted anything to do with him. Later, I found out that he had swallowed a large amount of sleeping pills to kill himself.
Although the doctors managed to save his life, Arthur ended up having severe anxiety and depression. At the peak of his illness, he was unable to take care of himself.
As for Jenny, one of her other potential baby daddies was a brilliant man in the finance world, but the scandal caused him to lose his job and he was banned from the industry for life. Even his wife filed for divorce.
He despised Jenny for everything. When she dropped by the hospital for a prenatal check–up, he stabbed her with a knife.
By the time Jenny was found, she was already lying in a pool of blood. In the end, the doctors couldn’t save her baby, and she became infertile for life.
After learning about this news, I cast a meaningful glance at Peter, who was drinking his coffee. “Saw that? This is what happens when you cheat.” Peter choked before spitting out his coffee. He hurriedly wiped his mouth and said, “Honey, don’t worry. I’ll always be loyal to you!”
