But the pain within me makes me realize that I remain very mindful about it.<\/p>\n<p>Whitney notices that the public consensus is on her side and capitalizes on the moment, \u201cI\u2019m very curious how could a divorcee, who had been involved with numerous men, be able to seduce my husband. I suspect that she must be very slutty in bed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whitney laughs as she covers her mouth and the surrounding people also look at me with disdain. I really don\u2019t know how Whitney can laugh.<\/p>\n<p>I know that countless people will accuse me when I\u2019m with Frances but that isn\u2019t my original intention. Furthermore, isn\u2019t it enough that I have already paid such a painful price?<\/p>\n<p>This time I manage to escape when Whitney tries to splash the sulphuric acid on me. But what about next time and the time after that? This matter must not rest so easily.<\/p>\n<p>I look at Whitney who is laughing gleefully and say, \u201cFrom what I know, you and Frances had already divorced. So by law, he is no longer your husband and is now your ex-husband. I will not simply let this matter rest today. I\u2019ll see you at the police station.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After saying, I disregard that insane Whitney and send the person, who blocked the sulphuric acid for me, to the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Steven also rushes to the hospital and asks me anxiously, \u201cHow are you? Are you alright?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I shake my head and say softly, \u201cI\u2019m fine, the person who you sent protected me. But I don\u2019t know how he is fairing now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At this point, I look at the bright operating room with worry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs long as you are alright. I\u2019ll handle the rest.\u201d Steven says calmly.<\/p>\n<p>Whitney is still making her official statement and I describe the entire situation to the policeman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour account of what happened is very different from what Ms. Jordan claims.\u201d The policeman frowns as he says to me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn what way is it different?\u201d I ask.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMs. Jordan said that the bottle of sulphuric acid was in your hand and she snatched it from you in self-defense and in the process it leaked and hurt that man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What a joke! I didn\u2019t expect that Whitney can weave such a lie to turn the incident against me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-295","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/295","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=295"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
