Spoiled my CEO husband after Rebirth

"Miss Evans, I'm so sorry. We didn't know who you were. For earlier... we've offended you. I'm really sorry."

It was embarrassing to be talking about someone behind their back and simultaneously being overheard by their very subject of gossip.

"What happened?"

Gretchen walked over and smiled at that staff member. "Are you bullying my sister?"

"No, no, Miss Evans. There was just... a misunderstanding."

Gretchen put on a benevolent act of defending her sister. "I'll have you know that even though my sister is good-tempered, she is not someone you can just bully. Because I will be the first to object to such treatment."

The staff member awkwardly wiped away some sweat. "Yes, yes, yes. You're right, Miss Evans. We won't do it again."

Gretchen nodded with satisfaction. "It's good that you know your mistake..."

"Was there something you wanted, Gretchen?"

Gwenda spoke up with displeasure as she gazed at her stepsister coldly.

Stunned, Gretchen immediately morphed her face into one of grievance. "Sis, why are you so fierce..."

"Are we really close to each other?"

Gwenda refused to do Gretchen any favours as a mocking smile appeared on her face. "Don't act as if we're very close to each other. And what's with this stunt of trying to stand up for me? Are you trying to prove that you're more capable than your loser of a sister?"

"I wasn't trying to do anything."

Gretchen lowered her head as if she was hurt and her eyes became bloodshot. "I just wanted to help you out."

"Oh, help me? How kind of you."

Gwenda's words were heavy with sarcasm.

"Why won't you forgive me, sis..."

"

Gretchen suddenly became choked up from perceived distress.

Nearby, the staff member was feeling terribly awkward.

What the hell was going on?

Why did she start crying out of nowhere?

Gwenda was no longer surprised by Gretchen's act as she was used to it and her expression remained bland.

However, Hattie, who was next to Gwenda, could no longer hold it in. "Come on! Miss Evans, you're a terribly odd person, aren't you? How is this situation any of your business? Gwenda's only said a few words to you and you're crying as if she's bullied you or something. What are you trying to do?"

"I wasn't trying to do anything, I just wanted to reconcile with my sister..."

Gretchen's cries grew louder.

Gwenda watched her stepsister's insufferable phony act and felt her anger boil from within.

At this moment, Martin came over, having heard the commotion. His anger rose in an instant when he saw Gretchen wiping away tears with a look of hurt on her face. Glaring at Gwenda, he demanded, "What did you do to Gretchen again?"

As expected, this was bound to happen.

Gwenda stared at them coldly, her temples throbbing with suppressed anger.

"Gwenda, if you're unhappy, just come at me. Why do you find it necessary to embarrass Gretchen in public?"

Martin pulled Gretchen behind him and glared menacingly at Gwenda.

This scene immediately attracted the attention of many backstage staff members.

"What's going on?"

"Cat fight between sisters. Looks like it's over a guy."

"Wow, that exciting? Who has the upper hand now?"

"From the looks of it, it seems to be the younger sister."

Gwenda's face was frigid, but she did not make any retorts.

Gretchen then spoke up and said, "Martin, it has nothing to do with her. It was my fault. I was the one who meddled in my sister's affairs by standing up for her, and she didn't like that." "You stood up for her, and she still tried to teach you a lesson?"

Martin's expression grew even more nastier as he frowned.

"It's really not her fault. It's mine. It's natural that she doesn't want to forgive me..."

When she got to this point, Gretchen began sobbing quietly once again.

Martin felt bad for her and soothed her gently with a few words before turning to look back at Gwenda with callousness. "You've disappointed me, Gwenda."

A wave of disgust surged within Gwenda's heart. She honestly could not be bothered to deal with morons like them.

Unable to stand any more of this nonsense, Hattie shouted at Martin angrily, "Hey, you're a real d*ck, you know that? What do you mean by Gwenda disappointing you? What right does a cheating scumbag 會 like you have to be yelling about here?

"And you, Gretchen Evans, how sick can you get? Quit pretending to be a two-faced b*tch, will you? You keep saying that Gwenda will not forgive you, but you were the one who stole her fiancé in the first place. Is it wrong if she doesn't want to talk to you now?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
