Chapter: 1019
He heard her message loud and clear. She was asking him to terminate the contract with Eleanor.
Brian looked at Rosalynn and answered with no trace of opposition, “You’re my wife. It’s your call.”
Eleanor felt as if a bucket of ice had just been thrown over her head.
“You want to terminate our partnership?”
“And if I did? Do you have anything to say?” Rosalynn spat. “A mistress who meddles in other people’s marriages is not qualified
to be the brand’s ambassador, don’t you think?”
Eleanor’s eyes trembled as she looked at Brian’s impassive face.
“Mr. Hughes, you can’t do this to me. I was pregnant with your child.
We had a deal. You promised that you would help me become a top star!”
Eleanor’s cries and protests made Rosalynn’s resolve waver slightly.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Rosalynn strode forward and landed a resounding slap across Eleanor’s face.
Eleanor collapsed onto the floor.
Covering her face in disbelief, she stared at Rosalynn, stunned.
Rosalynn slowly squatted down, and in a tone that was barely above a whisper, she enunciated each word clearly. “Eleanor, my
husband said he only spent one night with you. How uncanny, then, that it resulted ina pregnancy?”
Eleanor’s face blanched at the implication.
Only Rosalynn and she knew who Brian had been with that night.
Was Rosalynn suggesting that Brian wasn’t the father of her unborn child?
Without Brian’s child, what claim did she have to request his assistance in her career?
Rather than aiding her, Brian would likely sabotage her career.
“Rosalynn, how dare you hit me?” Selina, who hadn’t caught the hushed conversation between Rosalynn and Eleanor, noticed
Eleanor’s guilt-ridden expression and rushed to help her up.
Rosalynn straightened and shot Selina a dispassionate look. “Isn’t it justifiable to punish a home-wrecker? Or are you suggesting
that you condone mistresses destroying marriages, Selina?”
“You...” Selina faltered, an indignant glint in her eye. “Isn’t it common for a man like Brian to have multiple women? What’s wrong
with that?”
Rosalynn’s eyebrows arched as she wound her arm around Brian’s. “Honey, do you require additional companionship?” she
asked him pointedly.
