NovelEnglishDorothy had zero tolerance for unreasonable people.
But this woman was relentless.
As more onlookers gathered, the wife began spinning tales, painting quite the scene.
“Everyone,e and see this lady! She saw my husband's car keys, a Land Rover, no less, worth over a hundred grand! And she
started flirting with him! Caught her red-handed, and now she's all flustered, even talking about personal injury!”
The husband, seeing things spiral, tried to intervene, “Let's all calm down, folks. My wife is pregnant and a bit emotional, speaking
nonsense!”
“I'm not speaking nonsense! | saw you two laughing together, so bright and cheery, anyone would think you were here for a
prenatal appointment!” she snapped, still not satisfied, her anger squarely aimed at Dorothy, “I've seen many gold diggers like you
before!”

Dorothy was stuck. Arguing seemed pointless, and all she wanted was to keep her distance from this woman.
Lest she lash out and harm Dorothy's own unborn child.
But the wife mistook Dorothy's silence for fear, or even guilt.
Snatching the car keys from her husband, she waved them in Dorothy's face. “You're after this, aren't you? Aiming for the
passenger seat in this car? Dream on! Think you can snag any man just because you're pretty?”
“Haven't you had enough?” The husband had reached his limit, but constrained by his wife's pregnancy, he could only scold her
gently, “There's nothing between her and me, just a misunderstanding. Can't you stop making things up?”
“Oh, she's a misunderstanding, is she? What about that message on your phone last night from WhatsApp, huh? The one saying
she misses you?”
Hearing this, Dorothy began to piece things together.
This wife's hysteria wasn't without sbasis, given her husband's indiscretions.
But...
What an unjust situation for Dorothy!
Splashed with water, then baselessly accused and subjected to public scrutiny.
The looks from the crowd, as if they truly believed she was at fault!
Suddenly, a tall figure emerged from the crowd, standing protectively in front of Dorothy.
Behind her, the wife continued her rant.
“She's only after my husband because he drives a Land Rover, because he's wealthy—everyone,e see—"
Turning around and seeing Everett, she froze, caught off guard.

Everett, just arrived and unaware of the full story, instinctively shielded Dorothy, asking softly, “What's going on?”
“l don't even want to talk about it.” Dorothy managed a helpless smile, “Her husband accidentally spilled water on me, then
handeda napkin, and just like that, this lady accusesof seducing her husband.”
Had Everett not been there, the onlookers might have continued to speculate.
But his presence alone dispelled any doubts.
Dorothy, somewhat amused, pointed at the husband's car keys, “His wife claims | was trying to seduce him because | saw he
drives a Land Rover.”
Now it was Everett's turn to be speechless.
Truth be told, he could handle high society with ease, but this kind of irrational chaos?
