Chapter 497
Herbert’s response still lingered in Edith’s mind.
“Don’t worry about it.” he said.
It was almost as if he had said, “It’s none of your
business.”
From that moment on, Edith couldn’t be bothered to ask another question.
Hearing this, Herbert realized she genuinely cared and decided to elaborate, “Gregory mentioned it to me. Edith, that mode is the new face of our latest product line. I bumped into her once in the parking garage when she came to
sign the endorsement contract.”
Edith asked, “That’s it?”
Herbert replied, “That’s it.”
Edith knew he wasn’t lying, but she couldn’t help marveling at the paparazzi’s ability to make mountains out of molehills.

A single encounter in the parking garage was twisted into a sensational story about Herbert being seen with a supermodel, hinting at a looming announcement of good news.
Edith nodded, “Okay, got it.”
Herbert asked, “That’s it?”
Edith replied, “That’s it.”
Herbert looked at her, asking, “…And what about your new boyfriend?”

Herbert’s face went dark! His mood changed faster than a scene in a sitcom.
Edith glanced at Herbert, asking, “What do you think, Mr. Taylor?”
“Nonsense!”
Herbert’s expression darkened, he opened her suitcase, and started to haphazardly stuff clothes and personal items inside.
Edith was astonished. “Herbert, what are you doing?!”
“This trip has been fun enough, it’s time to go home!”

Herbert snapped the suitcase shut, grabbed it with one hand, and Edith with the other, and started dragging her out.
Edith was furious. “You lunatic! Asshole! Fossil!
You think you’re still my husband? You can’t control me! Let go of me!
The mixed–race guy stood at the door, clicking his tongue in disapproval, adding fuel to the fire,
“Edith, why is this old guy so violent? Isn’t he
afraid of hurting you? I would never treat you like that…”
For the first time, Edith saw a flash of anger on Herbert’s face!
The moment Herbert suddenly let go of her wrist, she quickly grabbed it again. “Herbert! I’ll listen to you, let’s go home!”
