A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1057

At Fabian's remark, Hannah was left with no retort. He's right. I'm just poking my nose into someone else's affair. Regina is always picking on me in the office, and she's so vicious that she even wanted to set me up shamelessly. If it weren't for him, I can't even imagine what I would be facing right now.

Upon seeing that her expression seemed rather grim, Fabian lifted his arm and pulled her into his embrace. "It's fine. This is just karma since she's such a ruthless person," he consoled gently.

Meanwhile, Luka patted Ysobel on the shoulder and whispered, "Don't take it so far. I've still got something to ask Wesley Xenakis."

Ysobel again cursed Regina out, only stopping when sweat dripped down her forehead.

"Hmph! A b*tch like you should just walk the streets! How is this act of yours any different from prostituting yourself?"

As she spoke, her face turned chilly. In the next instance, she snapped her head around to bark at Wesley, who was wearing a penitent expression, "Go into the villa! My brother has something to say to you!"

After saying that, she again shot Regina, who was slumped on the ground, another glare. Then, she spun around and stalked toward the villa.

When Wesley saw that they had all left, he quickly darted forward and helped Regina up. "I'm sorry about that, Regina," he mumbled in embarrassment.

Wesley had been rather good to Regina in the past few years she had been his mistress. He had no feelings for Ysobel, perchance due to her rigidity and stern temperament besides her unsightly looks. Plus, he had only married her because of Luka.

When he met Regina, it was as though he had found his chance at love. His interaction with her resembled that of a dating couple, giving her the best of everything and even accompanying her shopping from time to time.

Despite Regina's cruel streak, she still had a shred of conscience, so she burst into tears at his words.

"Luka wants to see me, and I have a feeling that he wants to fire me. I might become a pauper in the future and can't support you anymore," Wesley admitted dejectedly.

This struck Regina like a bolt of lightning. No more money? How am I to continue living the life I want? Who'll be buying me branded handbags and giving me a credit card to swipe at will?
