Austin on the side was starting to get antsy, seeing things go south. He stepped up and waved at Chloe, "What's up?! Let's bounce, let's get outta here! What are you waiting for? A beat-down?"
Chloe stood her ground, paying Austin no mind. Instead, she lowered her head and looked at the hefty woman in front of her from above.
"I'm curious to see, how exactly you're gonna make me pay? You can't even keep your man in check and all you can do is come here and start a ruckus. No wonder your hubby keeps stepping out on you! He can't keep it in his pants and you can't change him. Just because you think the sun shines out of his ass, doesn't mean everyone else does! You think I fancy him? What's to like?"
Chloe sounded icy cold, her expression even more chilling.
Rhoda was on the side, playing on her phone, doing god knows what. When she put her phone down and lifted her head, she saw Chloe standing tall and proud, all eyes on her, surprise and excitement plastered on everyone's faces! Like she was in the right for throwing punches and her words now were just the cherry on top.
She frowned, and gritted her teeth, her gaze sweeping Chloe's figure, resting on Chloe's ring that looked simple but had a top-grade diamond on it, her eyes narrowing ever so slightly.
"Ms. Summers, that's a nice ring you've got there, worth a pretty penny, isn't it?" Rhoda spoke up, all onlookers' gazes shifted to Chloe's left hand.
Chloe squinted at Rhoda, chuckling coldly, "It's something you could never afford in your lifetime!"
Rhoda's face darkened, then she laughed, "Yeah, I guess I don't have the nerve to get men to buy me fancy, expensive diamond rings like you..."
Suddenly Chloe's hand was grabbed, followed by Makenna's shrill voice. "You cheap tart, acting all high and mighty? Talking about what my husband's got that you like? Isn't this it? You, you sleazy bitch, caught red-handed and still denying it! I... I'm gonna wipe that smirk off your face!"
Makenna finished her rant and swung at Chloe's face again.
Chloe clenched her jaw, coldly pushed Makenna, who was half a head shorter than her, away. "I told you, I have nothing to do with your husband! Keep an eye on him yourself. Don't drag innocent people into your mess!"
But Makenna wasn't having it, "Innocent, you're the other woman and you're innocent? How many families have you homewreckers ruined, and you're innocent! I..."
Makenna, with her plump face, already swollen from Chloe's punches, just kept on screaming at Chloe, non-stop. Now, her eyes were darting all over Chloe, "Your clothes, your shoes, your ring... take them all off! You're not ashamed? I'm going to strip you bare today! Let everyone see how shameless you are!"
The woman kept on shrieking, getting shoved away time and again, but wouldn't give up causing a scene. Everyone thought her actions were utterly absurd.
