Chapter 1574 It's Over for Him
The parents exchanged glances, with some even frowning in disapproval. Gideon couldn't fathom why his young wife, Abigail Mueller, had shown up. Her presence was a looming threat to his career.
Gideon toned down his voice so only Abigail could hear. "What are you doing here? Go back immediately!" he urged.
He then straightened up and stated loudly, "You're mistaken, madam. Please take your child away."
Clad in elegance, Abigail quickly realized there had been a misunderstanding. Normally, she would never make an appearance in front of a crowd of parents.
Gideon had warned her not to jeopardize his career if she wanted a better life. But he was the one who had messaged her, asking her to come with their son, Tommy Valencia!
Still, Abigail was sharp-witted. Upon realizing that something was amiss, she yanked Tommy's hand away from Gideon and attempted to leave.
Despite being in eighth grade, Tommy had been a spoiled child. He refused to leave without getting what he wanted. "Why are you pretending to be a stranger, Dad? Is it because of that old hag? Didn't you promise to divorce her soon?"
The murmurs in the crowd grew louder. Deeply embarrassed by Tommy's outburst, Gideon gave him a hard slap in the moment of panic. The sharp sound echoed in the air.
Gideon's desperate attempt to assert his innocence only fueled Tommy's outrage. "You hit me! Mom, Dad actually hit me! But I said nothing wrong!"
Gideon felt his face flush from embarrassment, realizing it was pointless to justify himself. Never in his wildest dream did he expect Tommy to act so foolish. This child wasn't like him at all!
Gideon's anguished gaze locked with Wynter's casual one. Throughout the farce, she leaned against her BMW Tomahawk with her arms crossed. She stood tall and imposing, though her striking beauty felt out of place in the unfolding drama.
It was clear that Wynter was behind all of this. After discovering Gideon's affair, she asked Wolf to send Abigail a message using Gideon's second WhatsApp number. The message was crafted to tug at Abigail's and Tommy's heartstrings.
Tommy had been craving a new phone, while Abigail sought to take the throne of Gideon's legitimate wife, Natalia Zaretsky. It was no surprise they had frequently challenged Natalia online.
According to Wynter's investigation, Abigail had once been Natalia's student when she worked as a home tutor.
The two hailed from the same town, and Abigail would never have settled in Hawford if it
weren't for Natalia. Yet, Abigail repaid the kindness by ruining Natalia's family.
In such situations, Wynter was determined to hold those in the wrong accountable.
Since Abigail tried to challenge Natalia while remaining anonymous, Wynter ensured she would have to reveal herself in public. As for Gideon, who boasted of virtue and integrity, Wynter would expose the truth behind his facade.
Gideon wished to put an end to the farce quickly, hoping for a chance at redemption. Before he could utter a word, a cold voice cut through the crowd. "So, you're the one who sent me those pictures."This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
It was Natalia, striding over with a handbag in hand. "I took care of you when you first arrived at Hawford. I treated you like my own daughter and protected you because you were my student.
"But now, it seems I've been a fool to show kindness to an ingrate. And I was blind to choose such a man as my husband."
Gideon's face paled instantly. At that point, all he could think about was that he was doomed.
