Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 40 A Clash of Wills

"What are you laughing at?"

Hearing Anne's laughter, Ruth stared at Anne, seemingly annoyed.

She hated this kind of laughter the most, not to mention that it came from the person she disliked the most. How could she not be angry?

The angrier Ruth was, the happier Cherry got. That meant that she achieved what she set out to do. As long as Ruth hated Anne, Anne would have a hard time later. Cherry finally didn't have to fight alone!

Anne shook her head and wore her passionless face.

"Nothing. I suddenly thought of something funny, so I laughed!"

"You are so annoying!" Ruth was so angry that she gnashed her teeth and wanted to slap Anne.

Fortunately, Emily was eagle-eyed and agile. She stepped forward, coming between her and Anne to protect her.

"Emily!" Anne was astounded by the crisp sound of the slap. It hit Emily, not her. Looking at the slender body in front of her, Anne scrunched up her eyes. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Emily reached out and touched her face. She hadn't been slapped since she was born. Ruth had gone too far.

"Are you insane?"

Finally, Emily couldn't stand it anymore. She had been in a good mood, and then it all came crashing down. Well, since this woman wanted to make trouble, she was willing to play along.

When she was about to fight back, the shop assistants around couldn't stand it anymore and hurried to stop Ruth.

"I'm sorry, ladies. Could you please talk things over?"

"Fuck off!" Ruth glared at the shop assistant who spoke. The others decided to hold their tongues. Then she turned and looked at Anne with her sharp eyes. "I'll teach you a hard lesson today, or I'll eat my hat!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she moved into position again and was about to slap Anne.

Anne frowned, but she didn't try to stop her or get out of the way.

Cherry was very happy watching all this unfold, but she still had to pretend. If something really happened to Anne, Kevin would be pressing the shop girls for details.

They were witnesses of what had happened and could prove that she had nothing to do with it.

"What are you doing? Let go of Anne!"

Seeing that Ruth really wanted to hurt Anne, Emily was frightened. If something really happened to Anne, she would be guilty for the rest of her life.
