The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Chapter 1326

“Evelyn, you always seemed so savvy and straightforward, how could you stoop to this?” the voice of a woman from the community center’s card room cut through the air, her finger jabbing accusingly in Evelyn’s direction.

‘I can’t believe it. I used to invite you for a card games whenever I had spare time, and now this? Seducing a married man? Have you no shame?”

Even a usually friendly old lady, who often played bridge with Evelyn, was shaking her head in disapproval.

“And don’t you dare sit at my card table again. I fear your touch might taint my cards,” a stern-faced elder spat out, her index finger wagging in the air as she scolded Evelyn.

These were the same people who used to share gossip and camaraderie with her over a friendly game. Yet now, these so-called friends were looking down on her with disdain, their scornful gazes and a sea of harsh words threatening to drown her.

Evelyn’s breath quivered, and her trembling hands caused the smartphone to clatter to the ground.

You don’t know anything, so how can you judge me this way when you know nothing about the backdrop? You’re the useless ones! All you do every day is play cards, lose money, and gossip around. What else are you good for?”
