The minute Dorthy heard about the confidentiality agreement and the hefty penalty for breaching it, she became instantly cautious. Still, deep down, she felt a sense of injustice for what Chloe was going through. Being insulted and physically attacked without any reason whatsoever, anyone would feel aggrieved. “But she just went off on people for no reason…”

Rhoda gently pinched Dorthy’s arm, signaling her to keep quiet for now, then lifted her head and looked at Makenna with a smile, saying, “Makenna, there’s some merit to what she just said. You launched into a tirade without getting all the facts straight, which isn’t really fair, is it? Ms. Summers says she’s not a homewrecker. Could there be some misunderstanding?”

The bystanders all nodded in agreement. “Yeah, what if she’s really not to blame?”

“I don’t think she’s that type of person.”

I also think we should get our facts straight before jumping to conclusions.”

Makenna looked a bit annoyed. “A beautiful woman, hanging around my husband’s hotel room door, who else could it be?”

Dorthy blinked. Was she being overlooked? “I was there at the time, too.”

Makenna gave her a glance. “You’re not as pretty as her.”

Dorthy felt a bit humiliated.

“And, just because she says she isn’t, doesn’t mean she isn’t, right? If she were indeed the other woman and got caught, she’d definitely be trying to hide somewhere!”

Chloe stood silently on the side, slightly turned away, sneaking a glance at Rhoda. Since she’d chosen to come forward, there was bound to be more drama. She was curious to see just how much Rhoda hated her.
