Rita bit her lip and murmured, Lyndon, dont you believe me? Everything I said is true! Your wife accused me of trying to snatch you from her just because your cousin spoke to me.
She even called me a shameless woman.
How could she say that? Yes, I admire you and have feelings for you, but I never intended to pursue you! If you dont believe me, Id rather prove my innocence with my life! With that, she started to walk towards the middle of the road, tears streaming down her face.
Lyndons brow furrowed, his lips pressed into a thin Line.
Watching Rita dash into the street as cars honked and rushed past, he opened the car door with a stern expression. Just as he stepped out, a woman hurried over, pulling Rita back to the roadside.
Lyndon paused, his gaze sharpening as he recognized the newcomer.
It was Myra, clutching a handbag, likely just off work.
Lyndon then approached the two women.
By the roadside, Myra held Rita firmly, her eyes blazing with anger.
This manipulative woman was pestering him again? And now, she was running into traffic as if to end her life.
What was she trying to do? Did she think threatening suicide would win Lyndons sympathy? In such a situation, Lyndon couldnt simply stand by, but stepping in would certainly cause a scandal.
Myra was annoyed and thought that Rita was truly despicable! Myras voice cut through the tension.
You are Rita, right? Save yourself some dignity and stop pestering a married man, okay? Arent you afraid of being judged and looked down upon by others? Rita was furious. Who was this woman, coming out of nowhere and wrecking her carefully crafted plan? She had been determined to prove her innocence with a bold move, confident that Lyndon wouldnt truly ignore her.
The moment he saved her, it would surely infuriate Tilda.
But then, unexpectedly, this woman had shown up.
Rita felt an urge to push her into the oncoming traffic.
Yet, as she caught sight of Lyndon approaching from the corner of her eye, she continued her act, letting tears stream down her cheeks as she feigned vulnerability.
