Chapter 2

"That minx is so shameless. She's living in such a luxurious neighborhood! I know my husband works hard to earn his keep, so I've never asked him for much. God knows how much money that minx has taken from my husband!"

Jinny was still cursing up a storm in her live-stream. Her pretty face was flushed from the anger.

She brought a small group of people with her, and they looked quite intimidating. The security guard had wanted to stop them at the entrance but gave up once he learned they were there to catch a mistress.

He didn't want to meddle in other people's family matters, so he looked the other way and let them in.

So, the mistress she was talking about lived in my neighborhood?

What a coincidence that was.

I wanted to keep watching, but the camera was unstable and was shaking. There was also a lot of static noise. I quickly lost interest in the livestream.

I turned it off and went back to the movie I was watching before.

After a while, I heard someone knocking heavily on my door. I thought the boba tea I ordered had arrived, so I eagerly went to open the door.

I did not expect to see an angry Jinny at my door. She glared at me with a terrifying expression on her face.

I started to have a bad feeling about what was about to happen.

The people behind Jinny began to shout as they pointed the cameras at me.

"You homewrecker! This is that shameless mistress, right? Today, we'll be doing everyone a favor by beating her up."

"Look at this place. The corridor is so long. How many rooms are there?"

"That's not true! You've got the wrong person. I don't even have a boyfriend. I'm not even talking to any man at the moment. How can I be a mistress?"

Although I had no idea what was going on, I quickly refuted their claims.

"Mary Hopkins! You were one of my closest friends. Why would you try to take my man from me? You're disgusting! Get out of my husband's house now!"

The people standing behind Jinny started to get excited again after she said that.

It was such an unbelievable turn of events! The mistress was actually a close friend of the wife! It was true that women had to keep an eye on their close friends!

"I'm not a close friend of hers! We used to be classmates and roommates. We never talked much since our personalities were too different!

"Do not slander me. I'm not a mistress, and I'm not a close friend of hers. Get out of my house right now!"

They were driving me insane. I said I wasn't the mistress they were looking for. What else did they want?

More and more people were gathering near my door. They were probably my neighbors who were attracted by the commotion.

The growing crowd only made me even more upset.

"Mistresses are so shameless! You had the gall to do something like that, but why don't you have the guts to own up to it? The proof is all here. Take a look for yourself. Let's see what you have to say after that."

Jinny covered her stomach with one of her arms and held her phone toward the camera with the other.

"Everyone, take a look at this. My husband bought so many things online, and he used this address for all of them."

Didn't she say she was going to show me proof? Why did she hold her phone so far away from me? I had no choice but to move my head closer to her.

Jinny tapped on her phone, and at that instant, I saw that her phone's wallpaper was a selfie of her with my dad.

"You homewrecker! You've been dating someone's husband. How dare you call him 'honey'? What do you have to say for yourself?"

The picture Jinny showed was a screenshot of a conversation between my parents.
