Chapter 297 Nancy Reed
The moment she walked in, everyone noticed her.
She had a strong build that stood out, and what she said was pretty interesting too.
Nancy Reed, Charles' wife, thought Karen was trying to seduce him.
This was juicy gossip, and everyone was eager to see what would happen.
Karen looked panicked when she saw Nancy and quickly said, "Nancy, don't be ridiculous. There's nothing between Charles and me!"
Charles explained, "Honey, it's not true. You know I'm loyal!"
"Yeah, right!"
Nancy slapped Charles hard.
She yelled, "Charles, I know exactly what you're like. You're always cheating. You go dancing every night just to hook up with those trashy women!"
Charles rubbed his cheek, feeling embarrassed with everyone watching. He frowned and said, "Let's talk about this at home. It's not good to make a scene here."
"Oh, now you care about making a scene?"
Nancy sneered, not holding back. "At your age, you're still so shameless! I might overlook you fooling around, but why with Karen? Don't you know what kind of person she is? She's the worst! If you cheat with her, what will people think of me? How can I face others? Do you want to die?"
She punched Charles in the chest, and even though he was big, he stumbled back a few steps.
Charles hung his head, not daring to say anything.
The crowd started whispering,
"Wow, Nancy's tough. She treats Charles like a dog!"
"Did you hear? Karen has a bad rep around here. Doesn't match what she said at all."
"One thing's for sure, Karen's definitely having an affair with Charles!"
With the gossip, Karen's face turned red with anger. She couldn't take the insult.
She got up, pointed at Nancy, and shouted, "You old cow! You're the bitch! Your whole family are bitches! A bunch of lowly cows!"
Nancy's eyes widened at the "old cow" comment.
She turned to Karen and said, "Did you just call me a bitch?"
Karen snapped back, "Yeah, I did! You're a fat old cow, no wonder Charles is sick of you. It's normal for him to have lovers. He should divorce you!"
"Shameless bitch! I'll kill you!"
Nancy, shaking with rage, lunged at Karen, and they started wrestling.
"Old sow! Rotten ass!"
"Bitch, I'll rip your mouth apart!"
They traded insults and yanked at each other's hair and eyes.
In no time, Nancy had Karen pinned to the ground.
Nancy straddled her and slapped her hard. "This is for seducing Charles, you bitch!"
Karen's face was bruised and swollen from the slaps.
Pinned down, Karen could only scream for help, hoping someone would step in.
The crowd backed away, not wanting to get involved.
Desperate, Karen cried out to Charles, "Charles! I can't take it anymore. Save me! Control Nancy. She's going to kill me!"
Charles looked torn, unsure of what to do.
Karen pleaded, "Charles, what about the promises you made to me? Have you forgotten them? Save me!"
Charles took a deep breath and clenched his fists, ready to step in.
But Nancy turned and shouted, "Charles, if you move another inch, I'll cut off your manhood and throw it into Elmrest River to feed the fish!"
Charles froze in fear.
He knew Nancy well enough to know she meant it.
Promises? Dignity? They meant nothing compared to his life.
Kyle had already hidden in the crowd, scared out of his mind.
With no one left to help, Karen was utterly desperate.
Nancy took the chance to keep hitting Karen and started tearing at her clothes. "I want everyone to see that a shameless bitch like you doesn't deserve to wear clothes! You should be stripped naked for everyone to see!"
Karen's top was torn open, exposing her arm.
No matter how tough Karen was, she couldn't stand the thought of being stripped in public.
Terrified, she screamed, "I won't do it again! I swear I won't! Nancy, please spare me!"
Nancy glared at her. "What if you have an affair with Charles again?"
Karen, trembling, said, "I'll do whatever you want!"
Nancy, still fierce, shouted, "If I catch you again, I'll strip you naked and tie you to the door with a sign that says, 'I'm Houston's cheapest whore, five dollars a sex!' Got it?"
Karen nodded quickly, showing she understood.
"Good!"
Nancy got off Karen and grabbed Charles by the collar, dragging him away.
Charles was likely to receive another beating later.
As for Karen and Kyle, they were utterly humiliated.
Their plan had failed.
Amidst the mocking and jeering of the onlookers, Karen and Kyle ran away in disgrace.
Karen even lost a shoe and didn't have time to pick it up.
