The Fifth Year of Marriage to Him novel Chapter 306

Chapter 306

What was even more disgusting was that the video was edited. All the insulting things Maricela had said, like “Who the hell do you think you are,” “low–class people,” “country bumpkin vibe,” and “Does Leo meet with just anyone?”

It was like a direct slap in Leo’s face, and so on.

All those things, originally said by Maricela, were edited to look like Lucille said them, leaving only the clips of Maricela whimpering as if she were the one being bullied.

After saying that, she hit the forward button.
