The Sleeper's Wrath and His Wife's Strike novel Chapter 70

Naomi instinctively glanced up at the security camera nearby. They were standing directly beneath it—everything that had just happened had been caught on tape.

Tina, noticing the flicker of fear on Naomi’s face, sneered, her words laced with venom. “Tch, bastards like you are nothing but the shameful leftovers from the last generation. No morals, no shame—lying straight to our faces. Do you think we’re all blind? And you dare talk about calling the police?”

Several of Tina’s close work friends knew her personal history, knew the depth of her hatred for anyone born out of wedlock.

They quickly jumped to her defense—after all, women often empathize with each other. “Go ahead and call the cops! Let’s see them arrest her. She started this, and Lindsay was only defending herself. We all witnessed it.”

“So are you going to call the police or not? If you won’t, I’ll do it for you.”

The pressure mounted as everyone urged Naomi on, practically itching to grab her hand and force her to dial 911.

“You’re all being completely unreasonable!” Naomi’s voice cracked with frustration. She broke free from Lindsay’s grip, tears streaming down her face, and bolted out of the room.

She’d barely made it out the door when Tina stormed after her.

Lindsay watched the scene unfold, a frown creasing her brow. Tina’s reaction made no sense—why did she suddenly hate Naomi with such intensity? She seemed even more disgusted than Lindsay herself.

A colleague, ever the office gossip, sidled up to Lindsay and explained quietly, “You’re new, so you probably don’t know. Tina just got divorced. Her husband cheated and had a kid with someone else.”

“That’s why Tina can’t stand anyone born out of wedlock. She calls them the trash nobody wants.”

Suddenly, everything clicked into place for Lindsay. No wonder Tina had flown into a rage the moment she found out about Naomi’s background.

“It’s really tragic, actually. Tina and her ex agreed to stay childfree before they married, but as he got older, he changed his mind and started wanting kids. Poor Tina—she’s in her forties now, and suddenly he expects her to have a baby.”

“When she couldn’t get pregnant, the jerk divorced her. Tina refused, but he cheated anyway, fathered a child with another woman, and drove Tina to the edge. He even moved money out of their joint accounts behind her back. In the end, Tina lost everything.”
