The Year I Was the Other Woman To Myself novel Chapter 245

Anna had been focused on provoking Penelope and hadn't paid Rebecca any mind, so the sudden attack caught her completely off guard. But she retaliated just as quickly. While everyone else was still stunned, she grabbed her own cup and threw the coffee right back.

"Who the hell do you think you are, starting a fight with me?"

"You!" Rebecca trembled with rage. "You're in my house, hitting on my husband right in front of me, and you have the nerve to throw coffee at me…"

Before Rebecca could finish, Anna's anger flared and she barked, "Zebulon!"

The sharp command made Zebulon flinch. A flicker of annoyance crossed his face, but he didn't hesitate. He shot up, grabbed a napkin, and began dabbing at Anna's face.

"Ms. Flores is our guest! You've gone too far! Apologize to her right now!" he snapped at Rebecca while tending to Anna.

Rebecca stared at him, her eyes wide with disbelief. "You want me to apologize to her?"

"You were the one in the wrong!"

"She put her foot right in your—"

"Enough! How Ms. Flores and I interact is none of your business!"

"I'm your wife!"

"You call yourself a wife?"

The words hit Rebecca like a physical blow. She staggered back, tears welling in her eyes, a storm of anger and hurt raging inside her.

Mrs. Sullivan came out with two plates of pastries, having witnessed the entire exchange. She shot Rebecca a venomous glare before turning to Anna with an apologetic smile. "She doesn't know any better, Ms. Flores. Please don't hold it against her."

Anna's eyes hardened. She slapped Zebulon's hand away. "I was actually thinking of discussing the Zenith Group project with Zebulon today, but on second thought, let's just forget it."

With that, she made to leave.

"That project is crucial for Stone Group! We must talk about it!" Mrs. Sullivan cried, rushing to block Anna's path.

Anna sneered. "I'm not in the mood anymore."

Mrs. Sullivan's eyes darted around. She hurried over to Rebecca and gave her a shove. "Look at you! How dare you stand there crying? Apologize to Ms. Flores this instant!"
