The room was still buzzing with whispers and hushed conversations as the unexpected reunion with Paul sent shockwaves through the party. Anne, Paul's mother, was equally taken aback by the revelation, her face a mask of disbelief.
"No, it's not possible. How is that possible when I ordered them to give him the medicine?" Anne muttered, her voice trembling with confusion and shock.
Paul, tears streaming down his face, couldn't contain his anger and despair any longer. He shouted at me, his voice filled with betrayal and heartache. "How dare you betray me, Elena?" His words echoed through the room, cutting through the awkward silence like a knife.
The sudden outburst drew the attention of the party guests, who had been privy to the emotional confrontation. The whispers grew louder, and judgmental comments began to circulate among them.
"So Mrs. Houston has a lover too," someone whispered, the words carrying a tone of scandalous gossip.
