"Ms. Gina, let's keep some distance going forward, alright? I don't want you doing anything that could make my wife misunderstand."

"No way, Colby! Why are you just bowing down to her like that? It's not right to cater to her every whim!"

Gina suddenly got all worked up, pointing a finger at Sophie with fire in her eyes. "This woman keeps telling you to stay away from me, but everyone here knows the truth! She's been out gallivanting these past few days! She's already broken her marriage vows, so why should you stick to yours? A man like you, Colby, deserves better than a cheating wife!"

The more Gina spoke, the more riled up she got, almost ready to rip away Sophie's mask of deceit.

Sophie couldn't help but chuckle at Gina's outburst. How could someone be so naive?

"Ms. Gina, you're spot on. I agree with you; I'm all for a divorce. The only hitch is... Colby isn't on board. Maybe you could try to change his mind."

With Sophie throwing in the towel, Gina rushed to help Colby up from the fountain. But he shrugged her off, and she couldn't even get close.

Gina was taken aback by the scene. Who in their right mind would accept such public humiliation? Especially someone like Colby!

"Mr. Colby, I've always had a thing for you! If you're willing, I'd do anything for you!"

Gina gazed at Colby with hopeful eyes. Hardly anyone would turn down a sweet, sensible girl like her.

But not everyone saw Gina as a catch. Colby was one of those people.

Seeing Colby still planted in the fountain, Gina's expression soured.

Sophie watched from a distance, amused by Gina's predicament.

Just then, Mr. Donny emerged from the crowd, having witnessed the whole debacle. He couldn't believe Colby would go to such lengths for Sophie.

"Ms. Sophie, this is my turf, so let's not go overboard. Gina just admires Colby, and who wouldn't, right? You

can't possibly confront every girl

who fancies him. There are too many folks here, so let's keep it civil. How about today, you let it slide for my sake?"

Sophie's smile widened as she responded, "Mr. Donny, what are you on about? There's no way I'd lose my cool over a young girl like Gina. I'm dealing with my husband, haven't laid a finger on Gina. How am 10 overstepping? Besides, Colby isn't into her. Gina was the one declaring her feelings in front of me, trying to play the other woman. I was hoping you'd set her straight."

"You..."Content held by .

Mr. Donny's face turned stormy. "How can you say such things? Gina simply..."

"I know what you're getting at, Mr. Donny. You want to say your daughter has a soft spot for Colby, right?"

Sophie flashed a knowing smile. "I

heard it all, she's quite taken with

him. Everyone here heard it too. Gina

was just urging Colby to divorce me. You caught that, didn't you, Mr. Donny?" en
