Chapter 204
Moira said, “No…”
Juliet asked, “Then why are you so angry?”
Moira sighed deeply, completely calm now as she softly replied, “Actually, I blackmailed him to marry me.”
“What!” Juliet was shocked. “This is not what you said before.”
Back then, Moira had told Juliet that their marriage was a mutual agreement, and Barclay had agreed to it.
So Juliet had always known that Moira and Barclay’s marriage wasn’t genuine. Occasionally, she would joke about it, but she always knew where to draw the line.
But now, it seemed like there was more to the story…
Moira chuckled awkwardly. “At that time, I just wanted to get away from the Guzman family and was afraid you’d think less of me, so I told a
little lie!”
Juliet commented, “How mature of you, Moira.”
Just a little lie?
Moira waved her hand dismissively. “It’s not a big deal.”
Juliet was speechless. She realized that Moira’s audacity was increasing.
Moira confessed the whole truth about what happened back then and then explained, “Barclay was quite passive about it, so I don’t like hearing people call him an adulterer!”
Even though she was the one who initiated everything, Barclay had agreed to her unreasonable request to take responsibility.
Moira just felt guilty about the label “adulterer” being applied to Barclay.
Juliet didn’t know it went like that and suddenly understood why Moira had exploded earlier.
After being stirred up by Barbara like that, Moira wasn’t in the mood to continue shopping even though she hadn’t bought Aiken’s birthday
gift yet.
The two of them bought some coffee and stood by the window of the boutique.
Juliet took a big gulp of her coffee and suggested, “How about we go home?”
Moira glanced at her. “Good idea.”
Since Juliet had to work late into the evening, they couldn’t have dinner together, so they said their goodbyes.
Moira hailed a taxi back to the villa, feeling a bit guilty about what happened earlier,
Actually, she felt like she had overreacted a bit. Oh, the perils of falling for a man!
Saturday in the city center was congested with traffic, and cars moving slowly and stopping frequently. Moira struggled to stay awake for ten minutes before drifting off to sleep.

Chapter 204
Meanwhile, as Barclay arrived home from work, his phone suddenly received a video message from Harvey.
He raised an eyebrow, not intending to open it since it was probably nothing good.
However, while changing his clothes, Barclay accidentally clicked on the video.
In the video, Moira was seen holding a cup of water and splashing it onto another woman’s face.

After splashing, she coldly warned the woman, “Remember to bring your brain when you go out! Think before you speak. If I hear you say anything bad about Barclay again, I’ll splash sulfuric acid on you. Understand?”
Afterward, Moira walked away, angrily throwing the paper cup at the woman’s face.
Barclay had just finished watching the video when Harvey, shameless as ever, sent a message. [Barclay, your wife is quite something!]
Barclay: [Thanks.]
Harvey: […Watch out for domestic violence!]
Barclay: [I’ll buy a few more boxes of contraceptives.]
Harvey: [What?]
Harvey: [Your wife knows you’re so horny?]
Barclay cursed inwardly, ‘None of your business!‘ He snorted lightly, not wanting to respond to Harvey at all.
It was time for him to go swimming!
