Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones

Chapter 27

Tabitha’s striking beauty, with her impeccably delicate face and the gorgeous dark blue dress,

immediately attracted the attention of onlookers as soon as she entered the venue.

Still on the path to recovery from a significant illness, her complexion bore a trace of frailty as she

moved forward slowly, one step at a time. Her graceful and deliberate steps resembled gliding on the

surface of a deep. blue sea, captivating the attention of everyone as her gown swayed. gracefully.

Even the previously attentive scions, who had been trying to win Naomi’s favor, were now captivated by

Tabitha and completely disregarded the former.

The nearby wealthy ladies and socialites were even more amazed, whispering among themselves,

“Who is this young lady? Why have we never seen her before?”

“Didn’t you see that Mr. Sinclair was the one who escorted her into the venue? I heard he got married

two years ago, so that must be Mrs. Sinclair,” said one of the socialites.

Another lady added, “Mrs. Sinclair is stunning, isn’t she? She and Mr. Sinclair make quite a well–

matched couple…”

When Naomi heard the whispers, her expression contorted slightly with resentment as she shot a

hateful glance at Tabitha.

Just then, Malcolm spotted Naomi and looked in her direction.

Naomi quickly replaced her resentful gaze with a look of sorrow, lightly biting her lower lip, and

appeared utterly aggrieved.

Malcolm felt a pang of guilt and tried comforting her with his gaze.

Standing beside Malcolm, Tabitha observed their interaction and found it. immensely boring.

The air in the venue, filled with flowers, made breathing somewhat uncomfortable for her. Tolerating it,

Tabitha followed Malcolm as they circled the venue. After exchanging pleasantries with several

enthusiastic wealthy ladies, she left the venue.

Tabitha then walked to the hotel’s garden and sat beside the swimming. pool.

It was a quiet place, and Tabitha gradually relaxed.

There was a fountain beside the swimming pool with several beautiful koi swimming inside. Her mood

became increasingly tranquil as she watched the colorful koi gliding through the water.

While Tabitha was absorbed in watching the fish, she suddenly heard a despicable voice saying, “Ms.

Jarvis, why are you sitting here alone?”

Tabitha glanced casually at the newcomer and was too indifferent to bother with a response.

While Naomi harbored jealousy and resentment, Tabitha maintained a calm expression, rendering

Naomi akin to a mediocre clown hopping around.

Thinking about the compliments the wealthy ladies showered on Tabithat and Malcolm, claiming they

were a match made in heaven, Naomi was filled with such bitterness that it felt like the poison in her

heart was about to spill out. She yearned to step forward and rip Tabitha’s beautiful face

apart.

“Ms. Jarvis, aren’t you a capable woman? Even though Malcolm dislikes. you so much, you still

managed to have him attend the evening banquet with you so willingly,” Naomi said sarcastically.

Tabitha was not provoked by her words and responded indifferently, “Well, I’m not as skilled as you

are.”

“As a weak woman, what abilities could I possibly possess?” said Naomi as she masked the darkness

in her eyes, adopting a gentle and shy

expression. “It’s because Malcolm genuinely pitics me and can’t bear to see me upset.”

Tabitha was uninterested in what Naomi had to say. She only wanted to be left alone for a while and

had no desire to engage in conversation with. Naomi.

On the other hand, Naomi couldn’t restrain herself and proudly showed Tabitha the ring on her finger.

“This is the ring Malcolm personally chose for me. Isn’t it beautiful? Though it may not compare to the

one on your hand, I still adore it. After all, it symbolizes Malcolm’s promise to me.”

The diamond on the ring gleamed brightly, causing Tabitha to wince in pain.

However, she was no stranger to Naomi’s tactics and calmed down. instantly.

“From flowers last time to a ring this time, it seems like there’s been a bit of improvement,” said Tabitha,

causing Naomi’s smug expression to waver momentarily.

“What are you proud of? It’s useless even if you pretend to be a goody two shoes. You

still have to hide in your blankets and cry when you go home because Malcolm doesn’t love you,”

retorted Naomi:

Tabitha looked up at her, and the cold sparkle in her eyes caused Naomi to look away. “Naomi Boyle,

even if you shamelessly put on a wedding dress today, you will never become Mrs. Sinclair. You will

forever be the unpresentable mistress as long as I’m here,” said Tabitha.

Naomi gritted her teeth. She hadn’t expected Tabitha to be so tough that

even the ring couldn’t provoke her.

Seeing that there wasn’t anyone around and thinking that Tabitha had been weakened from her

injuries, Naomi raised her hand, intending to slap Tabitha across the face.

Unexpectedly, Tabitha reached out and firmly grabbed her wrist.

Naomi’s wrist was sore from Tabitha’s grip. ‘Heck! Tabitha seems frail and fragile, as if a gust of wind

can blow her away, but her hand’s like a steel claw, and I can’t break free no matter how I struggle, she

thought.

She cried out angrily, “Let go of me! What are you planning to do?”

Tabitha stared at her sharply, saying, “Were you the one who arranged the incident at the Four

Seasons Bar? Vernon is also connected to you, right?”

Naomi never expected that Tabitha could make such accurate guesses, and she suddenly panicked.

She quickly said vaguely, “What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

?” said Tabitha as she “Why bother pretending when Malcolm isn’t here?” said Tabitha as she chuckled

softly. Locking eyes with Naomi, she continued speaking word by word. “Sooner or later, I will send you

and everyone behind you straight to prison!”

“They shall spend the rest of their lives repenting to my parents, who died unjustly!‘ Tabitha made a

vow in silence.

Naomi was slightly surprised and wondered, “Tabitha figured out that someone is secretly supporting

me? What else did she figure out? Could that person also…”

Naomi felt a sudden chill run down her spine as her face turned pale. She then avoided Tabitha’s gaze

with a guilty conscience.

She tried to withdraw her hand, but as she struggled, the ring fell into the

Tabitha, who hadn’t expected this to happen, subconsciously let Naomi go.

Naomi was getting anxious when she saw Malcolm walking toward them. She quickly hatched a plan

and rushed to the edge of the swimming pool, shouting, “Ah, my ring!”
