His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 818

Mr. Wallace, the event's host, rushed over. He began dabbing at Ramona's hair and face with a napkin while glaring at Jonathan. As the organizer of the charity gala and a close partner of the Quinn Group, he couldn't just stand by while Ramona was publicly assaulted.

"Are you trying to disrespect me, Mr. Thomas, by causing a scene at my event?" Quincy demanded.

Faced with the accusation, Jonathan simply smiled. "You're mistaken, Mr. Wallace…"

At that, Quincy’s tense expression relaxed slightly, assuming an apology was coming.

"You're not important enough for me to offend."

Instantly, Quincy's face fell. "Jonathan! Don't push your luck."

Jonathan met his furious glare with an indifferent shrug. "You're so quick to defend Miss Quinn, Mr. Wallace. Aren't you afraid your wife will find out you two are sleeping together?"

Jonathan's casual remark not only implicated Wallace but also deepened Ramona's humiliation. Whispers erupted around them as guests started murmuring and pointing at the two of them. The situation was spiraling out of Wallace's control. He had organized this gala to restore his company's image, but now… The hatred he felt for Jonathan was bone-deep.

Ramona felt the same, but her fury was directed primarily at Niamh. Everything happening to her right now was because Jonathan was seeking revenge on her behalf.

"Niamh, shall we go?" Jonathan asked, gently placing a hand on the small of her back.

"Yes, your suit is ruined," Niamh said, her gaze filled with a mix of guilt and concern.
