Sheila's eyes were filled with disappointment.
It felt like a heavy blow struck her heart, but only for a moment. She quickly smiled as if nothing had happened.
"Mr. Thomas, in what capacity are you asking me to just let this go?"
Sheila made no effort to save Jacques' face.
Jacques frowned slightly, his voice low as he replied, "We're husband and wife."
Sheila's response was swift and firm.
"That ended years ago. If you're here as Vivian's lover to persuade me, then there's no chance I'll grant you any courtesy."
Jacques' face darkened instantly. His jaw tightened as he defended himself. "Vivian and I are not what you think."
Sheila ignored him and decisively dialed the police. Her tone was cold and methodical as she reported the incident at the hospital.
