“No way, this woman is such a fake sweet type. What does any of this have to do with her? Why does she have to apologize?”
“Exactly! This is between the couple, and she’s over here acting all dramatic. Just looking at her, you can tell how much this lady has suffered in her marriage.”
“Jerks like him always get played by these fake innocent girls.”
“Totally. He knows exactly what’s going on, but since he’s not the one hurting, he’s happy, enjoying the best of both worlds.
“Now that his wife is finally waking up and wants to be independent, he’s getting triggered and trying to blame her for everything.”
“Seriously, it’s so gross.”
As the crowd kept gossiping, someone suddenly shouted, “Get lost, you bitch!”
Isabella’s cheeks flushed hot with shame as those words hit her.
She’d only tried to help Logan apologize and protect his dignity because he’d been cold to her earlier, and she wanted to get back in his good graces.
But now, hearing the crowd’s jeers, Isabella looked at Logan, feeling hurt, but all she saw in his eyes was pure disgust.
Her breath caught, and Isabella ducked her head and rushed off.
I go.
After Isabella left, the crowd kept staring at Logan, refusing to let it g
With no other choice, Logan clenched his fists and looked at Eliana. “Are you really sure you want to do this? Eliana, you’re burning all the bridges today. There’s no going back after this.”
“Fine by me. There was never anything left between us anyway,” Eliana replied without hesitation, her eyes locked on Logan.
Logan’s fists clenched in an instant.
He’d held onto even a shred of hope about Eliana’s feelings, but now it was gone.
Anger boiled inside him, but for the first time, Logan felt utterly powerless.
With so many people watching, he could sorry.”

But before Eliana could even respond, the crowd was already up in arms.
“That’s your apology? What about the ninety–degree bow you promised?”
“He knows he messed up, but his apology is so half–assed. I can’t even imagine how he treated his wife before. That’s honestly terrifying.”
“And that bitch earlier? If she’s like that in public, who knows how much worse she is behind the scenes? Good thing this lady finally woke up. Otherwise, it would’ve been seriously scary.”
The crowd’s calls for punishment grew even louder, but Eliana just stood there, silent and unbothered, calmly watching Logan.
Chapter 88
Eliana wanted to see how far Logan would go with his shamelessness.

Back when Eliana always put up with him and made sure everything went his way, Logan looked absolutely untouchable in front of everyone..
Logan was the picture of charm and success and seemed to have a happy family.
With his new projects taking off and Nathan never coming back by the time everything fell apart for her last time around Logan was sitting at the very top of Ockgend’s elite.
Everyone thought he was incredible, but nobody realized he’d built his entire image on Eliana’s back.
And now, just because Eliana stopped playing along and ripped off his mask, he’d fallen apart like this.
Eliana couldn’t help but feel a bitter pang in her chest, pitying the clueless girl she used to be.
Everyone worshiped the successful, and back then, Eliana honestly thought Logan was way out of her league
Eliana bent over backwards, convinced that if she just did everything perfectly, their marriage would hold together.
Now that Eliana looked back, she couldn’t believe how naive she’d been.
Good thing Eliana got another shot at life; otherwise, just thinking about her old self would drive her crazy.
With that thought, Eliana slowly looked up and met Logan’s gaze.
From the look in his eyes, Eliana could tell he was hoping she’d just let it go and give him an out
But there was no way she’d do that.
She remembered all the humiliation and neglect she’d suffered in her previous life, and all those days he’d kept her trapped in endless self–doubt and insecurity with his so–called boundaries.
There was no way Eliana could just forgive and forget.
So there was no way she could just forgive and forget. She stayed silent, her eyes flashing with a hint of mockery.
Seeing her like that, Logan pushed through the crowd and turned to leave.
There was no way he could bring himself to bow and apologize to Eliana and Nathan in front of the whole crowd.
“Mr. Eliot,” Nathan called out, cool and unhurried as he watched Logan try to walk away. “So you accuse us, and now you’re just going to bail? Is this really how the mighty CEO of Eliot Group handles his problems?”
Nathan’s words set off an even bigger uproar among the crowd.
Logan froze in place.
If nobody here knew who he was, Logan could’ve just slipped away without anyone noticing.
But Nathan just had to call him out, and now Logan was backed into a corner.
If Logan walked off now, the gossip would explode, and things could get ugly real fast,
A million thoughts raced through Logan’s mind in an instant.
With his fists clenched, he finally stepped forward again, gave Elana a shallow bow, and muttered, “I’m sorry.”
His
gaze was cold as he continued, “Are you satisfied now, Ms. Lyons?”

“Mr. Turner and I are strictly professional. The only reason I’m here at the hospital with him is that, during a business trip. he got hurt saving me from a car that lost control. So I’m just here for his follow–up check–up.
“So your words just now didn’t only smear me, you dragged Mr.urner into it, too.”
After Eliana said that, Logan gritted his teeth and glared at Nathan, his voice icy. “Mr. Turner, can you really stand here and swear you don’t have even the tiniest bit of interest in my wife?”
Everyone knew guys could read each other like a book, and Logan was no exception when it came to Nathan. That was why he raised his voice on purpose, making sure the whole crowd caught every word.
But Nathan didn’t even blink. “It’s just an apology, Mr. Eliot. A be’s a bet. You lost, so own it. Why drag it out and make things ugly? Stop trying to change the subject. We don’t have time to stand around here all day.”
Nathan never once denied how he felt about Eliana, but he just threw the ball right back into Logan’s court.
With the crowd’s gossip getting louder, Logan finally cracked. Gritting his teeth, he bowed to Nathan and managed a grudging apology.
As soon as he finished, he turned and walked away, not looking back.
Eliana watched Logan walk away, and for some reason, she couldn’t shake off a sense of unease.
The divorce still wasn’t settled yet, and she might’ve just pissed him off a little of spite, that would seriously make her life hell.

Just as that thought crossed her mind, Eliana glanced up and saw Nathan with a smile he could barely hide.
