Not softly. Not politely. But with a force that surprised even me.
I laughed so hard that everyone looked at me as if I’d lost control. Jonathan frowned and asked me what was funny.
I wiped away a tear and looked him straight in the eyes with calm clarity. “My husband, have you completely lost your mind?” I asked slowly.
He seemed irritated and demanded to know what I meant. I tilted my head slightly and told him he’d forgotten something extremely important.
The room fell silent as they waited. Jonathan crossed his arms and told me to explain.
I walked further into the living room and carefully placed the bottle of champagne on the table. “For three years, I’ve been paying off your business loan,” I said calmly.
Vanessa chuckled and said they already knew because Jonathan had told her everything. I smiled politely and shook my head.
“Oh no, he definitely didn’t tell you everything,” I replied calmly.
Jonathan frowned and told me to stop being so dramatic, clearly thinking I was creating unnecessary tension. I reached into my bag, pulled out a folder, and placed it on the coffee table.
Inside were the official loan documents he’d signed when his company was on the verge of bankruptcy. Patricia leaned forward slightly and asked what they should look at.
I opened the folder to the last page and pointed to a specific section. Jonathan looked down in disinterest, but confusion soon took over.
“What is this?” Vanessa asked, leaning over his shoulder.
I crossed my arms and looked at him carefully. “Do you remember when the bank rejected your loan application, then?” I asked.
