I had his baby, I live in his mansion, drive one of his prized supercars, spend his money, and even have his family's staff waiting on me!"The room goes dead silent.Every eye turns to Kathleen. After all, she's Greg's wife, and everyone is waiting for her to lose it.But Kathleen doesn't cry or make a scene.When a server comes by to refill her glass, she simply says, "Thank you," as calmly as ever.
