Chapter 409
Cynthia promptly grabbed Queena by the arm and gently shook her head. “It’s beneath us to get into a fight with someone whose values are so
“But that woman’s so mean, Queena said as she frowned deeply and glared at the foul–mouthed woman outside.
Raising an eyebrow, Cynthia shot Queena a meaningful smile before starting the car.
The parking lot was filled with vehicles at this time, and conventionally, one should drive slowly to avoid bumping into other vehicles. Yet, as Cynthia started the car, she floored the gas pedal, causing the car to swiftly dart toward the parking spot.
Outside, Marina continued her sarcastic trade. The world is really going downhill. Women who sell themselves now have the nerve to strut around like this. Some people are just playthings for others and still feel proud about it. It’s disgusting.”
“I wonder if you each serve your own sugar daddy or if you share the same one. Tsk tsk, your fake friendship seems really deep. I wonder if you’ll Turn on each other when it’s time to get picked for the night,” she added.
Marina’s words flowed more smoothly as her mind filled with more vile thoughts. She was determined to take out her frustration from the antique shop incident here.
Even as she saw Cynthia’s car speeding toward her, she remained calm, convinced that in broad daylight, these two women wouldn’t dare hit her. But as the car got closer without slowing down, her voice began to tremble.
She realized it was too late to dodge, and fear finally crept in. She thought she might have encountered two lunatics willing to commit murder in the middle of the street,
Betting her safety at the mercy of others, Marina started to regger her actions. She had worked hard for years to achieve her current status and
didn’t want to die here
The car’s engine roared loudly as Marina’s terrified eyes met Cynthia’s cold gaze. Cynthia’s lips curled into a mocking smile.
At the last possible moment, Marina, scared out of her wits, fell to the ground, her hair whipping across her face from the wind created by the car
“Ah!” Marina’s scream and the screeching of the brakes sounded simultaneously, followed by a sudden silence.
The pain didn’t come. Marina took a deep breath to calm her racing heart before slowly opening her eyes.
She found herself face–to–face with the car’s imposing bumper and its prestigious emblem. Dust swirled around her, some of it getting into her lungs and making her cough uncontrollably.
Cynthia finally got out of the car, leaning casually against it, and watched Marina’s embarrassment with amusement.
She glanced at the ground beneath Marina and shook her head. “You’ve got some nerve, not wetting yourself in fear.
Though it sounded like praise for her bravery, Marina knew it was a mockery. She didn’t move because she felt her underwear was a bit damp. She believed that if she hadn’t held it in, these two women would have had a good laugh at her expense.
Queena also got out of the car to enjoy the show. “Your filthy mouth finally got you in trouble. Now you know to shut it. Out of the three of us, you seem the most likely to be a homewrecker
Queena looked disdainfully at Marina’s outfit. “With that heavy makeup you wear, even your mom wouldn’t recognize you, and look at your deep V–neck, tight high–waisted top, and miniskirt. Didn’t you look in the mirror before leaving your home? This outfit is only suitable for coming out at night. During the day, you might get mistaken for a streetwalker.”
Marina’s face, already pale from fear, turned even paler with anger. She clenched her fingers tightly against the ground and thought, Tim so unlucky to encounter such situations twice in a row. Being mistaken for a streetwalkert How dare she say that I’m a manager in a Fortune 500 company.
And what’s wrong.
ng with my outfit? I have a great figure, and this outfit could attract countless men’s eyes, some of whom might have the resources I
Queena, seeing Marina’s fake pitiful look, rolled her eyes. She couldn’t help but shout, “Hey, hey, hey, why are you still staying there? If you don’t move, do you really want to get run over?”
Marina was still shaken by what had just happened, but she wasn’t willing to let them off after being bullied like this. Moreover, they compared her to a streetwalker, which made her even more uncomfortable. She lowered her head angrily, trying to think of a countermeasure.
Since these two women braked, they were probably just trying to scare me. After all, we’re in a country with strict laws. If they kill someone, no matter how powerful the backing they have, they will still be brought to justice, Marina thought, looked around, and then lay down on the ground, pretending to be injured.

Chapter 409
Cynthia and Queena exchanged a look, both reading the same thought in each other’s eyes. Is she going to fake an injury and blackmail us!
Sure enough, their suspicions were confirmed by what happened next.
As soon as Marina lay down, she started wailing. “Help! These two heartless women hit me! I can’t movet Someone call the police!”
Despite her youthful appearance and somewhat feminine looks, Marina’s voice was anything but pleasant. Her cries quickly drew the attention of people nearby.
A crowd soon gathered around them, their minds filling in the blanks with what they thought had happened based on the screeching brakes they had heard earlier,
In situations like this, people tended to sympathize with the apparent victim and claim the moral high ground, pointing fingers at Cynthia and Queena.
“I can’t believe these young girls could be so cruel, hitting someone like that.”
Thope the girl isn’t seriously hurt.”
They say internal injuries are worse than external ones. She might be suffering inside
The onlookers, with their limited knowledge, began diagnosing the situation with unwarranted confidence.

Of all the terrible translations this is by far the worst. Garbled rubbish with different languages in between. I wouldn't recommend this novel!...
