Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1489
“But, Larry denied that you are his girlfriend. He says that both of you were just acting in front of me,” Joan retorted as she was skeptical of Gabriella’s words.
“I’m not his girlfriend? We are already engaged and everyone in the high society knows that. It was your appearance that has thrown our happy relationship onto the rocks,” Gabriella blatantly lied in order to deal a blow to Joan.
“Larry won’t lie to me. In fact, he has brought me to see his parents.”
Joan began to waver as Gabriella didn’t look like she was lying. However, she still had reason to be confident of her own stand.
“How unscrupulous can you be? So what if you have met his parents? He brought me to see his parents too. Furthermore, both our parents had decided upon the engagement. Joan, do you think someone like you deserves Larry? The Nortons are a distinguished family while you… you are a nobody!”
Just as she spoke, Gabriella grabbed her glass of water and threw it at Joan. Thereafter, she shrieked hysterically, “You are nothing but a vixen that seduces the boyfriends of others!”
Gabriella’s screams had attracted the attention of everyone in the café. They were all watching curiously and ridiculing Joan in front of her.
“Look, everyone! This is the vixen that stole my fiancé. To think that I even treated her as my best friend! Joan, you are nothing but a mistress that destroys the relationship of others!”
Gabriella was so convincing in twisting the facts that the crowd gradually believed that she was the victim.
Within a short time, many of them sympathized with her and their criticism against Joan grew louder.
“This woman is really pretty, why does she need to be a mistress?”
“The prettier they are, the more tempting they become when seducing the fiancé of others!”
“Pfft, what a shameless woman!”
