Right at that moment, Tessa felt a strong gust of wind blowing toward her.
Frightened, Tessa stumbled backward and fell to the floor.
“Do you know what you lack compared to the women by Jared's side now?” Lyanna shot Tessa a smug smile. “How can you be of use to Jared when you're nothing but a pretty face? As for us, not only are we pretty, but we also know martial arts.”
The wind Tessa felt earlier was the result of Lyanna swinging a punch at her from a distance. Lyanna was sick of watching the woman clinging onto Jared.
In truth, Lyanna had fallen head over heels for Jared after spending a few days with him in Mapleton. Hence, she was jealous when she saw how Tessa acted in front of him.
“Are you all right, Ms. Snyder?” Jared asked hurriedly before helping her up.
Tessa was enraged. She gritted her teeth and glared at Lyanna. “I can learn martial arts as well! Sooner or later, I'll be better than all of you.
When the time comes, I'll show you that I’m not just a pretty face. “
With that, Tessa left the mansion in tears. Being a superstar, she had never been through such a humiliation.
After Tessa left, Jared shot Lyanna a helpless look. “Don't you think you’ve crossed the line?”
“What's wrong? Do you feel bad for her? What if the person who fell down was me? Will you be heartbroken as well?” Lyanna looked at Jared with hopeful eyes while anticipating a straight answer.
“Uh... I think I have something cooking in the kitchen. I better go check it out!” Jared lowered his head and ran toward the kitchen because he didn't know how to answer her.
In response, Lyanna pursed her lips and grumbled softly to herself, “I don't care how many women you have by your side. I'll get my hands on you eventually!”
After a simple dinner, Jared locked himself in his room and cultivated.
