- I’ll never forgive such a despicable man!
- “I bet this is just a case of sour grapes. Anna Garcia, no man would want a woman like you!”
- Mabel looked at me haughtily, her voice filled with disdain.
- “Plenty of men like Anna! Only a scumbag like Justin Xenakis will be blinded and fall for a skank like you!” Natalie shot back, irritated at her arrogant demeanor.
- “Oh, really? There are actually men who like her? Alright, then call her man over to prove that it’s true. I want to see what kind of man takes a fancy to someone like her.”
- Mabel knew how much I loved Justin as he used to be the most prevalent subject whenever we hung out.
- Back then, I regarded her as my best friend. Every time she inquired about Justin, I thought she was merely showing concern for me. Feeling that there should be no secrets between good friends, I never kept anything from her, telling her everything she wanted to know.
- In retrospect, I was truly foolish back then! She didn’t ask me about Justin out of concern. Instead, she did so for her own sake as she wanted to seduce him!
- “Why are you not calling him over? I bet no one likes her, right?”
- Mabel’s taunt once again rang out, staring at me haughtily with a triumphant expression on her face.
- As she had stolen my fiancé, all pretense of civility between us was gone. Hah! She must be very smug that my fiancé is now her man, huh? Whatever!
- In the face of her tyrannical attitude, I spun on my heels to leave without paying any heed to her. However, she didn’t allow me to leave, grabbing onto me aggressively.
- “Stop while you’re ahead, Mabel Quintrell! What else do you want when you’ve already won?”
- Whirling around abruptly, I shot daggers at her. D*mn it! This woman has really gone overboard!
- Just when she was about to say something, I caught sight of a man a stone’s throw away. All at once, my lips curved into a sneer. “You want to know who my man is, yes? Okay, I’ll show you right this instance!” I stated coldly.
- After saying that, I strode toward Michael, who was within sight. I had no idea why he was here, nor was it any concern of mine.
- Anyhow, I just wanted to rub it into Mabel’s face. The moment I reached him, I took his arm and gazed at him with a sweet smile. “Why are you here, Darling? Did you come to surprise me?”
- My sudden appearance caught Michael off guard, and he was stunned for a moment. When he recognized me, his handsome face darkened, and he was seemingly vexed.
- Well, he must be thinking that I’m pestering him, huh? Anyway, I don’t have the time to explain everything to him. Justin and Mabel are here, so I have no choice but to use him so that I won’t have to slink away with my tail between my legs!
- “It’s you? Why are you here?”
- Michael kept his voice lowered, but I could still sense the rage in his tone.
- “Please do me a favor since I gave you my first time.”
- I didn’t know the kind of person he was, nor did I have any idea whether he would play along with me. In truth, I really hadn’t much confidence in my plan.
- Michael regarded me with displeasure. His gaze was profound and unfathomable, so I couldn’t quite discern his thoughts. Nonetheless, I could sense that he was an exceedingly dangerous person.
