“I really think that I must have been blind before to like the same man as you!”
Yvette's fake appearance was really disgusting.
“Sarah, just admit it! You have ulterior motives toward Juan!” Yvette continued to shout. “Don't forget that he's my fiancé! No matter what you do, you can never have him!”
Juan looked at the cold and indifferent Sarah.
She had just admitted that she had liked him before, but now she had decided to forget about him.
These words were still deeply imprinted in his mind.
“Sarah, there's no need to argue with them anymore. Juan, your fiancée bullied Sarah and even slapped her. You saw it too. What should we do about this?”
Scum!
There is no need to be polite to scum like him. Just whack the shit out of him!
“Sorry, Sarah!” Juan apologized directly. He really didn't expect Yvette to do such a thing.
Yvette was stunned.
“Juan, I...”
I was also slapped!
Why is he apologizing to them?
“Apologize to Sarah now!” Juan pushed Yvette out.
Yvette looked at Juan incredulously.
“What did I do wrong? I was also hit, but now you want me to apologize. Juan, how can you treat me like this?”
“Apologize!” Juan's voice became stern.
Yvette bit her lower lip until it bled.
She reluctantly said, “I'm sorry.” After all, if Juan really gave up on her, she would be at a loss.
The onlookers were still whispering.
Sarah really didn't want to hear the bit*hing.
“This is the last time. If your fiancée comes to provoke me again, I won't hold back! You know what I'm capable of!”
After saying that, Sarah turned and went back to her room.
Sophie and Ysabelle were still outside.
“Juan, get a grip on your fiancée. The Lombard family is no doormat.” Ysabelle pitied her aunt. Juan is just trash.
“Sophie, let's go in!”
Sophie didn't say much. She just looked at Juan coldly. However, her gaze made Juan shiver.
Oh, my. She is just a young woman, but she has such a terrifying gaze.
Sophie and Ysabelle went into Sarah's room. How could they leave Sarah alone at a time like this?
“What are you all still standing around for?” Juan's face was very gloomy.
Even before he knew that Sarah liked him, he would never allow anyone to bully her!
The others saw that he was not someone they could mess with, so they could only leave quietly.
Yvette didn't know what he was thinking now. All she knew was that his expression was really scary!
“Um...”
Yvette usually wasn't afraid of Juan, but right now she didn't know what to say!
“Juan, I...”
“Yvette, do you think that just because we're engaged, you can do whatever you want? Do you know the status of the Lombard family in Jipsdale? If Tristan felt like it, he can completely destroy us. Do you understand?”
Why is this woman so foolish?
She can't be of any help, yet she still manages to cause trouble for me.
Yvette was a little panicked.
“Juan, I didn't mean anything else. I just love you too much. She likes you, and besides, I didn't do anything to her! The Lombard family may be powerful, but they can't just bully someone the way they like, right?”
Yvette's eyes were filled with tears.
“All right, you can go back now. I'll apologize to Sarah at a later time,” Juan said coldly.
“Go back where?” Yvette asked.
“Go back to Chanaea.”
Gosh! She has caused too much trouble. I don't want to see her face!
Yvette was completely panicked now.
“But aren't we here to attend a dinner banquet this time? If I leave, who will be your companion?”
“You don't have to worry about that. Just go back.” Juan didn't feel like talking to her at all.
As Juan walked away, he couldn't stop thinking about how to handle the situation and deal with Sarah.
Yvette stood there, feeling even more anxious.
She had only slapped Sarah once. It wasn't such a big deal, so why did Juan treat her like this?
Does he still have feelings for Sarah?
If he does, what should I do?
I won't let that happen!
Meanwhile, in the room, Sarah was laughing at the two girls who were sitting on the couch and guarding her.
“I have told you guys that I'm fine!” Sarah knew that these two girls were genuinely concerned about her, but even if they stayed here with her, it wouldn't help!” I'm not the kind of young girl who will take my own life over this!”
She was already in her thirties.
She really knew what she was doing.
She wouldn't be affected by such a small incident because she knew that there were many people around her who cared for her.
“That d*mn Yvette! I never liked her anyway. She's just engaged to Juan and already acts like she's invincible in the entertainment industry. In the past, no matter how she acted, it had nothing to do with me. But now she's bullying you, so I can't tolerate it no matter what.”
Ysabelle had never been so angry before.
She wasn't a petty person.
But Yvette was seriously something else. She was able to drive Ysabelle up the wall.
Seeing her all riled up, Sarah couldn't help but laugh.
“Chill, it was just a slap. I'm fine. I know you guys care about me, but it's getting late. Let's hit the sack as we still have plans to go out tomorrow, right?” We can't let those two assh*les ruin our plan.
“Okay, Sarah. Rest early. Hey, why don't you sleep with Ysabelle tonight?”
Sophie wasn't worried or anything. She just wanted someone to keep Sarah company so she wouldn't feel so down.
“Yup, the bed's big enough for both of us, so why not? I'll stay with you tonight, Aunt Sarah.” Ysabelle didn't want Sarah to be alone either.
She wanted to make sure Sarah didn't overthink things.
Sarah shook her head.
“No, I'm fine. I just need some alone time. You guys should head back.”
She was grown enough to handle her emotions.
“Alright then. You take care. It's already late. Don't wander around, okay?” Sophie still had her doubts.
But she didn't say too much since she knew Sarah didn't want the attention.
Sophie and Ysabelle left the room, and Sarah finally let her smile fade. She was the heiress of the Lombard family, so she always had to keep up appearances and maintain the family's reputation.
Even if she had been hurt, she refused to let it show.
But now, she couldn't hold back the tears anymore. She no longer tried to keep a brave face and simply let her tears out freely.
