Being Pursued By Ex-husband novel Chapter 612

Chapter 612 You Are Indeed A Joke

“Long time no see, Charlize! You sure have outdone yourself, haven’t you?” Jacqueline said, her tone dripping with sarcasm.

Charlize swallowed the blueberries she was chewing on and wiped her mouth with a paper towel before turning to face Jacqueline.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Charlize replied with a confused shrug.

That seemed to have struck a nerve with Jacqueline. “Don’t get so full of yourself just yet, Charlize. Spencer is only with you because of your good looks!”

Charlize wasn’t angered by her statement in the slightest. While insulting someone was still beyond her, she had gotten a bit more confident after working with Spencer for a year and a half and could at least deliver a few witty comebacks.

Acting as though Jacqueline was complimenting her, Charlize replied with a genuine smile, “Oh? Thanks for the compliment. I think I’m pretty good-looking too.”

The look on Jacqueline’s face changed the moment she heard those words. “There are plenty of girls who look way better than you do out there! Spencer is only toying with you!” she yelled through clenched teeth.

Katrina, who was standing next to her, chimed in as well, “Yeah! So what if you’re Spencer’s girlfriend? A man of his status will only come across much prettier women later on in life! You’re nothing but his plaything!”

Charlize got a little angry when she heard that. She didn’t think Spencer was toying with her, nor could she accept the way they were insulting his character.

However, Charlize wasn’t good at arguing with people, so she didn’t really have much to say in response. On top of that, she found Jacqueline and Katrina’s behavior to be extremely childish.

“So?” Charlize asked with a confused pout.

Jacqueline and Katrina had only said all that to spite Charlize. In truth, they actually had no idea if Spencer was serious about dating her. Unable to stand seeing the two of them together, Jacqueline and Katrina decided to take advantage of Spencer’s absence to provoke Charlize.

Jacqueline had hoped that Charlize would start to doubt Spencer’s intentions and quarrel with him later on. This would only serve to benefit her.

As such, Charlize’s nonchalant response caught Jacqueline completely off guard and left her speechless. Jacqueline had been prepared to get into a yelling match with Charlize, but she suddenly found herself unsure of what to say.

“What point are you two trying to make by saying all of that? Have you two asked Spencer what he thinks? Was he the one who told you two that he’s just toying with me?”

Jacqueline and Katrina exchanged confused glances in response. For a second there, they couldn’t quite tell if Charlize was actually that dense or just faking it.

Haven’t we made ourselves clear enough? Why would she ask us what we’re trying to say? Does Charlize have no self-esteem or something? How does she not feel anything after being insulted like this?

The look on Jacqueline’s face changed as she stared at Charlize and asked, “What happened to your self-esteem? How do you not feel upset after everything we’ve said?”

“Why would I be upset? Those words came out of your mouths, not Spencer’s. Besides, you two have always been known for spreading rumors in class, so why would I believe your words at all?” Charlize asked while taking a sip of her orange juice.

Not wanting to waste any more of her time arguing with them, she got up and walked off with her orange juice.

Angered, Jacqueline reached out and grabbed Charlize by the arm, yanking her back forcefully.

Charlize didn’t see it coming, so she was caught off guard and spilled the orange juice in her glass. Some of it happened to land on Jacqueline’s dress.
