Chapter 26

Gisele grabbed Angie’s hand to stop her from storming out of the room, but Angie sprinted out with no intention of stopping.
Bernard stood towering at the door to block Dorian and Sierra from going in. No matter
what Dorian said to him, he didn’t budge.
“Bernard Murray, you were the one who called me and told me to visit Gisele. Why are you stopping us from seeing her when we’re here?” Dorian confronted Bernard.
“Don.” Sierra gently took Dorian’s arm and coyly shook her head at him.
Then, she flashed a sweet smile at Bernard. She explained, “Mr. Murray, I’m technically Gisele’s colleague and friend. After that shocking incident, the least I could do is visit her and offer help if she needs it.”
“Do you really think we don’t know that you’re here to gloat at her?” Angie shoved Bernard’s arm out of the way and went up to glare at Sierra.
As she was slightly taller than Sierra, she stared down at the latter.
Sierra, who had been in shock after Angie had popped out of the room without warning, stumbled backward into Dorian’s arms. She trembled like a deer in the headlights as she teared up.
Dorian gently held her waist. Looking up, he addressed Angie indifferently, “Are you trying to speak up for Gisele? That woman’s not worth it. She’s willing to sacrifice her reputation for money.”
Angie chuckled in anger. She couldn’t believe that Gisele had given her heart to such a bastard for three years. Every time he mentioned Gisele, he put on a disdainful expression,
as if her name were filth.
Bernard stood stoically behind Angie, who folded her arms across her chest. She was at his shoulder level when she stood. Incensed, she seemed ready to punch Dorian at any time.
“I thought the rich were well–mannered. Even an animal learns to behave after it is domesticated and tamed. You act like a gentleman when, deep down, you’re a savage!” Angie taunted Dorian assertively, calmly directing a barrage of harsh insults at him with her arms folded.
Narrowing her eyes, she continued, “An apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. No matter where you were raised, you would grow up to be a jerk.

“Have you forgotten about your roots after a few years of living in wealth? Dorian Jefferson, do I think no one knows about the devious acts you committed in the past?”

Then, she followed up by rattling off examples. She couldn’t tolerate Dorian hurling insults
at Gisele.
Gisele might have been able to endure the humiliation because she was in love with Dorian, but Angie was different.
Bernard watched Angie launch the verbal attacks with a look of admiration. Her voice sounded like heavenly music to his ears at that moment.
Dorian’s expression crumbled as he fixed a piercing gaze on Angie. He instinctively tightened his grip on Sierra’s waist.
