“Why are you tugging at me? I’m only speaking the truth! I am dead certain that Anna is still in love with you! I bet she’s just resentful at getting dumped, so she simply found a man to act as her boyfriend!”
“Zip it, Mabel!” Justin snapped the moment her words fell.
His voice seemed to be threaded with a hint of ire.
“You actually snapped at me, Justin? Do you still harbor affection for Anna? Do you not love me anymore?”
Mabel’s gaze instantly turned aggrieved, and tears shimmered in her eyes as though she had been greatly wronged.
At the sight of her pitiful expression, the corners of my mouth turned up in a sneer. Well, well… She truly loves playing the victim, huh? Maybe it’s this expression of hers that entranced Justin. After all, men love women who are weak, fragile, and delicate. Conversely, I’m not that kind of woman.
Dropping his hand from my waist, Michael sauntered over to Justin.
After taking a look at Mabel, he remarked mockingly, “Mr. Xenakis, I think your taste in women needs to be improved!”
Whoa! I didn’t expect him to be so harsh, considering his taciturn demeanor. I could tell that Justin was completely mortified.
At his humiliation, indescribable glee flooded me.
“I’ve got something to do, so please excuse me, Mr. Shaw.”
Justin was an egotistical person, so Mabel’s shrewish outburst earlier embarrassed him greatly. After saying that, he left while dragging Mabel along.
“See? Any man Anna finds is better than a cheating scumbag like you!”
