No Escape from Love novel Chapter 87

"I was just asking where those people came from. Did I say you were going to do something to me?" My gaze was filled with sarcasm as I turned to look at Jolene.

"You…" Jolene, enraged, took a step forward. "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have lost my job! And now, you're slandering me? I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

Jolene raised her hand to slap me, but I grabbed her wrist. As I flung her hand aside, I threw a sharp slap across Jolene's face.

"Jolene, are you okay?" Elena's tears finally fell. She hurriedly stepped forward to help Jolene up. "Serena, how could you hit someone?"

"You… You dare hit me?" Jolene's face twisted with anger as she threatened angrily, "I won't let you get away with this!"

"I'm looking forward to it," I said as I returned to my seat.

Jolene took out her phone, dialed a number, and said in a melodramatic tone, "Babe, where are you? Someone is bullying me here."

The thought of Jolene calling that sleazy Ronald "babe" made me lose my appetite for the meal.

"Serena, I already know everything," Jolene hung up the phone, her face full of triumph as she walked up to me. "You're just a child brought in by Alex's stepmother. You're nothing more than a burden to the Hastings family. I'm really curious as to how Alex will deal with you if you ruin his collaboration with Zegler Corporation."

A flash of light flickered in Elena's eyes, but she still stepped forward. "Jolene, Serena… probably didn't mean to insult you like that. Maybe you could just let her off?"

"Let her off?" Jolene looked me up and down, still holding her phone. "If you're willing to get on your knees and apologize, I might consider it."

"Oh dear." Lila stepped forward, giving Jolene an appraising glance. "Your boobs might be big, but your brain is tiny. Can't you tell Elena is just pushing your buttons?"
