Golden Cage Mommy Mutiny (Elyse) novel Chapter 18

Chapter2

What a joke.

That kind of line used to be something the Black Viper Syndicate said to others.

And now it was being thrown in my face?

I chuckled coldly and narrowed my eyes.

“You really think you’re somebody just because you’re hiding behind Charles Whitmore? I bet he wouldn’t say

something that stupid. So who the hell are you?”

“What the fuck?!”

“Yes, I mean you’re stupid.”

“You,bitch!”

She raised her hand to slap me, but I dodged, and she fell flat on the floor.

“Wow, Bianca. One harsh sentence and you go full performance mode with a faceplant? Thanks for the

commitment.”

She scrambled up and pointed at me, seething. “You’ll regret this!”

I said flatly, “If you don’t clean that mouth, I might just help you do it.”

My dad had made sure I was trained by some of the best martial arts instructors in the country.

Women like Bianca? I could take three of her with one hand.

She faltered under my glare and fell quiet.

More and more people had gathered around to gawk.

I wasn’t interested in putting on a show for strangers.

I picked up my card from the ground, bought the bag, and turned to leave.

But Bianca blocked me again.

That was her last chance.

I raised my foot, fully intending to kick her out of my way.

“Stop!”

A deep male voice rang out behind me.

Bianca instantly put on a pitiful face and ran over.

“Mr. Whitmore, thank God you’re here. She’s been bullying me this whole time…”

I turned around,and yeah, okay, I understood why my dad said I’d like this guy.

Broad shoulders, long legs, sharp jawline.

He looked like a damn hunk.

Fine. I’d give him one more chance. For the face.

I offered him a pleasant smile. “Mr. Whitmore? I’m Evelyn Black,your arranged date today. I’m sure your

father mentioned me?”

Charles Whitmore’s dad used to be a nobody under my father’s command.

It was only because my dad saw potential in his business mind that the Whitmore family got where they are

now.

Charles gave me a once–over, top to bottom, and sneered.

“Twenty–eight and still a virgin? Sorry, not my type.”

His words hit like a slap.

So being twenty–eight automatically made me old?

I had standards, dignity, self–control.

And this was what I got?

“Did you eat shit before you came here? Or you’re born with a filthy mouth? What about your basic

manners?”

His face darkened. “Manners? For someone like you?”

“I don’t care what you did to make my father set me up with you. I’m never marrying some backwater hick like you.”

Bianca looped her arm through his and gave me a smug smirk. “With that ugly mug, you really think you’re good enough for a man like Charles?”

The crowd jumped in immediately.

“Look at her outfit,probably worth less than a hundred bucks.”

“And she wants to marry Charles Whitmore? Dream on!”

“She’s just a desperate spinster. Somebody throw cold water on her and snap her out of it.”

I wasn’t a world–class beauty, sure, but I was far from hideous.

Yet here they were, saying I was some ugly spinster.

This world really did bend over backward for men.

I crossed my arms and said coldly, “I would never ever marry you. Go tell your daddy I’m not interested.”
