Love After Leaving: No Regret (Agnes and Raymond) novel Chapter 342

But before she could get close, Neal instinctively stepped back.

Vivian felt a rush of grievance and fury. She had practically thrown herself into his arms, and he dared refuse her.

He was even rejecting her this obviously. What, was she something dirty?

"Neal... I'm scared..."

Vivian's voice was soft and fragile as she tried to stir his pity, but the man in front of her did not react at all.

With reddened eyes and a trembling voice, Vivian said,

"Ms. Sinclair just now... suddenly went crazy.

"I don't know why, but she started cursing and hitting people out of nowhere. It was terrifying..."

As Vivian spoke, she secretly watched Neal's face. When she saw no expression there, she continued, "I don't know how my friends offended her, or if maybe she...

"Is she targeting me on purpose, Neal? Boohoo..."

At that, Vivian cried even harder.

"Ms. Sinclair must hate me because I suddenly appeared at the Ruells' engagement banquet last time.

"She must be angry that I ruined the... 'friendship' between you two...

"Neal, I'm sorry. I was only following my family's arrangements..."

Neal frowned and said in a low voice, "Agnes isn't that kind of person."

Vivian's chest tightened with anger, but she kept going.

"At first, I also thought Ms. Sinclair wasn't that kind of person. I thought I was the one who had done badly and made her suffer.

"But these past few days, Ms. Sinclair has been targeting the girls around me nonstop.

"Tiffany's face is ruined, and she was thrown off the cruise.

"And today... Ms. Sinclair..."

Before Neal could react, Vivian forced herself into his arms and sobbed pitifully.

"Neal... I'm so scared. I'm really so scared. I'm afraid Ms. Sinclair will come after me... boohoo..."

A trace of disgust flashed through Neal's eyes. He tried hard to push Vivian off him.

But the woman clung to him like a snake and would not let go.

Just then, Carmen and Agnes walked nearby.

Carmen wore a mocking smile. "Well, well, Mr. Ruell. Enjoying yourself?"

The moment Neal saw Agnes, his face stiffened.

He shoved Vivian away at once and said urgently, "Agnes, it's not what you saw. We didn't..."

Carmen cut in, "What? What isn't what we saw?

"A man and a woman alone, hugging each other. If it's not that, then what is it?"

Carmen hooked an affectionate arm around Agnes, shot Neal a look, and went on, "Besides, whatever Mr. Ruell does has nothing to do with us. We're not interested.

"Agnes, let's go."
