Chapter 188 Cheap Tricks
Selena reacted instantly. She shoved Evelyn away, standing protectively in front of Amelia like a liones guarding her cub. “Who the hell do you think you are? You think you’re in my girl’s league?”
A flash of malice crossed Evelyn’s eyes, but seeing the crowd in the lobby turning their attention towar them, she instantly reverted to a pathetic state. “You’re his fiancée! How could you spend your nights a office with Cyrus Harrington? How could you team up with him against Sebastian?”
“Shut your damn mouth before I rip it open!” Selena snapped, her temper flaring.
The employees in the lobby, despite being on Selena’s payroll, couldn’t help but gossip. The whispers started instantly.
“I wondered why Amelia has been in and out of here with the boss lately. I guess she hooked up with M Harrington on the side.
‘And our boss doesn’t even have a boyfriend. I heard she’s been living with Amelia. You don’t think they’re…”
The filthy rumors reached Selena’s ears, making her grit her teeth in fury. She was about to give her employees a piece of her mind when Amelia stopped her.
‘Save your breath,” Amelia said calmly. “It’s not worth getting worked up over such a girl who sells her so
Evelyn’s heart skipped a beat. She looked up at Amelia in disbelief. Does she know the real reason I was sent abroad?
No, impossible. Even Sebastian doesn’t know the full truth. How could she?
‘Amelia, I respect you as Sebastian’s fiancée, so I came here to talk sense into you. How can you insult me like that?”
Evelyn’s eyes turned red again, her “damsel in distress” act earning her sympathetic looks from the bystanders.
Amelia watched the performance with a shake of her head. “Please, honey. Save the cheap tricks to the men. They don’t work on us,”
With that, Amelia grabbed Selena’s hand and started walking out “Don’t bother with her It’s a waste of saliva.
Amelia just walked away?
Evelyn stood there, stunned She stomped her foot me frustration. She if heart thu media was a beamless country bumpkin How could she not explode after such a provocation
If Amelia had just lost her temper and his her the hidden reports is would have capiated the assault and posted it online instantly Amelia’s reputation would have been faggot through the rud
But Amchia didn’t even look amoyed Was she even hurtin‘
Amelia, Evelyn’s tricks were just recycled garbage.
Later at the restaurant, Selena grumbled, “I don’t know how you held back. I was two seconds away from slapping that little brat. I didn’t realize she was such a manipulative b*tch!”
Amelia smiled, trying to soothe her friend. “Slapping her would just make my hand hurt. Why bother?”
“So you’re just going to take it? Felix told me she’s living with Sebastian! Seriously, what is he thinking? H has plenty of other houses. Why keep her right next to him? What a prick.”
Selena stabbed her steak with a fork, clearly imagining it was Sebastian’s head. She wanted to hack it inte pieces.
‘He can keep her wherever he wants. It’s none of my business.”
Since her rebirth, Amelia had realized that many things were outside her control. People and events that never existed in her past life were surfacing, and she had to navigate them carefully.
To avoid the tragic end of her previous life, she had to become powerful.
‘Selena! There you are!”
Felix appeared out of nowhere, greeting Selena with a huge grin. The two women looked up to see Sebastian following behind him, looking every bit the cold, untouchable deity.
The moment Sebastian walked in, radiating his “alpha CEO” aura, the entire atmosphere of the restauran seemed to shift to a higher gear.
The girls in the restaurant nearly swooned.
‘He’s so hot! How can a man look like that?”
‘Wait, isn’t that Mr. Sterling from the Sterling Group? What is he doing here?”
