Chapter 107 Jealousy Explodes
Hannah’s smile was about to crack.
Finished
She dug her nails into her palm and forced herself to explain, “R–really? I’m not sure. Maybe… the Hewitts want to make it up to Eliza.”
She almost squeezed those words out through her teeth.
All day long, everywhere she went, people were talking about the Schofields‘ party, the Hewitts, and Elizabeth.
The gossip was driving her crazy, and she couldn’t focus on anything.
When the last class ended, she said she wasn’t feeling well and got permission to leave. Then she rushed back to the Schofield Castle.
As soon as she walked in, she saw the housekeepers busy setting up for the party.
Decorations were everywhere. The whole place looked festive.
The sight of it made her blood boil.
She stormed over to her mom, who was directing the housekeepers, and demanded, “Mom! What’s going on? Why are you making this such a big deal?!”
Alessia was surprised to see her home so early. Then she pulled her aside and said quietly, “Hannah, calm down. It’s the Hewitts… their butler called your dad himself. He said it’s for Eliza’s marriage. They’re bringing the engagement gifts. We have to hold this party, and it has to be big!”
“Engagement gifts?!” Hannah’s voice shot up, full of disbelief and jealousy. “No way! Do the Hewitts even know what kind of person Elizabeth is? She drugged a man! They don’t care?! They must not know the truth! I’m going to the Hewitts! I’ll expose her!”
She was screaming, totally out of control, and turned to run out the door.
Smack!
A loud slap hit her face, cutting off every word and movement.
Benjamin had appeared behind her at some point. His face was dark, his eyes cold and serious. “Shupur mouth! If you keep talking nonsense and ruin Elizabeth’s marriage to the Hewitts, don’t blame me what happens next!”
Hannah stood there, stunned. Her cheek burned.
