Chapter 28
Thea had been the object of ridicule for ten years.
Every time she stepped outdoors, her face would be hidden under a veil.She thought she was used to this.
But right now, the crowd's words pierced into her like knives.She kept her head lowered, not daring to meet the onlookers’ gazes...Self-hatred started rising inside her.
"This is it? I wouldn't want her even if you paid me."
"The most beautiful woman in Cansington? The media must've been blind when they said that."
Thea may have been staring at the ground, but she could vividly picture the sneers that were on the crowd's faces.It was too much to bear.
The lump in her throat grew, and a tear fell from her eyes.
Belinda was pleased with Thea's reaction.She lifted Thea's chin, staring at the scabbed-over cuts on her face that were still in the process of healing.
"Such a beautiful face," Belinda said with a laugh.
"What a pity.Haha!"
"W-what are you doing?!"
Thea jerked herself out of Belinda's grip in a panic and lowered her head again, not wanting to meet the other woman's gaze.
Smack! At that moment, she heard a loud slap.
Thea, head still pointed at the floor, watched as a pair of strong arms held onto her.She looked up at James, and all the grievances she had felt up till that point overwhelmed her.She threw herself into his arms and started sobbing.
"You...You hit me?"
Belinda pointed a finger at James, her other hand holding her still -stinging cheek.
"You worthless garbage! Do you know who I am?! I'm Belinda Frasier..."
James let Thea go, stretching out an arm to grab Belinda's finger.
"Ow! Ww Belinda's face scrunched up in pain.
"Kneel and apologize," James said coldly.
The crowd grew.Some of them took their phones out and started recording.
Belinda's finger hurt so much that she couldn't get even a word out.

I love the plot and storyline,but why is James's character that of an idiot...
Wow I don't know how James lasted so long with his lack of wisdom. Even an 18 yr old outwitted him...
Why is the chapter incomplete? There are still 5 statements missing. I am sorry, but I have read it from the other link. I am also just wondering as to how many chapters are there all in all....
