The Day His Demands Broke My Water novel Chapter 92

But Peter, who had witnessed everything, had a dark expression. He reached out to block our path.

"Well, Susan, so you hired an actor to play along with your little act. Do you think this will make me pay more attention to you?"

"I'm telling you, this kind of low-level trick will only make you look even more ridiculous!"

Linda's gaze swept over Sam, then she turned to me with a “kind” tone:

"Susan, you just promised to love yourself, so why did you immediately find some random man to be your boyfriend?"

"Even if Peter doesn't want you, you shouldn't degrade yourself like this."

I was so angry that my face turned red, almost unable to look at Sam, but I still emphasized: "He is my boyfriend, not an actor."

But Peter, seeing how embarrassed I was, became even more certain of his guess and sneered:

"Alright, we can see you're tired of acting. Since I successfully proposed to Linda today, we should go celebrate. Why don't we take you along too?"

Others chimed in, agreeing.

"Yeah, Susan, stop pretending. We all know exactly what you're like."

"Peter is being nice enough to include you, but once he and Linda get married, you'll have no place here."

"Although this actor is quite handsome, Susan, how much are you paying him? We can double it if you want him to join us for some fun?"

Sam was a reserved person. Even when he saw his own proposal scene suddenly filled with so many people, he hadn't bothered to give them more than a glance.

But now, he finally smiled coldly, then turned his gaze to the group of rude people: "Hire me? You think you're worthy?"

The disdain in his eyes was so obvious that it instantly enraged them.

"What's with that attitude? You're just a hired pretty boy, and you dare look down on us?"

"Susan, you'd better keep an eye on your man! Or else, just get out of here!"

Seeing them turning their anger toward Sam, a wave of inexplicable anger surged within me. I stepped forward, shielding him behind me, and coldly said:

"He is mine, and it's not up to you to say anything!"

My words struck them like a slap in the face.

After all, because of Peter, I had always greeted them with a smile before.

Over time, they had developed a sense of superiority, carelessly stepping all over me.

But now, I had decided not to endure it anymore.

"Also, the ones who should leave are you!"

I said each word clearly and forcefully.

The faces of the group in front of me turned bright red, but they still stubbornly held their ground, muttering, "Why should we leave? This is Peter's proposal scene!"

Peter also looked at me, dissatisfied: "Susan, don't go too far."

As expected, these shameless people had told their lies so many times that even they had started believing them.

I sneered coldly, just about to speak again when I felt a light touch on my palm.

I turned in surprise and saw Sam's eyes full of a smiling warmth.

"Leave it to me. I don't make my girlfriend stand up for me."

With that, he shielded me behind him, and as if sensing something, his gaze locked onto Peter.

If the entrance was decorated this grandly, I couldn't even imagine what the inside would look like.

Sam shook his head, ruffling my hair gently: "I should've made it clearer. How could I propose here?"

"Let's go. I'll take you inside."

With that, he looked over at the skeptical crowd and said indifferently:

"If you don't believe me, you can follow us. After all, this is my and Susan's engagement ceremony. I'd love for more people to witness our happiness."

"But after the proposal, I'll be calling the police to find out who did this to my girlfriend."

I was deeply touched by Sam's protection. We both turned to face Peter and the others.

Some of them now had guilty expressions, but they were still hesitantly watching us.

I calmed down and gave them a challenging smile: "What, you're scared?"

Peter stared at me, not saying a word for a long time.

Normally, he would've been ridiculing me by now.

But now, aside from the anger, there was a subtle trace of unease on his face.

Because my clothes and makeup had been completely ruined, Sam had specially called a makeup artist to send over a new gown.

After putting on the new dress and having my makeup redone by the artist, I looked at my reflection in the mirror, feeling like I had been reborn.

As the makeup artist complimented me, I didn't delay any longer and slowly made my way out.

But just as I turned a corner, I suddenly heard Peter's voice.
