You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 398

Michelle's last sentence surprised John. 'Why is she connecting those two things together?'

"What do you know?" he asked, his eagle-sharp eyes narrowing suspiciously.

John's cold tone stopped Michelle from kicking him. Usually timid, she braved a look into John's eyes and found them blazing with murderous intent.

Nina once told Michelle that one usually would become angry once their most hidden thoughts were revealed.

Michelle was so angry that her face turned pale. She pointed at John and cursed, "It's just as netizens are saying—you're really marrying your childhood sweetheart. You two really must have killed Nini!

You're a scoundrel and a cheater! You are nothing but scum!" Since the news of Nina's drowning was confirmed, Michelle had been inconsolable and completely irrational like a wild, rabid dog.

John remained calm and indifferent under the barrage of insults from Michelle, but a deep pain flashed in his eyes.

Except for Nina, no one else dared to irritate John.

Michelle's tirade frightened the passersby that they gave her a wide berth.

"That's her! Get her out of here!" the receptionist yelled.

Two security guards rushed up to drive Michelle away, but John stopped them.

Someone recognized Michelle as a good friend of John's wife, as well as a relative of James' wife. John didn't get angry or drive her away, and his lack of action mystified everyone. That person immediately contacted James.

As it turned out, James was somewhere nearby. As soon as he received the message, he rushed over in time to see John being kicked from a distance.

James hadn't seen John for only a few days. His uncle looked like he had lost some weight.

In particular, his face seemed to be especially thin.

His body also looked surprisingly skinny. In the past, he looked strong enough to protect others. Now, he looked like he was on the brink of collapse.

It was as if his soul had fled.

Michelle didn't show mercy at all and continued hurling curses at John, who did nothing to dodge the attacks.

Nobody was saddened by Nina's passing more than John. Michelle's words left him heartbroken.

"Mimi!" James exclaimed as he hurriedly grabbed Michelle's arms from behind and dragged her away. "Mimi, calm down. It's not Uncle John's fault. No one expected such a thing to happen."

Michelle moved back, but she was still lashing out. "It's all his fault! He killed Nini!

He slept with Vivian on the night of your engagement! Nini felt so sad and fell into the water.

She was a good swimmer, so how did she drown? Either somebody set her up so she would drown, or she was too heartbroken that she didn't want to live anymore."

Michelle's words struck deep. She had lost her fear as she glared at John with hatred.

"Let go of me!" Michelle kept struggling and charged toward John like a bull. It took all of James' strength to stop her.

"Mimi, don't do this."

"What? Did I say anything wrong? You can ask him if anything I said was wrong."

John stood still like a piece of ice that had been frozen for a thousand years. His eyes were dull, and his voice was lifeless. "She's right."

'Everything she said was right.

I failed to protect Nina.

It's my fault.'
