Ste raised an eyebrow. The way you said that bsounds /blike you’d actually speak up for me.”

Her words wereced with bsarcasm/b. Who knows if these people are blind, deaf, or just choosing to lie to themselves

The entire city knew about her canceled engagement, yet these people still thought she hade looking for Ethan.

Seeing her attitude, Jonathan grew even angrier. In any case, you need to leave right now, Dressed like that, you’re an embarrassment.”

Ethan stepped forward too, his face serious as he looked at her.

Especially when he saw what she was wearing, his eyes shed with undisguised disgust.

“Leave now. Since the wedding is off, just bas /byou wished, go.”

Ste ignored himb. /b

“Ste, if I ever think about marrying you again in this lifetime, then I’m a d’mn dog!”

bSharon /bclicked over in high heels after hearing Ethan’s words. “Did you hear that? Mr. Keene doesn’t want you anymore. Your dream of bbing /bthe number onedy in bRivermount /bis bover/bb, /b

Ste looked at Sharon. “That’s exactly what I hoped for.”

The number onedy in Rivermount? Is that supposed to be my dream? Even if it were, to her, it’s nothing but a nightmare,

bSharon /bughed even more mockingly. “Still putting on a front? You couldn’t marry Mr. Keene, and you messed things upt with the Reed family btoo/b. Wait until you’re begging in the streets, let’s see how much pride you’ll have then.”

Tessa snapped. “Who are you calling a beggar? So what if she doesn’t have the Keene or Reed family? You think bshe /bhas no

Seeing how Tessa kept defending Ste, bSharon /bsneered. “And how long do you bn /bto protect her? Tessa, you’re always shielding her like this, don’t tell me you actually like her? Well, I guess nowadays, man and man, woman and woman, it’s not rare anymore. But if you’re going to fall that farb, /bat least pick someone better than this.”

Tessa retorted, “You…“/

Smack!

The crisp sound of a p cut Tessa off.

It was Ste

She hadn’t nned to waste her time on someone as brainless as Sharon, but hearing her insult Tessa like that, Ste couldn’t take it anymore.

With that p, the entire room fell silent.

Everyone stared at Ste in shock. No bone /bcould believe bit/b. She bhad /bbactually /bbhit /bSharon.

Sharon held her face, looking at Ste in disbelief. “Are you crazy? You hit me?”

Thit you. So what? What’s there to be afraid of? Ste’s bvoice /bbdripped /bwith contempt. “With a mouth like yours, you could use ten more ps and it still wouldn’t be enough.”

Jonathan finally reacted. Ste had dared to hit someone in ba /bsetting like this. His fury erupted.

He bstormed /bover and bshoved /bSte hard. “bHave /byou lost your mind? Do you think this is a ce for your tantrums?”

“Isn’t this exactly the kind bof /btime I throw tantrumsb? /b

Finished

Jonathan was furious. “Your”

bSeeing /bhow arrogant and unrepentant she wasb, /bJonathan raised his hand, winding up for a full swing

This rebellious girl needed to be btaught /ba blesson/b.

Thinking of all the chaos she’d caused recently, Jonathan wished he could p the defiance out of her.

But just as his palm bwas /babout tond on her face, his wrist bwas /bgrabbed, held tightly by someone with shocking strength.

At the same btime/b. Ste’s knee shot up, right into his groin.

With a muttled grunt, Jonathan’s face twisted in agony. “Ste, you!”

Eddie had grabbed Jonathan’s wrist, ready to Lund a few punches on the man for trying to hit a woman. But the next second, Jonathan crumpled to the floor, curled up in pain,

Eddie’s bmouth /btwitched. “What the hell? Are you trying to fake an injury?

He hadn’t even thrown ba /bpunch yet.

But this didn’t look fake. bJonathan’s /bface was twisted in real pain.
