“I bet this is just a case of sour grapes. Anna Garcia, no man would want a woman like you!”
Mabel looked at me haughtily, her voice filled with disdain.
“Plenty of men like Anna! Only a scumbag like Justin Xenakis will be blinded and fall for a skank like you!” Natalie shot back, irritated at her arrogant demeanor.
“Oh, really? There are actually men who like her? Alright, then call her man over to prove that it’s true. I want to see what kind of man takes a fancy to someone like her.”
Mabel knew how much I loved Justin as he used to be the most prevalent subject whenever we hung out.
Back then, I regarded her as my best friend. Every time she inquired about Justin, I thought she was merely showing concern for me. Feeling that there should be no secrets between good friends, I never kept anything from her, telling her everything she wanted to know.
In retrospect, I was truly foolish back then! She didn’t ask me about Justin out of concern. Instead, she did so for her own sake as she wanted to seduce him!
“Why are you not calling him over? I bet no one likes her, right?”
Mabel’s taunt once again rang out, staring at me haughtily with a triumphant expression on her face.
As she had stolen my fiancé, all pretense of civility between us was gone. Hah! She must be very smug that my fiancé is now her man, huh? Whatever!
In the face of her tyrannical attitude, I spun on my heels to leave without paying any heed to her. However, she didn’t allow me to leave, grabbing onto me aggressively.
“Stop while you’re ahead, Mabel Quintrell! What else do you want when you’ve already won?”
Whirling around abruptly, I shot daggers at her. D*mn it! This woman has really gone overboard!
Just when she was about to say something, I caught sight of a man a stone’s throw away. All at once, my lips curved into a sneer. “You want to know who my man is, yes? Okay, I’ll show you right this instance!” I stated coldly.
After saying that, I strode toward Michael, who was within sight. I had no idea why he was here, nor was it any concern of mine.
Anyhow, I just wanted to rub it into Mabel’s face. The moment I reached him, I took his arm and gazed at him with a sweet smile. “Why are you here, Darling? Did you come to surprise me?”
My sudden appearance caught Michael off guard, and he was stunned for a moment. When he recognized me, his handsome face darkened, and he was seemingly vexed.
Well, he must be thinking that I’m pestering him, huh? Anyway, I don’t have the time to explain everything to him. Justin and Mabel are here, so I have no choice but to use him so that I won’t have to slink away with my tail between my legs!
“It’s you? Why are you here?”
Michael kept his voice lowered, but I could still sense the rage in his tone.
“Please do me a favor since I gave you my first time.”
I didn’t know the kind of person he was, nor did I have any idea whether he would play along with me. In truth, I really hadn’t much confidence in my plan.
Michael regarded me with displeasure. His gaze was profound and unfathomable, so I couldn’t quite discern his thoughts. Nonetheless, I could sense that he was an exceedingly dangerous person.
