?Chapter 205:


    Her lips curved into a small smile. “Perfect. We’ll start from there and adjust along the way.”


    After lunch, they stepped outside.


    But just as they reached the car, another one pulled up nearby—Haley and Marc stepped out.


    Seriously, was Choria this small?


    Ste didn’t even nce their way. William opened the car door, and she got in without hesitation.


    The car drove off.


    But Marc was still standing there, clearly distracted by seeing Ste again.


    Haley, on the other hand, was furious.


    “I didn’t expect to see Ste today,” she said through gritted teeth. “Looks like she’s doing just fine with William. He probably gave her that project. Who knows what kind of tricks she used? That woman only knows how to please men!”


    Marc’s face turned cold. “Haley, don’t talk about her like that.”


    She blinked. “Marc, I’m your fiancée. What do you mean by that? Did I say something wrong? You saw how she was throwing herself at William.”


    His jaw tightened. “This is yourst warning—don’t badmouth Ste in front of me again. You really think you’re better than her?”


    Haley looked stunned. “Wait… are you saying I’m not?”


    Marc scoffed. “What right do you have topare yourself to her? In what way could you possiblypare to Ste?”


    That shut her up—just for a second. Then she clenched her fists, fury written all over her face.


    “Don’t forget who stepped in when Walsh Group was about to copse,” she snapped. “And why you agreed to marry me! You think you’re some noble hero?”


    They were of the same clique.


    He had no right to put her down like that.

    She didn’t wait for a reply. She got in the car and mmed the door, leaving Marc standing alone on the sidewalk.


    What a joke. He was even riding in her car these days—who was he to talk down to her?


    Fuming in the backseat, Haley couldn’t bring herself to regain her calm.


    And the longer she stewed, the clearer her me became—Ste.


    That shameless woman was the reason everything between her and Marc had gone sideways. Even divorced, Ste still managed to linger like a shadow between them.


    If it weren’t for her, Haley and Marc would already be married—maybe even have a child by now.


    She stared at the street shing by outside the window, a cold glint in her eyes.


    If Ste insisted on being in the way, then she couldn’t me her for being ruthless.
