Chapter 42 I Will Never Marry You
Ste raised an eyebrow. The way you said that <b>sounds </b>like you’d actually speak up for me.”
Her words wereced with <b>sarcasm</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 <b>as </b>you wished, go.”
Ste ignored him<b>. </b>
“Ste, if I ever think about marrying you again in this lifetime, then I’m a d’mn dog!”
<b>Sharon </b>clicked over in high heels after hearing Ethan’s words. “Did you hear that? Mr. Keene doesn’t want you anymore. Your dream of <b>bing </b>the number onedy in <b>Rivermount </b>is <b>over</b><b>, </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,
<b>Sharon </bughed even more mockingly. “Still putting on a front? You couldn’t marry Mr. Keene, and you messed things upt with the Reed family <b>too</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 <b>she </b>has no
Seeing how Tessa kept defending Ste, <b>Sharon </b>sneered. “And how long do you <b>n </b>to 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 far<b>, </b>at 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 <b>one </b>could believe <b>it</b>. She <b>had </b><b>actually </b><b>hit </b>Sharon.
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 <b>voice </b><b>dripped </b>with 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 <b>a </b>setting like this. His fury erupted.
He <b>stormed </b>over and <b>shoved </b>Ste hard. “<b>Have </b>you lost your mind? Do you think this is a ce for your tantrums?”
Chapter 42 I Will Never Marry You
“Isn’t this exactly the kind <b>of </b>time I throw tantrums<b>? </b>
not like it’s the first time”
Finished
Jonathan was furious. “Your”
<b>Seeing </b>how arrogant and unrepentant she was<b>, </b>Jonathan raised his hand, winding up for a full swing
This rebellious girl needed to be <b>taught </b>a <b>lesson</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 <b>was </b>about tond on her face, his wrist <b>was </b>grabbed, held tightly by someone with shocking strength.
At the same <b>time</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 <b>mouth </b>twitched. “What the hell? Are you trying to fake an injury?
He hadn’t even thrown <b>a </b>punch yet.
But this didn’t look fake. <b>Jonathan’s </b>face was twisted in real pain.
Tessa looked at Ste. <b>Ste </b>calmly lowered her <b>knee</b>.
Eddie saw <b>her </bposed expression <b>and </b><b>lowered </b>knee too.
His lips twitched <b>again</b>.
<b>Just </b>now, <b>he </b>thought <b>that </b>if he hadn’t stepped <b>in</b><b>, </b>she would’ve taken a <b>hit</b>.
Turns out, she never needed <b>him </b><b>in </b>the first ce.
Jonathan! Jonathan<b>!</b><b>” </b>
Sharon rushed to <b>his </b>side. Seeing how much pain he was in, <b>she </b>screamed. “What did you do to <b>him</b>?”
