?Chapter 254:


    Jessica’s eyes zed with fury as she screamed, “Makenna! Are you satisfied now?”


    Heads began to turn as onlookers started to take notice of themotion. I had no desire to engage in a public argument with Jessica and snapped, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Leave me alone.”


    I attempted to walk away with Alice.


    “Stop!” Jessica blocked my path and shoved me again. “Did I give you permission to leave?”


    This time, I was ready and sidestepped her attempt. “What the hell do you want?” I snapped, fed up with Jessica’s relentless harassment.


    “What do I want?” she shot back, her eyes burning with resentment. “Makenna, you should thank me. You owe your position in the pce to me. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have had the chance to catch the princes’ attention.”


    Thank her? Wasn’t it her fear of the Lycan princes that kept her from seizing any opportunity?


    I could no longer tolerate her arrogance. With a sharp shove, I pushed her back.


    “Ah!” Jessica stumbled, struggling to regain her bnce. Before she could recover, I pped her across the face with a resounding crack.


    “You bitch! How dare you hit me?” Jessica’s eyes widened in shock.


    She tried to strike back, but I seized her cor and hissed harshly into her ear, “You and Frank make a perfect pair—both shameless. Frank got a beating from me yesterday, and today it’s your turn. You two seem eager for this.”


    Jessica’s face went pale, her mouth opening and closing in speechless fury.


    I sneered, letting my gaze linger on her battered visage. “As for opportunities? For someone like you, who clings to a worthless man like Frank, what chance could you possibly have?”


    With that, I shoved her roughly, and she fell to the ground with a cry. Seeing her sprawled and humiliated, a surge of satisfaction coursed through me.


    The tales you love are at g?lnσν???s?c?m


    I gave her onest disdainful look from above before turning to leave with Alice at my side.


    Jessica’s POV:


    I crumpled to the ground, seething with rage as I watched Makenna strut away with an air of superiority. The resentment and fury boiling inside me were almost too much to bear. How dare she treat me with such disdain? Just because she’d found favor in the pce didn’t mean she could look down on me.


    She had such a high opinion of herself! She was nothing but a lowly sex ve! The thought of tearing her apart right then and there was almost too tempting.


    Frank, that scoundrel, had the audacity to sneak behind my back and meet with Makenna! The mere thought of her smug face from moments ago made my blood boil. That vile woman! That treacherous man! No wonder Frank had hit me yesterday—it was all for Makenna!


    I wouldn’t let this pair of conniving miscreants get away with it. I resolved to confront Frank immediately and give him a piece of my mind.


    But just as I was about to rise to my feet, a pair of elegant leather shoes appeared before me. Startled, I looked up—and there stood Prince Dominic!


    Could it be that Prince Dominic, seeing my plight, hade to offer his assistance? The thought sparked a glimmer of hope, and my frustration with Makenna began to fade. I knew my allure was just as potent as hers. If I had entered the pce as a sex ve, I would have captured the princes’ hearts with ease!


    With this in mind, I quickly softened my expression, letting my eyes brim with sorrow as I pleaded, “Your Highness, I apologize for the trouble. My sister didn’t mean to hit me; please don’t hold it against her.”
