“If you hadn’t refused to help me, would I have made such a fuss?” Jordyn challenged, her gaze filled with usation.


    rk was rendered speechless.


    After a moment of silence, he turned to N. “N, perhaps you should apologize to Jordyn and put this matter to rest.”


    N sneered. “Are you out of your mind? Apologize to her? Why should I?”


    “Why not? You were seen hugging my husband not long ago, remember? I still have photos. Would you like me to show them to you?” Jordyn taunted.


    N’s gaze turned icy. “Jordyn, stop pretending. You were the one who interfered in my marriage with rk. Now that you’re married to him, have you forgotten what you did?


    “As for that photo, you can ask rk about it yourself. I’m not interested in trash.


    “Also, you mentioned I was fighting with you over the dress. Did you forget there are security cameras in the mall? Should I get the footage to see who was really fighting over it?


    “Regardless of whether it’s a dress or a man, I wouldn’t want anything from you because I find it disgusting!”


    Jordyn’s anger red, and she instinctively retorted, “You’re talking nonsense!”


    “I have videos of rk cheating with you. Are you sure you want me to show them in front of everyone?” N


    asked.


    Jordyn gnashed her teeth. She certainly didn’t want those videos revealed, but N’s confident demeanor only made her fury boil over.


    The crowd, which had previously looked at N with disdain, now turned their scornful gaze toward Jordyn.


    Just as she was about to respond, rk grabbed her and pulled her aside.


    “Let go of me!” Jordyn cried.


    rk ignored her protests, releasing her only when they reached a corner.


    “rk, didn’t you see how everyone was looking at us? Dragging me away like this makes it seem like we’re guilty!” she protested.


    rk’s expression was icy. “It’s better to look guilty than to risk her exposing our intimate video to the public!”


    “But I’m not satisfied!” Jordynined.


    “What are you dissatisfied with? We’re married now. She’s just a stranger to us. Why do you keep provoking her?” rk snapped.


    His eyes zed with fury as if he might strangle Jordyn at any moment. His gaze was menacing and intense.


    Jordyn took a step back, tears welling in her eyes. “Why am I provoking her? Don’t you know? If you didn’t have any feelings for her, I wouldn’t care about her. But can you honestly say you have no feelings for her at all?”


    “We’re over,” rk said firmly.

    “As long as you still have feelings for her, it’s not over,” Jordyn argued.


    rk’s patience wore thin. “If you want to keep arguing, go ahead. I’m going back to my meeting.”


    He turned and walked away.


    Jordyn red at his retreating figure, frustration and anger bubbling inside her.


    After a moment of hesitation, she stomped her foot and ran after him.


    Once Jordyn and rk had left, N continued browsing but found no dresses that appealed to her. She decided to go home.


    Upon arriving, she saw Gabriel standing at her door. She frowned and approached him. “What’s going on?”


    Gabriel’s expression darkened at her indifference. “I received two invitations to a jewelry auction from a friend today. I thought you might be interested. Would you like to join me?”
