Chapter 362
The moment the woman saw this scene, her eyes lit up, and her previously hidden ambition surfaced. However, when she turned to see Yvette’s gaze, she instantly reverted to her weak and pitiful demeanor. “Thank you, kind sir. May I have your contact information? I’ll be sure to repay you both later.” She said this to lower Yvette’s guard, as getting the man’s number was her ultimate goal.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
Jeremiah didn’t even look at her, and the atmosphere became tense again.
More and more people gathered around, murmuring to one another about what had happened, all feeling sorry for the woman who had been bullied by the man.
Yvette watched the woman’s performance, raised an eyebrow, and casually flicked her eyelids. Her usual coldness shone through as she asked, “Are you done with your act?” Just those four simple words silenced the noisy crowd.
Jeremiah lowered his gaze. “The girl has no idea how to expose this poorly acted woman.‘
The woman was taken aback, but she held back her tears, refusing to let them fall. Looking at Yvette. ‘I didn’t expect this ugly woman to have such a pleasant voice. She argued. “Miss, I don’t know what you mean. Everyone saw that this man was attacking me. I just wanted protection; if you don’t want to help me, why say such things?”
The onlookers were also glaring at Yvette, clearly siding with the woman.
Yvette brushed off the dust from her clothes, crossed her legs, and nonchalantly looked at the woman, saying, “Your outfit is the latest LV, worth 30 thousand.” She continued, “Those shoes are a Dior limited edition, the lowest price on the market is 70,000 dollars.” She pointed at the necklace, “That blue diamond is small but at least 100 thousand dollars.” Then she added, “And that watch is a Jacob & Co 50th anniversary edition, worth 330 thousand dollars.”
With each of Yvette’s words, the woman’s face grew paler.
Gasps of disbelief echoed around them. ‘Who would have thought that a girl who looks so pitiful is decked out in clothes worth 330 thousand dollars? She’s no victim; she’s a wealthy woman. How could she let an old man treat her like this?‘ Some people seemed to realize something, and their looks towards the woman changed immediately.
The woman hurriedly tried to hide the watch she had on, but it was a diamond watch she bought to show off, and now it was too late.
Just then, the man got up from the ground, clutching his stomach and appearing sober. He pointed at the woman and shouted, “You have no idea how ruthless this woman is! She’s just a student from a second–rate university. All her designer clothes and accessories are gifts from me. Now that she thinks I’m too old for her, she wants to ditch me! Why should I take that? I even gave up my wife for her! She’s just a gold digger! I’m right, aren’t I?”
Upon hearing his words, the crowd realized the truth and fell silent, lowering their heads. They thought she was a pitiful woman, but she’s actually a mistress. Though the man isn’t a good guy either, how dare he ask us if he’s right?‘
Seeing how the situation turned against her, the woman decided to fight back. She immediately dropped her previous demeanor and stood tall against the burly man. “It’s your problem that you abandoned your family, you’re the one who is infatuated with my beauty and wants to leave your old wife! I’m telling you, I’ve already broken up with you. I’ll say it again: stop harassing me, or my new boyfriend won’t let you off!” With that, unable to hold her anger, she swung her hand at Yvette, but her wrist was caught mid–air.
Yvette, expressionless, held onto the woman’s hand and smiled. Does this fool really think she can touch me?‘ With a sharp twist, there was a loud crack as the woman’s bone snapped.
Jeremiah’s cold gaze landed on the woman, his voice steady and chilling as he narrowed his blue eyes. “You want to die?”
The woman shrieked in pain, and the burly inan stood frozen in shock. The onlookers were also stunned. ‘Who would have thought that this woman in a cap would be so ruthless right from the start?‘
Despite the pain, the woman defiantly shouted at Jeremiah, ignoring her broken hand. “I’m going to hit this ugly woman! Do you know who my boyfriend is? Just wait here; he’ll be here any minute! You’re all going to regret it!”
The woman was brazen, acting as though she feared nothing and no one. ‘My new boyfriend is a second–generation heir from the prestigious Betrico estate. So what if this guy here has money? I refuse to believe he could have more influence than my new boyfriend!‘ She had just sent her new boyfriend a text, and as luck would have it, he was nearby. He could get to the food stall in five minutes.
Yvette sat casually in her chair, spinning it slightly, crossing her legs, and watching the woman with a bored expression. She unwrapped a candy and popped it into her mouth, her tone casual. “Let him come. I’ll be waiting.”
Jeremiah and Yvette sat at the food stall, Yvette wearing a baseball cap and lowering her gaze. After taking off her mask, only half of her face was visible, showcasing her sharp jawline. She calmly continued eating the lobster Jeremiah had prepared for her.
Meanwhile, the woman, clutching her injured arm, glared at them from a distance. The burly man, sensing things were getting out of hand, had already run off. Dozens of onlookers stood around, watching the scene in stunned silence, occasionally swallowing nervously.
Five minutes later, the woman’s new boyfriend arrived. Coincidentally, he was a familiar face.
As soon as Joel appeared, the woman rushed into his arms, instantly transforming back into her tearful, delicate persona. The people who had watched the entire scene unfold were speechless at how quickly she could change faces. ‘Is she some kind of face–changing master?‘
Joel hurried to comfort his new fling. “Sweetheart, what happened? Who dared to bully you?”
The woman, feigning fear, pointed towards Jeremiah and Yvette, sobbing. “It’s them! Those two bullied me. That woman’s unreasonable! All I did was say a few words, and she broke my hand. It hurts so much!”
Hearing this, Joel immediately got angry. He followed her finger to see who she was pointing at, but as soon as he recognized who was sitting there, his expression changed dramatically. ‘What kind of day is this that I run into these two at a food stall? Oh my God!‘ In the next second, Joel realized the situation. ‘Wait, did she say they bullied her? Maybe anyone else, but these two? No way! That’s impossible!‘ Joel quickly pulled the woman out of his embrace as if she were contagious, now wanting to put as much distance between them as possible.
The woman was utterly confused by Joel’s sudden change in attitude. ‘What’s going on? Why is he acting like this?‘
Joel, mustering his courage, walked shakily towards the two, praying that the heavens would spare him today. ‘I swear I’ll never touch a woman again; if I get involved with the wrong one, it could be disastrous and cost me my life!”
