Chapter 42 I Will Never Marry You
Stella raised an eyebrow. The way you said that sounds like you’d actually speak up for me.”
Her words were laced with sarcasm. 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 had come 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 flashed with undisguised disgust.
“Leave now. Since the wedding is off, just as you wished, go.”
Stella ignored him.
“Stella, if I ever think about marrying you again in this lifetime, then I’m a d’mn dog!”
Sharon clicked over in high heels after hearing Ethan’s words. “Did you hear that? Mr. Keene doesn’t want you anymore. Your dream of becoming the number one lady in Rivermount is over,
Stella looked at Sharon. “That’s exactly what I hoped for.”
The number one lady in Rivermount? Is that supposed to be my dream? Even if it were, to her, it’s nothing but a nightmare,
Sharon laughed even more mockingly. “Still putting on a front? You couldn’t marry Mr. Keene, and you messed things upt with the Reed family too. 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 she has no
Seeing how Tessa kept defending Stella, Sharon sneered. “And how long do you plan 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, at least pick someone better than this.”
Tessa retorted, “You…“/
Smack!
The crisp sound of a slap cut Tessa off.
It was Stella
She hadn’t planned to waste her time on someone as brainless as Sharon, but hearing her insult Tessa like that, Stella couldn’t take it anymore.
With that slap, the entire room fell silent.
Everyone stared at Stella in shock. No one could believe it. She had actually hit Sharon.
Sharon held her face, looking at Stella in disbelief. “Are you crazy? You hit me?”
Thit you. So what? What’s there to be afraid of? Stella’s voice dripped with contempt. “With a mouth like yours, you could use ten more slaps and it still wouldn’t be enough.”
Jonathan finally reacted. Stella had dared to hit someone in a setting like this. His fury erupted.
He stormed over and shoved Stella hard. “Have you lost your mind? Do you think this is a place for your tantrums?”

“Isn’t this exactly the kind of time I throw tantrums?
not like it’s the first time”
Finished
Jonathan was furious. “Your”
Seeing how arrogant and unrepentant she was, Jonathan raised his hand, winding up for a full swing
This rebellious girl needed to be taught a lesson.
Thinking of all the chaos she’d caused recently, Jonathan wished he could slap the defiance out of her.
But just as his palm was about to land on her face, his wrist was grabbed, held tightly by someone with shocking strength.
At the same time. Stella’s knee shot up, right into his groin.
With a muttled grunt, Jonathan’s face twisted in agony. “Stella, 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 mouth twitched. “What the hell? Are you trying to fake an injury?
He hadn’t even thrown a punch yet.
But this didn’t look fake. Jonathan’s face was twisted in real pain.
Tessa looked at Stella. Stella calmly lowered her knee.
Eddie saw her composed expression and lowered knee too.
His lips twitched again.
Just now, he thought that if he hadn’t stepped in, she would’ve taken a hit.
Turns out, she never needed him in the first place.
Jonathan! Jonathan!”
Sharon rushed to his side. Seeing how much pain he was in, she screamed. “What did you do to him?”
