Chapter 11
After the crowd dispersed, Mia dropped the withered flower branch in her hand and embraced the man with a bruised and swollen lace, her face full of tenderness.
“Julian, how are you? Please speak up, don’t scare me.”
The group of people surrounding her saw her action, their faces changed one after another, and they instinctively looked at Vincent.
He tightly held the hand that was still bleeding, gritting his teeth as he watched this scene. His whole being was enveloped in an atmosphere of extreme suppression
Shay Morrison got angry and started scolding right away.
“Mia, are you fucking cheap? Vince was obedient and devoted to you, and you still played with him. Now you’re messing around with other men. What the hell do you take Vince for?”
The person in my arms coughed a few times and weakly said, “It’s nothing.”
Mia finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She swallowed the sob in her throat, looked up at Shay, and in her eyes was a disgust and resentment they had never seen before.
“Did I pursue him? No, he relentlessly pursued me for ten years. Like a persistent stray dog, I couldn’t shake him off! I rejected him so many times, can’t you all see that I simply don’t like him at all? It’s my freedom to choose who I want to be with, why do you have the right to meddle in this!”
A few words directly angered several brothers, if they didn’t know that Vincent liked her, they would probably have laid hands on her right away. “Don’t like it? Then why do you accept those expensive gifts? Don’t like it? Then why do you make him do so much for you? Don’t like it? Then why do you agree to such bullshit promises? Mia, you are truly a despicable and rotten person through and through!”
After being scolded harshly, Mia didn’t react much. The man who was hit and disoriented got angry and struggled to stand up.
Mia quickly stopped him and gently helped him into the car.
He turned around and looked at the group of people he had been dealing with for ten years, with a sarcastic smile on his face as if the fish had died and the net had broken.
“I played with Vincent just like playing with a dog, so what? Is he something special? Isn’t he just manipulating others‘ feelings for his own selfish desires? Wasn’t Sophie, who was deceived for six years, innocent? Weren’t those ex–girlfriends who were changed every three days innocent? It’s all the same, before you call me cheap, have you ever thought that compared to this so–called good brother of yours, Lam a thousand times more kind!
“Shut up! Everything he did, it wasn’t for you, what right do you have to say this?”
Mia felt like she had heard the funniest joke in the world and burst into laughter.
“Blaning me again? How, did I ask him to date over a hundred girlfriends? Did I force him to pursue Sophie? On one hand, he insists that he can’t live without me,
on the other hand, he keeps getting involved in romantic affairs. Tslpply saw through his promiscuous nature and played along for a bit, and he took it seriously. This isn’t being obedient, it’s being foolish, right?”
Vincent’s face gradually darkened in each sentence.
He stared at Mia, feeling that the person in front of him was so unfamiliar, unable to match the person in his memory who used to smile and play around.
In those dark pupils, the hidden pain and despair slowly began to reveal themselves.
He had a lot of things he wanted to say, questions he wanted to ask, and emotions he wanted to vent.
It all dissipated in her cold, stern laughter in the end.
Something that had persisted for ten years, at this moment, collapsed like a breached ant nest, with a loud crash.
