Chapter 101

It wasn’t long before Jessamine hurried over. She had been picking out clothes for Corbin at the boutique when

she heard that Elysia was also there, Concerned that no one had stood up for her, Jessamine made her way over

as fast as she could.

“Ms. Thome.”

A familiar female voice suddenly called from behind. Elysia turned around to see Mrs. Denton approaching.

“Mrs. Denton?”

Jessamine looked surprised and asked, “Is that really you? | saw your silhouette and thought it was you, but |

wasn't sure. What happened to you?”

Elysia fett a bit awkward and answered, “Had a bit of a tiff with them.”

Hearing this, Jessamine frowned and her gaze towards Oriana and her group was none too pleased.

Oriana was the only one who knew of the so called Mrs. Denton’s status and shivered with fear.

The others didn’t recognize Mrs. Denton and, buoyed by Orlana’s backing from Keaton Huber, one blurted out.

“What's this? You're the cavalry this little tramp has called in? Lettell you, no one could save her now. She's

done for!”

Oriana’s pupils shock with fear, and she quickly tried to hush her friend, “Stop... just stop talking.”

“What are you scared of? So what if she’s shigh-society lady? | refuse to believe there’s anyone in Jindale

City that Mr. Huber would be scared of! You're Mr. Huber’s girlfriend, for heaven's sake. You don’t have to be

afraid of them.”

When Mrs. Denton heard her brother's nmentioned, she gave Oriana a cold once-over, her eyes filled with

mockery.

“So, you're Keaton'’s latest flame?”

One of Oriana’s friends quickly chimed in. “That's right, scared now, are you? Lettell you, our darling Oriana

is the apple of Mr. Huber’s eye. She’s his darling! You mess with her and see how Mr. Huber deals with you! Just

you wait and weep!”

“Darling? Please! If | recall correctly, his girlfriend didn’t look like this yesterday morning. Did he switch up

yesterday afternoon, or was it last night?”

Her words dripped with sarcasm, and the woman who had spoken earlier flared up, “What the hell, who are you

mocking?! What does it matter when they made it official? Oriana is Mr. Huber’s girlfriend now!”

Jessamine’s brows furrowed. “Say that again. | dare you!”

“Iwill 1-"

Oriana quickly stood up, covering the woman's mouth with the fastest speed, and turned to Jessamine with a

sheepish smile, “Jessamine.”

“Don’t try to cozy up to me. Let her go, and let her speak her mind, and after she’s had her say, she won't be

needing her tongue anymore!”

People were stunned.

“Wha-What? She’s saying... she and Mr. Huber...”

Oriana, blushing and biting her lip, clutched at her clothes, looking the very picture of misery as she said,

*lessamine, I'm sorry, my friend didn’t know who you are.”

“Don’t you dare call‘Jessamine, who do you think you're fooling? Whether you knowor not is beside the

point. You're not so big yet you're already playing the bully with someone else's power, trying to leverage the

Huber family’s influence. But even if you want to be the Huber family’s lapdog, you'd first need to ask if th Huber

family is willing!”

Jessamine was not one to be trifled with, and Oriana’s entourage bowed their heads in fear. Tears were wetting

up in Oriana’s eyes.

“Oriana!” Keaton rushed in, panting heavily.

It was clear he’d hurried over after receiving a call from his distressed girlfriend. A model boyfriend during the

throes of romance.

From afar, Keaton saw Oriana looking distressed and frowned deeply. He quickly strode over to her.

Oriana looked up, seeing Keaton she felt even more aggrieved. “Keaton.”
