Chapter 1565
[ 650 words ]
“Don’t touch me!”
Janet forcefully shook off the woman’s hand, growling coldly, “Who he is has
absolutely nothing to do with you. And as for that piece of garbage Kian, I wouldn’t take him if you paid me. Just having my name associated with his makes me sick to my stomach.”
“Since you love him so much, you can keep him.”
Janet held her reddened wrist, her eyes blazing with absolute conviction as she declared, “Also, you can go back and tell him this: I will trace the source of that forum post, and I will not let him get away with it.”
The woman was shoved back a step by Janet’s resistance, nearly losing her footing. Fury surged straight to her head.
She took a massive stride forward, raising her hand to slap Janet across the face. “You dare push me?! I’ll kill you today, you little homewrecker!”
Janet instinctively dodged backward, but there was a dining table and a wall right behind her.
Her waist slammed hard against the sharp corner of the table.
In an instant.
A tearing, agonizing pain shot through her bones, hurting so badly she couldn’t stand straight.
By the time she snapped back to reality, the woman’s palm was already inches from her face.
Janet had no energy left to dodge; she gritted her teeth, bracing for the inevitable strike.
“Hiss-“
The surrounding crowd gasped, frozen in place by the sudden escalation.
If that slap connected, Janet’s face would be ruined!
But then again.
If you have the nerve to be a mistress, you have to face the consequences.
Just as everyone thought Janet was definitely about to take a beating.
A large hand, knuckles prominent and veins bulging, suddenly seized the woman’s wrist mid-air.
“?”
The woman whipped her head around, only to see a tall, incredibly handsome man staring her down, his dark eyes radiating absolute frost.
“Who the hell are you?”
The woman was momentarily stunned by his face, but the sharp pain in her wrist quickly brought her back to her senses. “It hurts, let me go!”
“Weren’t you just asking about me?”
Melvin still held the gift boxes in his left hand. He had clearly sprinted all the way from the parking lot.
His white t-shirt was halfway soaked through, and a fine layer of sweat coated his forehead.
He was still catching his breath as he spoke.
The woman struggled. “What? What was I asking?”
“Janet was supposedly two-timing-one was Kian. Coincidentally, I’m the other guy Melvin answered in a tone of pure ice his grip not loosening a fraction of an inch.
The woman blanked for several seconds before it clicked. She blurted out, “So you’re the affair partner!”
The rest of the crowd nearly passed out from shock at the phrase “affair partner.”
Melvin rarely made public media appearances; they only knew he was Juniper’s brother, but most had no idea what he looked like.
However, because he had recently been coming to the Law School for seminars and had sponsored the resort trip, combined with his striking looks and physique, Melvin’s name had first made waves in the
Law School before spreading across the entire campus.
He was Eclara’s prime eligible bachelor. How long had this girl been living under a rock to call him an “affair partner”?!
Wait.
The gossiping murmurs in the crowd abruptly died down.
Melvin just said he was the “other guy.”
Therefore, the man in the photo wasn’t some married sugar daddy, but… Melvin Steele?!
Melvin was Juniper’s brother, and Janet was basically Juniper’s adopted sister. Looking at it that way, she was essentially Melvin’s little sister too.
An older brother picking up his little sister…
That was completely normal!
The entire cafeteria fell dead silent.
Janet slowly straightened her posture and looked up at the tall silhouette beside her,
her eyes welling with tears.
“Mr. Steele.” Her pale lips trembled, letting out a stifled, deeply wronged whisper, “Weren’t you on a business trip? Why are you here?”
Melvin tossed the woman’s arm
aside and shot Janet a gentle smile.
“Someone’s trying to catch you having an affair. How could miss it
when I’m the other guy?”
