Chapter 406
A man who never bothered with pictures had started documenting every moment after meeting his true love. Love truly was the most powerful magic in the world.
It was only then that Noreen realized just how much disrespect she had tolerated in her desperate pursuit of Seth’s affection. No photos together. No anniversaries celebrated. No public acknowledgment of their relationship. But back then, she had wanted a future with him so badly that she had been willing to accept any unfairness.
But some things, and some people, are irreplaceable only until something new comes along. She had cheated and bent every rule for him in the game of love, and he still failed. Yet Bianca had won it all without even trying.
The next morning, Noreen and her team arrived at the airport lounge for their flight to Glenhaven City. She had brought Sophia along for the business trip, and Vincent was with them as well. While they waited, Mrs. Joyner called to check in, informing Noreen that she had arranged for a driver to pick them up upon arrival.
Noreen reminded Sophia to get some hot water for Vincent, as he needed to take his medication. But after Sophia left, she didn’t return for a long time. Feeling something was amiss, Noreen went to check on her.
Near the hot water dispenser, Sophia was arguing with a middle-aged woman in her fifties.
“I already told you, I didn’t spill the water on the floor! It has nothing to do with me that you fell. In fact, I helped you up! Why are you turning on me?” Sophia was fuming, having never encountered someone so unreasonable.
“You malicious little girl! You’re the one who made me fall, and now you’re blaming me? Do you want me to call the police?” the woman retorted haughtily. “I suggest you apologize right now. My niece’s fiancé is from the most powerful family in Rivercrest City!”
Noreen frowned. There weren’t many families that could claim that title.
“What’s going on?” Yvonne Laurent asked, emerging from the restroom and taking in the scene.
The middle-aged woman immediately pointed at Sophia. “This woman spilled water on the floor and made me fall! Look what she did to my dress! This is designer! I just bought it yesterday! I haven’t even had a chance to show my niece’s fiancé, and she’s already ruined it!”
“I told you, it wasn’t me!” Sophia shot back, exasperated. “I even helped you up!”
“Helped me? More like you have a guilty conscience! Why else would you have rushed to help me if you hadn’t done anything wrong?”
Sophia was speechless.
“Sophia,” Noreen said, walking over to her.
“Noreen,” Sophia mumbled, looking utterly wronged.
When Yvonne saw Noreen, her expression instantly turned icy.
Noreen’s gaze fell on the middle-aged woman, her presence commanding. “There are security cameras here. It will be very easy to find out who spilled the water it was my assistant, I will apologize and compensate you for your dress. But if she had nothing to do with it, you will apologize to her.”
“Check them, who’s afraid? Let me tell you, if it was her, I’m pressing charges!” the woman doubled down. “My niece’s fiance has the best legal team in Rivercrest City!”
Noreen’s brow furrowed slightly. “Fine. But if it turns out she’s innocent, we’ll be suing you for slander.”
The woman hadn’t expected two young women to be so unflappable. Flustered, she turned to Yvonne. “Yvonne, call your nephew-in-law. Tell him to come sort this out.”
Yvonne didn’t want to bother Seth with such a trivial matter and was about to tell her to drop it when Seth and Bianca arrived.
“Mom? Aunt Lana? What are you two doing standing here?” Bianca asked.
So, the woman was Bianca’s aunt. The source of this content ɪs
“Bianca, you’re finally here! You have to stand up for me! This woman made me fall and won’t even apologize. She even accused me of trying to scam her! She’s completely unreasonable!” the woman, Lana, whined to Bianca.
