Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby

Chapter 316 Reputation Matters

Thea shot Clarissa a scornful look, "Hah! You failed to become the Lockharts' hostess and turned into a laughingstock. And yet, you still dare to mock me? Did you come here just to watch me embarrass myself?"

Clarissa took a deep breath, forcing a smile as she swallowed her frustration. "Thea, why would I do that? We're both in difficult positions right now. I may be struggling, but you're not any better off"

Thea cut her off. "Don't lump me in with you. I'd never sink so low as to steal someone's sperm just to have a child-only to get rejected anyway."

She rolled her eyes, glancing at her freshly painted nails. "How humiliating. Everyone in our circle is laughing at you. Your family is truly something-one sister a mistress with no status, and the other trying to trap a man with a baby. A perfect match."

Thea had never been one to hold back.

Clarissa and Regina both turned pale with anger.

Regina stepped forward, her fists clenched. "Watch your mouth, Thea. Who do you think you are? Just because you're a celebrity, you think you're better than everyone else?"

Clarissa quickly grabbed Regina's arm, shooting her a warning look. Picking a fight here wouldn't help them.

Regina huffed in frustration but backed off, moving to the side.

Clarissa sat down with a forced smile. "Thea, let's put past grudges aside. The real issue right now is Kelly. She's the reason you're in the hospital, and now she's provoking you on Twitter. Are you going to let this go? Besides, she's not even good enough for Zion."

Thea smirked. "She's still a better match than you. At least she's a doctor with a real job and a clean reputation. Unlike you, who will do anything to climb the social ladder. Honestly, you should get tested regularly for STDs. I don't want to catch anything just from being near you." She made a show of covering her mouth in disgust.

The words themselves weren't lethal, but the insult was cutting.

Clarissa's patience snapped. She shot to her feet, fists clenched. "Thea, if Zion doesn't divorce Kelly, you'll never have him! I wanted to help you, but you're too blind to see it!"

With that, she stormed out.
