Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Chapter 924

Was Michelle trying to stir the pot?

Before Valarie could respond, Brandon looked up at Michelle, his tone slightly cold. "None of you are my girlfriend, so why would I treat you the same?"

Michelle's smile froze, and an awkward silence settled over the room.

Jayden's grin faded as he said, "Brandon, Michelle was just trying to be friendly. Was it necessary to be so harsh?"

"I was simply stating facts. If she finds that harsh, perhaps the issue lies with her," Brandon replied calmly.

Jayden frowned, ready to retort, but Yale cut in before he could, "Alright, that's enough. Let's not ruin the mood. Today is about Brandon introducing his girlfriend to us-they're the main event." Jayden still looked upset but decided to hold his tongue.

Michelle, on the verge of tears, glanced at Brandon with a pitiful expression. "I'm sorry, Brandon. I didn't mean to upset you and Valarie. Maybe I should leave so I don't ruin the atmosphere." She reached for her bag and moved as if to leave.

Jayden immediately stopped her, his voice cold. "Michelle, we're all friends here. If you leave, does that mean the rest of us should leave too?"
