Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0249

The music in the hall persisted relentlessly, but everyone present was frozen in place

Jasmine's face was half swollen, and the other half was as pale as a ghost

Her Ragile body nearly collapsed to the round, but someone quickly hes her eyes were empty and devoid of life

"beard Mr. Hawk dumped her How dare she treat his precious darting like

"Can anyone contact Mr. Hawk? Ms Copper rarely graces us with her presence. We can't let her be bullied!"

Amidst the mocking voices, Jasmine's tear filled eyes never left me. Her olistering tears under the lights made her appear even more pitiful.

I deliberately gave them a stern look, and they immediately fell silent, afraid

"But today, I realize there must be a reason he keeps me by his side. He wouldn't like someone as flashy as you, let's just forget about today I won't mention it to him since I don't want to trouble him" Everyone then praised her for being so gracious and understanding.

I smiled. She thought invoking Nicholas would scare me. I once played the gracious role too. I treated Claudia like a little sister for four years

awake. I wouldn't be gracious for his sake anymore. Without hesitation, I slapped her

but I casually blew on it "You better not tell him any of this!" I

Jasmine clutch her face as she ran off, I finally felt some relief from the frustration
