SPOILED GIRL, VOLUME 2 - Season 11 Episode 44

Michelle glared at Emily contemptuously and her arrogance, which had been effectively suppressed, resurfaced again in an instant.

Despite Rita being Michelle’s sister, the person she really cared about was Emily, which was really irksome.

David was standing next to Rita and only greeted Jacob courteously, as if he did not notice Michelle.

After a short exchange of pleasantries, Rita turned to Michelle again and glared at her with her fury effectively concealed.

“Michelle, why are you here?”

Rita questioned Michelle in a chillingly firm tone. David wanted to comfort and calm her down, but Rita stared back at him, visibly irritated.

Rita was aware of the fact that Michelle had arrived here accompanying Jacob.

They looked so close and intimate that it made Rita very uncomfortable. She wanted to slap Michelle repeatedly, as a punishment for stealing Jacob from Emily.

“What does that have to do with you? Who do you think you are? My sister?

You don’t deserve to be my sister at all!” Michelle retorted aggressively.

She had thought that Rita would admit to her mistakes, beg for forgiveness and attempt to make up with her. She had not expected that Rita would talk and laugh with this bitch Emily and treat her like she didn’t exist at all.

Michelle wasn’t dependent on her sister or anyone else. For the past two decades, she had lived on her own without anyone caring for her or her emotions. Hence, she didn’t really think she had to care about Rita’s feelings either.

“You! You little…”

Rita was obviously angry. She was apprehensive about the effects her anger might have on the baby in her stomach. She had to suck it up. But David interrupted, “Michelle, please sit down. She’s just a little upset. Give her some time.”

David sounded very calm, restraining all urges to create a scene. But there was an inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

Although Rita didn’t bother to publicly talk about Michelle’s immoral conduct, everyone present around them was aware of it. Even though Rita tried to conceal her anger, Michelle still felt that she was being unfairly attacked by Rita.
She was visibly stunned by Rita’s accusation.

She knew her sister very well. Moreover, Rita’s reactions meant that she could not just let Michelle and Jacob’s affair continue to flourish vividly.

“Who do you think you are to order me what to do and what not to do? Where were you when Louis and Emily bullied me ruthlessly? Thank you for thinking about the fact that you’re my sister at this time. But what about just now?”

Michelle scolded, glaring at Rita and David incredulously, her anger and resentment rising to a whole new level. Michelle was usually a calm and composed person. The explosion of her anger was unlike anything anyone had ever witnessed.

“Michelle!”

David suddenly shouted angrily as his eyebrows twisted into a knot. He seemed to be struggling to control his anger as he yelled at Michelle in a low voice, “Don’t push your luck way too much! Know your limit!”

He knew what kind of people Michelle and Emily were. It was absolutely impossible for Michelle to be bullied by Emily. On the other hand, it was likely that Michelle might have tried to provoke Emily first and that Louis had simply tried to protect his sister.

Rita was right.

“Michelle, your sister is pregnant. Be careful about what you say to her! Tread lightly!”

Hearing Michelle’s accusation, Emily, who had been standing right next to Rita all this while, tried to warn Michelle to be cautious not to upset Rita. Emily saw that Rita was covering her stomach with her hand. She was reminded of the vulnerable state that Rita was in, which made her worried, and she grimaced at Michelle.

Although she had tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart so as to not ruin today’s charity party and embarrass everyone, Michelle still felt the chilling resentment running up her spine. She wanted to express her frustration openly.

“Let’s go.”

Just when Michelle didn’t know how to escape from this awkward situation, Jacob spoke in a quiet voice devoid of any emotion, which stunned Emily.

Jacob seemed to be unaffected by everything that had occurred here.

“Jacob!”

Michelle felt relieved upon hearing Jacob’s words. She thought that he was going to help her and pretended to be embarrassed. She tried to show everyone that she didn’t really want to give up and leave. It was only because of Jacob’s insistence to leave that she was letting Emily off the hook. Jacob was being a blessing in disguise for her.

She quickly tip-toed behind Jacob.

But Jacob abruptly paused when he reached the seat that was diagonally farthest away from Emily’s. He took off his suit jacket and threw it on the chair. He shot a quick glance at Michelle coldly and said, “I have something else to do. You wait for me here.”

“Jacob?”

Michelle frowned and nodded. Before she could muster the courage to ask him anything, Jacob had already walked away.

All she could do was to stand there helplessly. She felt all her strength draining away from her limbs. She was at Jacob’s mercy and she couldn’t do anything by herself.

“What a great show…”

At the bar not far away from Emily and company, Dina leaned on Darren coquettishly, staring at the crowd with amusement. She savored the fight right from the beginning until the end, with an enchanting smile being displayed on her face throughout the show.

“I just don’t know who will be the winner in the end. It seems that it won’t be too boring today. We’ve gotten to an interesting start already,”

Darren mocked in a deep voice, holding Dina in his arms with a mysterious and treacherous smile on his face. Darren had always been an intriguing person who kept a lot to himself.

After the taunting remark, his gaze seemed to have fixed solely on Rita. Ri… ta…

“Who is it?”

Jacob murmured in displeasure, his brows furrowed impatiently. He scanned the hall carefully, trying not to miss any significant details.

His eyes were filled with a gloomy and sullen light.

His cold aura intimidated everyone.

He had absolutely no intention to flee from the scene just yet. He had realized that someone was watching Emily discreetly. When he tried to find out who it was, the feeling disappeared. It was obvious to him that someone was trying to get their hands on Emily.

He was worried, so he came out of the hall hastily. He was worried that someone would eventually figure out that his amnesia was a lie and try to hurt Emily. But after inspecting the corridor outside the hall, he did not find anyone or anything suspicious.

It was as if the person had disappeared into thin air.

He frowned in frustration while biting his lips.

Had he really made a mistake?

It couldn’t be…

“Well, it’s almost time. I’m glad you can all attend today’s charity party.”

While he wanted to continue with his search, the light above the central podium was switched on, and then came Hunk’s loud and firm voice.

To direct everyone’s attention to the objects being auctioned off, the central light was turned on and the lights around it were dimmed.

Jacob couldn’t see clearly in the dark, so he gave up his plan, returned to the hall and settled down.

It might have been a coincidence that even though the seat Jacob had chosen just now was the farthest away from Emily, it was also at the perfect angle to keep an eye on Emily and co.

“Today’s charity party is being held mainly because I have something to announce.”

Hunk scanned the audience like a hawk, intimidating everyone his eyes fell on.

Suddenly, Hunk stopped his moving gaze, and his eyes went straight to Jacob. Even though it was dark, he spotted Jacob by the weak light radiating from above the podium. Jacob’s presence startled Hunk. His confident and intimidating face suddenly fell.
