After Marrying My Boss

Chapter 9

Seeing the contempt written all over Natalie's face, Mabel's expression changed to one of fury. “Watch your tongue, Natalie Xavier! Justin and I love each other. If it weren't for Anna, we would've gotten together ages ago!”

In turn, Natalie rolled her eyes and put on a disgusted expression. “Ever since ancient times, all homewreckers say the same thing. But in reality, all those claims of true love are nothing but a load of b*llshit. In truth, you're merely a sl*t who seduced your best friend's fiancé!”

Mabel glared at her with rage stark on her face. “Who are you calling a sl*t? Say it one more time if you dare, Natalie Xavier!”

“Doesn't the person whom I'm calling a sl*t know full well who she is? Ah well, some people still want to be treated like royalty despite being a sl*t. How disgusting!” Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Not to be intimidated, Natalie shot daggers at her as well.

Their argument attracted a lot of attention, so I quickly tugged at Natalie's arm. “There's no need to get testy with such people, so let's go.”

“Justin, are you not going to do anything when they're picking on me?”

Mabel tugged at Justin's arm with an aggrieved expression just when I was about to leave with Natalie.

“Anna,” Justin called out to me.

His brows were furrowed slightly as though he couldn't bear to see Mabel upset.

Upon hearing him call my name, an inexplicable stab of pain lanced through me. Suppressing my tears that were pushing to the forefront, I turned around and stared at him impassively.

“Shouldn't your friend, Natalie, apologize, considering her harsh words to Mabel just now?”

Justin looked at me from afar, his voice bereft of emotion.

The sight of his indifferent expression hit me hard, and the pain was so intense that it felt as though someone had ripped my heart to shreds. Haha, the man who once loved and protected me is now questioning me because of another woman. At the end of the day, our relationship is nothing compared to a homewrecker!

“Natalie didn't say anything wrong. It was you who cheated on me and betrayed me first. You duped me for a whole seven years, yet you want my friend to apologize to a homewrecker? What gives? What right do you have to demand that I apologize, Justin Xenakis?” I rebuked in a booming voice as I stalked toward him.

At that moment, I could no longer be bothered by the gazes of the people around us.

I've already tolerated the fact that he cheated on me, but now, he's taking a mile when he's been given an inch. Am I really such easy prey to him?

When the crowd heard that, they started whispering among themselves. The majority of them condemned Justin for cheating on me.

I had always been meek and docile. Never had I raised my voice to him, but I finally snapped that day.

It was evident that Justin didn't expect me to announce the fact that he had cheated on me in such a thundering voice. For a moment, he couldn't quite hold his head up, and guilt crept into his gaze.

“Why are you screeching, Anna Garcia? Justin and I love each other! If it weren't for you, we would've gotten married long ago! Stop feigning a pitiful expression here when it was you who hogged him, refusing to let him go!”

Sauntering over to Justin, Mabel clutched his arm tightly while glowering at me.

“Love, you said? And I hogged him? Haha... I wouldn't want such a cheating scumbag even if you were to give him to me now! I find him utterly repulsive!”

The corners of my mouth curved into a sneer, and I stared at the two people who snuggled together intimately.

I could never tolerate the slightest betrayal, much less infidelity in a relationship. No matter how much I once loved Justin, things were over between us the moment I saw him fooling around with my former best friend.
