Chapter 42 I Will Never Marry You
Stella raised an eyebrow. The way you said thatsoundslike you’d actually speak up for me.”
Her words were laced withsarcasm. Who knows if these people are blind, deaf, or just choosing to lie to themselves
The entire city knew about her canceled engagement, yet these people still thought she had come looking for Ethan.
Seeing her attitude, Jonathan grew even angrier. In any case, you need to leave right now, Dressed like that, you’re an embarrassment.”
Ethan stepped forward too, his face serious as he looked at her.
Especially when he saw what she was wearing, his eyes flashed with undisguised disgust.
“Leave now. Since the wedding is off, justasyou wished, go.”
Stella ignored him.
“Stella, if I ever think about marrying you again in this lifetime, then I’m a d’mn dog!”
Sharonclicked over in high heels after hearing Ethan’s words. “Did you hear that? Mr. Keene doesn’t want you anymore. Your dream ofbecomingthe number one lady inRivermountisover,
Stella looked at Sharon. “That’s exactly what I hoped for.”
The number one lady in Rivermount? Is that supposed to be my dream? Even if it were, to her, it’s nothing but a nightmare,
Sharonlaughed even more mockingly. “Still putting on a front? You couldn’t marry Mr. Keene, and you messed things upt with the Reed familytoo. Wait until you’re begging in the streets, let’s see how much pride you’ll have then.”
Tessa snapped. “Who are you calling a beggar? So what if she doesn’t have the Keene or Reed family? You thinkshehas no
Seeing how Tessa kept defending Stella,Sharonsneered. “And how long do youplanto protect her? Tessa, you’re always shielding her like this, don’t tell me you actually like her? Well, I guess nowadays, man and man, woman and woman, it’s not rare anymore. But if you’re going to fall that far,at least pick someone better than this.”
Tessa retorted, “You…“/
Smack!
The crisp sound of a slap cut Tessa off.
It was Stella
She hadn’t planned to waste her time on someone as brainless as Sharon, but hearing her insult Tessa like that, Stella couldn’t take it anymore.
With that slap, the entire room fell silent.
Everyone stared at Stella in shock. Noonecould believeit. ShehadactuallyhitSharon.
Sharon held her face, looking at Stella in disbelief. “Are you crazy? You hit me?”
Thit you. So what? What’s there to be afraid of? Stella’svoicedrippedwith contempt. “With a mouth like yours, you could use ten more slaps and it still wouldn’t be enough.”
Jonathan finally reacted. Stella had dared to hit someone inasetting like this. His fury erupted.

Jonathan was furious. “Your”
Seeinghow arrogant and unrepentant she was,Jonathan raised his hand, winding up for a full swing
This rebellious girl needed to betaughtalesson.
Thinking of all the chaos she’d caused recently, Jonathan wished he could slap the defiance out of her.
But just as his palmwasabout to land on her face, his wristwasgrabbed, held tightly by someone with shocking strength.
At the sametime. Stella’s knee shot up, right into his groin.
With a muttled grunt, Jonathan’s face twisted in agony. “Stella, you!”
Eddie had grabbed Jonathan’s wrist, ready to Lund a few punches on the man for trying to hit a woman. But the next second, Jonathan crumpled to the floor, curled up in pain,
Eddie’smouthtwitched. “What the hell? Are you trying to fake an injury?
He hadn’t even thrownapunch yet.
But this didn’t look fake.Jonathan’sface was twisted in real pain.
