Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 278

Melissa:"??"

She was a little angry.

She didn't expect that in order to prevent an embarrassing situation, Justin actually didn't even care that Nora had suffered injustice.

The man who had almost been hit became even more triumphant. He said, "That's right! If you're unhappy, then we can just talk about it. What is the meaning of resorting to violence? You're too much!"

He looked at Justin again. "It's okay, though, Mr. Hunt. I'll let the matter pass as long as she apologizes to me. I won't hold it against her..."

It was only after he spoke that he realized that Justin wasn't looking at him at all. Instead, he was looking at Nora.

Nora's brows were raised. She asked with a hint of displeasure, "Why can't I hit him?"

That woman was actually countering with a question of her own?

The man immediately sneered, "Because you should see where you are..."

It was a shame that before he could finish, Justin had already said, "Because force goes both ways. What if it hurts your hand?"

Everyone:"????"

For a while, it was as if someone had pressed the mute button for the entire party hall.

There was no other sound aside from the soft music that the Hunts were playing.

Yvonne's friends next to her, the rich young men taking the opportunity to fool about, the people with actual status and influence, as well as the guests that had just entered the hall... All of them were looking at him in disbelief.

Justin's voice just now had neither been too loud nor too soft, but because everyone was paying attention to him in order to determine his stance, his words had reached everyone's ears clearly.

Everyone looked at him incredulously, and then at Nora.

All of them were wondering the same thing—what was going on here?

Why did the atmosphere between Mr. Hunt and Nora Smith feel kinda off?’ Also, why was Mr. Hunt still holding Ms. Smith's hand even though so much time had passed since he grabbed her hand to stop her?

Yvonne's friends next to her started whispering and speculating again.

"What's going on? Why does it look like Mr. Hunt knows that hillbilly?"

"Why do I feel like there's an unusual relationship between those two?" Along with those words, the few of them looked at Yvonne and asked, "Surely Mr. Hunt doesn't have anything to do with her, right, Ms. Smith?"

Yvonne bit her lip.

She lowered her head and slowly said, "I don't know what kind of relationship the two of them share, but even if they aren't related in any way, a host won't stand by idly and watch as someone bullies their guest, right? After all, those men went too far."

Rachel was so jealous that she was almost out of her mind. She said, "Yeah, what kind of relationship can Nora Smith and Mr. Hunt possibly share? They have nothing to do with each other at all! Mr. Hunt must have just found those people's actions too much. It's just a shame that he doesn't know what that woman is like!"

The girls:

Everyone exchanged looks with one another, all of them sensing something amiss.

Why did Yvonne look a little unhappy? It seemed like that woman's presence was really bothering her...

Everyone was smart here. They hadn't thought of that in the beginning, but now...
