Chapter 9 I'm Late

• I couldn't help but laugh at this. I'm afraid if my dad were here, he would be furious to hear this.
• "You seem quite skilled at your job. After all, the person you're holding onto now is someone you got by interfering in someone else's relationship."
• As soon as these words left my mouth, I could feel the burning anger in Kevin's eyes.
• I didn't care; instead, I met his angry gaze head-on...
• "What's wrong, did I hit a nerve? But everything you did was your own choice, so why are you upset?"
• He looked at me, seemingly surprised that I could speak to him in such a way that would make him lose face, his hand trembling slightly with anger.
• "Lynn!"
• He was furious, raising his hand, and I closed my eyes, ready to take the slap. At least I had satisfied my urge to speak out.
• But the expected slap never came, and as I opened my tightly closed eyes, I saw a familiar face.
• "It's you?"
• It was the man I rear-ended that day, truly handsome; even his actions in stopping Kevin were so elegant and graceful.
• I must clarify, I'm not someone who judges by appearance, but I understand the concept of beauty being a form of justice.
• "Am I really that good-looking? Then I should charge for it."
• The man spoke, his eyes filled with amusement as he looked at me, but I could see that he hadn't relaxed his grip on Kevin's wrist, still holding it tightly.
• "Who are you! Let go of me! Do you know who I am? How dare you stop me? I know, you're Lynn's new lover. Do you know what kind of woman she is? She's a slut! She's been with me for years, just had dinner with an old man—you better be careful, women like her..."
• Before Kevin could finish his sentence, the man's expression turned cold, pushing him away mercilessly, as if he was looking at something dirty. He then casually wiped his hands.
• "I apologize for being late, sorry for the disturbance caused by this filth. I'm Kris Davis."
• I couldn't help but stare at the man's smiling face, truly beautiful—a face that could make it in showbiz even if the body wasn't coordinated.
• Kevin staggered back a few steps, unable to stand firm against the man's strength, but as he saw him getting closer to me, Kevin visibly displeased, and then stepped forward again.
• "I can tell you, this woman is not a good person. You must not be deceived by this innocent face; this woman is..."
• "Smack!"
• I slapped him again. From the beginning until now, I have given him several slaps. It was his own fault for insisting on coming up and talking nonsense.
• Honestly speaking, over the years, I have been wholeheartedly devoted to him. I don't understand how it has come to this?
• The person who has been by my side day and night actually dares to speak so arrogantly to me, knowing how innocent I am but still choosing to throw buckets of dirt on me.
• I am not a pushover, and I will not allow these words to come out of Kevin's mouth again.
• "During all these years together, I believe I have treated you well. From investments to the final breakup, I have no regrets. It is you who have cheated, betrayed, and poached technical staff. I didn't want to bring these things up, but since you have no shame, I see no reason to show you any mercy. You keep explaining that there is nothing between you and Tiffany, then what do the photos I received mean?"
• Upon hearing my words, Kevin's face finally showed a hint of panic.
• He has always looked down on me with that condescending gaze, as if my kindness to him was expected, as if my existence was solely to help him take risks selflessly and then marry him, without having any say in his life.
• But I am not a tool to serve him.
• "Lynn, I know you still resent me, yes, now that I am with Kevin, it must be hard for you..."
• My ears were ringing from her words. I didn't spare this heiress of the Clark Group and gave her a slap as well.
• "Where did this buzzing mosquito come from?"
• Tiffany covered her face, looking at me with jealousy, as if she wanted to devour me alive.
• "Lynn, how dare you hit me! Who do you think you are to lay a hand on me!"
• She waved her Swarovski crystal-studded nails at me, as if she was about to charge at me but was stopped by the bodyguards next to Kris. I gave him a grateful look.
• "You'd better just leave my sight honestly, or I will expose those photos you sent me to the media as they are. I believe the topic of 'the heiress of Clark Group interfering in others’ relationships' should be quite valuable."
• As I expected, Tiffany, this single-celled organism, didn't think of this as a threat at all and even looked at me smugly.
• "Go ahead and send them, these are all evidence of my relationship with Kevin. I sent them to you to let you also feel what happiness is. Do you think having a man with a bodyguard by his side can do whatever he wants? Let me tell you, even if you send these photos out, I'm not afraid. Netizens will only bless me and Kevin; no one will dare to touch the Clark Group's mold!"
• Tiffany really is a consistent fool. Her words made me really unable to help but want to laugh.
• Kris walked over, sat down beside me, stirred his coffee leisurely, and seemed to not want to get involved in this matter.
• I wiped away the tears that came out of my eyes from laughing and looked at Tiffany.
• "Do you really think netizens are all fools? Since I dare to send them, I am naturally prepared for all kinds of timelines. Do you think your newly opened company can withstand the impact of these photos?"
• Tiffany wanted to say something else but was stopped by Kevin. He glanced at Kris beside me, then furrowed his brows awkwardly.
• "Let it go, Tiffany, we don't need to argue with this shrew. It's already unlucky enough to encounter her. Let's just go."
• After saying this, Kevin, regardless of Tiffany's temper, directly led her out of the restaurant.
• Seeing the two of them disappear from sight, I felt like all my strength had been drained, and I collapsed into my seat.
