Chapter 106 Slapped Erica Back

• Evelyn stood her ground, her gaze as sharp and cold as a frost. She watched Erica Jones with a quiet, dangerous intensity. You're used to bullying people, aren't you? she thought, her jaw tight. You're used to everyone bowing to your 'International Queen' status, but those days are over.
• "Erica!" Michael's voice cracked through the room, vibrating with a coldness that made the air feel thin. Without a moment's hesitation, he reached out and grasped Evelyn's shoulder, pulling her firmly into his protection while roughly pushing Erica aside.
• Erica staggered, her heels clicking unevenly on the floor as she looked at him in sheer, naked disbelief. To her, this felt like a nightmare. She searched his face for a flicker of the man who was supposed to be her fiancé, but she found only a wall of ice. What kind of drug did this cheap woman give him? she wondered bitterly.
