23. This Thought Scared Her
“Crazy woman, don’t be arrogant! If you continue to speak nonsense, I will sue you for slander!” The reporter had already left. Yura no longer held back and fiercely threatened.
Sally sneered and said, “Defamation? Fine, go and sue! Everyone can take this opportunity to expose your scheme!”
“You dare!” Yura’s face changed from pissed to anger. She raised her hand and wanted to slap Sally.
Sally’s reaction speed was very fast, but there was a wall behind her and she could not dodge far. She was still hit by Yura to her forehead.
Yura’s nails were thin and long, so a deep red finger mark quickly appeared on Sally’s fair forehead.
Sally’s temper was very hot and she immediately wanted to retaliate against Yura.
However, her movements were still a step too slow.
Slap.
Yura had already received a fierce slap on her face.
The makeup on her face had been damaged. Yura’s twisted expression was full of disbelief. She said, “You dare to hit me?!”
Jessie’s voice was as cold as ice. “What my friend said is true. If you dare to touch her, you deserve to be hit!”
Sally was extremely pleased and clapped her hands, “Good hit!”
Jessie really had an imposing manner!
“Yura, is your face alright? You are going to sing on stage in a while. Quick, let me see your face!” Hannah was extremely worried.
Yura pushed her away and pounced towards Jessie and Sally with an expression as if she wanted to eat them, “Two lowly things! Compensate my face! Compensate my face!”
Jessie instinctively reached out and grabbed Yura’s hair and threw her against the wall.
Hannah immediately went to help her younger sister to slap Jessie.
Sally also quickly rolled up her sleeves and joined the battle.
In the small lounge, there were constant sounds of women fighting and screaming.
“What are you guys doing? Stop immediately! Are you trying to lure the media over?” The man shouted at the door.
Yura was the first to react when she heard his roar. She was a public figure and her image was more important than her life. Yura did not care about revenge and blood hatred anymore and quickly stopped.
She took it quickly and Sally fiercely scratched her back a few times.
She wore a backless dress and there was a bloody scar on it.
Jessie also saw the man at the door and gave him a cold glance. She pulled Sally up and quickly walked past him and walked out.
When Sally walked over, she did not forget to glare at him fiercely and said, “The two of you are really a match made in heaven! Two pieces of trash!”
“Sally, don’t force me to make a move on a woman!” Mike narrowed his eyes.
Jessie suddenly turned her head and her eyes were very cold as she said, “You also don’t force me to hit
you!”
This kind of her suddenly made Mike somewhat absent-minded.
In the past, she was always gentle and kind in front of him. She had never had such a cold expression.
At that time, she had been as gentle as countless beautiful women. She could not arouse his interest. So, after he entered the entertainment industry and saw more beautiful women, he no longer cared about his wife.
However, at this moment, Jessie’s every expression seemed to have a new life. Her face was no longer purely beautiful. Instead, it became vivid and eye-catching.
Jessie knew that he could understand her threat. She did not even want to stay by his side for a second. She once again held Sally’s hand and strode away.
Bang.
Mike was still in a daze, and a tube of lipstick hit his face.
“Mike, are you dead? Didn’t you see that I was beaten by them? Not only did you not help us take revenge o n her, you even stared at her! If you can’t bear to part with her so much, then go with her!” Yura took countless things from the table at the side and threw them at him, roaring angrily.
Unexplainable impatience flashed across Mike’s heart, but his face broke into a smile. He quickly went over to comfort her. “There are many media outlets here. Don’t tell me you want to be in the headlines because of a fight?”
He understood what Jessie meant by threatening him just now. She hoped that they would not provoke her again. Otherwise, she would expose their previous engagement and the fact that he had
disappointed her.
When he thought of this, hatred began to gather in his heart. Could it be that she still wanted to tie him up for the rest of his life with these old and rotten things?
His eyes narrowed fiercely. “Don’t worry. I will think of a way to help you deal with her and vent your anger. Later, you will go on stage to sing. Now, it’s more important to think of a way to reduce the swelling on your face.”
“Yes, yes, yes. Mike is right. Yura, the most important thing right now is to reduce the swelling on your face. I’ll go get the ice cube. Hurry up and change into a suit. Don’t wear this dress anymore. There are scratches on your back.” Hannah quickly went out to look for ice cubes.
Yura looked at the red and swollen left side of her face in the mirror and wanted to kill Jessie even more. She glared fiercely at Mike and said, “Within today, you must help me get rid of her and make her pay the price. Otherwise, we will not get married!”
Mike became anxious and quickly expressed his stance, “Don’t worry, I will definitely think of a way to make her lose face tonight and make her unable to stay in R City any longer.”
How could he not marry Yura? He was no longer young, and the original image label was no longer
suitable for him. It was not easy for him to rely on his relationship with Yura as a lover to become a big star again. How could he not get married at such a time?
“Okay, I will wait!” Yura finally smiled. She reached out and touched his pants.
Mike was in no mood to flirt with her. He grabbed her hand and said, “Go and change into a spare dress.”
“Help me change!” Yura wrapped around his body.
Mike carried her into the locker room. After Yura took off her gown, she could not help but flirt with him.
Mike remembered Jessie’s face. He suddenly did not have any feelings for Yura in front of him. He frowned and pushed her away. “It’s better to be careful in this kind of occasion. Don’t let the media take pictures of us!”
Yura was very angry. She narrowed her eyes and said, “Seeing your ex-wife, do you want to rekindle your old relationship?”
Mike’s thoughts were exposed by her. He angrily pushed her to the wall and said, “Don’t speak nonsense! I f we have sex now, don’t blame me for making you so tired that you can’t stand stably on the stage!” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Yura revealed a lewd smile and raised her butt, saying, “If you have the ability, then make me unable to stand up!”
“Then you can give it a try!” Mike’s male dignity was questioned and he began to move.
In the locker room, there was only the low breathing of men and women interwoven together.

At 9:20, the host of the banquet invited the Louisdin and Dianyi’s barista to the banquet hall in the front hall so that they could make coffee for the guests.
Hannah went up the stage first amidst the waves of applause.
Jessie took a deep breath and followed a meter behind her onto the stage.
She inadvertently raised her head and swept a glance at the banquet venue. Among the countless people, a cold and outstanding figure made her pause for a moment.
Why is he here?
The man stood at the center of the banquet hall. He wore a black three-piece suit, and his handsome and deep face had a faint but polite smile. There was a goblet between his slender fingers, and from time to time, he would elegantly drink a few glasses.
He just stood there quietly, and was already the most dazzling and eye-catching main character in the entire audience.
The people around him were often seen on the financial and news channels. But when they talked to him, their attitudes were very humble. They were all famous big shots from all walks of life, but they were all just a foil to him.
Jessie had guessed that this person had a strong background, but she did not expect him to be so powerful. In such a grand occasion, he actually stood in the position of the person in charge.
His surname was. . . Laurent, Mumen Group.
Could it be…
He was actually a member of the Laurent family?!
This thought frightened even herself. Her heart trembled, and she subconsciously stole a glance at him.
The man’s pair of sharp and deep black eyes just happened to look straight at her.
When their eyes met, Jessie trembled. Almost at the same time when their eyes met, she immediately shifted her gaze away.
No matter who he was, she still had to continue her work.
She couldn’t mess up the company’s mission just to avoid a hateful man.
She bit her lips, lowered her head, and continued forward.
Hannah saw that she was about to go on stage, and an unnoticeable sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
“Raise your head and stick your chest out, do your best!” Sally followed behind Jessie to encourage her.
Jessie replied with a smile. Just as she walked onto the stage, her feet suddenly slipped.
She could not control her body and fell heavily onto the stage. The place where she fell was very slippery. causing her to fall even further away.
Her white skirt was also hung at the comer of the stage.
Because she slipped out, the entire back of the skirt was tom open.
The audience instantly fell silent, as if a pin drop could be heard.
A few seconds later, there was a flurry of boos.
Sally’s face also turned pale as she quickly followed and reached out to help Jessie up, “How could it be like this?”
Sally did not let the people below the stage see Jessie’s naked back.
Jessie did not care about the dull pain coming from her hip bone and reached out to touch the floor behind her.
She touched a lot of white latex liquid.
The liquid in her hand also emitted a strong fragrance.
Sally’s face turned cold. “This is milk. No wonder you fell.”
Both of them looked up at Hannah.
Hannah raised her eyebrows and held back her laughter, waiting to watch a good show.
Mike’s plan was indeed not bad. Jessie making a fool of herself in front of everyone, she probably would not be able to raise her head for the rest of her life.
Her life as barista in R City had finally come to an end.
Thinking of this, Hannah felt very straightforward and almost could not hold back her laughter.
In front of countless influential people, no matter how bold Sally was, she did not dare to argue with Hannah. She clenched her teeth tightly and whispered, “I will help you up.”
Jessie looked at Hannah who was not far away and clenched her teeth. She pretended to climb up and fall down again.
Her slender body slid forward again and reached out her hand to hang Hannah’s gown and skirt in a comer of the table.
Her speed was shockingly fast. Even Sally, who was the closest to her, did not notice it.
After finishing this, Jessie wanted to stop and only then did she realize that it was already too late.
The milk behind her was too slippery, and she was about to fall off the stage.
Suddenly, a stalwart black shadow jumped onto the stage like a vigorous cheetah. It stretched out its strong and strong arms and accurately hugged Jessie who was sliding out.
Alex picked her up and took off his suit and jacket with one hand, wrapping her small body up.
His suit was on her body, and it was so long that it covered her knees. The suit tightly covered her naked back.
