Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Don’t Be Afraid, I’m Here
Zachary married Ivana six years ago, Pearl was heartbroken for so long!
Pearl secretly observed Michelle’s expression; just a while ago, Zachary dumped Michelle at the wedding because of Ivana, this is even more intense.
Zachary doesn’t want Michelle anymore, now he’s gone to assault Ivana.
This return to old habits by Zachary is explosive.
Michelle’s expression was extremely gloomy, her fingers dug into her palm, drawing blood, but she couldn’t feel the pain. Funny? She felt like she was a ridiculous joke.
Especially when Pearl said that sentence.
Michelle felt a wave of humiliation crashing down on her, harshly ridiculing her.
Michelle was so furious she could die, yet she had to pretend nonchalantly: "Oh? Really? I don’t think so. Perhaps you don’t know how low Ivana is? She’s the best at playing hard to get, saying no when she really wants it."
She added: "If she hadn’t intentionally seduced Zachary, why would Zachary follow her into the women’s bathroom?"
Pearl saw Michelle stubbornly distorting the facts, actually just trying to save face, she held back her laughter and said to Michelle, "Ivana is so loose, should we just let her get away with it? Should we go tell Leon and let him catch them red-handed?"
A wake-up call.
Michelle’s eyes lit up and she said, "Of course we should tell him. Pearl, go tell Leon now, Zachary takes half an hour each time, bring Leon over within that half hour and catch these scumbags in the act."
Zachary had already abandoned her, walking away in front of so many people at the wedding. What was there to linger on? What was there to consider for Zachary?
Even if this escalates and Zachary gets arrested, he deserves it, he asked for it.
Just because he can’t get over Ivana, this wretched woman, still thinking about hooking up with Ivana?
Pearl was stunned, damn, is Zachary that skilled in that aspect?
I really want to try it.
Pearl wanted this exact effect, she immediately agreed, trying to figure out a way to approach Leon and say a few words to attract Leon’s attention! The opportunity suddenly arrived.
Pearl felt that no banquet before was as lucky as this one; Zachary, her former crush, was nothing compared to a bigshot like Leon in Ravenswood.
She eagerly ran to find Leon.
"President Kane, President Kane, I’m Pearl Fletcher. I just saw your female companion go into the women’s bathroom with a man, and they’re still not out..."
Pearl’s self-introduction failed to attract Leon’s attention; it was not until she finished the latter half of the sentence that Leon’s dark eyes finally looked at her. Her breath caught; in that instant, Leon’s handsome face suddenly darkened, and he turned and charged towards the women’s bathroom.
Pearl watched Leon’s departing back, his sprint was incomparably handsome, her heartbeat sped up, imagining being Leon’s female companion...
"Pearl Fletcher, is it?"
She impatiently turned her head, seeing Howard’s charmingly handsome face, his long, narrow phoenix eyes seemingly seductive, Pearl’s face instantly flushed.
"President Yeats, hello." The business mogul, Pearl had memorized their faces, this President Yeats was the emperor of the entertainment industry, he says one and nobody dares to say two.
Could it be President Yeats has his eyes on her? Thinks she’d fit as a movie star?
Pearl’s heart raced uncontrollably; if that’s the case, her luck tonight is too high, even more incredible than winning the lottery. If President Yeats could sponsor her, she would turn her life around, becoming the top in the entertainment industry.
Just the thought is exciting.
"Did you see Ivana go into the women’s bathroom with a man?" Howard smiled seductively at her, appearing gentle on the outside, but cold inside.
Pearl, this woman dreaming of rising to the top, he’d seen too many, regarding such women as repulsive as maggots in a toilet.
He had a favorable impression of Ivana, not to mention Ivana was the biological mother of his brother’s two sons, naturally, she needed protection.
Pearl had no guard against Howard, spoke frankly: "Yes! That man is Zachary, apparently Ivana’s ex-husband. She went in with her ex, maybe reminiscing in the women’s bathroom!"
Pearl spoke with more enthusiasm, as if ruining Ivana, getting Ivana out of the way, would allow her to rise to become Leon’s female companion.
"Oh? Zachary? You heard Ivana and Zachary reminiscing? What else did you hear?" Howard frowned, Ivana had such a past? Did Leon know?
At this moment, Howard held a cautious attitude towards Ivana, he needed to see Leon’s stance before deciding his own.
"I heard..." Pearl recalled what Michelle said, blushing, "They seemed to be... doing it in the women’s bathroom."
Howard’s mouth twitched, his voice suddenly cold: "You better ensure that every word you say now is the truth, or I’ll ruin your reputation, make you disappear from Ravenswood forever."
Pearl was frightened by Howard’s sudden change in tone, she looked at him in horror, trembling all over, tears nearly falling out.
"President... President Yeats... why?" She desperately wanted to know why Howard was so protective of Ivana? Ivana was just a tramp, broken shoe, yet was Leon’s female companion, what kind of status did Howard hold? He shouldn’t be protecting her like this.
Pearl never imagined Howard’s reason for such protection was not because of Ivana herself, but because she was the mother of the two little masters in the Kane family.
Ivana wasn’t to be maligned by anyone.
Michelle heard hurried footsteps, she turned to see Leon’s figure, a sinister smile appeared on her lips, she stepped aside, ready to watch the show.
Leon was seething with cold, seeing the women’s restroom door locked, he took two steps back, charged, and forcefully kicked the bathroom door, the strength so great it directly flew open.
He saw Ivana’s little dress torn open, tears in her eyes as she was pinned under Zachary, a never-before felt fury surged in Leon’s mind, he charged forward, a fierce punch landed on Zachary’s face, knocking him to the ground, his eye immediately bruising and swelling.
Leon embraced the fallen Ivana, pulling her torn but not overly exposed dress up a bit, tightly holding her, feeling her delicate body tremble in his arms, Leon’s heart ached, his dark eyes full of rage.
"Don’t be afraid, I’m here, no one can bully or hurt you."
Ivana buried her face in Leon’s embrace, tears instantly streaming out, she bit her lips tightly, not letting her weak, helpless sobbing escape her mouth.
