Regarding Justin with derision etched on my face, I deliberately said all that to hit him where it hurt. After all, he was an arrogant person who felt that he was very capable. As expected, his expression instantly darkened when I compared him with Michael.

Men were creatures with fragile egos, especially when they were compared to someone else. In comparison with Michael, Justin was far beneath him in terms of both looks and financial capabilities. He was merely an insignificant department manager in one of Michael’s many companies, so he didn’t even hold a candle to Michael.

“Anna, I know you’re only saying this because you’re angry at me. It’s okay. But do you know what kind of person Michael Shaw is? Do you know how many women he has? A man with his identity and status will never promise you forever. So wake up, won’t you?” Justin urged with feigned sincerity.

Conversely, his concerned expression amused me. With a derisive sneer on my face, I couldn’t help retorting coldly, “No matter what kind of person Michael is, he is still better than you. Even if he has countless women, I believe that he’ll never make a move against my best friend. He still has that much decency, unlike someone who’s really shameless to no end!”

There was an underlying meaning to my words. Naturally, Justin could tell that I was snubbing him and with such harsh words at that.

His expression stiffened, and rage burned within his eyes. Evidently, my words had thoroughly inflamed him.

“You’ve gone too far, Anna Garcia! Yes, I was at fault for having betrayed our relationship, but you don’t need to keep harping on that!”

Justin’s voice went up several decibels. There were only a few pedestrians since it was nighttime, so he wasn’t particularly worried about others overhearing our conversation.

“Since you’ve betrayed me, stop pestering me, then. Didn’t you tell me that you and Mabel love each other? So why are you still harassing me?”

Hah! I still remember vividly how he thanked me when I called off the wedding and set him free to be with Mabel. My heart was completely shattered then. It’s already incredibly kind of me to put things so tactfully right now. What right does he have to criticize me for harping on the issue when he didn’t experience the excruciating pain I felt back then?
