Pursuing Her

Yvette was intimidated by Sophie's confidence and began to feel afraid.

Juan's company was the most important thing to him, and if something were to happen to it because of Yvette, he would never forgive her.

At that moment, Ysabelle came out of her room and saw her aunt being bullied. Her anger immediately flared up and she rushed over.

“Aunt Sarah, are you okay?” How dare this Yvette bully someone from the Lombard family? Who does she think she is?

“I'm fine,” Sarah reassured everyone, touched by their concern.

“Yvette, how dare you bully my aunt!” Ysabelle shouted, rolling up her sleeves. “Do you think the Lombard family is a pushover?”

Yvette was even more worried when she saw Ysabelle joining in.

“Ysabelle, what do you mean? Just because you're from the Lombard family, do you think you can steal someone else's fiancé? Did I do something wrong? Just because my family background isn't as good as yours, do I deserve to be treated unfairly?”

Yvette began to play the victim.

This is Jetroina, so what can they do to me?

“That's right! You can't bully someone like this, no matter how powerful you are!” some of the bystanders agreed.

“You're all women. Women should not do such shameful things,” others chimed in.

“You people...” They know nothing! What right do they have to even say anything?

Seeing the situation was turning in her favor, Yvette became even more pleased with herself.

“Ms. Lombard, I know your family is powerful, but I just hope you won't try to seduce my fiancé. Is that too much to ask? I know you're very capable, but that has nothing to do with me. I just want to live a happy life with my fiancé,” she said pitifully.

“What the hell, Yvette! What are you talking about? You just want to piss us off, don't you? Let's be real, your fiancé isn't that great. Only you treat him like he's some kind of prince. No one else cares about him the way you do.”

Ysabelle was really furious by now.

Isn't Juan's betrayal already enough to hurt someone as amazing as Aunt Sarah? And now she's getting insulted in public!

“Huh, really? If you're all so unimpressed by my fiancé, why don't you ask your aunt if she really doesn't like him?” Yvette's smirk was dripping with sarcasm.

“You!” Ysabelle was genuinely outraged. She knew her aunt had been hurt because of her love for that scumbag Juan.

Yvette couldn't help but feel even more smug.

“Even she can't deny her feelings for him. Who are you to come here and spout nonsense?”

Yvette had a sharp tongue.

Besides, she was now convinced that Sarah still had feelings for Juan, and that gave her the confidence to make such remarks.

“Yvette, are you done? The relationship between me and Juan is purely platonic. There's never been anything between us in the past, and there won't be anything in the future,” Sarah fired back. “If you keep making baseless accusations, I'll sue you for defamation.”

After remaining silent for so long, she finally spoke up.

Did Yvette think Sarah was an easy target? She was the heiress of the Lombard family, after all.

The members of the Lombard family would never let themselves get bullied like that.

Besides, she was not just representing herself right now but the Lombard family.

“Sarah, let's not waste our time with her. Let's go inside,” Sophie suggested, knowing that Sarah was upset and didn't want her to deal with this any longer.

She would handle this for Sarah.

“Huh, what's the matter? Is what I said not true? It's because I spoke the truth that you have nothing to say! The Lombard family members are all shameless!” Yvette sneered fearlessly.

Ysabelle couldn't control herself any longer and slapped Yvette across the face.

Yvette, being a celebrity, had never experienced such humiliation before and immediately fought back.

“Belle, come here!” Sarah was worried that Ysabelle would get hurt and wanted to help.

“Ha, you two are ganging up on me. Everyone can see that. How could you do that?” Yvette cried. She had scratch marks on her face from Ysabelle's sharp nails.

The onlookers did nothing and simply watched from the side.

Sarah grabbed Yvette's hand to prevent her from attacking Ysabelle any further.

“Yvette, I warned you, didn't I? Don't mess with anyone from the Lombard family. Why can't you understand? I've tolerated you for a long time,” Sarah said, shoving her.

At that moment, Juan came back. He didn't expect to see such a scene at all.

Seeing Yvette sitting on the ground, his eyes darkened.

He had only been gone for half an hour; how could so much have happened?

Yvette saw him come back and tears immediately welled up in her eyes.

“Juan, look at them! They're bullying me. I didn't do anything, but they bullied me. You have to stand up for me.”

Yvette's tears were streaming down her face.

It was as if she was greatly wronged.
