Secret Crush

Chapter 3 Query

People began voicing their similar opinions and needless to say, they were vicious.

"Leila is so pathetic. She's nothing compared to Daisy!"

"I agree! She's disgusting. Daisy's too kind. I bet she's the only one who can put up with her."

"That's true! Does Leila ever feel ashamed of herself? Even I feel ashamed of her!"

Leila heard every single comment, which made her original haggard face turned while and she suddenly felt her body shaking as if she was going to fall any minute now.

Something flashed in Veron's eyes—pity. He wriggled himself free of Daisy's hand, lowering his head as if he was about to say something. However, Johnson suddenly came out of nowhere and slapped Leila across the face, which Leila fell down onto the ground!

"You have no shame! Get out of here!"

Noticing that Veron had let go of her hand, Daisy felt displeased. Yet when Daisy saw Johnson slap Leila, she became joyful. While Daisy was able to quickly cover up how she really felt—so she still looked warm and lovely on the outside.

Leila seemed to be stimulated by the slap. As she stood up, she let out a slow chuckle. When she spoke, her voice was raised. "Shame? Shame? Me? Have no shame? Or are you just heartless? Mom's been in the hospital for three days. Have you ever visited her? No, you haven't! Instead, you're here holding an engagement ceremony! I bet you're glad that my mother's in the hospital."

"You!"

Johnson was so angry that he raised his hand as if he was about to slap Leila again. However, someone stopped him.

"Is this how Mr. Song treats his own daughter?"

Someone had caught Leila, whose body was in a precarious condition. She looked up in surprise to see who it was. 'Is it really him? !'

Exhausted, Leila was weak and fragile. She hadn't had proper sleep in days, so she fainted instantly in the man's arms.

Holding her tightly, Max stared back at the shocked Johnson. His eyes were gleaming. He said, "I'm the man with her in the hotel. Do you think I shame your daughter?"

Gathering himself, he hurriedly waved his hands and said
