When the Contract Marriage Ended, He Stayed

Chapter 91: A Fight Breaks Out

Chloe Lee, sitting next to them, saw them but continued speaking anyway. "So what if Hazel Hawthorne married Aiden Xavier? What does that make her? She’s just the young lady of a down-and-out family. Besides, what does the Hawthorne Family even amount to in Kenport? Can they compare to the Sterling Family?"

"What’s so great about marrying Aiden Xavier? She still has to put up with him fooling around outside. I heard he and Raina Lowell are still together. I bet Hazel Hawthorne and Aiden Xavier will be getting a divorce soon."

"I think so too. I’ve heard about Aiden Xavier and Raina Lowell before. Now that Raina is back, what is Hazel Hawthorne even supposed to be? Aiden probably wanted to divorce her ages ago. It must be Hazel who’s refusing, clinging for dear life."

"Who would be willing to let go of a meal ticket like Aiden Xavier?"

Nathan Miller held Hazel Hawthorne back again. "Don’t get into it with them. They’re just trying to suck up to Chloe Lee. You know how she throws her weight around the company. A lot of people in our department have to walk on eggshells around her."

Hazel Hawthorne had never felt so aggrieved. Nathan Miller also never expected that he would still fail to hold her back. Hazel shoved his hand away, stood up, walked directly to the next table, and dumped the rest of the food from her bowl into Chloe Lee’s.

Chloe Lee shot up in anger and tried to grab Hazel Hawthorne’s hair, but Hazel grabbed hers instead. With a sharp pull backward, Chloe winced in pain and yelled at the others, "What are you all standing around for?"

At her words, the other women instantly went for Hazel Hawthorne. It was Hazel against four of them. Nathan Miller and Aaron Shaw rushed forward to intervene but got slapped a couple of times for their trouble. A crowd of onlookers had formed a circle, but no one stepped in to help.

Fortunately, with Nathan Miller and Aaron Shaw stepping in, while Hazel Hawthorne didn’t come out ahead, Chloe Lee and her three cronies didn’t get off easy either. Chloe, in particular, had several scratches on her face from Hazel, but the women next to her didn’t dare say a word.

They only stopped when a cold, sharp voice suddenly rang out.

Even so, the moment Chloe Lee stopped, Hazel Hawthorne seized the opportunity to land a quick slap across her face, catching Chloe completely off guard.

The crowd quickly parted, clearing a path.

Julian Sterling’s expression was dark. Chloe Lee glanced at him, not daring to even breathe, because standing next to Julian was an even more formidable figure—Aiden Xavier.
