“You claim to be mere friends with her when you're defending her thus, Ronan? Are you such a
staunch defender of hers because she slept with you?”
When Emma saw that even Ronan was shielding me, the rage within her grew into a conflagration. She
spoke icily while staring at his face.
Good Lord! She's still defaming me at this time, huh? Towering rage likewise mounted within me. Ugh!
My slap across her face earlier was just too paltry! A woman like her really needs to be taught a lesson!
“Watch your words, Emma! I've been tolerating you from the very beginning, but you've truly crossed
the line now!”
I was so incandescent that I trembled all over. Looking at her coldly, I tried to suppress all my wrath.
I knew that she was only deliberately slandering me because she was jealous that I was now with
Michael. Nonetheless, the anger within me continued spiraling.
“I've crossed the line? Judging from your expression now, you must be feeling guilty, huh? Anna, who
do you think will believe you when you claim that you've never slept with Ronan when the two of you
are so close?”
Emma could distinctly perceive the storm brewing in my eyes, yet she wasn't the least bit bothered.
Instead, her gaze turned a touch triumphant as she scrutinized me, looking as though she had dirt on
me.
“Emma, there's a limit to my patience! Therefore, it's best that you do not provoke me!”
My hands that were hanging by my sides were balled into fists, and I was currently putting all my effort
into curbing my wrath. Argh! How I wish I could slap her several more times now! How could there be
such a woman in this world?
“So what if just want to provoke you? How can you compare to me other than by relying on Michael
and Ronan? Anna, I truly wonder what tricks a b*tch like you has up your sleeve that you actually
managed to bewitch two men!”
While uttering the last sentence, Emma's eyes were filled with envy.
Well, well... She truly doesn't care about her image anymore after having lost Michael. In the past, she
would feign gentleness and graciousness in front of others, but now, she doesn't even bother putting on
the most basic facade!
Keeping a lid on the bubbling outrage within me, I was just about to retort when Ronan roared, “That's
enough!”
His handsome countenance was terrifyingly grim. It was my first time seeing him in such an inflamed
state. Although he had always given me the impression of an easygoing man with no temper, I still
couldn't help shuddering at his infuriated expression right then. After all, his frigid expression was just
too similar to Michael's.
Emma, who was going to insult me further, was stunned for a moment upon hearing his bellow. But
when she realized what was happening, she flipped her lid once more.
“You're going to protect this b*tch as well now, Ronan? Don't forget that she's presently Michael's
woman! Don't you see red and feel resentful when you imagine her seeking pleasure beneath him
every night? Yet, you're still defending her here? Don't you feel as though you're a fool?”
Her voice was indifferent as she stared at his face, and every single word out of her mouth was clearly
meant to sow discord between Ronan and me.
My heart sank, and outrage enveloped me. As I stared at her, hatred surged within me.
Ronan hadn't completely accepted the fact that I had gotten together with Michael, so her words at that
moment were undoubtedly rubbing salt into his wound.
I turned my gaze on the man, only to see that his expression had indeed turned glacial. His face was
scarily grim even as a glimmer of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes.
Mild-tempered people were all the scarier when they flew into a rage, and Ronan was precisely that
kind of person. I've always thought that Michael is the most terrifying person I've ever seen in my life
when he loses his cool, but from the look of things now, Ronan is no less intimidating.
Similarly, Emma's gaze flickered when she saw Ronan's riled expression. Nonetheless, she swiftly
masked her emotions. She then turned smug instead upon seeing that he had already gotten vexed
because of her words. As such, she was sure that he wouldn't be siding with me anymore.
“Ronan, a man like you can have any woman you like. Why must you pine for a b*tch like her? A
woman like her has been defiled by tons of men, so she's probably all loose down there.”
She sounded increasingly triumphant as she spoke, and her eyes brimmed with provocation. Perhaps
she now believed that her persuasion had worked its magic, and Ronan would no longer stand up for
me.
Hearing such a shameful comment from her, I went off the deep end. I lifted my hand to slap her again
since she needed to be taught some manners.
However, before my hand could land on her face, a slap sounded, and Ronan struck her across the
face.
He glowered at her with fury etched on his face. At that moment, he resembled a predator lying in wait,
making one's blood run cold.
Emma's hand flew to her face as she gaped at him incredulously. She probably never expected him to
get physical and hit her.
Her eyes were as wide as saucers, and it was a long while before she finally snapped back to her
senses.
Glaring at him, she immediately shrieked, “How dare you hit me, Ronan Moore? Do you know who I
am? Yet, you had the guts to hit me?”
She had been living a pampered life since young, so she was naturally a stranger to such grievance. In
fact, likely no one had ever dared to hit her in all her years. But today, two people had slapped her
across the face. Hence, she definitely couldn't tolerate such an insult.
“Listen here carefully, Emma. Anna isn't someone you can simply disparage. And now, I've finally
understood why my cousin didn't want you. No man will like a shrew like you!”
Ronan looked down at her condescendingly, his gaze so cold that not a trace of emotion could be
discerned. After declaring that frostily, he no longer spared her a single glance but took my hand and
strode away.
“Just you wait, Anna! I'll never let you off the hook!”
Emma's livid voice again rang out from behind me. Not only am I aware that she's bursting with hostility
toward me right now, but she certainly won't give up easily either. Thus, I've got to be careful in the
future. Otherwise, no one knows what she'll do.
Ronan dragged me out of the restaurant without saying a single word throughout it all. Besides, his
striking face remained as dark as ever.
After getting into his car, I could sense that the atmosphere was particularly oppressive. Despite his
lack of reaction earlier, I knew that Emma's words had already affected him inwardly.
He had feelings for me, so he instinctively regarded me as his woman. As such, he was naturally upset
to hear about me being intimate with Michael since men were inherently possessive.
