Chapter 1392: Chapter 1492

My attempt to sneak off quietly was foiled.

Reluctantly, I turned to face her calmly.

“My business here is none of your concern.

”

Shirley’s irritation reached a peak.

Closing in on me, she bawled.

“None of my concern? How dare you charm Andrew and keep him from me!”

I frowned.

I was annoyed by her irrational behavior, so I retorted, “What he does or doesn’t do is not my doing.

I haven’t seen him around either these past days.

How could I charm him? Your accusations don’t make any sense.

”

Shirley’s anger boiled over, her face twisted in rage as she gripped her purse tightly, shouting,

“How dare you talk back, you filthy witch?”

With a scornful chuckle, I met her glare defiantly.

“You dish out insults like it’s your job, but the moment someone hits back, you can’t handle it? That’s just plain ridiculous.

Do you really think everyone should bow to your every whim?”

My words only seemed to stoke her fury.

As her hand shot up, ready to strike, I steeled myself.

I could handle insults, but I wouldn’t tolerate violence.

Quick as lightning, my right hand transformed into that of a werewolf’s, blocking her slap before pushing her away firmly.

“Miss Harrison!”

Shirley’s entourage was taken aback by the scene.

Her companions hurried to her side, offering support.

“You bitch!” Shirley went from shocked to furious.

She pushed away her helper and yelled at me.

“Who do you think you are, blocking me like that?”

I was totally confused by her outburst.

She appeared to be so used to being in control, with a strong belief in hierarchy, that she Likely assumed the whole world should cater to her.

It was mind-blowing for someone her age to be acting like this.

I couldn’t believe what she was saying.

I fired back, “Only a fool just stands there and takes it!”

“How dare you!” Shirley got even angrier, her face turning red and her teeth clenched.

“I just wanted to give you a little slap on the wrist, but now you’re really asking for it.

Fine, I’m going to teach you some manners!”

She turned and ordered her followers, “Get that woman.

Whoever catches her first gets a big bonus!”

“You got it!”

Enticed by the promise of a reward, the subordinates showed eager determination.

As the tension soared, the butler stepped in urgently and said, “Miss Harrison, ease up.

Debra’s here as Mr.

Pierce’s guest.

Making a scene’s going to put him in a tight spot.
