Chapter 113
After Anthony left Jeanette, she received a call from her friend, who invited her to
Pantheon Club as many rich men would be present today.
She didn't date Anthony because she loved him but because he could buy her all sorts of
gifts. However, she could tell he was not as rich as she had imagined from the incident at
the sales office today.
Moreover, she was even more dissatisfied with him because of the anger she had to
endure today.
Her plan tonight was to get something going with a rich man, and then she would dump
Anthony.
After she entered the private room, she locked her eyes on one of the men, so she went
over and sat down next to him while holding a wine glass. They exchanged a few words
before he started to lay his hands on her, to which she yielded after making a show of
resistance and leaned on him.
Unfortunately, the door was pushed open at this time, revealing a few aggressive women.
They dashed into the room, and one even pulled Jeanette to the ground by her hair.
Jeanette would not let the woman have her way without defending herself. So, after she
fought with the woman for a moment, she put her hands on her head and ran out of the
room.
Even then, the woman would not let Jeanette go easily and chased after her, even angrier
now because of Jeanette's counterattacks earlier and started to beat her up again.
"You shameless b*tch! You're such a wh*re! How dare you seduce my husband? I'm going
to kill you today!"
"I see you're interested in becoming someone's mistress at such a young age! You just
want a rich man so you can get everything you want without working hard for them, don't
you? Since that's the case, I'll make your wish come true today!"
While both hands were on her head, Jeanette screeched, "I'm not! I didn't! You got the
wrong person!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Oh my, look at you still denying it now! We saw it ourselves! You were basically clinging
to him! You even look just like a sl*t! How dare you deny it?"
Among the crowd, Jeanette shrieked, trying to explain herself.
She had a feeling that they came here today because one of them suspected that her
husband was having an affair. So, they must have planned this ahead of time, and she was
sure they got the wrong person because it was her first time meeting the man.
Anthony, who identified Jeanette's voice from afar, had an awful expression on his face.
At this time, Jeanette managed to use all her strength and pushed through the crowd,
dashing away once again.
After she ran a few steps, she saw Anthony, and her eyes lit up instantly. Then, like seeing
her life savior, she ran away and held his arm. "Honey, I'm so glad you're here! Help me
explain things to them."
As she said, she turned to look at the group of women, finally gathering her confidence
again. "See here! This is my boyfriend. I'm not a mistress!"
However, Jeanette did not realize that she was looking down at her heel right now. Her
hair was in a mess, her skin bloodstained, and her clothes torn, making her appear like a
madwoman.
Anthony felt embarrassed, but he could not lash out at her as Aidan and Benjamin were
still around.
The woman who led the group said again, "You have a boyfriend, yet you're here, seducing
someone else's husband. You really are a wh*re, aren't you?" Then, she turned to look at
Anthony. "Your girlfriend is going to date a rich man and dump you. Are you still going to
protect her?"
Jeanette said quickly, "Honey, don't listen to their nonsense. I'm here to have fun with my
friends tonight, but this group of crazy women attacked me suddenly. I don't even know
what they're talking about…"
At this moment, a man from the crowd stepped forward and probed, "Anthony? Is that
really you? I heard that you had an affair and broke up with Zoe some time ago, but I
didn't believe that since the both of you have been dating for many years. But, it seems
like that's the truth."
As he said, he looked at Jeanette, who was standing next to Anthony, in distaste. "But I
see that your standards have dropped. Why did you have an affair with such a woman?"
Between his boss and business partner who could determine his future and his ex-
classmate close to his private life, Anthony made his choice quickly and withdrew his arm
from Jeanette's grasp. "I don't know her."
In disbelief, Jeanette widened her eyes. "Anthony, what do you mean?"
He replied with a dark expression. "You're shameless enough to become someone else's
mistress, but what does that have anything to do with me? I am in a loving relationship
with my girlfriend, so I hope that you won't slander me this way."
A few mocking laughs sounded among the crowd, but no one knew if they were for
Anthony or Jeanette.
Someone said, "This is getting interesting. Her boyfriend said that he doesn't know her."
"I would do the same, too, because who would want to be embarrassed like this? Not only
did she cheat on him, but she is quite a gold digger too. She's indeed a wh*re."
"It looks like this isn't her first time being someone else's mistress. She probably seduced
this boyfriend of hers too, so I'd say it's karma that this happened to her today."
"There are so many things that she could do, but she chose to be a mistress and become
a homewrecker. Karma should've hit her long ago."
Before Jeanette could say anything, the club's security finally came over.
And that was the end of the commotion.
Once the crowd dispersed, Benjamin said apologetically, "President Pearson, it's my fault
for not teaching my subordinates properly. It's such a shame that you have to witness
that."
Anthony was not satisfied. "President Delgado, I…"
"Shut up! Don't you feel embarrassed enough? Just wait till we get back to the office!"
Aidan said calmly, "I would need to reconsider our collaboration if all United Corporation's
employees are like him."
With that said, he didn't hesitate to leave the establishment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBenjamin followed behind in a hurry. "President Pearson, I'm truly sorry about what
happened today. As for our collaboration, I…"
Their voices grew smaller as they walked further. Yet, Anthony did not follow behind, his
eyes dimming as he stood on the spot.
It's over.
It's over for me.
Once they exited Pantheon Club, Benjamin could only remain standing in his spot to wave
goodbye to Aidan, who got into his car. After Aidan left, he went back to rebuke Anthony.
Once they were in the car, Jonathan said, "President Pearson, it's all settled."
"Okay."
Two minutes later, Aidan's phone rang. It was from Oscar.
He picked up the call and heard Oscar say, "If you were a director, you would produce a
blockbuster movie."
Aidan didn't reply to his out-of-the-blue comment.
So, he loosened his necktie and said coldly, "Just get straight to the point."
"It's nothing. I just think it's a pity that your targeted audience did not witness this
spectacular show you put on tonight… Hey! Hey!"
Before Oscar could finish his words, Aidan had already ended the call.
He could not help but click his tongue, thinking to himself that it was only fair if Aidan's
good deeds were known.
Oscar was curious as to why Aidan would suddenly discuss a collaboration with United
Corporation. Hence, he looked into the matter and found out what had happened today.
Otherwise, he would have missed the show.
Aidan was actually a protective person. No matter how stubborn he was in not willing to
admit that he liked Leanna and how he would always mock her, he had always thought of
her as his wife.
…
He could criticize her, but if anyone else were to talk ill about her, they might not see the
next sunrise.
It was just like what happened today.
That shameless couple probably had no idea why such a thing had happened to them.
