Chapter 727 Mr. Cruz Didn’t Hurt You, Right?

Eilis felt a bit embarrassed. Since it was her fault, she forgave Charlene for her rude

comments and smiled. “I’m very sorry about that, girl. You were standing behind me,

so I didn’t see you.”

‘You didn’t see me? Are you saying that I purposely walked into your elbow myself and

allowed you to hit me? How is there any possibility that you didn’t see me?” Charlene

pressed on. She pointed at a shopkeeper and said, “Hurry up and get this old thing

out of this salon! Can’t you smell her body odor? I’m sure that her house must be a

garbage dump. I can’t believe that you guys are willing to serve her. Are you not

worried that she might spread the virus and bacteria on her body to others?”

Eilis’s face turned pale when she heard Charlene’s harsh comment about her.

She had made the clothes on her body all by herself. Even though they were a bit

worn out, she would take them off and wash them when they got dirty, so there were

no stains on her clothes at all.

“What are you still waiting for?” Charlene sneered coldly. “Hurry up and get out of

here.”

Before Eilis could say anything, a calm female voice rang out from a few feet away

from them. ‘There are even bacteria in the air, let alone on human bodies. Miss

McKinney, if you feel that a place full of bacteria is no place for you, I suggest you go

to a volcano. After all, no bacteria can survive in such a hot place.”

Charlene was stunned when she heard the voice. She raised her head, and when she

saw Deirdre, a scornful smile appeared on her face. “How have you been. Miss

McKinnon?”

Tobey frowned. “Deirdre, do you know her?”

“Of course I know her. Not only that, but we’re also old friends.” Charlene chuckled.

“Why didn’t you tell me that she’s your friend, Miss McKinnon? If you’d told me earlier,

I would certainly not have gotten angry at her. After all, birds of a feather flock

together. It’s normal for this older woman to do such things if she’s your friend.”

Anyone with ears would be able to discern what Charlene was implying. Tobey could

not stand her anymore, but just when he took a step forward, Deirdre stopped him and

said calmly, “I admire you for having the courage to remain unfazed by people like us.

Even though you came out of jail, you can still hold your head high and act as if you’re

above everyone else. Oh yeah, I heard that they only serve cold bread and soup in

that kind of place. Is that right? In that case, you must’ve suffered a lot.”

Without waiting for Charlene to say anything, Deirdre added, “Ah, I get it now. No

wonder you’re going on a revenge spending spree and demeaning someone you don’t

know to make yourself look better.”

Charlene’s expression changed. She could sense that everyone was looking at her

differently.

The last thing she wanted other people to know was that she had gone to jail before.

However, Deirdre had to go as far as to expose this in front of everyone.

She clenched her fists so tightly that her fingers stabbed into her palm. She gritted her

teeth and said, “At least it’s more comfortable than staying in jail!”

Deirdre chuckled lightly. “Miss McKinney, it isn’t something that you should be proud

of, so you better keep it to yourself. After all, you want to join people in polite

company, don’t you?”

Charlene calmed herself down and stared daggers at Deirdre. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

She did not know when it happened, but the moment she realized it, she hated

Deirdre to the bone. If it weren’t for her superior luck, she wouldn’t have arrived at the

fire first and saved Brendan. She hated her for her looks, her temperament, and her

calm composure. It seemed to her that Deirdre was better than her in every possible

way.

Even now, even after she had fallen from grace, she still had a sharp tongue.

However, she thought of something and a smile crossed her face. ‘Yeah, you’re right. I

don’t like to compare myself with other people since I’ve always been perfect in

Brendan’s eyes. He loves me so much that he’s willing to…”

She paused midway through her sentence and said with a smile on her lips, “Mr. Cruz

didn’t hurt you, right?”

For a moment, Deirdre’s pupils constricted. She was overwhelmed by a torrent of

mixed emotions. She bit her lip tightly as she was assaulted by wave after wave of

pain.

The boisterous laugh of the man, the way he had treated her like an object and a

bargaining chip… Everything that had happened that night made her feel so sick that

she refused to recall it.
