No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 120

This story is true. The person who used to call him that was long ago kicked out of his circle and even driven out of Seabreeze City by him. Conrad is incredibly petty. Luckily, he doesn't wield much power, or else anyone who crossed him wouldn't stand a chance.

In ancient times, he would have been the treacherous advisor whispering poison into the emperor's ear.

Haley's face darkened, clearly understanding that my words about Conrad were also a slight against her. She flushed with anger. "Felicia, how could you say such things about him? He was someone you once loved. Not bad-mouthing your ex is the least you could do out of decency. I can't believe you'd stoop so low."

Defending her man, huh?

"Decency?" I smirked. "That's only for those who deserve it. Ms. Perez here was caught up with her husband's brother while still married, and flirting with someone else's fiancé while pregnant with her late husband's child. Do you honestly think you deserve any decency from me?"

Haley's face turned from red to white in an instant. "What are you talking about?"

"Your own words, Ms. Perez. If anyone's spreading lies, it's you," I said, pausing to lock eyes with her. "You spilled it all at the diner, remember?"

Haley fell silent, deflated like a punctured balloon.

It took her a moment to gather herself, her voice quivering. "He came onto me, it wasn't my fault..."

"Really? It takes two to tango," I didn't let up for a second.

Haley was like a cockroach that just wouldn't die, so if I wanted her out of my life for good, I had to go for the jugular.

Tears streamed down her face. "He ruined me. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be in this mess. He owes me."

Her body was shaking, whether from genuine emotion or an act, I couldn't tell.

But her tears drew attention, and I wasn't worried. We were in a lobby, surrounded by security cameras. I hadn't laid a finger on her, so even if something happened, it wouldn't be on me.

But she wasn't, and she was making a fool of herself. So, I played along.

"Really? Just a few stitches? He's lucky I didn't go further," I cut her off.

"You..."

"Do you know why I did it? Because he tried to force himself on me in the office," I stared her down. "Maybe Ms. Perez, with your condition, isn't satisfying him?"

Haley turned ghostly pale, unable to utter another word.

Even so, I didn't hold back. "Now that you know why I hit him, maybe you should head back and think of a solution. After all, as a married woman with experience, it shouldn't be too hard, right?"
