Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 121

Krystal was radiating arrogance.

Tina tugged at Krystal's sleeve, but Krystal brushed her off dismissively, saying, "It wasn’t enough for her to seduce Mr. Harold at school. Now she’s flaunting herself at this event too. It’s disgusting!”

Mr. Harold, known for his fiery temper, was instantly enraged. "What the hell did you just say?!"

Krystal's face flickered with fear, but she quickly regained her composure and earnestly said, “Mr. Harold, I’m only looking out for you! Do you know that this woman tried to seduce Nichole’s boyfriend? She even chased him to school! How can you defend someone like her?”

Jenna laughed out of irritation, “Nichole’s boyfriend? Since when does she have a boyfriend?”

Krystal looked at her with disdain, “You’re no better, just like her, a sugar baby! You have no right to question me!”

“Damn it!”

Jenna, provoked by Krystal’s words, was about to retaliate physically, but Adler was quicker to curse, “Who the hell do you think you are talking to?”

Adler's loud voice caught the attention of Mr. and Mrs. Manning nearby.

Upon realizing their daughter was involved in the commotion, they hurried over along with Mr. and Mrs. Gerber.

“What’s going on here? What’s all this about?” Mr. Manning, adopting a patriarchal tone, clearly intended to protect his daughter.

“Dad, they’re bullying us!”

Krystal was always the apple of Mr. Manning’s eye. He surveyed the group critically before asking in a patronizing tone, “Who’s messing with my daughter?”

Adler responded bluntly, “It was me. What about it?”

Krystal whispered, “This is Harold Aldridge, the second son of the Aldridge family.”

The moment he realized he was facing the Aldridge family’s scion, Mr. Manning’s haughty demeanor vanished, replaced by an ingratiating smile. “Ah, so you're Mr. Aldridge. I thought there was something noble about you. But why are you mixing with these riffraffs? These young people clearly are up to no good. Don’t let them corrupt you.”

“It seems that my family, the Tredgolds, doesn’t carry as much weight as the Aldridges,” Adler remarked coldly.

Sophie had never seen such fury on Adler’s face before. It was likely because of Krystal’s insinuation about Jenna being a sugar baby.

Mr. Gerber couldn’t help but ask quietly, “What exactly happened here? How did you end up arguing with Mr. Adler?”

Before Tina could respond, Krystal said, “This sugar baby tried to steal our roommate’s boyfriend, and she even made our roommate faint from distress. We were just upset and said a few things!”

Harold angrily shouted, “That’s total bullshit! Say one more word, and I swear I’ll shut you up for good!”
