Chapter 62 Live in the Shadows
Sharon understood Maria's implication, and the blush on her face intensified.
"Maria, how can you say such things?"
Maria burst into laughter, and from the corner of her eye, she noticed Leah not far away. She let out a loud snort.
"Everyone can see how good Mr. Worthington is to you, unlike some people who have been abandoned but still cling to him and won't let go."
As Maria spoke, Leah studied her with a quirky expression.
It was just a simple glance, but Maria felt suffocated under its weight and couldn't utter another word.
Seeing that, Leah couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle.
"Speak up. Why aren't you continuing? I feel your voice isn't loud enough. Won't you say it loud enough so that everyone in the venue can hear you?"
Maria's expression darkened. Gritting her teeth, she said, "Leah, you resort to these tactics to annoy us because you can't have Quentin!"
"Are you sure I'm trying to annoy you, though? I'm pretty sure I hit a sore spot." Leah cast a disdainful glance toward Sharon. "No matter how much you love each other, you're still a mistress, aren't you?" Sharon's face turned pale for a moment, and tears welled up in her eyes. She looked pitiful and aggrieved, yet her voice carried a strong hint of aggression.
"Miss Wilson, I know you hold a grudge against me because I was the cause of your divorce with Quentin. But we have already been together since a long time ago. It's just that due to certain circumstances, we were separated for a while. So, our love is genuine. If we look at it like this, weren't you the one who interfered with our relationship?" "Pfft."
Leah couldn't help but huff a laugh before raising her head slightly. Her bright eyes held a sharp gaze that could see through all lies. "Even if he doesn't love me, I was once married to him. Do you have one? If not, you'll forever be bound to live in the shadows."
"Miss Wilson, you... you..." Sharon choked up suddenly, tears rolling in her eyes as she gazed at Quentin with much sorrow.
"Quentin, we truly love each other. Why is Miss Wilson saying such things? I'm really hurt."
Although Quentin didn't entirely approve of Sharon provoking Leah, he also thought that Leah had gone a bit too far with some of her words.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Moreover, he remembered that he used Sharon as an excuse to divorce Leah. Even if he didn't want to be involved in their feud, he had to continue with his act.
Thus, he looked at Leah with a hint of aloofness in his eyes.
"Leah, can you keep quiet for a moment?"
Leah responded with a sneer. "I have the right to speak, and I'll say whatever I want. What right do you have to control me? But if you really don't want me to continue speaking, then keep your companion in check. Don't let her keep pulling me into this. She was the one who provoked me, so don't play the victim
whenever I retort. I find it
disgusting."
Quentin was about to say something in retaliation but found he didn't know what to say.
Leah was just too sharp-tongued, to the point that even he couldn't handle her...
Leah gave him a sidelong glance.
"Shut up if you have nothing else to say. It's best for you not to disturb me until this auction is over. I don't want to argue with you to avoid wasting my breath."
"You..."
Quentin wore a frown. As he was about to say something, the hostess' voice could be heard.
"Next, we have our second item, a top-grade herb. I'm sure everyone is familiar with the miraculous effects of this herb, so I won't go into too much detail. Starting price, ten million dollars!"
