Chapter 55
When I saw that it was Mandy, my expression immediately darkened, and without thinking, I turned to walk away.
But she quickly caught up and grabbed my arm. “I’m talking to you. Why are you running away!
I shrugged off her hand and said mockingly, “Can’t you tell? I don’t want to talk to you.”
She looked at me in disbelief, furrowing her brows. “Are you crazy? I didn’t do anything to you!”
Her words made me laugh in anger. “You’re the one who’s crazy!”
She rolled her eyes at me. “I’m not the third party between you and Gavin. He doesn’t like you. Didn’t you know that before you married him? What does it have to do with me? Don’t take your anger out on me.”
I was stunned by her shameless accusations. To think she dared to flip the blame–I was truly learning something new today.
“I don’t want to talk to you, so please move.
Mandy sneered. “Do you think I want to talk to you? If it weren’t for Gavin, I wouldn’t even bother.”
Seeing that she was going to keep pestering the, I turned to leave.
“Come back here!” She instinctively reached to grab my arm.
I reflexively tried to pull away, but her nails scratched my hand, leaving a trail of blood!
She was momentarily stunned, and then she nonchalantly said, “I didn’t do it on purpose. I just wanted to talk to you. Why are you being so aggressive?” “Fine! I’ll accidentally scratch you too!” I was so enraged that I immediately reached for her wrist.
“Ahh! Grace, are you crazy?
Before I could grab her, she screamed like a cat whose tail had been stopped on.
Just as I was about to grab her wrist, someone suddenly seized my arm. Then, a sharp voice rang out from above, “Grace, what are you doing?”
“Gavin, Grace went crazy! She actually tried to hurt me!” Mandy immediately complained as soon as she saw him.
But he didn’t even glance at her. Instead, he frowned and looked at me with a complicated expression. “Grace, if you’re angry, take it out on me. Don’t blame Mandy. It’s not her fault.”
Isnored. “Oh, now you care about her?”
“Grace…” Gavin frowned, about to say something, but then noticed the blood on my hand. “Your hand__”
I looked down in the direction of his gaze and saw that the wound from Mandy’s scratch was already bleeding, making it look quite serious,
He clearly understood what had happened. He quickly turned to her, glaring at her fiercely. “Did you scratch Grace?
Mandy, still not fully accepting responsibility, defended herself. “I didn’t do it on purpose! Grace was just moving around recklessly, and I accidentally scratched her…..”
“Apologize to Grace now!” His voice was sharp
She was incredulous. “Gavin, are you crazy? It’s such a small thing. Why are you making a big deal out of it? We’ve been good friends for decades! You’re really putting her over our friendship!”
I watched coldly as they argued. Though I wanted to scratch her back, I knew that with Gavin there, he wouldn’t let me harm her.
Meanwhile, the scratch on my hand started hurting, and I wondered if I needed a rabies shot.
Tired of the situation, I turned and walked toward the elevator.
“Grace”
He instinctively tried to follow me.
“Gavin, let me make this clear. I only came to find Grace to settle things with her. It’s fine that you don’t appreciate it, but now you’re blaming me?” Mandy’s voice rose in protest.
“Enough. Just stop talking”
“No way!”
The elevator doors closed, blocking out their bickering. I glanced down at the wound on my hand and sighed in frustration
Just then, my phone rang. It was a call from Tom.
Knowing that he had finished his conversation with Greg, I answered and asked where he was.
“I’m at the elevator on the seventh floor.”
