This really happened, but the guy who called him a “dumb husky” got kicked out of the circle by Jace ages ago. Jace didn’t stop there, either–he made sure that guy couldn’t even stay in Seavora. 

Jace was petty like that. Lucky for everyone, he didn’t have much real power or influence; otherwise, anyone who crossed him would be totally screwed. 

A guy like him would’ve been a sneaky, backstabbing minister in ancient times, whispering in a king’s ear. 

Tanya’s face got even more grim. She knew that by trash–talking Jace like this, I was indirectly insulting her too. 

Her face flushed with anger. “How can you talk about him like that? After all, he was a man you once loved. The least you could do after breaking up is not to slander him. I can’t believe you’re like this.” 

Defending Jace right now, huh? 

“Decency?” I gave her a faint smile. “That should be reserved for people who deserve it. You were making out with your husband’s close friend while you were still married, and then while you were carrying your late husband’s child, you were messing around with my fiancé. Do you think you deserve my decency?” 

Tanya’s face went from red to white in an instant. “Y–You’re making things up!” 

“You said it yourself. If it’s nonsense, then it was you who spoke nonsense,” I paused for a moment, locking eyes with her. “You said it that day in the restaurant.” 

Tanya suddenly fell silent, like someone had just pulled the plug on her. 

After what felt like forever, she seemed to pull herself together, her voice shaky. “It was him who came after me, not the other way around…” 

“Is that so? It takes two to tango,” I cut her off, not giving her a second to collect herself. 

Tanya was like a cockroach that just wouldn’t die, so if I wanted to squash her for good and keep her from messing with me again, I had to hit where it hurt. 

Tanya’s tears started flowing instantly. “He ruined me. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t be like this now. He owes me.” 

She was visibly upset, her whole body shaking. Whether it was real or just an act, I couldn’t tell. 

Because she was crying, people started to glance our way, but I wasn’t worried. We were in a lobby with surveillance cameras everywhere. I hadn’t touched her, so even if she threw herself on the floor, it wouldn’t be my problem. 

I watched as her tears fell one by one, thinking about what she said. Jace ruined her and owed her 

something? 

I remembered what Jace had told me before, about how her in–laws hated her after Desmond’s death, and how even though she was pregnant with Desmond’s child, they still didn’t accept her. Suddenly, something clicked in my mind. 

My chest tightened a little, and I asked, “What does Jace owe you?”

Chapter 115 

Tanya’s lips moved like she wanted to say something, but when she looked at me, she clammed up. 

Was this something she couldn’t talk about? 

The more she acted like this, the more curious I got. “Ms. Twain, why aren’t you saying anything? Is it that you can’t, or were you lying the whole time?” 

Tanya pressed her lips together. “This is my business. I came here to tell you that if you have any issues with me, take it out on me, but don’t drag others into it. 

I frowned a little, thinking about how I’d smashed Jace’s head. 

So, she came here to defend Jace? 

“You’re talking about how I bashed Jace’s head in, right?” I asked, cutting straight to the point. 

“He’s seriously injured now. The back of his head needed over a dozen stitches. You two were once in love; how could you be so cruel and hit him so hard?” Tanya’s tone was all accusing, like she was already Jace’s wife or something. 

But she wasn’t, and since she was only making herself look ridiculous, I decided to let her. 

“Oh? Only a dozen stitches? I was actually going easy on him by not bashing his brains out,” I replied, watching as Tanya’s jaw dropped. 

“You…” 

“Do you know why I hit him? Because he tried to force himself on me in the office,” I said, my gaze locked on Tanya. “Maybe you’re not satisfying him because you’re pregnant?” 

Tanya’s face went pale, and she couldn’t say a word. 

Even so, I didn’t let up. “Now that you know why I hit him, you should go back and figure out a solution. After all, you’re a married woman with experience. It shouldn’t be too hard, right?”
