Chasing the Unexpected

Valarie sneered. I didn’t name anyone specifically. Why are you so quick to take offense? Have you been a mistress for so long that you’re feeling quilty?

“You!” Jordyn was about to retort, but Clark held her back

“Enough. The auction is about to start. Let’s go in,” he said.

If Jordyn and Valarie started arguing at the entrance, it would only reflect poorly on him.

Jordyn shook off his hand, fuming. “Clark, I’m your wife, but you always defend others. Are you still thinking about that tramp, Nyla?”

The moment the words left her mouth, Valarie slapped her.

The sharp sound of the slap echoed, leaving a red handprint on Jordyn’s face.

“How dare you hit me?!” Jordyn hissed, raising her hand to strike Valarie, but the latter grabbed her wrist and slapped her again on the other side of her face.

Valarie smirked, “That’s better. If you keep running your mouth about tramps, I won’t let you off the hook!”

Jordyn, furious, tried to fight back, but Valarie pushed her into Clark’s arms, “Clark, keep your rabid bitch in check,” she warned. W want to deal with her, I have plenty of ways to do

“If you dare touch me again, I won’t let you off easily?” Jordyn’s face twisted with anger.

“What do I have to be afraid of? Do you think just because yove with Clark, you can run fangs in a dala Bass

Women like Jordyn, who climbed the social ladder

mistresses, never fit into their circles. Besides, if Clark had any….ention of integrating her, he’d have brought her to more formal events.

Jordyn’s face turned an unhealthy shade of red, looking as though she might explode with rage.

Clark’s expression hardened as he looked at Valarie. “Valarie, don’t think you can bully us just because you’re from the Weirs. Our

problems are none of your concern

“You’re mistaken. I have no interest in the two of you,” Valarie replied coolly, “But if she can’t control her mouth, I’ll have to step in and

teach her that it’s not just for spewing nonsense.”

Clark’s eyes flashed with anger, but he said nothing further and pulled Jordyn away.

Jordyn’s hateful gaze swept over Nyla, cold and venomous, like a snake ready to strike,

After entering the venue, Clark pulled Jordyn aside and whispered, ” There are some prominent figures from high society here tonight. Stay close to me, and don’t embarrass me. If you do, I won’t bring you again.”

Jordyn had pleaded with Clark for days before he finally agreed to bring her to the auction.

Suppressing her anger and frustration, she forced a smile. “Don’t worry, I won’t embarrass you.” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

As she lowered her gaze, a cruel glint flashed in her eyes.

She hadn’t originally planned to use the child in her womb to get back at Nyla so soon, but Valarie’s words had enraged her. Now, she

was determined to make Valarie and Nyla pay for it

Valarie and Nyle found their seats in the venue,

Once seated, Valarie pointed discreetly to the front row and whispered, ‘Isn’t that Damon and Rebecca?!

Nyla glanced over and saw Damon speaking with Rebecca. The dim lighting blurred his features, but it seemed as if he was smiling

As Nyls looked his way, Damon appeared to sense it and turned his head. Their eyes met.
