My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 251

"That's the ex-wife of Yohannes Granger, the chairman of Granger Group. The woman in a long skirt This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

next to her is Nerissa from the Roberts of Ucrebury. I heard that she was Yohannes's mistress for

several years and has only become his wife a few years ago."

"I see! No wonder the ex- wife was so rude. But why did Nerissa degrade herself to become a

mistress? She came from a good family, isn't she?"

"Who knows! Maybe because of true love?"

"Nerissa is almost twenty years younger than Yohannes. If it is true love, isn't it too... Elicit?"

The crowd wasn't afraid of letting Nerissa hear their discussions. And as expected, Nerissa's face went

pale. She glanced at Helen, and she began to leave without saying a word.

But Helen halted her. "Why so hurry to leave? Why don't you tell us the love story between you and Mr.

Yohannes? Everyone here is curious."

"Madam Miller, I know you don't mind sharing

about your private life, but it doesn't mean that others are the same," I said in a frigid tone. "You're the

one who couldn't keep him, and you've let him go. Please act accordingly."

"What do you mean?" Helen was triggered and raised her voice. "Who do you think you are to point

fingers at me?"

Nerissa stepped between Helen and me, hiding me behind her. She must be worried that Helen would

harm me. And she said, "She isn't pointing fingers at you. But if you wish others to do so, you can

speak even louder. By tomorrow, the Granger and you will be the headlines and a subject of gossip for

the people in the city."

"You-" Helen was so infuriated that her chest heaved up and down. She grabbed Irvin, "Irvin, see this!

Look at how this woman insulted me!"

I frowned. Helen had gone too far by now. I didn't know the ins and outs of the past between the three

of them, but what Helen had done in these few days was ignominious.

I took a look at Irvin and said, "Mr. Granger, you're smart. You wouldn't want to make a scene here,

right?"

Raising his eyebrows, Irvin stepped aside and simply said, "Please!"

It was definitely disgraceful to lock horns in public. Once our path was cleared, Nerissa immediately

took my hand and left the cafe.

However, the door of the cafe still wasn't wide enough for us to pass through. Helen was infuriated, and

she was reluctant to let us go just like this. Nerissa didn't bother to have a go at sorting things out with

her, and she went out of the cafe on her side.

Following Nerissa, I looked at Helen and couldn't help but feel sorry for her. She was divorced in her

middle-age. It was impossible for her to live happily for the rest of her life.

As I passed through her, out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Helen stuck her foot out. It all happened so

fast - before I knew it, I was already falling to the ground. Out of motherly instinct, I put my hands

around my belly to protect my baby.

Time seemed to slow down. I gasped, and my heart skipped a beat. If I couldn't save myself, falling

down like this would definitely harm the baby.

Thankfully, someone grabbed me by my arms before I hit the ground. Then, the person pulled me into

an embrace, putting his hand around my waist to steady me.

"Arianna! Oh my gosh! Are you okay?" Nerissa asked in a panic, rushing to hold me.

Breaking out in a cold sweat, I steadied myself and drew deep breaths of the cool air.

I turned to Nerissa and shook my head, "I'm all right."

Then, I noticed that the hand was still resting on my waist. It was Irvin's hand. I looked upwards at him

and sheepishly said, "Thank you."

Irvin nodded as acknowledgment and drew back his hand. With his brows furrowed, he replied to me in

a light voice, "You're welcome." Then, he turned to look at Helen and coldly said, "Mom, let's go."

Nerissa wasn't usually a relentless person. But at this time, she went forth to grab Helen's arm and

snapped, "Madam Miller, do you think you can get away without apologizing after tripping someone

up?"
