After He Protected His Mistress, I Found a Lover

Chapter 2

Selena found the whole situation utterly absurd.

She was actually being targeted by Julian's mistress, who was accusing her of being the mistress?!

Selena's gaze turned ice-cold. Wasting no words on them, she pulled out her phone and called security. "Hello, security? Someone has broken into my house. Send guards over immediately."

The moment she finished speaking, Gabriella, who was facing her, suddenly snapped and snatched her phone, "You b***h, how dare you call security!"

With that, she slammed the phone hard onto the floor.

Crack!

The phone hit the ground, its screen shattering completely.

Gabriella lifted her chin, looking absolutely livid. "You shameless homewrecker! I don't know what tricks you used to seduce Julian, but today, I'm going to show everyone what happens to side chicks!"

Selena warned coldly, "If you lay a finger on me today, I will make you regret it."

Gabriella laughed mockingly, full of confidence. "How are you going to make me regret it? You'd have to rely on Julian anyway, but Julian loves me. He won't blame me."

Those words, however, struck Selena as incredibly bizarre.

Would someone who truly believed they were the official girlfriend talk like that? Did Gabriella genuinely not know her actual status?

The other girls swarmed forward, grabbing Selena to drag her outside.

Mrs. Hudson blocked them, shielding Selena. "What do you think you're doing? This is Mrs. Vance!"

Before she could finish, she was shoved aside roughly. "Get out of the way, you old hag!"

Mrs. Hudson tumbled to the floor.

Now, Selena was truly furious.

She rushed over to help Mrs. Hudson up, glaring at the mob. "This is the Vance residence, and I am the legal Mrs. Vance. The news of my marriage to Julian is still online for you to search!

"Get out of my house right now, or I'm calling the police!"

Instead of being intimidated, the girls burst into laughter.

They mocked her with smug arrogance.

"Who are you trying to scare? Our Gabriella is the future First Lady of Julian Enterprises."

"Of all things to be, you chose to be a homewrecking mistress! Side chicks never have happy endings!"

Gabriella sneered arrogantly, "Hmph, Julian has never been married. He would never lie to me! Go, girls! Teach her a lesson!"

At her command, the girls behind Gabriella surged forward, grabbing Selena and violently dragging her out of the villa.

Standing over her, Gabriella ordered, "Strip her clothes off!"

Instantly, Selena felt countless hands tearing at her clothes.

Gabriella shouted to the surrounding area, "Come look, everyone! A homewrecker lives in your neighborhood! She's a disgrace to this place!"

The neighbors began to gather around.

Selena curled up on the ground, shielding her face as blows and kicks rained down on her repeatedly.

Insults and curses echoed in her ears.

"You tramp, using your looks to steal someone else's man! Are you that desperate?"

"Everyone watch out for your husbands! Don't let a woman like this get close to them!"

Suddenly, the roar of an engine broke through the noise.

A Rolls-Royce pulled up right beside them.

The crowd immediately froze.

Recognizing the familiar car, Gabriella's eyes lit up, and she ran over. "Julian!"

Julian stepped out of the car. When he saw the disheveled, battered woman on the ground, his face instantly darkened.

Gabriella clung tightly to his arm, saying triumphantly, "Julian, I was teaching that shameless woman a lesson for trying to seduce you. She actually claimed to be Mrs. Vance! How is that possible? If you were married, you would have told me."

Julian pushed her hand away and reached down to help Selena up.

Gabriella stared at Julian in absolute shock and heartbreak. "Julian, why are you helping her?"

Selena clenched her fists, fighting to hold onto her dignity. With tearful eyes, she looked at Julian and asked, "Julian, do you have anything to say to me?"

Julian's deep eyes scanned Selena. He had never seen her look so broken and disheveled.

A flash of complex emotion crossed his eyes, and he opened his mouth to speak.

But then, Gabriella's shocked, aggrieved voice cut him off. "Julian, you're actually married?! You lied to me."

Julian glanced at her, paused for half a second, and then said to Selena, "Go to the hospital. She will apologize to you."

Those words struck Selena like a bolt of lightning, freezing her in place.

Pulling her hand from his grasp, her eyes welled with uncontrollable tears as she looked at him in disbelief. "You're taking her side?"

Julian frowned and looked at her. "Why make a big deal out of a young girl? You're a whole seven years older than her."
