A LIFETIME WITH YOU

CHAPTER 3 Strip Her

Gary sneered, "This outfit must have cost tens of thousands of dollars, right? You used to only wear clothes that cost less than a hundred dollars. How come...? Ah, so, because I found someone rich, do you also want to marry a rich man? Have you looked in the mirror to see your looks and your family background? Which rich man would be interested in you?"

Rose looked down at the clothes she was wearing. She had worn them in the morning on Brandon's request, but at the time she felt they were too expensive to wear. However, when she was changing her clothes, she found out that her clothes had been stained the night before and couldn't be worn, so she ended up wearing the clothes Brandon bought for her.

But she didn't expect Gary to say such things to her.

Biting her lip, Rose's eyes were filled with tears, "How can you say that to me?"

In the past, she only wore clothes that were less than a hundred dollars for whom? Wasn't it for him to live better? She had been hard on herself, but he still looked down on her.

"Did I say something wrong?" Gary sneered, "Did you not find other men after I left you?"

"I..." Rose was speechless.

She didn't find other men, but accidentally had s*x with another man.

"I didn't expect you to be such a slut."

Gary's cold and merciless words deeply hurt her heart. She couldn't help but yell at him, "Who gave you the right to say that to me? You're going to marry someone else, it's my freedom to do what I want. Didn't you abandon me because of money? So what right do you have to call me a slut?"

Gary coldly laughed, "I just want you to be clear about your identity. You don't have the qualifications to be here at this high-end wedding. With your looks, you can probably only attract a forty-year-old man who has lost his teeth, right? What's the matter? Did he buy you this expensive dress but he's too afraid to come with you? Or is he already married and attending the wedding with his wife?"

Staggering, Rose took two steps back in disbelief, staring at the man she had loved for years in front of her. She couldn't believe that the gentle and considerate man who had been by her side would turn into such a sarcastic and bitter person.

Tears couldn't help but fall from her eyes as she grabbed Gary's clothes, hysterically questioning him, "What did I do wrong? Why are you treating me like this? We've been together for three years, and I've done everything I could for you. I've given you everything good that I could. Gary, I'm not a fool. I did all this for you because I wanted to marry you. But what have you done? What are you doing?

Do you only feel happy if you slander and insult me? What about your humanity...?"

Rose's roar disturbed the people nearby. Not too far away, Christina's expression changed, and she quickly walked over and slapped Rose in the face.

Rose covered her face with tears still on it. Before she could react, she heard Christina's angry voice: "You b***h, did I not warn you to sit quietly? What are you doing? Acting like a victim?"

After saying that, she turned to Gary and asked, "And you, what are you doing? Can't let her go?"

Upon hearing this, Gary immediately put on a fawning smile and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I not let her go? It's her who insisted on clinging to me and causing a scene. You know that I only have you in my heart."

Rose looked in shock at this man who changed his face as quickly as the weather, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

She thought she was dreaming, and it was a terrible dream. The Gary she knew wasn't like this. Why did he become like this overnight?

While she was in a daze, Christina gave Gary a cold stare and said expressionlessly, "It's best this way."

Then she looked at Rose and said, "I think you're deliberately here to cause trouble. It's my wedding day today, and I don't want to argue with you. Get out of here quickly."

As soon as she finished speaking, Sophia suddenly rushed over and slapped Rose on the other side of her face, saying, "It's too easy to let her go just like this. Christina, today is your wedding day, and this woman dares to come and cause trouble. Who knows if she'll come to ruin it again in the future."

"Teach her a lesson, otherwise she won't know how powerful you are."

Christina felt that what Sophia said made sense and asked, "How can I show her my power?"

"She likes to steal the limelight, right? Just strip off her clothes and kick her out. Let her suffer enough embarrassment so she won't dare to cause trouble again."

Christina frowned, "This isn't a good idea. After all, she's still my subordinate."

Sophia rolled her eyes and said helplessly, "You're silly. If that's the case, why don't you just fire her? Do you want to keep her around to cause more trouble for you?"

Glancing at Gary beside her, she leaned in to whisper in Christina's ear, "She dated Gary for three years. If she comes to look for him again someday, he might be soft-hearted. If you deal with her now, it will not only stop her from causing any trouble but also show Gary that he should be loyal to you and not think of other women."

Christina lowered her head in thought. She felt that Sophia was right.

She was the one who took an interest in Gary and made him give up on Rose. As the daughter of the Jones family, she was the subject of media attention. If Gary still had feelings for Rose and went on a date with her behind her back, it would be a huge blow to her reputation.

With that in mind, she beckoned a few security guards over and said, "Strip her and throw her out of the hotel."

The security guards were stunned and didn't react at first. It wasn't appropriate for them, as men, to strip a woman's clothes off.

Seeing them hesitate, Sophia angrily shouted, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and do it!"

The security guards had no choice but to move forward and hold Rose down, preparing to strip her clothes off.

Rose realized what was about to happen and her face changed, as she quickly backed away, "Let go of me! This is illegal. I'll sue you all."

Christina sneered, "Sue us? You caused trouble at my wedding, and it was only natural for me to teach you a lesson. Even if you report it, who would care? Who would dare to oppose the Jones family?"

Rose struggled hard and said, "Aren't you afraid that the media will condemn you for doing this?"

Sophia sneered at her words, "The media would also condemn you, wouldn't they? You publicly seduced Christina's fiancé. She's protecting her own rights."

Seeing that they were determined to strip her clothes off, Rose had no choice but to struggle hard to break free from the bodyguards holding her. Fortunately, she was thin and the security guards couldn't reach her clothes during the struggle, so she was still safe for the time being.

But she had to think of a way. Otherwise, if someone stripped her clothes off, she wouldn't be able to show her face again.

During the struggle, her phone fell out. At this moment, her phone rang, and Rose was overjoyed. Whoever it was, calling at this time was her savior. She quickly kicked the bodyguard holding her and crawled over to grab the phone. However, Sophia picked up the phone before she could.

When Sophia saw the caller's name on Rose's phone, her face changed, she grabbed her hair and lifted her up as she asked harshly, "Why do you have Brandon's phone number?"

Brandon? Rose was stunned for a moment and suddenly remembered that he was the CEO of Jones Enterprise and he had left his number on her phone that morning.

Ignoring Sophia's question, Rose tried to get her phone back but Sophia refused to give it to her.

She asked her again, "Answer me, why do you have his number, did you seduce him?"

"Give me back my phone." Rose didn't want to answer her question, she just wanted to answer the phone to find someone to save her or call the police.

This action infuriated Sophia who slapped her across the face and angrily said, "You slut, causing trouble at Christina's wedding wasn't enough, you even dared to seduce Brandon. What gives you the right to keep his phone number?"

Sophia hung up on Brandon's call, deleted his number from Rose's phone, and added him to the blacklist, warning Rose, "If you dare to get close to Brandon, I will kill you."

Then she ordered the security guards, "Beat her up, don't stop until she learns her lesson."

Rose was instantly kicked to the ground by a security guard. Several security guards then beat her up with punches and kicks. She felt pain all over her body but couldn't even beg for mercy. She could only struggle to protect her head.

Right at that moment, a man in his thirties wearing a suit walked into the hotel lobby. He saw the scene before him and his expression changed. He quickly walked over to Rose and shouted at the guards, "Stop it."
