609 Words
"It doesn't matter."
Clarence said coldly and then waved to the waiter to let him clean up the mess on the ground.
Sensing Melissa's gaze, Britney curled her lips into a sneer. She had thought that Melissa would be different after returning from abroad, but now it seemed that Melissa was as stupid and childish as before.
Britney overestimated her.
After the farce ended, everyone chatted with each other. Britney intimately held Maloney's arm and went to the dessert area. When she passed by Clarence and Melissa, Britney did not even give them a glance, as if she did not see the two of them.
Clarence watched Britney pass by him without any intention of explaining. The veins on his forehead bulged, and his face darkened.
Sensing Clarence's strange emotions, Melissa was very upset. She looked at Britney with vicious eyes.
The banquet was held as planned. Someone recognized Maloney and hurriedly went forward to greet him. They talked about business.
Britney felt vexed. After talking to Maloney, she found a quiet place to drink alone.
Melissa, who was talking to the socialites, had been secretly observing Britney. Seeing Britney standing alone, Melissa chatted with the socialites for a while before walking toward Britney.
Britney naturally noticed what Melissa was doing, but she pretended not to see it. Britney wanted to see what Melissa could do.
"Ms. Harrell, long time no see."
Melissa sized up Britney from head to toe, and a trace of astonishment flashed in her eyes. Melissa had to admit that the woman in front of her was breathtakingly beautiful.
"What's the matter?"
Britney's tone was indifferent and distant, and it was obvious that she did not want to talk to the woman in front of her.
"Not a big deal. I just...
"I just want to talk to you about Clarence. You must know that Clarence loves me. Now that I'm back, Clarence will definitely marry me. I hope that you won't break Clarence and me up as you did three years ago." There was a hint of pride in Melissa's eyes.
Unexpectedly, Britney actually sneered. Melissa was really stupid.
"Even if you and Clarence sleep together, it has nothing to do with me. Rather than talking to me, you should think about how to keep your man's attention on you. After all, from the time I entered the door until now, Clarence has been looking at me instead of you."
Hearing this, Melissa turned around and looked at where Clarence was. She saw that the man's eyes really fell on Britney.
For a moment, anger rose inside Melissa.
Melissa took out a black bank card from her bag and threw it on the ground. Her tone was cold and vicious, not as weak as before.
"There are 160 thousand dollars on the card. Take this money and get out of Los Angeles. Don't pester Clarence."
Britney clicked her tongue, and her face darkened. She bent down to pick up the black bank card on the ground and looked at it.
Seeing Britney holding the card in her hand, Melissa was just about to mock Britney when there was a crisp sound. Melissa's face froze.
The originally intact black bank card was easily broken into two by Britney and fell to the ground. Britney even stepped on it twice.
Melissa's expression was a little ugly, as if what Britney had stepped on just now was not the card, but her face.
Suppressing the anger in her heart, Melissa said in a sharp voice, "Britney, what do you mean by this?
"160 thousand dollars is already the greatest kindness I have given you. Don't be ungrateful."
