young man was furious.“Who are you? You think sleeping with Mr. Wilson will get you somewhere? Miss Garcia is
the one engaged to him. You're just a mistress!” “Shut up!” Jack punched him, hard and fast. His eyes were cold.
“I'll say it again: I've never been engaged to the Garcia
Garcia family. Anyone who keeps gossiping will regret

The room fell silent. Julia almost dropped her glass. She'd thought Jack would protect her, considering their
childhood friendship. She never expected him to publicly deny the engagement. She would be the laughingstock
of high society. Why did he do this?
Julia looked at Jack, her eyes red.”Jack...”

Alice didn’t want to be blamed.“Jack doesn’t like you. What's it to me? You should ask him, not me. Are you

Julia dropped her glass. Her usually elegant expression was ruined.
Alice noticed everyone's shocked expressions. But her heart pounded when she heard Jack’s words. He stood

Alice looked up, noticing the gossiping eyes. She didn’t want to be the center of attention.“Alright, there are a lot

Julia cried loudly, “Alice, you have no right to pity me!”
Alice saw Julia's tears, a far cry from her haughty demeanor at the cafe.”Since you knew it would be
embarrassing, why lie in the first place?”
“I didn’t lie! Ask everyone, are you worthy of Jack?” Julia lost her composure; her voice was sharp.
Jack’s expression was tense.“Julia, I'm the one who pursued her.”

Jack stopped her. Alice's face was tight.“What are you doing?”
“Broken glass on the floor.” Jack picked her up and spun her around before setting her down. “Let’s discuss the

“Okay.” Alice, her face flushed, quickly left.
Julia said hoarsely, “Jack, did you have to humiliatelike this?”
“I told you to clear the engagement rumor. With someone else, do you think she’d be standing here?” Jack's
expression was serious, leaving NO room for negotiation.
Julia was speechless, watching Jack leave, feeling her world crumble. Outside, Alice returned to her team’s room.

Alice and Lana Parker got into the cab. Wang Yang, in the passenger seat, glanced at the man at the entrance.
