Chapter 461 - KAITO ESCAPED (1/2)

The other woman's facial expression became ugly after hearing those words from Nicole Jiang. If there was anything Phoebe hated most in the world, it was being reminded of her failed love. It was the most humiliating thing anyone could talk about in front of her.

She did not believe she was wrong, but she hated when people mocked her. It was just that her decisions were different from the norm.  ​​

Usually, when girls had a crush or were in love with someone secretly, they would try to hide it in their hearts. Maybe, they would confess at some point, but most chose to do so discreetly. For example, school girls would write notes or call their crush to an undisclosed location.

However, Phoebe had thought that a more aggressive plan was suitable. At the time, she felt like a powerful and much-feared man would not choose a shy girl. He would prefer someone who shunned the unspoken rules of society.

Therefore, she had boldly declared her love for the so-called 'demon king' during a party on a yacht. How could she know that he was as unforgiving as people said? He had ordered his men to have her thrown off the vessel. She had to swim for several kilometres to return to land.

Because of that incident, everyone on the island knew about her not-so-secret love for that horrible man. And they mocked her endlessly for it, making her feel embarrassed. Everyone thought that she was overestimating herself by trying to get with him.

Of course, that was not the end.

Even after the humiliation, she did not give up on the man. But she did not dare to be so brave and confess again. She did not pester him as much anymore, but she still found opportunities to try and improve his impression of her.

Unfortunately, people did not forget about her failures at attracting the man and would bring it up on occasion to humiliate her. She had managed to suppress the problems by beating up anyone who spoke about this matter.

But she could not control everyone.

”You b*tch!” She cursed.

Then, she leapt at Nicole, driving her back outside from the doorway of the shop. Her hands were in the shape of claws as if she hoped to scratch and tear apart Nicole's face.

Unfortunately for her, Nicole was vigilant. She defended herself quickly and retaliated. She had expected the aggressive reaction because this type of scene happened every time they met, except when the setting was formal.

Their quarrel spanned a lot of ages and had evolved over the years. The problem started with a boy who Nicole liked and who liked her during their school years. Phoebe made up ugly rumours about her and caused their innocent love to die.

Of course, Nicole found a chance to get revenge. Slowly by slowly, they became irreconcilable ȧduŀts. So, they fought in the streets without a care for their dignity. But again, they were beautiful and popular ladies, and their fight was not bloody.

This particular bout lasted for about ten minutes before the two ladies huffed and turned from each other. Phoebe's clothes had a significant tear, so it was considered Nicole's win. The two of them never pushed things too far for the sake of their families and reputation.

However, they also could not coexist without fighting. Their altercations were expected and necessary because they had sworn to never reconcile.
