The CEO's Fiancée Takes Over Everywhere

The surrounding colleagues burst into laughter.

At that moment, I suddenly remembered someone who could vouch for my identity.

When Ethan and I had come to view the house, we had greeted our neighbor, Jean.

Ethan even gave her a bottle of wine; she should remember me.

But when I knocked on Jean's door and asked her about my relationship with Ethan in front of everyone, she hesitated.

Glancing at Sophie, she spoke softly, "Emma, being someone's kept woman isn't something to be proud of. Why do you have to put me in this awkward position in front of his fiancée?"

"You seem so demure; why go after rich men? Now you've been caught by his fiancée, haven't you?"

I was completely stunned; I never expected her to think of me this way!

Sophie was pleased with Jean's response.

"Jean, you've got the right mindset! It's brave of you to speak the truth; no wonder you live in a villa!"

Jean waved her hand dismissively.

"This is nothing. I just can't stand seeing some girls getting things without working for them."

I was about to explain myself when Clara's voice suddenly cried out for help behind me.

I turned to see Sophie's mother on top of Clara, desperately pulling at her hair and tearing at her clothes.

"Who does this old hag think she is, pretending to be my in-laws?"

"Today, I'll teach you a lesson so you'll know better than to act so shamelessly!"

I felt my heart race with fear and rushed forward to intervene, but Sophie kicked me hard, sending me crashing to the ground.

Instead of helping, my colleagues cheered on the scene.

"No wonder she's Mr. Hunter's mother-in-law; she's quick to throw punches!"

Ignoring the pain in my body, I pushed Sophie's mother aside and shielded Clara from further humiliation.

Clara came from a respectable family and didn't know how to handle such situations.

She looked terrified, tears in her eyes as she whispered, "Emma, I just told her not to ruin this dress..."

Sophie's mother rolled her eyes and with a ripping sound, tore a hole in the gown.

"This is my daughter's dress! I can ruin it however I want!"

Sophie chimed in mockingly, "Exactly! It's my stuff; even if I throw it away, it won't benefit you, you little brat!"

Holding Clara tightly, I said fiercely, "Sophie, I will make sure you pay for what you've done today!"

Sophie scoffed at me.

"What's the big deal? I'm going to be Mrs. Hunter! Even if I killed both of you, all I'd have to do is pay a little money—Hunter's family has plenty!"

The surrounding colleagues eagerly agreed with her, clearly eager to curry favor.

Hearing this made me coldly smile. If Ethan found out his mother was being beaten up by his so-called mother-in-law like this, I couldn't imagine how he would feel.

Just then, Clara suddenly clutched her chest in distress.

But today she had forgotten her emergency medication.

Shaking with fear, I pulled out my phone to call an ambulance.

However, just as I did, Sophie snatched it away.

"Oh? Trying to call an ambulance? Then get down on your knees and bow three times for me!"

"Honestly, dying would be better; at least you won't go out and harm others again!"

I was frantic and furious but didn't hesitate to kneel down.

Clara had always been good to me; if anything happened to her, I'd never forgive myself.

But Sophie went back on her word—she waved her hand and threw my phone into a nearby artificial lake.

Looking at the indifferent crowd around me made me want to cry.

At that moment, a Bentley suddenly stopped nearby.

A familiar figure in a tailored suit slowly stepped out of the car.
