‘Excuse me, sir. Can I talk to you for a second?”

Cassian paused and turned around.

oanne was instantly floored by how ridiculously good looking this guy was.

esus Christ! He was absolutely stunning!

oanne could literally hear her heart pounding in her ears.

and her jealousy toward Amelia just went through the roof.

Why did Amelia get to be so lucky, snagging a guy this incredible?

assian noticed Joanne’s googly–eyed stare and his expression darkened. “What?”

anne snapped out of it, her voice turning nasty. “Look, I need to warn you about something. Don’t let Amelia fool you. She’s not some high–class ocialite–she’s just a basic gold–digger. My brother literally just dumped her, and now she’s already got her claws in you. She’s shallow as hell and totally

anipulative…”

efore Joanne could finish trash–talking her, Amelia stepped up and slapped her hard across the face. “Joanne, your mouth is fucking disgusting. What crawled p your ass and died?”

he crack of the slap echoed through the entire ballroom.

veryone went dead silent and turned to gawk.

anne grabbed her cheek, looking completely shocked. “Did you just… did you just hit me?”

melia’s voice was deadly calm. “Hell yes, I hit you. Got a problem with that? You were running your mouth like a sewer. Is this how your family taught you to tin public? What you just said was straight–up slander–I could press charges.”

You crazy bitch!” Joanne’s eyes started tearing up with rage.

he’d never been humiliated like this in her entire life.

hat psycho slut Amelia!

he more Joanne thought about it, the angrier she got. Getting smacked in front of half of New York’s elite, then getting called out for having zero class.

he Hale name meant something in this city, and now she’d made them look like trash.

Janne stared at Amelia with pure hatred burning in her eyes. She suddenly lunged forward, trying to grab a handful of hair.

he was ready to throw down right here in the ballroom.

ut before Joanne could touch her, Cassian stepped between them and blocked her.

assian pulled Amelia against his chest, his eyes turning ice–cold. “Touch her and you’ll regret it. I promise you that.”

lis voice could have frozen hell over,

oanne took a step back but she wasn’t backing down.

asper had been watching this whole shitshow and finally stepped in. “Joanne, what the hell is wrong with you?”

Could this get any more embarrassing?

Jasper felt sick watching how protectively Cassian was holding Amelia.

What exactly was going on between them? They looked way too comfortable together.

Jealousy and confusion twisted through his chest like a knife.

Chapter 47

Cassian kept his arm wrapped around Amelia like she belonged to him.

“Jasper, why are you taking her side? I’m your fucking sister!” Joanne was practically having a tantrum.

After getting called out by her own brother, Joanne looked ready to explode. She bit her lip hard, her eyes flashing with hurt and anger.

What had she done wrong?

she was just trying to expose Amelia for the fake she really was.

7aleria smoothly moved in to clean up the mess. “Joanne, honey, your brother’s just stressed. Don’t take it personally. Come on, let’s get some fresh air outside”

aleria skillfully guided Joanne away from the scene.

asper shot her a look of pure relief.

fter Joanne was gone, Jasper turned to Cassian, trying to salvage the situation. “Mr. Rhodes, I’m really sorry about my sister. She’s young and stupid. I apologiz or the drama.”

assian gave Jasper one cold, dismissive glance. So this was the blind moron who’d let Amelia slip through his fingers.

ctually, that worked out perfectly.
