Today, Jane actually picked on a kid. That crossed a whole new line.
Besides, Reese had already made up her mind about divorcing Sebastian. At this point, Jane was just a stranger to her.
“Oh, I’m the one who’s out of line now?”
All these years, Reese had always gone easy on Jane, and that had only spoiled her, making her even more reckless. Now, for the first time, Reese pushed back, and Jane looked like she’d been struck by lightning. She stormed forward, jabbing a finger right at Reese’s face.
“Everyone knows you’re the real bitch here, Reese! Back then, you drugged Sebastian, slept with him, and forced your way into my family. Now, with the old man behind you, you think you can do whatever you want. The second Sebastian gets close to another woman, you get rid of the baby and threaten him with divorce. Now that the old man’s in the hospital over all this, you show up pretending you care. Afraid you’ll lose your shield if he’s gone, huh?”
Reese watched Jane’s hysterics and almost laughed out loud. A cold smile tugged at her lips.
“You’re right. I am threatening Sebastian with divorce. And when I do, I’ll make sure to walk away with most of his money. So, Jane, you do the math. If Sebastian loses half his fortune, do you really think you’ll still be the queen bee of your fancy little circle? Think your socialite friends won’t laugh behind your back?”
Jane was trembling with rage. She raised her hand, aiming to slap Reese across the face.
But Reese saw it coming a mile away. She pulled Annie behind her and sidestepped neatly. Jane’s hand sliced through nothing but air, and she stumbled forward. Reese managed to dodge the hit, but her knee slammed into the cold metal bench, turning bright red in seconds.
She hissed in pain.
“No!” Annie cried out, her little face confused and scared.
To Annie, it just looked like Jane was bullying Reese and had pushed her into the bench. Tears spilled down her cheeks instantly. “Don’t bully her!”
“Reese!”
Just then, Matthew hurried out of the elevator. The second he saw Reese’s swollen knee and Annie’s tear-stained face, his expression darkened.
He stepped in front of Reese and Annie, shielding them both with his body as he glared at Jane. His voice was so cold it could’ve frozen the whole hallway.
“Jane, Sebastian’s father is lying in that hospital room, and you’re out here hurting Reese? Have you lost your mind?”
Jane shrank back a little, intimidated by Matthew’s fury, but she still tried to hold her ground.
