Just a few days ago, the man standing in front of her had clearly been the one to make a move, saying he wanted to take things further with her.
He’d even bought her all sorts of gifts, practically begging her to give him a chance.
And now, he was turning his back on her.
Emma glanced coldly at Naomi in the distance and sneered, “You heard him, didn’t you? My fiance said you were the one who seduced him.”
“Yes, it was this woman who seduced me!“:
The man scrambled to distance himself.
Emma turned to him and said, “Ashton, if you really want to marry me, then cut all ties with this woman. and make her pay for what she did to me.”
“Of course!”
His expression was filled with conviction.
Who would give up a noblewoman of the Aurora family for someone with no status?
Emma raised an eyebrow and placed a small knife in Ashton’s hand.
Ashton stared at the knife, stunned.
“What is this for?”
“This woman seduced you, humiliated me, and embarrassed me in front of everyone at school. I’m not satisfied until you use this knife to slash her face–for me.”
The moment Emma said those words, Ashton froze.
“Slash… slash her face? Isn’t that a bit too much? How about we just rough her up a little instead?”
Ashton had never laid a hand on a woman before.
Looking at Naomi–delicate and trembling–he didn’t dare move.
Emma looked him dead in the eye..
“Don’t forget, Ashton, your Cole family still depends on our Aurora family’s connections to make money. You were the one begging me to marry you. What now? You’re going to walk away because of this tramp?”
Ashton had never wanted to break things off with Emma.
If Naomi hadn’t been so forward, he never would’ve approached her in the first place.
Seeing that Emma was actually serious, Naomi’s expression darkened.
“If you dare touch my face, Mr. Nathaniel will never let you off the hook! The Aurora family? Without Mr. Nathaniel, you’re nothing!”

Naomi struggled wildly, but Emma walked right up to her and slapped her across the face.
The blow left her cheek ringing
Emma sneered.

“You think I’m afraid of that old man Nathaniel? If my dad hadn’t told me to stay on good terms with the Hartwell family. I wouldn’t have even pretended to be nice to you at school! Sure, our Aurora family needs Nathaniel’s help–but don’t forget, Naomi, Nathaniel isn’t going to offend us just for a woman like you. You really think you matter that much?”
Naomi’s expression shifted instantly.
Drawing on her memories from her past life, she’d done plenty for Nathaniel over the past few days and had become his favorite.
But Emma was right.
A mistress was still just a mistress.
Why would Nathaniel jeopardize a business partnership over a mistress?
“Naomi, I’m not just going to ruin your face today. I’m going to film every inch of your body. You like men so much? I’ll post the video to the school forum and see how you strut around campus after that.”
Emma’s gaze turned ice cold.
Naomi realized she wasn’t bluffing–her face grew even paler.
“Ashton! What are you waiting for? Do it already!” Emma barked, glaring at him.
Ashton looked down at the knife in his hand; his fingers trembled.
“What, you don’t want Aurora family’s help anymore? Fine. Tonight, I’ll tell my dad we’re breaking off the engagement. You can go find some other woman. Oh, and after we cancel the engagement, all cooperation between the Aurora and Cole family will end. That dream your family had of going public this year? Kiss it goodbye.”
As soon as Emma said that, Ashton’s hand stopped shaking. He made up his mind right then and there.
He couldn’t sacrifice the entire Cole family for one woman.
No Ashton! You can’t do this to me! Don’t come any closer! Don’t!”
Naomi’s face was full of fear.
If her face was ruined, her whole life would be over.
