Chapter 1426
The Ceo’s Convict Wife
People who came in with Queena started to talk about Hanna, âI was wondering what kind of woman could become Calvinâs girlfriend. I didnât expect her to be a cartoonist. Is she a famous one? I never heard her name before.â
âA woman like her is always a gold digger.â
They chatted as if Hanna was not present and their words were full of contempt for Hanna.
One of them even looked at Hanna and said disdainfully, âHow about you share with us what kind of tricks you played to bewitch Calvin?â
Hanna stared at this group of people. She knew they were also famous rich kids like Queena based on their clothes.
Queena and her friends all looked at Hanna with an unfriendly look.
Hanna asked, âDonât you think that Calvin is someone who can be tricked?â She knew that she must not look weak. Because it would only make these people feel better and it would embarrass Calvin.
The woman who asked Hanna this rude question looked a bit angry. She said, âSo, youâre argumentative. Iâve seen too many women like you. Do you really thinkâ¦â
Hanna interrupted the woman and finished what she wanted to say to her. âDo you really think that you are Calvinâs true love and you can marry into a rich family? But unfortunately, you will be dumped very soon. Is this what youâre going to tell me?â
The woman was simmering with anger. Suddenly, she raised her hand subconsciously, ready to slap Hanna.
Hanna said, âDonât forget that Iâm Calvinâs girlfriend. At least, he still loves me very much at this moment. Have you thought about what he would do to you if you touched me?â
Immediately, the woman turned pale. Thinking about Calvinâs cruelness, she sweated a lot. Her hand was still raised up but she didnât dare to slap Hanna at all.
There was an awkward silence in the dressing room.
Seeing this, Queena said to Hanna gloomily, âI think you think too high of yourself. Calvin had a lot of girlfriends before you. Not many years ago, he changed his girlfriend quite often. Weâre just being kind.
We donât want to see you depressed when youâre dumped!â
Queena looked at Hannaâs dress and said, âCalvin gave you this dress, right? By the way, it wonât be too late to think about the question of whether Calvin really loves you when Calvin starts to give you purple dresses. Until then, Calvin is only too bored.â
Hannaâs heart sank. She thought, âPurple dress? Purple, again. It is Rosalieâs favorite color.â
Hanna said, âWhether Calvin loves me is only between me and Calvin. You donât need to worry about it, Ms. Stapleton.ââ
Queena snapped, âHanna, who do you think you really are?â
Before Hanna could speak another word, an elegant male voice was heard. âQueena, sheâs my girlfriend. You canât talk to her like that.â
Suddenly, it was deadly silent. Everyone looked in the direction of the door.
A tall man was slowly walking over to them. His pretty face looked cold and distant.
Queena was shocked. She wondered how much of her words Calvin had heard.
Calvin walked to Hanna and said, âI should have come here earlier.â
Hanna said, âItâs not too late.â Calvinâs presence relieved her. Although she looked fearless confronting Queena and her friends, her palms were actually sweating a great deal when arguing with them.
Calvin bent over to her and asked in a low and affectionate voice, âDo you like the dress and the jewelry I chose for you?â
Hanna said, âSure. Theyâre beautiful.â
Calvin said, picking up the sapphire necklace and putting it on Hanna, âIâll help you with this.â
The stunning necklace set off the fairness of Hannaâs smooth skin, making her look more noble.
Calvin said, âWhy havenât you apologized?â Obviously, he was referring to Queena and her friends.
Queena and her friends immediately looked at each other in confusion. Queena asked in shock, âYouâ¦
You want me to apologize to her?!â
Calvin said in a cold and frightening way, âDonât you think youâre supposed to do that? You know that Hanna is my girlfriend so you should know what you can say and you cannot.â
Calvin leaned down and picked up the pair of sapphire earrings. He carefully put them on Hanna. His gentle movement was in sharp contrast to the way he talked to Queena just now.
Queena gritted her teeth. She had been loving him since she was a child but he never considered choosing her as his girlfriend.
Calvin had kept looking for the little girl who saved him when he was a child so every ex-girlfriend of his was like the substitute of that little girl for him.
Later at some point, Calvin finally stopped looking for a substitute. After staying single for several years, he chose a girl who bewildered Queena.
Queena didnât know in which way Hanna was better than her.
Queena stared at Calvin and asked, âCalvin, do you really want me to apologize to this woman?â
Obviously, Calvin didnât want everyone who was rude to Hanna just now to get away with it. He said, âNot just you. I mean all of you!â
The atmosphere crackled with tension and was suffocating.
Calvin was still calmly putting the earrings on Hanna as if it were nothing serious. âI donât have all the time for you. If you donât apologize, leave.â
But no one dared to guess what the price would be if she left.
After all, Calvin was never a person who played by the book.
So, Queenaâs friends all apologized to Hanna one after one.
âMs. Zimmerman, Iâm sorry. We shouldnât have talked about you like that.â
âIâm so sorry. Please forgive us!â
Hanna nodded to them politely. Calvin glanced at Queena and snorted, âHuh?â
Queena trembled and finally lowered her head reluctantly. She said to Hanna, âIâshouldnât have said those things. I apologize.â
Hanna replied, âThen donât say things like that ever again, Ms. Stapleton.â
Queenaâs face was slightly twisted. She glared at Hanna and then turned around to leave.
Queenaâs friends all followed after Queena and left. Now, Calvin, Hanna, the makeup artist, and the makeup artistâs assistant were left alone.
