Chapter 351: A Slap

Rachelle, who had just been bragging about her fiancé proudly, was dumbfounded at this point.

Indeed, she wasn’t aware of Daniel’s exact financial situation. But he would show off to her all the time by boasting about clinching major business deals and obtaining large commissions. He would also brag to her about casually spending tens of thousands of dollars in a single day, and from time to time, he would even give her luxury goods from big designer brands. Thus, Rachelle had always thought that she had found herself a wealthy fiancé and was really proud of herself for it.

But now that Daniel was exposed for wearing counterfeit luxury goods in front of everyone, Rachelle obviously couldn’t accept it.

But while Rachelle was still dumbfounded and unable to come to terms with reality, the gazes of the crowd were cast on her again.

“Quick, look at the Givenchy sheepskin purse she’s holding. It’s counterfeit too! Even the brand on the logo is spelled wrong!”

“Look at her shoes. They’re not genuine Gucci either. They’re knockoffs!”

“The large diamond ring on her finger and the pearl necklace around her neck aren’t genuine either!”

“Hahahaha, oh my gosh. They seem like rich people all decked out in designer clothing and accessories, but it turns out they’re all knockoffs. This is hilarious!”

...

Everyone continuously spotted more and more counterfeit goods on Rachelle as they scrutinized her, feeling as if they had discovered something incredible.

Furthermore, the counterfeits they were wearing were all low-grade knockoffs, on which the logos were incorrect and brand names misspelled. With such clear and obvious flaws, they could all tell that the items were all fakes even without professional authentication by experts.

Rachelle and Daniel had been reduced to the laughing stock of everyone present!

Rachelle was embarrassed and furious. Some of the items she was wearing were indeed replicas she had bought to pretend like she was rich. But she didn’t expect that even the gifts from Daniel, which she had thought were high-end luxury goods, were counterfeit products too!

Although she was boiling with fury, she knew that it wasn’t the right time to confront Daniel and thrash things out with him now. So she suppressed her anger and tried to draw everyone’s attention to Cheyenne, who was standing by the side quietly.

“Cheyenne Carter, you bitch, you must be feeling pretty smug now, huh!?! Let me tell you, even if I’m not wearing authentic designer goods now, I’m still a thousand times better than a promiscuous woman like you!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“You just use your pretty face to seduce men, and you won’t even spare a lowly chauffeur of your family. You slept with him and got embroiled in a scandal that made you the talk of the town back then. You’re just a shameless, degenerate lowlife!

“Oh right, I almost forgot. Didn’t you also set up a company when you were in college? At the time, you were even lauded as a ‘beautiful CEO’. Oh, please! Everyone knows that your father isn’t blood-related to the Carters, so that makes you a bastard that even your grandfather dislikes. So, where did you get the money to set up your company? Who knows how many men you’ve slept with for money? Hmph, I find it too irksome to talk to someone as filthy as you!”

Rachelle glared at Cheyenne resentfully as she agitatedly slandered her and hurled countless insults at her. It was obvious that she had a strong hatred for Cheyenne. She was acting as if Cheyenne had killed her family!

Cheyenne was dumbfounded!

She never thought that someone could be so vicious, especially since she thought she hadn’t offended Rachelle in any way. She couldn’t figure out why Rachelle felt so much animosity toward her!

Rachelle is a woman herself. How could she bring herself to say such uncouth things and slander me so maliciously?

Cheyenne’s face was pale, and she was so livid that she began trembling.

Smack!

Suddenly, an extremely loud and crisp slap interrupted Rachelle’s incessant insults and slanders.

The hard impact of the slap made Rachelle cock her head toward the side uncontrollably before losing her balance and falling to the ground. One side of her face soon became red.

“If you dare to insult her again, I’ll rip your lips off!” Lucas’s gaze was like a sharp dagger as he looked down at Rachelle coldly. The look in his eyes was extremely terrifying, and he looked as if he was trying to stab her with them.

At this moment, Lucas was exuding a terrifying, murderous aura that made everyone else shudder.

The woman on the ground had repeatedly humiliated and mocked Cheyenne, which was already beyond the bottom line of Lucas’s tolerance.

Cheyenne and Amelia were the people whom Lucas cared about the most. He would never let anyone bully them again!

The reason he had been tolerating it was because he didn’t want a wench like Rachelle to disrupt his date with Cheyenne. After all, they rarely had the chance to spend some time alone with each other.

Yet Rachelle went overboard and took things too far by insulting and smearing Cheyenne. Lucas wouldn’t be a man if he could tolerate letting his wife get bullied in such a manner!

Cheyenne stared at Lucas in shock, but she gradually felt touched and blissful.

Lucas had defended her and protected her umpteenth times. Although Lucas had slapped Rachelle, Cheyenne somehow felt extremely at ease, and her heart was full of an indescribable warm and fuzzy feeling.

“You... you scoundrel, how dare you hit me?” Rachelle, sitting on the ground, hollered furiously with one hand on her face. In her opinion, Cheyenne’s husband was just a penniless good-for-nothing who freeloaded off her. Yet she was slapped by him!

Watching Cheyenne and Lucas hold each other’s gazes lovingly, while Daniel was just standing at the side cowardly even after seeing that she had gotten slapped by Lucas, Rachelle was even more enraged and full of envy!

She was just about to curse her heart out, but Lucas glared at her ruthlessly and coldly again, causing her to shut up instantly. This man’s gaze is so terrifying!

Everyone around them fell silent for a moment as Lucas handed his credit card to the dumbstruck sales assistant standing next to him. He said indifferently, “Since they can’t afford this trench coat, we’ll take it. There’s no issue with that, right?”

“Huh? Oh, okay!” The stunned sales assistant recovered from the trance that she had slipped into for a long time. She hurriedly said, “No problem. I’ll process the payment and wrap the trench coat up for you!”

Cheyenne’s lips moved slightly, but she didn’t end up saying anything.

She had initially planned to buy the trench coat as a gift for Lucas, but after hearing that it cost $90,000, Cheyenne knew that she wouldn’t be able to afford it.

She had basically handed all her savings from her salary to Karen previously, and she had only become the general manager of the Brilliance Corporation a short while ago. So she didn’t have much cash in hand and could only let Lucas pay for it.

But Cheyenne secretly decided that she had to get Lucas a gift no matter what.

The store manager, who was standing behind them, exclaimed in shock when he saw the card Lucas handed the sales assistant. “Black Diamond Card?!”
