Chapter 1426
People who came in with Queena started to talk about Hanna, “I was wondering what kind of woman could become Calvin’s girlfriend. I didn’t expect her to be a cartoonist. Is she a famous one? I never heard her name before.”
“A woman like her is always a gold digger.”
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, “How about you share with us what kind of tricks you played to bewitch Calvin?”
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, “Don’t you think that Calvin is someone who can be tricked?” 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, “So, you’re argumentative. I’ve seen too many women like you. Do you really think…”
Hanna interrupted the woman and finished what she wanted to say to her. “Do you really think that you are Calvin’s true love and you can marry into a rich family? But unfortunately, you will be dumped very soon. Is this what you’re going to tell me?”
The woman was simmering with anger. Suddenly, she raised her hand subconsciously, ready to slap Hanna.
Hanna said, “Don’t forget that I’m Calvin’s 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?”
Immediately, the woman turned pale. Thinking about Calvin’s cruelness, she sweated a lot. Her hand was still raised up but she didn’t dare to slap Hanna at all.
There was an awkward silence in the dressing room.
Seeing this, Queena said to Hanna gloomily, “I 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. We’re just being kind. We don’t want to see you depressed when you’re dumped!”
Queena looked at Hanna’s dress and said, “Calvin gave you this dress, right? By the way, it won’t 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.”
Hanna’s heart sank. She thought, “Purple dress? Purple, again. It is Rosalie’s favorite color.”
Hanna said, “Whether Calvin loves me is only between me and Calvin. You don’t need to worry about it, Ms. Stapleton.””
Queena snapped, “Hanna, who do you think you really are?”
Before Hanna could speak another word, an elegant male voice was heard. “Queena, she’s my girlfriend. You can’t talk to her like that.”
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, “I should have come here earlier.”
Hanna said, “It’s not too late.” Calvin’s 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, “Do you like the dress and the jewelry I chose for you?”
Hanna said, “Sure. They’re beautiful.”
Calvin said, picking up the sapphire necklace and putting it on Hanna, “I’ll help you with this.”
The stunning necklace set off the fairness of Hanna’s smooth skin, making her look more noble.
Calvin said, “Why haven’t you apologized?” Obviously, he was referring to Queena and her friends.
Queena and her friends immediately looked at each other in confusion. Queena asked in shock, “You… You want me to apologize to her?!”
Calvin said in a cold and frightening way, “Don’t you think you’re supposed to do that? You know that Hanna is my girlfriend so you should know what you can say and you cannot.”
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 didn’t know in which way Hanna was better than her.
Queena stared at Calvin and asked, “Calvin, do you really want me to apologize to this woman?”
Obviously, Calvin didn’t want everyone who was rude to Hanna just now to get away with it. He said, “Not just you. I mean all of you!”
The atmosphere crackled with tension and was suffocating.
Calvin was still calmly putting the earrings on Hanna as if it were nothing serious. “I don’t have all the time for you. If you don’t apologize, leave.”
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, Queena’s friends all apologized to Hanna one after one.
“Ms. Zimmerman, I’m sorry. We shouldn’t have talked about you like that.”
“I’m so sorry. Please forgive us!”
Hanna nodded to them politely. Calvin glanced at Queena and snorted, “Huh?”
Queena trembled and finally lowered her head reluctantly. She said to Hanna, “I’shouldn’t have said those things. I apologize.”
Hanna replied, “Then don’t say things like that ever again, Ms. Stapleton.”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Queena’s face was slightly twisted. She glared at Hanna and then turned around to leave.
Queena’s friends all followed after Queena and left. Now, Calvin, Hanna, the makeup artist, and the makeup artist’s assistant were left alone.
