That being said , she couldn't help but vent her dissatisfaction as she bit her lip and fumed , " Didn't you hear what they said , Miss Victoria ? They went too far ! I wish I could rip their tongues out . " " And ? " Victoria asked calmly . " Start a fight just over a few words they said ? What will they say next ? Is it going to be that not only was I forced to eat lunch at the cafeteria , but I even got into a fight with the other employees at the cafeteria because they hit a raw nerve ? " Yasmin frowned . " That wasn't my intention , Miss Victoria . " " I know that , of course , but do you think you can accomplish anything by confronting them ?

" It doesn't quite count as slander . " Yasmin's eyes widened in disbelief . " What are you saying , Miss Victoria ? " " They're not wrong .

" Since Victoria seemed completely unbothered , Yasmin didn't want to comment further , so she suppressed her anger and carried on eating . Once they were done , Victoria and Yasmin walked through the crowd and left . All the while , Victoria's expression remained perfectly calm . " Look at her acting as if she's unbothered . It looks as if she doesn't care that Mr. Cadogan's with another woman right now . " " Tch . What do you mean she doesn't care ? But even if she does , would it 11:14 Mon , 19 Jun 林 家 77 % 會 Chapter 47 Tell Him to Come Out 4/11 matter ? She'd still be abandoned anyway .
