"Isabella Yates, stop messing around and head back first!" Edward Harrison’s tone became much sterner. Ha, Isabella Yates sneered internally. Every time she did something, he would always give in to her, but when it came to shielding Sophie Smith, he wouldn’t budge an inch. The atmosphere in the café grew increasingly noisy, with people pointing fingers at Sophie Smith behind her back. She really couldn’t take it anymore. Why was it that no matter how much she wanted to stay low profile, she always ended up at the center of a media storm! ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽 Edward Harrison couldn’t stand it any longer, and he dragged Isabella Yates’ hand towards the door. Isabella felt humiliated by the way Edward treated her like she was performing a one-man show. "Edward, let me go. Tell me today, do you like her?" Isabella Yates nearly pointed her finger to her nose. "Stop it, so many people are watching. Aren’t you embarrassed? Little Sophie is a public figure. Don’t cause her any bad influence or disgrace her, alright?" Isabella Yates got even angrier hearing this, holding a grudge in her heart. She raised her hand and slapped Edward Harrison hard across the face. Sophie Smith widened her eyes, hardly believing what was happening—Isabella Yates actually dared to hit Edward Harrison? Since childhood, Edward Harrison was known for his exceptionally good temper, never raising his voice or causing conflicts. In the eyes of everyone who knew him, he was definitely a cultured yet sunny young man. But why, why did he end up being treated after being with Isabella Yates? She was also furious. Without much deliberation, she walked up to Isabella Yates, mimicking her earlier actions towards Edward Harrison, raising her own hand and delivering a slap. Isabella Yates held her reddened face, speechless for a long time, and Edward Harrison was equally stunned. "This slap, I returned it on behalf of Edward." She withdrew her hand, her eyes full of disdain. "I really don’t understand why Edward would be with you. You simply aren’t fit to stand by his side." The crowd began to jeer, some even recording the scene of Sophie Smith hitting someone on their phones. She knew she might appear on the front pages of entertainment sections tomorrow, but that slap and those words were completely out of her control. Isabella Yates was no pushover either. Sophie knew this when they were still roommates. Now that she’d slapped Isabella Yates, she figured Isabella would probably come back with two or three slaps. Isabella Yates approached, and Sophie didn’t think of dodging. Where would she hide anyway? Moreover, she wasn’t such a coward. Isabella Yates’ eyes locked onto the steaming cup of coffee on the table. Sophie followed her gaze... Ha, she’s not thinking about splashing that coffee on her face, is she? Edward Harrison felt a bit scared too and was about to step up, but Isabella Yates was quicker. Grabbing the coffee with all her strength, she flung it toward Sophie. In an instant, Sophie only felt someone forcefully pulling her to the side. Wearing ten-centimeter high heels, she staggered but managed to stay upright. Thankfully, she narrowly escaped without a drop of coffee touching her. However, someone wasn’t so lucky. Asher Land stood at the entrance, his expensive suit stained with coffee, looking somewhat disheveled. "Are you okay..." She approached him, a bit flustered.
