Relentless Pursuit After Divorce

Chapter 2246: Chapter 2246: The Young Ones’ Love Is So Sweet (159)

"Those sour lemons upstairs are like farmers who think the Emperor uses a golden hoe to farm, totally clueless, right? Laura Jones has climbed up to a business mogul, does she still need to write books? Isn’t it better to be the mogul’s woman?"

"..."

The online comments, although not entirely one-sided, were mostly mocking Laura Jones.

Plus, it was obvious someone had hired trolls to lead the public opinion, so the heat wouldn’t die down.

And in no time, Laura Jones became a celebrity at school.

"I knew it, some people just have a face and think they’re above everyone, ignoring all the boys chasing her at our school, turns out she went to be some mogul’s mistress."

As soon as Laura Jones entered the classroom, she was met with sarcastic remarks from those who used to follow behind Emma Williams.

They didn’t bother hiding it from her, clearly intending for her to hear.

While Emma sat among them, looking at her with a proud and provocative gaze.

Being stared at by so many eyes, Laura Jones didn’t avoid them, and even walked straight over, saying:

"Being her little minions again? Back then, she dumped you guys like baggage in order to climb up to someone else, aren’t you afraid of being dumped again?"

Laura Jones’s words immediately changed the expressions of those girls.

Back then, when Emma had fallen out with them to get close to Hannah Taylor, it had always been a sore spot in their hearts.

Only, Emma had a rich Uncle to back her up, providing her with plenty of resources.

By sticking with Emma, even if they couldn’t eat the meat, they could still drink the soup. That’s why when Emma came back to them, they easily forgave her.

This kind of thing was better left unsaid, but now being called out by Laura Jones like this, it was extremely awkward.

"Laura Jones, what right do you have to mock us? Mind your own business, being someone else’s mistress, don’t you have any shame."

Laura Jones didn’t get angry, she just raised an eyebrow at them, then turned her gaze to Emma, and asked:

"Does the water in the tank taste good?"

Emma’s face changed dramatically upon hearing this.

The actions of William Wilson at that time did cast a shadow on her heart, she could swear that William really intended to kill her then.

If it wasn’t for the law, she might have actually died at his hands.

Thinking of this, a wave of fear washed over Emma, and seeing the indifference in Laura Jones’s eyes only made her angrier, her face twisted in rage.

"What, you want to have your lover scare me again?"

Emma looked at Laura Jones with a dark expression, her cold eyes seemed to freeze her.

At the mention of "lover," Laura Jones didn’t get mad, she merely looked at Emma with a hint of mockery, saying:

"Let’s not talk about how you got those unfounded photos online, even if there is something, we’re both single, is dating illegal?"

Emma was choked by her question, just about to say something when she suddenly caught another phrase in Laura Jones’s words—

"What do you mean? What do you mean my unfounded photos? Laura Jones, don’t throw everything on me, or I’ll sue you!"

Emma said it firmly, but deep inside she was feeling guilty.

If she hadn’t kept a back-up plan, it might have really gotten traced back to her.

Laura Jones didn’t argue with her, she just replied, "Hope you’re still that tough when the time comes. Take care."

With that, she returned to her seat.
