My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul

The women by the river were stunned when they heard Mabel's words. They wondered if the man standing before them was none other than Manfred.

Their confusion lasted only a moment, and soon after, they got their answer. From Mabel's horrified expression, it was clear. This man was indeed Manfred. They then looked at the woman standing beside him. The two of them looked so perfectly matched as if they were made for each other.

Moreover, Manfred's cold demeanor confirmed their suspicions. It was clear that he didn't like Mabel at all. She had been delusional to think otherwise.

Mabel had even shamelessly used Manfred to mock their ignorance as if she were trying to make fools of them.

It was truly unbelievable.

Although Mabel was terrified, her eyes still burned with a fanatical obsession.

"Mr. Atkinson, do you have feelings for me? I am willing to be your mistress, just to stay by your side. Even if it means being a mistress, I am more than willing because I know you care for me."

Her words were filled with passion.

Vivian's expression remained unchanged.

However, Manfred's gaze turned icy cold. "Who gave you the courage to speak such nonsense in front of me? Do you know the consequences of attempting to ruin my reputation?"

His two questions struck like thunder, causing Mabel's face to drain of all color. She stared at Manfred in disbelief.

"I... I..."

She couldn't understand why Manfred didn't like her, and she refused to believe it.

She had been so devoted to him, traveling from Vlario to Briarpatch just to be close to him.

Now, she was placed in this poor, remote area, and yet, he didn't care for her at all.

"Take her to Lynch Residence. I want them to discipline her properly." Manfred immediately instructed Kemp.

Kemp immediately acknowledged the order and moved toward Mabel.

Mabel took several steps back, her eyes still filled with disbelief as she looked at Manfred. "Mr. Atkinson, I don't believe it.

"I don't believe you've never had feelings for me. Is it because of that woman? Did she say bad things about me to turn you against me?"

She turned to glare at Vivian. "You're nothing but a seductress! Do you even realize you've ruined me? Do you think Mr. Atkinson will always like you? He won't. Once he sees that all you have is a face like a seductress, but a truly ugly heart, he will despise you!"

One of the women nearby couldn't hold back any longer and retorted, "Stop talking nonsense! They say a person's appearance reflects their heart. We all heard Mr. Atkinson's words loud and clear-he never liked you! sŵnovel

"You've just been fooling yourself! Mr. Atkinson's fiancée hasn't even bothered to speak to you. It's clear she doesn't want to waste time with someone like you!"

Other voices quickly joined in. "You've looked down on us for so long, and yet, you're the pathetic one. Living in a fantasy world, what a joke!"

"She's completely lost it! Think about it-how big is her ego to say Mr. Atkinson liked her? What a ridiculous delusion! Her relatives should discipline her and keep her from embarrassing herself further."noveldrama

Mabel's face turned bright red. "You... What do you know?"

Kemp didn't want to listen to another word. He swiftly grabbed Mabel and began leading her away.

Mabel struggled, unwilling to leave. "No, Vivian, you must tell the truth! Did you have an ulterior motive for getting close to Mr. Atkinson? Mr. Atkinson, please don't believe her!"

Vivian suddenly walked toward Mabel.

Mabel hadn't expected Vivian to approach so suddenly and stared at her in surprise.

"You... You think just because Mr. Atkinson likes you now, you can do whatever you want?" She gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with jealousy as she spat out.

Vivian remained unfazed. "Do you

really know how Manfred and I met? You've only seen me twice, yet you're already making baseless accusations. Mabel, I thought you were just foolish, but now I realize you're utterly ridiculous. I can't even be bothered to argue with you."

"Vivian." Manfred's voice was calm but protective as he walked over to her side.

His gaze toward Mabel was colder and even more filled with malice than before.

Mabel was immediately frightened into silence.

Then, she suddenly became aware of her situation. She felt like nothing more than a fool now.
