Chapter 88 Throw Her Out
The way a person carried themselves was an important factor in earning people''s respect.
J walked past the people watching her with rapt attention, gently lifting her dress. From the
corner of her eyes, she could feel the people''s burning gazes.
Her racing heart slowed down when she saw Ethan. She quickly grabbed his arm and hid behind
him. Her curledshes and the neat sweep of eyeliner made her eyes look bigger and more
seductive. "Thank you, Mr. Harding. I''ll return the dress tomorrow."
Garrett coughed awkwardly. Unable to meet J''s gaze, he looked away. "Okay, okay."
After all, J looked incredible after dressing up.
Ethan used the opportunity to hold J in his arms. He raked his eyes across her beautiful face as
he gently stroked her cheek with his thumb as if she were a piece of art. "Have you worn makeup?"
he asked softly.
"Don''t I look good?" J looked at him through hershes.
Ethan chuckled. He pressed his lips against her ear and whispered, "God, you are beautiful! You
look like a real princess."
J shivered and shrank into his arms. "Ethan, stop! It tickles."
Ethan''s Adam''s apple bobbed, and his eyes darkened. He couldn''t take his eyes off her alluring
face.
Jocelyn burned with jealousy when she saw the intimate couple.
Her hatred for J reached its peak. She felt the woman was a slut who effortlessly seduced men.
Ever since they were children, J had been more attractive than her. Even though J wore
the simplest outfit, she would garner the attention of the people around her. Now that J was
dressed like royalty, Jocelyn felt she faded inparison to her.
"Be careful about the dress. Otherwise, you''ll have to sell yourself to pay it back." Jocelyn sneered
and walked past J, deliberately bumping against her shoulder.
Ethan''s face darkened, his cold eyes zed with rage.
Seeing that, Garrett immediately waved at the security. "Throw this woman out!"
Several security guards surrounded Jocelyn and grabbed her arms to take her away.
Jocelyn thrashed and screamed, trying to free herself. "Why the hell are you driving me away? I''m
here as Mr. Sherman''s date. How dare you drive me away?"
"All right. I''ll ask Mr. Sherman to deal with you." Garrett looked around the banquet hall and saw a
plump, timid-middle-aged man. "Mr. Sherman, don''t be shy. What do you say?" he demanded.
Sherman had been a loser in his early years. Later, he gained wealth after selling antiques.
However, by then he had be too old to have fun in life. He didn''t dare to offend the deputy
CEO of the Larson Group.
Sherman was frightened out of his wits that he didn''t dare to even look at Jocelyn. "It''s up to you,
Mr. Harding." He waved his hand. "I just brought her to apany me tonight. Besides that, we
don''t share any rtionship. You can do whatever you want."
With that, Sherman turned around and began talking with the others as if nothing had happened.
"Do you know who I am?" Jocelyn bellowed. "I''m the daughter of the Lind family. My parents won''t
spare you."
Garrett nced at her coldly. Then, he picked up a ss of wine from the tray, took a sip, and
smacked its lips. "I don''t care who you are and which family you belong. I''m ready to deal with them
at any time."
Jocelyn struggled desperately and refused to leave. Finally, the guards dragged her out of the hotel.
Themotion had already garnered the people''s attention. Several men were staring at J.
They all seemed to ogle her with lustful eyes, their gazes drinking every inch of her body.
"It''s all right now. Let''s go back to our seats." When J raised her head, she saw Ethan staring
into the distance. His jaw was tense, and his eyes narrowed as if faced with a dangerous enemy.

J sensed that he was angry.
"What''s wrong with you?" she asked quizzically.
Ethan took a deep breath and looked at her. Then, he took off his suit jacket and draped it around
J''s shoulders. "Nothing. Put on my coat."
