Chapter 195 A Pig That Stands Up

    Chapter 195 A Pig That Stands Up


    She stayed silent, thinking Den had juste out to the terrace for some air. So, she strode past him, ready to leave.


    But just as she passed him, he grabbed her wrist.


    "Grace ... "


    Grace was puzzled.


    Then she jerked her hand back, as if she''d been touched by something toxic.


    "What''s your deal? Are you out of your mind?"


    Den hesitated for a moment, then withdrew his hand with a hint of frustration. "Sorry, I didn''t mean anything else. I just wanted to ask how you''ve beentely."


    Grace retorted, "How I''ve been has nothing to do with you. Just focus on living your own life. Why are you so nosy? Got nothing better to do? "Excuse me."


    Grace passed by him coldly.


    Perhaps due to the alcohol, Den found himself struggling to keep hisposure as he watched Grace walk away.


    Back then, the time he spent with Grace was the best part of his youth, and his feelings for her were genuine. If it weren''t for Vivian deliberately tempting him, he wouldn''t have fallen for it.


    Now, after being married for many years, Den has realised just how much Vivian loved showing off.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    Thinking about it now, Grace was still the better choice. She was not into showing off orparing herself to others.


    "Grace, I know you''ve been single all these years because you''ve been waiting for me...


    What the?


    "


    Grace felt utterly disgusted, as if she had swallowed something dirty. Her throat tightened, and she couldn''t speak a word because of the nausea. While her decision not to marry did have some indirect rtion to Den, it was mostly because Grace wanted to devote herself to the stage. She had no intention of getting married or having children, as it would affect her physique.


    She had longmitted herself to the stage and had no interest in romantic rtionships.


    Grace turned around, ready to p Den across the face.


    "What are you doing?!"


    On the nearby corridor, Vivian and a few friends were walking towards them. They were shocked to see Grace and Den embracing. Vivian''s face turned ashen, and she red at Grace.


    Den realised the situation and quickly let go of Grace.


    "Vivian, it''s not what you think," he hastily exined.


    Vivian''s lips trembled with anger as she strode forward, raising her hand to p Grace across the face.


    Grace caught her hand, then swiftly delivered a p to Den''s face with her other hand.


    Smack!


    The crisp sound of the p echoed in the corridor.


    Den was dumbfounded.


    Everyone was dumbfounded.


    Vivian''s head buzzed with anger.


    Grace lightly shook her hand as if she had touched something dirty.


    "Vivian, you better keep an eye on your husband, who''s always acting horny. It''s disgusting."


    With that, she walked away.


    The imprint of Grace''s hand on Den''s face was quite prominent, making the scene look ridiculous.


    With so many people around, if this incident got out, he''d be in big trouble.


    Den quickly shifted all the me onto Grace.


    "Vivian, I was justing out here to smoke, and she was the one who initiated the hug. She even said she wanted to go to a hotelter. When I rejected her, she just held onto me tightly ... "


    Grace''s steps halted, and she turned to look at Den.


    Now, not only did she find him disgusting, but he also lowered her opinion of him as a person.


    "So that''s how it is. Grace, you''re just


    despicable. Den is Vivian''s husband, and you''re out here trying to seduce someone else''s husband? What kind of person does that make you? You''re a forty-year-old woman, and you''re stooping to such


    shameless acts. It''s take


    disgusting!"


    Vivian''s friends joined in, adding their usations against Grace.


    Violeta and her two friends realised the situation wasn''t favourable out on thewn, so they hurried back to the hotel.


    Earlier, they had witnessed everything on the terrace. It was clear that Den was shamelessly the one who initiated hugging Grace.


    Soon, Violeta and her friends arrived at the scene, expecting Grace to be outnumbered and bullied.


    But, to their surprise, Grace wasn''t bullied at all. Instead, she started arguing with them.


    "Yuck! If your eyes can''t see right, you might as well pluck them out of your faces!"


    "Den''s got a belly, and he''s


    balding, looking like he''s sixty even


    though he''s not. Who''d fall for him? Who wants to hit on him? Even if I''m not caught, I still get attention just by walking down the street. See those two truckloads of rose perfumes? They''re gifts from my admirer. Why would I bother with him?


    "Am I just as desperate as you all, or do I have as low a taste as you do?"


    In Grace''s opinion, Den wasn''t worth anything.


    Vivian''s face turned red with anger.


    "My Den isn''t someone you can badmouth like that!"


    Grace said, "Yeah, sure, then why don''t you just take your Den back home and lock him up? Stop embarrassing yourself in public."


    Den hadn''t expected to be seen


    like this in Grace''s eyes. He felt a bit resentful. "Grace, don''t act


    shameless. It was you who just said you couldn''t forget about me and that you''ve been single all this time waiting for me. I rejected you, but you''re still unwilling to let go and even followed me here."


    Hazel and Nydia stepped forward upon hearing this.


    "Seriously, we''ve seen people who boast, but we''ve never seen pigs sticking shit on their own faces. Do you even hear yourself? Who in their right mind would like a pig that stands up?"
