Chapter 159


    I turned my gaze towards Jan and shifted the focus to him, aiming to widen the rift between these


    two.


    “Jan, did I do anything wrong?” I looked assertively at Jan, who looked ghastly pale.


    “Who was I doing this for? You were the one begging me on your knees just now. I stood here,


    swallowing my pride, speaking words against my heart for the sake of ourpany, and for our


    children! Tell me, where did I go wrong?” I pointed an usatory finger at Jan.


    Jerome red at me venomously. “Don''t you dare y your little tricks with me! You’ll be sorry!”


    I snorted, “Tricks? As far as I see it, you two are the ones ying tricks. You both know damn well


    who''s been fooling around with Marissa! So, Jerome, you''re saying that you don''t mind the world


    knowing that you and your dear brother are jointly supporting a little bitch?”


    “You are theughing stock of the town, aren''t you? Are the brothers of Medsafe Liyah Inc. so hard up


    that they need to pool resources to keep a mistress? I even feel ashamed for you guys. If you''re short


    of money, I can pitch in, but just don''t keep her!”


    “Aaliyah, one more word! I’ll tear your damn mouth!” Jerome advanced towards me, but Jan stepped


    in to block him.


    “What? Since the media is still out there, you want me to announce it to them again? Surely, the lead


    man is not just you, but also your dear brother!” I shot a provocative look at Jerome. “You''re not even


    afraid of catching AIDS!”


    “Bloody hell! You bitch! I swear I''ll kill you!” Jerome cursed violently, my words stinging him.


    I chuckled. “Jan, didn''t you hear him? He''s sleeping with your mistress and threatening to kill your


    wife. Are you some sort of coward? Shit! My family spends money only to nurture a bunch of ungrateful


    wretches. As soon as you''re sated, you don''t hesitate to turn around and bite the hand that fed them!”


    Iughed at the sight of the Dawson brothers, their faces red with fury.


    “Funny. Let me tell you this. I couldn''t care less about the fate of Medsafe Liyah Inc. Without it, I''m still


    rich. I want to see how you Dawson brothers would strut around then.” As I finished, I stoppedughing


    and looked at them disdainfully. “Don''t you ever forget that before I married into the Dawson family, you


    were all living hand to mouth and sleeping in the same room like a pack of rats.”


    Jesper, who had been silent, finally spoke, “Enough, Aaliyah, you''re crossing the line!”


    I shot him a look. “Am I? Jesper, don''t forget how you''ve finished your education. Now you say I’m


    crossing the line? Oh, you think you are a badass now? Feeling high and mighty?”


    My words left Jesper speechless. Even Jessica, standing by my side, red at me in rage.


    I waved dismissively, “Let Medsafe Liyah Inc. crash then! All of you will be screwed. I''d love to see


    where you will get your fucking money to keep a whore! I’d love to see how you are going to draw the


    public’s attention with a god-digger bitch who seduces men for money!”


    As soon as I finished, Jerome raised his hand, aiming a p at me.


    I was scared and closed my eyes, bracing for the hit, but it never came. I opened my eyes, seeing a


    tall, gentlemanly man holding Jerome''s wrist, looking at him calmly. “Mr. Dawson, think twice!”

    I guessed this must be Caleb.


    Jan finally erupted, “Enough, Jerome! I''m still here, and you dare toy a finger on her? Don’t you


    think you’ve gone too far?”


    Jerome shook off Caleb''s hand, pointing at me. “Aaliyah, just wait and see. One day, I''ll shut you up.”


    I gave him a disdainful look. “Well, you''ll have to wait until I''m dead!”


    With that, I made no effort to prolong the confrontation, walking out and mming the door behind me.
