Ecstacy of the Heart

Chapter 8 Get Lost!

Things would always become ugly when two nemeses met.

That woman who was calling Allison out was none other than the home-wrecker, Anna, who had

hooked up with her cheating ex-boyfriend, Julius, from back then.

Allison narrowed her eyes at this couple in front of her while snickering coldly.

“It’s been two years, and you’re finally looking more like a decent human being.”

Anna was wearing a revealing strapless short dress while Julius was wearing a sapphire blue suit.

They were both the prettiest and most handsome people in the finance faculty of John Hopkins

University, so their union was said to be a match made in heaven.

However, this only applied to them if one were to just look at them from afar.

When Julius heard Allison’s mocking words, his face immediately turned hideous. However, he

pretended to be polite when he replied, “Allison, this is not a place you should visit.”

Allison’s usual tender gaze suddenly became stern, “Why shouldn’t I visit this place? Does this mall

belong to you?”

After saying that, Allison feigned being surprised by covering her mouth and putting on an apologetic

expression as she added, “Oh, I’m sorry. I think I’m mistaken. You are just a dog who has sucked up to

the Aniston family, so no matter what, this mall wouldn’t belong to you, Julius Clarkson.”

“Allison!” Julius howled at Allison as if his tail had been stepped on, and he could no longer continue

his forced façade of being a gentleman.

Seeing that Julius was seething with anger, Allison suddenly felt her mood become considerably better.

Julius hailed from an unknown town, and his parents were just ordinary workers.

In the beginning, Allison had chosen to be together with Julius because she admired his talent and wit.

She didn’t mind one bit about his poor origin.

However, what happened next was out of her expectation. By the time they were graduating, he had

sucked up to Anna Aniston who was the young lady of Aniston Constructions Co., Ltd. He was instantly

transformed from a wild duck into a phoenix.

At that moment, Anna who was just watching them suddenly opened her purse and took out a huge

stack of cash in front of Allison.

Allison felt her breath caught in her throat as this familiar scene unfolded in front of her. Her face turned

pale all of a sudden.

Seeing that Allison was visibly shaken, Anna said smugly, “You pushover, it seems that your verbal

skills have improved a lot in the past two years.”

“However…” Anna’s mocking gaze hovered on Allison’s body before she continued, “Julius is right. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

This place does not befit someone who looks like a beggar.”

“Take this money and get lost!”

After making that declaration, Anna flung the stack of cash in her hands in Allison’s direction.

The bank notes fluttered around Allison after they hit her and fell down onto the floor.

This scene was exactly like all those years ago when she had caught Julius cheating in bed with Anna.

At that time, Anna had done the same thing by hurling cash on her as she told her to distance herself

from Julius.

She thought that she had long let go of such matters, but when the exact scene was replicated, she

found that her heart began to ache for some reason. Her hands started to tremble in response to her

heart.

A huge slap was landed on Anna’s face and the sound reverberated slightly.

“You dare to hit me?” Anna was stunned for one moment before coming back to her senses.

She covered her face as she flew into a rage. She wanted to retaliate, but Allison who was obviously

taller than her still had the upper hand here.

Allison easily intercepted Anna’s careening hand as the latter tried to land a slap on her.

“Do you think that I’m still as the same as I was in the past? Do you think that I will continue to let you

humiliate me and do nothing in response?”

Allison’s menacing face somehow shocked Anna but that only lasted a moment. The next second, she

shouted at Julius who was now standing rooted to the spot with a frozen expression.

“Julius, why are you still standing there doing nothing? Don’t you think that you should help me since

this bitch has slapped me?”

Julius only snapped back to reality by then as he didn’t hesitate to step forward and raise his hand.

Allison wouldn’t be their match since she’s facing the two of them together.

Allison continued to mock him, “Julius, I have been thinking too highly of you, it seems. I really thought

that you’re a decent human, but in the end you’re nothing but a dog.”

“Allison, you ask for this!” Julius uttered vehemently.

Just as Julius’s slap was going to land on Allison’s face, a huge hand suddenly came out of nowhere

and grabbed Julius’ wrist.
