Chapter 54
Indeed, this scar was a result of my being attacked.
Adam immediately frowned, his nose wrinkling in disgust.
“Debra, how’d you get this scar?” he asked me in a low voice.
Fortunately, I was able to come up with a plausible excuse.
“I got into a car accident before.
I didn’t have the money to have the scar removed…”
Adam looked at me suspiciously.
“You’d better not be lying to me.
” Maybe he didn’t believe me because there wasn’t anything about a car accident in the background information I had submitted to him.
“Why would I lie to you?” I asked, pretending to look aggrieved.
Sure, this excuse wasn’t perfect, but everything had happened so quickly that I couldn’t think of a better lie.
Adam didn’t say anything more.
He just looked into my eyes searchingly and then said gruffly, “Well, what’re you waiting for? Cover it up now! You’re embarrassing me!”
I looked around and found that many people were staring at me, whispering about my hideous scar.
My body stiffened for a moment.
I felt extremely embarrassed, so I immediately knelt down to pick up the shawl on the floor.
But before I could grab it, a red high-heeled shoe with small diamonds stepped down on the shawl.
When I Looked up, I saw a beautiful red dress, then a slender neck, and lastly, Janiya’s beautiful face.

Although I disliked Janiya, even I had to admit that she was gorgeous.
In her bright red dress, she looked Like a blooming rose.
But her malicious smile ruined her delicate image.
“Whoops! My bad.
”
Looking down at me, Janiya smiled wickedly.
“I accidentally stepped on your shawl.
You’re not mad at me, are you?”
“Not at all!” I held back my anger, forced a smile, and tried to yank back the shawl.
But the next second, I heard the sound of fabric ripping.
The shawl was torn by her sharp heel.
My mind went blank for a few seconds.
What would Adam do if I had to show this ugly scar to everyone here for the rest of the night? Would he feel humiliated?
Embarrassment, nervousness, and anger overwhelmed me in an instant.
I felt desperate at the thought that Adam might fire me as soon as we left this dinner.
“Oh, Gosh! I’m so clumsy! I’m sorry, Debra.
I didn’t mean to rip your shawl,” Janiya apologized to me insincerely, feigning an innocent expression,
The gloating smile on her face made me grit my teeth.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
If it weren’t for the circumstances, I would’ve ripped her to shreds on the spot.
