Chapter 64.Â
“Thank you for managing the Marketing Department so well, my brother was able to enjoy the benefits, I would definitely remember this kindness.”Â
Juliette laughed freely.Â
Jovana looked like her soul had been sucked out, biting her lower lip till it bled, her shoulders shaking.Â
A tear gently rolled down from the corner of her eye…Â
Yeah, she gave it her all, worked herself to the bone, drank at business dinners until she got a stomach bleed, built up the Marketing Department from scratch, and then Armando just handed it over to someone else… and it was to his lover’s brother.Â
She looked at Juliette with red eyes, hate and anger churning.Â
Juliette’s heart skipped a beat, and she zoned out for a second.Â
It could spin right away.Â
The smile on her lips grew wider. Suddenly, she leaned close to her ear, gritted her teeth, and said in a vicious tone, “I really regret not letting those men take turns with you tonight!”Â
Hearing this, Jovana’s eyes trembled.Â
Sure enough, tonight she almost got bullied, and it had something to do with Juliette!Â
Juliette gritted her teeth and said, “Then take some photos of Ms. Atherton. With a figure as beautiful as Ms. Atherton’s, she’ll definitely go viral online!”Â
Pop!Â
A loud slap landed hard on Juliette’s face.Â
“Ah…”Â
Juliette was knocked off balance by the slap and almost fell to the ground.Â
She covered her aching cheek, tears streaming down, and her eyes looked so pitiful.Â
“Ms. Atherton, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have said those two people who kidnapped me were from San Diego, can you let me and my mom go? I won’t do it again…”Â
Jovana’s eyes turned sharp. Seeing how fake she acted, she guessed Armando must have come.Â
slightly glanced sideways.Â
She saw the man’s tall, straight figure right away.Â
It wasn’t too far or too close. He definitely saw her slap Juliette, and he also heard what she said.Â
At that moment, the man walked over with a gloomy face, “What are you doing!”Â
He opened his mouth with a cold question. Jovana’s chest twitched numbly…Â
Juliette’s lashes, wet with tears, kept trembling, and she looked so meek and gentle that it just made people feel sorry for her,Â

She touched her swollen cheek, tears shimmering.Â

“Mr. Dunbar, the two people who kidnapped me today weren’t from San Diego. I was anxious at the time. and said it wrong… They really weren’t from San Diego.”Â
Jovana’s eyes suddenly turned cold.Â
That sounded like denial, but the way she sounded so wronged, anyone else hearing it would’ve thought she’d been threatened or something.Â
Especially now, Armando was really sensitive to words like San Diego and Harland.Â
At that moment, after hearing those words, it was hard not to suspect that she had an affair with Harland.Â
Armando’s handsome face was so dark right now it looked like it could drip water, full of hostility, and the air around him seemed a few degrees colder.Â
Just now in the hospital room, when she asked about Harland, she could hear a hint of restraint in his “I believe you.”Â
But, how could a man put up with it again and again?Â
He gave her a meaningful look.Â
It weirdly felt so overwhelming I couldn’t breathe…Â
Jovana felt both disappointed and sad, gripping the flesh of her palm tightly.Â
Juliette quickly picked up on the change in the man’s mood.Â
She sniffed.Â
“Mr. Dunbar, it was me who said the wrong thing just now…”Â
Juliette, you were really such a bitch! Did you just want to get slapped that bad?”Â
Jovana had a cold face and slapped her right away. Harland had helped her out of kindness, but not only did he get blamed for something he didn’t do, he also had to put up with suspicion from people like Armando.Â
Emotionally and logically, she couldn’t accept it.Â
She really didn’t care what Armando thought at all now, he could think whatever he wanted!Â
“Stop!”Â
Armando grabbed her wrist and stopped the slap that was about to hit Juliette….Â
In that moment, Jovana’s eyes suddenly turned red, and she felt a sting of humiliation in her nose.Â
She opened her eyes wide so the tears didn’t fall.Â
Juliette saw that, and a sly, proud look flashed in her eyes, shining with joy.Â
Armando was most bothered when Jovana was ambiguous with Harland.Â
Last time atÂ
Jasmine Manor, even though Jovana got lucky, she didn’t believe Armando would be that generous, not for a second!Â
