Chapter 24 Get Your Filthy Hands Off Of Me!
Bianca called Jean.
However, Jean''s phone gave her the same message. "Sorry, the number you called is currently
unavable."
All of a sudden, Bianca felt uneasy.
She hoped that nothing bad had happened.
Next, she gave Nina a call.
Nina picked up in a sh, asking, "What''s the matter, babe?"
Bianca exined everything to her.
However, Nina said, "Maybe someone suddenly called her to y mahjong? You don''t know this, but
she keeps her phone in her bag when she''s ying mahjong, so she won’t be able to hear you. As for
my brother, he''s probably busy."
Since Nina said that, Bianca did not think too much of it.
Putting down her phone, Bianca walked to the bathroom and took a shower. That helped her brighten
up a lot more, and as she was drying her hair, she saw her phone ringing on the coffee table in the
living room.
The caller was Jean.
"Hello." Bianca picked up in an instant.
Jean was silent on the other end. After a long time, he seemed to hold something back before asking
coldly, "Bianca Rayne, how many men have you been sneaking around with behind my back?”
"What... What do you mean? Me, sneaking around with men behind your back?” It came out of
nowhere, so Bianca did not understand what he was saying.
Jean abruptly raised his volume, his voice hoarse as he said, "You''re still pretending to be innocent?!
Bianca Rayne, it suddenly feels like I don’t know you at all. Tell me, which is the real you?!" 1
Bianca had been holding her phone, but her hand tightened around it now.
Jean was still going wild with his words, loudly protesting the unfairness of it all. "Tell me, just who am I
to you? A ce youe home to after your games outside? An unlucky second-choice? The honest
type that’s just made to be cucked?" 3
Jean’s angry voice was like des of ice, flying through the phone and plunging into Bianca''s ears.
"Calm down for now. Are you sure you aren''t misunderstanding something?” Bianca frowned, her
expression far from pleasant.
Jeanughed coldly, almost cynically. "Misunderstanding? There''s no misunderstanding! Right now, I
just hate how stupid I''ve been. I can''t believe I''ve trusted you unconditionally for so long, I hate that I
didn''t believe what Marie said when we were overseas. Bianca, Marie wasn''t lying, was she? You slept
around with other men behind my back when we were studying overseas."
Jean''sst words were a statement, not a question.
Her partner, the man she was supposed to walk down the aisle to meet, was now doubting her integrity.
Could you imagine how that felt?
Bianca was so angry that her hand shook on her phone.
Before she could even say anything, Jean added viciously, "When we were overseas, you kept saying
when I invited you out, but those were all lies, weren''t they? Now that I think about it, there were so
many holes in your story! If you really were working several jobs at the same time like you said you
were, why didn’t I ever see any dark circles under your eyes?”
"So? If you think I was lying when I said I was working, what do you think I was doing?" Bianca''s frown
deepened.
Jean lowered his voice. "Do you really need me to spell it out."
"Say it. I want to hear it," Bianca said.
''You forced me to, so I''ll say it." Jean told her exactly what Marie told him four years ago. The
difference was he did not believe her back then."
You''ve had six men in those five years, four of them married! They kept you as their mistresses,
funding your studies and teaching you theirnguage. You even had an abortion for them, right?" 4
In that minute, that one second, Bianca felt her heart die.
She lowered her head and looked at the engagement ring on her finger, hot tears filling her eyes.
It had not even been a week since they got engaged, but now her fiance was using her of
unspeakable things across the phone.
Everyone knew how important a woman''s reputation was. He had no evidence at all, but just because
Marie spouted some nonsense at him, he one-sidedly decided that she was guilty of so many
charges...

Such tant distrust from her fiance hurt her as much as outright betrayal would.
Jean was still going on, interrogating her, asking her who the man outside her house had been, saying
that she could not deny that, because even the olddy in her neighborhood, Daisy, had seen them
with her own eyes!
Bianca wordlessly hung up the call. She did not want to hear another word.
Her phone rang.
Bianca let it ring.
She did not pick up.
She did not want to cry, and she was not devastated either. She was just tired... So, so tired.
Sitting on the couch, she pulled her knees to her chest and buried her face in them. She just wanted to
be an ostrich now, hiding her head in the sand.
Jean appeared in front of her five years ago, like the one silver lining in the storm clouds. He did not
feel real, but he was, and he made her think that maybe the sky was going to clear up.
That ray of light had seduced her, tempted her to walk out of her shade and stand under the thunder
clouds, 1
That ray of light made her a promise, telling her, ''Trust me. Stand here and wait for the sun. When the
sky clears, I’ll make your entire world shine."
She had looked at that light like a fool, waiting for the sky to clear, i
However!
The sky turned even darker all of a sudden, and it abruptly began to pour! 1
It felt as though she was the only one unlucky enough and stupid enough to get drenched, soaked and
cold from head to toe...
After a long time curled up on the couch, she fell asleep.
She only woke up when the stomach pain became too much.
Bianca had not eaten a single thing since the morning until now.
Putting on her clothes, she grabbed her keys and her wallet, leaving the house for a simple lunch. After
lunch, she did not want to go home either, so she suddenly decided to go for a walk around this familiar
yet unfamiliar city.
Maybe her mood would lighten if she went for a walk. Maybe she would be able to get over this. She
had barely swiped her card and gotten past the subway turnstiles when someone suddenly grabbed
her hand from behind.
Bianca turned around.
"Lil Sis, it really is you!" Marie Rayne grinned brightly as she looked at Bianca, i
"I hate that I didn''t believe what Marie said when we were overseas!"
Jean''s words rang out in Bianca’s mind like a thunderbolt.
Marie had ndered her to Jean, using her of something she had not done. Bianca did not doubt
for a second that Marie was capable of something so underhanded.
Bianca pulled her hand away. "Let go! Get your filthy hands off of me!"
"I''m filthy?" Marie’s lips curved, but she did not lose her temper. Instead, she continued keeping up
behind Bianca. When the subway doors opened, Marie squeezed into the carriage as well. 1
The subway doors closed.
Marie found her footing and said to Bianca, "Mom told me to invite you back home for a meal."
Bianca pretended not to hear her.
"Lady, your shoe is on my foot!" Marie suddenly looked down and addressed an older woman who was
seated nearby.
The woman on the seat was none other than Daisy, who had just boarded on this station and managed
to snag a seat, 1
When Daisy heard that Marie and Bianca shared a mother, she pulled her foot back and asked Marie,
"How old, child?”
''Twenty-six." Marie did not really want to talk to a backwater old woman like that.
The problem was that the subway waspletely crowned with people, so she was pressured to reply.
The older woman beamed and pretended to look envious as she said, ''You sure look young! I mean,
you look like you''re in yourte thirties, but you''re telling me your child is already twenty-six?"
''You-" Marie immediately looked livid.
The people around them could not hold in theirughter.
Marie''s face instantly turned maroon! She could not even confront a middle -aged woman like that in
front of all these people, so she could only swallow her anger! It felt like she was going to burst a blood
vessel!
