Chapter 144: I am the sponsor
I remained unfazed by the sharpness in her tone and the malice swirling in the depths of her dark eyes. Instead, the corners of my lips twisted upwards in a smirk as my eyes danced with amusement, amused by her overflowing arrogance. I kept my gaze steady, never once tearing my eyes off her face as I spoke.
Raising a brow at her, I questioned her.
"What makes you think so? How sure are you? Haven’t you heard that –"
She cut me off rudely before I could even finish my sentence. She rolled her eyes dramatically as she clicked her tongue with an annoyed expression that was stretched across her face.
"Stop. I don’t care," she spat the words out like they were poison in her mouth. "I know what you are trying to do. I bet you came all the way down here to try and expose us, right?" She asked, the words that left her lips were dripping with accusation as she glared at me and her eyes were narrowed into thin slits.
A cold chuckle emerged from my throat this time. "Expose you? What are you talking about?"
She shoved me at my shoulder roughly with one hand.
"Don’t play dumb with me. I know exactly what you are doing," she sneered with a disdainful scorn but I didn’t budge, not even moving a single inch as I straightened my back and stared right into her eyes. "You must have heard about Blake making me the star of the new movie he is directing and you are trying to ruin things for us because you can’t stand to see your ex-husband and the woman he chose succeed. But I’m warning you, you better not tell anyone about my relationship with Blake," she warned through gritted teeth as her face darkened visibly.
There was a brief moment of pause as silence enveloped us both for a while before she continued.
