"Your sister seems to be doing a good job at that."
Jeremy Lawrence’s face turned livid with anger, his fists clenched and his whole body trembling.
If he didn’t have a rule against hitting women, he would have already punched Rebecca Kelloway in the face.
Being humiliated for no reason, even though he wasn’t the kind of person who liked to cause trouble, his anger was already unbearable.
What’s more, Rebecca Kelloway had just mentioned Joanna Lawrence.
Jeremy couldn’t tolerate anyone humiliating his sister.
It was even more unbearable than being cursed at face-to-face.
"Rebecca Kelloway, shut the hell up. My sister didn’t do anything to you. I’m telling you, I can take you humiliating me, but if you dare insult my sister, I’ll beat you even if you’re a woman!"
"My sister is a hundred times better than you, filthy-mouthed woman. You have no right to talk about her."
"And another thing." He took a deep breath, his clenched fists cracking, his eyes filled with anger as he glared at Rebecca Kelloway, gnashing his teeth, "I have no interest in your Kelloway family. Your so-called noble family is nothing but a joke to me."
"You think everyone is like you, taking these ridiculous things so seriously."
"Since your sister is already engaged, tell her to behave herself and stop pestering me. From the tenth to the twelfth grade, I’ve been fed up with her. Don’t even think I want to climb the ranks of your Kelloway family. Even if all the other women in the world were dead, I wouldn’t give a second glance to any women from your Kelloway family."
Jeremy Lawrence was absolutely furious.
He had no interest in Regina Kelloway whatsoever.
It was this annoying woman who kept clinging to him all the time, insisting that he be her boyfriend.
Now he was also insulted by her arrogant sister as if he were a beggar, and Jeremy’s anger was boiling over.
He could easily say things he didn’t mean when he was angry.
As soon as he had finished speaking, he saw tears welling up in Regina Kelloway’s eyes, her lips tightly pressed together, and a hurt expression on her face as she looked at him.
The tears slid down from the corners of her eyes and fell on her delicate, fair-skinned, pretty little face.
Her eyes were filled with disbelief.
She seemed unable to believe that Jeremy would say such things.
At that moment of eye contact, Jeremy hesitated for a second, an inexplicable sense of annoyance and regret rising in his heart.
He regretted his harsh words just now.
Although he had rejected Regina Kelloway many times, he had never spoken such cruel words before.
Such a delicate well-bred lady as her probably couldn’t bear such words.
Jeremy knew that his words had been hurtful.
The moment he saw Regina Kelloway cry, he felt a little regret.
But on second thought, it was for the best.
It was better to take this opportunity to make everything clear.
Since she didn’t take his previous gentle rejections seriously, it was better to make his words harsher.
She was, after all, a pampered well-bred lady. He couldn’t imagine her continuing to pester him even if she had no self-respect left.
With that in mind, Jeremy clenched his fists and steeled himself, "Regina, please leave me alone. Stop bothering me. I don’t want to carry the reputation of attaching myself to your noble Kelloway family. I have no interest in getting involved in your relationship with your fiance."
"I don’t have a fiance." Regina Kelloway said with tears streaming down her face.
She realized that this time, Jeremy was truly fed up with her, sick of her.
From now on, he would never pay her any attention again.
"It’s none of my business." Jeremy’s voice was cold, "From now on, if you keep bothering me, I won’t show you any respect."
Regina Kelloway bit her lip, unable to speak, as tears continued to stream down her face.
