Chapter 484: Impressive Speech
Hayley’s POV: +8 Pearls
Kirsty spread her hands, her tone dripping with disdain as if she were some omnipotent deity. “Anyone with eyes can see the difference. When I stand next to Hayley, this ugly Omega, it’s obvious who’s more attractive and who’s taking advantage of whom. The answer is clear.”
For a moment, the watching crowd seemed swayed by her words. When they looked at me again, their gazes held a hint of pity.
Kirsty continued weaving her lies. “Everyone who’s met Hayley’s fiancé knows how perfect he is. The two of them don’t match at all. She only got lucky being chosen as his mate.”
“But now that he’s met me, he understands I’m the one who truly deserves him.”
I couldn’t help but laugh at how absurd her claims were. This woman was utterly delusional, spouting nonsense the moment she lost control. If she knew Benjamin was the Alpha of the Midnight Pack, I wonder if she’d still have the audacity to tell such blatant lies.
I didn’t rush to expose her lies. Instead, I replied calmly, “Your speech was quite impressive. You’d make a great public speaker. But I think you’ve misunderstood something. No one was talking about you just now. You’re the one who came running in and spilled everything yourself. How do you expect people to interpret that?”
Loretta, quick on her feet, chimed in, “Exactly. We weren’t discussing you at all. You exposed yourself!”
“I get it now. You’re nothing more than a gold digger, throwing yourself at playboys and even trying to seduce Hayley’s fiancé!”
“Don’t slander me!” Kirsty stomped her foot angrily, pointing at Loretta as she shouted, her words almost incoherent. “Hayley talks bad about people behind their backs, and you, her so-called friend, are just as despicable!”
I was about to defend Loretta when a deep, magnetic male voice cut through the air. “Watch your words.”
Hera, the wolf spirit inside me, stirred excitedly. I looked up and saw Benjamin, dragging a suitcase, walking toward us unhurriedly. He stopped in front of Kirsty, towering over her with an imposing Alpha aura. His voice was cold and authoritative. “What you just said constitutes defamation. I have every right to file a lawsuit on behalf of my fiancée.”
“Unless something unexpected happens, you’ll be receiving a court summons within a week. Apologize to my fiancée immediately and ask for her forgiveness.”
Benjamin didn’t spare her another glance, but the commanding tone in his voice left no room for argument. Kirsty hunched her shoulders, her head bowed in silence.
Benjamin’s gaze turned icy as he waited for her response. When she remained unresponsive, he narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “So, you’d prefer to face legal consequences?”
Kirsty’s head drooped even lower. She opened her mouth but couldn’t force out a word. I stood beside Benjamin, watching with interest to see how she’d react.
Suddenly, one of the girls in the crowd stepped forward and tugged at Kirsty’s sleeve.
