Chapter 54
"That wasn't what I meant." Anna hastily shook her head.
"I'm not interested in what you're implying, but I would like to know why exactly you were about to hit my fiancée in front of everyone here."
"Fiancée?" Anna's face froze completely as she asked in disbelief. "How is this possible? S-She's your fiancée?"
Courtney was also stunned. She hadn't thought that Alexander would say that in front of such a crowd.
"What's impossible?" Alexander wrapped an arm around Courtney's shoulders, looking all leisurely as he did. "Who else would be my fiancée, if not her? You?"
Anna pressed her lips together before asking mutinously, "In that case, why didn't she say so earlier?"
Courtney snapped back to her senses right then and immediately fired back. "Did you give me a chance to speak? You and Vanessa had been doing all you could to make me look bad in front of everyone. Would you have allowed me to explain myself?"
"I didn't mean that, not at all." Vanessa quickly cut in. It was as though she was fearful of earning
Alexander's ire.
However, Vanessa's words seemed to have let something slip, for Anna shot a glare at her.
Now that Courney had Alexander here to back her up, she was more confident.
"Alex was just a little busy-that's why he's late. You kept cornering me without letting me breathe; not only that, you tried to take your temper out on me over a grudge or something. Weren't you trying to humiliate me? Aren't you guys my sister? My best friend? I really have to thank my lucky stars for being able to meet vou two."
