Chapter 1374
Chapter 1374:
"Who do you think you are, looking at me like that? Pay up now, or you're not going anywhere today!"
"Go away! You're the one who should be paying. If you don't stop this nonsense, I'm calling the police!" Caitlin retorted, feeling wronged. She knew that if she raised her voice, Kallie would hear her and probably support her.
But Caitlin held a grudge against Kallie. She blamed Kallie's scandalous lifestyle for this debacle she was in. And why hadn't Kallie informed her about the dress's cost or the designer's name? Kallie had left her in the dark, taught her nothing, and still insisted on bringing her to such an event-was it just to humiliate her? Even if Kallie intervened, it would likely be just for show. Given the choice, she would rather not have that kind of help at all.
Tears of shame welled up in Caitlin's eyes as she faced the woman. Her voice trembled, but she tried to sound threatening.
However, it was clear that the woman was not intimidated by Caitlin's threats. Instead, she seemed satisfied seeing Caitlin on the verge of tears.
The woman patted Caitlin's cheek and said coldly, "Do you wonder why I'm bothering you? If you need something to blame, blame your resemblance to Kallie. I despise..."
"Kallie. Watching someone with a face similar to hers suffer brings me joy. Understand? Go ahead and call the cops. Let's see if they even care about you!"
The woman continued her assault. Slash! A button on Caitlin's dress was torn off.
Fury overtook Caitlin, and she slapped the woman forcefully.
The woman scowled, caught off guard by Caitlin's retaliation.
Just then, a calm male voice cut through the chaos.

"What's all this commotion? Didn't I make it clear when I brought you here that you were to avoid trouble? If you're stirring things up, you'd better leave."
Despite the sternness of his words, the soothing and calm tone made it difficult for Caitlin to hold onto her anger.
Caitlin noticed a man with a distinguished look and an upright posture approaching. This was the second man she had ever laid her eyes on with such good looks. The first was Jake. Although Jake was strikingly handsome, as if crafted by the gods themselves, his aura was intimidating, and his eyes carried a constant coldness. They only seemed to soften when they rested on Kallie.
But this man was different. His skin and appealing features made her feel an urge to smooth away the lines of concern etched on his forehead.
For a brief moment, Caitlin found herself nearly entranced, but she quickly looked away.
She watched as the earlier arrogant woman turned and burst into tears, throwing herself into the man's arms.
Holding onto his shirt, the woman's haughtiness was now replaced by an aggrieved look, and tears streamed down her face.
