Today is Another Hopeful Day!
Hearing the name Sherisa Noel, Anna’s originally haughty expression instantly changed.
She had never met Sherisa Noel before, but it was impossible for her not to have heard of her.
As the future heir of the Noel family, Sherisa was someone many young nobles wanted to get to know.
However, Anna’s family wasn’t powerful enough to qualify for the Noel family’s banquets.
Anna had originally thought she could rely on the Rumelter family to infiltrate the upper-class circles and then get to know Sherisa.
If she could latch onto Sherisa’s influence, she would truly never have to worry about food or clothing.
But she never expected her first meeting with Sherisa would be in such an awkward situation.
Gina was also breaking out in a cold sweat.
The moment she saw the intimate scene between Sherisa and Henry, she began to regret her actions.
Why did she have to speak up for Anna?
But it seemed there was no cure for regret in this world. More importantly, she had completely offended Henry.
Listening to Sherisa’s saccharine words, Henry got goosebumps all over.
Yet, he didn’t shake off Sherisa’s intimate gestures. After all, she was helping him save face; he couldn’t be ungrateful.
“I just came to buy a suit. I didn’t expect to run into trouble,” Henry shrugged, looking somewhat innocent.
In fact, Henry really was quite innocent. He just stepped out to buy clothes and got tangled up with a self-entitled ‘fairy’, and there was even a brainless shop assistant backing her up. It was simply aggravating.
“Oh? And who is this?” Sherisa inquired.
“My ex-fiancée, Anna.”
Hearing that this was Henry’s former fiancée, Sherisa narrowed her eyes, a dangerous glint flashing within them.
Although she had inquired about Anna before, this was their first meeting.
She never expected the other party to be such a proud individual. Could it be that Henry used to like this type of goods? Was he perhaps an M?
Henry naturally had no idea Sherisa was having such strange thoughts.
He found a spot and casually sat down, quietly watching Sherisa take the stage.
Sherisa crossed her arms over her chest, radiating a powerful aura that forced Anna to retreat step by step.
“So you’re Anna. I was wondering which tasteless woman broke off the engagement with Henry. Now I see, she truly has no vision. But thanks to you breaking it off, I got the chance to get close to Henry.”
“Sh-Sherisa… Miss Sherisa, the Rumelter family acknowledges my engagement with Henry, so I am still his fiancée!”
“The Rumelter family acknowledged it?” Sherisa covered her mouth in exaggerated surprise, as if she had heard something unbelievable.
She turned her head to look at Henry, a trace of confusion in her tone. “Did you reconcile with the Rumelter family?”
“Ask me that again after Lore is dead, alright?”
“Then how can the Rumelter family meddle in your affairs? Are they relying on having thick skin?”
Sherisa turned back to look at Anna.
Anna’s face was flushed red, as if she was suppressing something.
Her fists were clenched, her breathing became somewhat rapid, and her legs wouldn’t stop shaking.
“Miss Sherisa, this matter is between Henry and me. It has nothing to do with you.”
“Who says Henry has nothing to do with me? My mother has acknowledged Henry’s status, so naturally, he is my person.”
From a factual standpoint, Sherisa wasn’t wrong.
Henry was acknowledged as a disciple by Reina. Since her mother acknowledged him, of course she had to take care of him, so naturally, he was her person.
This line of logic was completely sound in Sherisa’s mind.
But to others, it sounded entirely different.
Anna’s mouth slightly opened, her eyes filled with disbelief.
She couldn’t believe that Henry had really latched onto a wealthy patron. And, more importantly, his partner was actually the young lady of the Noel family!
For a moment, she had the impulse to flee this place immediately.
But her insignificant dignity forced her to stand her ground.
“Even if you say that, you can’t change the fact that Henry used to like me!”
As Anna said this, a somewhat smug look appeared on her face.
It seemed as if Henry having liked her once was some incredible achievement, something even Sherisa now possessed only because she, Anna, had discarded it.
However, upon hearing these words, the smile on Sherisa’s face gradually disappeared.
She walked straight up to Anna, her voice calm.
“So, him having liked you is something laughable? In my opinion, only someone completely devoid of dignity would bring up such a thing. Because you are utterly unworthy of Henry’s sincerity. Just like how you can only stand here now, speaking to me with your utterly insignificant dignity, you are also utterly unqualified to speak with me.”
At this moment, Sherisa displayed her pride to the fullest.
She snapped her fingers.
Soon, several bodyguards poured in from outside the store.
They surrounded Anna, encircling her completely.
“I forgot to tell you, this clothing store belongs to the Noel family’s business. From now on, all Noel family establishments will permanently blacklist you.”
A faint smile appeared on Sherisa’s face.
Yet, this smile made Anna’s legs go weak, to the point where she could barely stand steady.
She suddenly realized that she had thoroughly offended Sherisa!
If her father found out, he would surely skin her alive!
No, she couldn’t just be thrown out like this!
She instinctively shifted her gaze to Henry.
Only Henry could help her now. As long as he was willing to speak up for her, she would satisfy any of his demands, including marrying him!
“Henry! Help me, didn’t you like me the most?”
Several bodyguards grabbed her arms and dragged her out.
Meanwhile, Sherisa walked up to Henry and deliberately planted a kiss on his cheek right in front of Anna.
Anna watched, tears streaming down her face, as if her husband had been snatched right from under her nose!
In the end, Henry only heard Anna shout: “I’ll make you change your mind, Henry!”
Her voice wasn’t much different from a pig being slaughtered.
He really didn’t know what the original owner of this body was thinking, daring to want a woman who just leeched off him and sucked him dry.
Not like him.
He remembered playing a gold-digger dating sim once, forgot the name. He just recalled that at the start, a girl asked him for help, he saved her, and she would always tell him, “Today is another hopeful day!” Then, just like that, his youth and money were gone.
Recalling those days, it really was a day full of ‘hope’.
“Hmm? What are you thinking about? Are you still lost in the sensation of my fragrant kiss?”
Sherisa’s voice sounded by Henry’s ear.
She draped her arms over his shoulders, her hands resting on his abs, her fingertips occasionally playing with them, seeming to enjoy the feeling.
“No, I was just thinking if your staff training might be insufficient.”
“My fault, I forgot to tell you this whole street is part of our Noel family’s business.”
Sherisa sneakily nibbled on Henry’s earlobe.
This scene caused the other shop assistants to quickly turn away.
They didn’t dare watch the boss flirt.
“Oh, right. And that shop assistant named Gina, you’re fired. The Noel family’s businesses don’t need people like you who fawn on those in power.”
“W-Wait, boss, I have my reasons…”
“Take it up with the HR manager.”
Sherisa waved her hand, signaling the others to clear the area.
Soon, the entire clothing store was empty, leaving only her and Henry.
“By the way, why are you buying a suit?”
“To visit Crown Princess Jessica, see how she’s doing.”
Hearing Jessica’s name, Sherisa pursed her lips, looking somewhat hurt.
“Hmm~~ Mentioning another woman in front of me, isn’t that a bit inappropriate~~”
