Chapter 54
Indeed, this scar was a result of my being attacked.
Adam immediately frowned, his nose wrinkling in disgust.
“Debra, how’d you get this scar?” he asked me in a low voice.
Fortunately, I was able to come up with a plausible excuse.
“I got into a car accident before.
I didn’t have the money to have the scar removed…”
Adam looked at me suspiciously.
“You’d better not be lying to me.
” Maybe he didn’t believe me because there wasn’t anything about a car accident in the background information I had submitted to him.
“Why would I lie to you?” I asked, pretending to look aggrieved.
Sure, this excuse wasn’t perfect, but everything had happened so quickly that I couldn’t think of a better lie.
Adam didn’t say anything more.
He just looked into my eyes searchingly and then said gruffly, “Well, what’re you waiting for? Cover it up now! You’re embarrassing me!”Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
I looked around and found that many people were staring at me, whispering about my hideous scar.
My body stiffened for a moment.
I felt extremely embarrassed, so I immediately knelt down to pick up the shawl on the floor.
But before I could grab it, a red high-heeled shoe with small diamonds stepped down on the shawl.
When I Looked up, I saw a beautiful red dress, then a slender neck, and lastly, Janiya’s beautiful face.

Although I disliked Janiya, even I had to admit that she was gorgeous.
In her bright red dress, she looked Like a blooming rose.
But her malicious smile ruined her delicate image.
“Whoops! My bad.
”
Looking down at me, Janiya smiled wickedly.
“I accidentally stepped on your shawl.
You’re not mad at me, are you?”
“Not at all!” I held back my anger, forced a smile, and tried to yank back the shawl.
But the next second, I heard the sound of fabric ripping.
The shawl was torn by her sharp heel.
My mind went blank for a few seconds.
What would Adam do if I had to show this ugly scar to everyone here for the rest of the night? Would he feel humiliated?
Embarrassment, nervousness, and anger overwhelmed me in an instant.
I felt desperate at the thought that Adam might fire me as soon as we left this dinner.
“Oh, Gosh! I’m so clumsy! I’m sorry, Debra.
I didn’t mean to rip your shawl,” Janiya apologized to me insincerely, feigning an innocent expression,
The gloating smile on her face made me grit my teeth.
If it weren’t for the circumstances, I would’ve ripped her to shreds on the spot.
