I Was Not a Nobody (by Jojo) novel Chapter 4

"Is that bracelet the same model as the 'Timeless Love' limited edition that Mr. Weyland spent a fortune to buy for his mate? Today is Mr. Weyland's Luna's first public appearance, and she shows up wearing a knockoff? Is she trying to embarrass our pack on purpose?"

"August, is this your friend?" another subordinate frowned and asked.

Noticing I hadn't once looked directly at him, August adjusted his tie and calmly replied, "No."

Hailey's expression lit up at his words, and she looked at me with smug superiority. "Take off that bracelet and get out!"

I looked at her indifferently and asked, "Are you sure you want me to leave?"

My calm expression only made her angrier. In her mind, I was supposed to be sobbing and apologizing, begging her not to kick me out.

Her eyes narrowed sharply, and she shouted, "Quit pretending! Take that bracelet off! Now!"

The next second, she lunged at me and tried to yank it off herself.

I slapped her hand away and instinctively stepped back to avoid her. But someone suddenly stuck out a foot. I was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

I was completely stunned.

Hailey stomped on my hand and ripped the bracelet straight off my wrist. "Only trash like you would treat this junk like it's something precious."

Pain shot up my arm, her heel grinding into my hand. My skin was torn open, blood mixing with dirt.

Yet, I just stared blankly at the broken bracelet and the scattered gemstones glittering across the floor.

"Pick her up and throw her out!" Hailey ordered arrogantly.

People immediately started to crowd around. As someone reached for my arms and legs, I quickly said, "Stop! I'm Mr. Weyland's…"

Before I could finish, Hailey slapped me hard across the face. "Oh, let me guess. You're about to spread that lie again? Claiming to be Mr. Weyland's Luna? Someone like you? Seriously?"

As if one slap wasn't enough, she slapped me again.
