Billionaire's Regret Finding Her (Caitlin and Sebastian) novel Chapter 461

Chapter 461

Chapter 461

The argument between Wendy and Reese quickly drew Caitlin’s attention. She stepped over, eyes fixed on the arrogant woman wanting to see exactly what she intended to do. Bullying her best friend? Not happening.

“Oh, are you not?” Reese sneered. “Have you looked in a mirror lately? With all that fat hanging off you, it’s honestly disgusting”

To drive the insult home, she flaunted her A4–sized waistline, clearly proud of her figure.

Wendy was furious. She didn’t want to waste breath on someone like Reese, and she definitely didn’t want to relive those childhood days of being mocked for her weight. She’d worked hard to slim down and had already made progress. Why did Reese still have to tear her down?

“Miss Nguyen,” Wendy snapped, “Did you forget to brush your teeth before leaving the house? Your mouth stinks. Sure, you’ve got a decent body, but your personality is straight–up garbage. Know that?”

“How dare you call me garbage?!” Reese’s delicate face twisted in fury. She raised her hand to slap Wendy–but before it could land, a hand clamped firmly around her wrist.

“What the hell are you doing? Let go!” Reese shouted.

Caitlin, face calm and unreadable, didn’t let go. Her voice was cold and sharp.

“Picking fights and throwing insults wasn’t enough? You’re actually going to hit someone now? What exactly are you trying to do–why are you bullying my friend?”

Her voice was deeper than usual, slightly altered. Even when Jillian looked over, she didn’t recognize Caitlin’s voice.

Reese yanked her arm back and barked,

“Who the hell are you? What business is it of yours? Butt–ugly people really do love making a scene!”

Smack!

Caitlin slapped her across the face without hesitation.

Reese clutched her cheek, stunned.

“You… you hit me!”

“And that’s me going easy on you. Try touching my friend again–I dare you.”

Caitlin’s stare was sharp enough to cut, her presence intense enough to crush. Reese, for a moment, actually backed off.

“What happened? Reese, she hit you?” Jillian hurried over, alarmed.

“It was her! This ugly bitch hit me,” Reese fumed, glaring daggers at Caitlin.

Wendy stood nearby, internally laughing. Reese really was digging her own grave. Calling Caitlin ugly? If she knew that “ugly” woman was the same Caitlin hailed by men all over New York as the most stunning woman in the city, she might just die on the spot from embarrassment.

Jillian jumped to Reese’s defense.

“What is wrong with you? You can’t just go around hitting people! Do you even know who she is?”

“Don’t care,” Caitlin said, her voice flat and low.

“You’ve got a hell of a mouth on you.”

Jillian was startled by how much this supposedly “ugly woman’s” attitude reminded her of Caitlin. Still, she couldn’t connect the don woman was dressed like a thrift store reject and looked hideous. No way they were the same person.

“Don’t bother arguing with them, Jillian,” Reese said venomously. “You people have no idea who you’re messing with. My cousin is one of the most powerful prosecutors in New York. You so much as breathe wrong, and I’ll have you arrested in minutes. Believe me?”

“Nope.”

“Fine! You asked for it.” Reese whipped out her phone and began calling her cousin..

Caitlin exchanged a quick glance with Wendy, silently reassuring her. Wendy wasn’t afraid. She’d seen what Caitlin could do. If Reese and her crew wanted to start something, they’d end up regretting it.

Piper, worried the scene was escalating too far, rushed over to smooth things out.

“Ladies, please! Let’s all calm down. Why don’t we head to our VIP lounge and cool off a bit? I’ll take care of everything”

She ushered Reese and Jillian into the VIP section and signaled Toni to bring tea and snacks.

Then she turned back to Caitlin and Wendy, her tone much less polite.

“You two–this situation is your fault. You didn’t buy anything and now you’ve offended our guests. I’m going to have to ask you to apologize and leave immediately. Otherwise, I’ll call security.”

“We’re not apologizing, and we’re not leaving,” Caitlin said coolly. “In fact, we’ll be staying a while. I’m curious to see how impressive her so- called cousin really is.”

She turned to Wendy and casually resumed browsing the racks.

Piper realized she couldn’t force them out, so she focused on pampering the VIP guests. She pulled out two fancy VERA–branded gift handbags and presented them to Jillian and Reese.

“These are complimentary handbags we’ve prepared for our valued customers. Please accept them as a token of our sincere apologies. Don’t let those nobodies ruin your day.”

!

Jillian and Reese accepted the gifts but tossed them aside without a second glance.

Seeing this, Caitlin strolled up to Piper and asked,

“Weren’t you just saying there were no free handbags left? How come they got some, but I didn’t?”

Piper didn’t even try to hide her disdain.

“Our handbags are reserved for guests with the right status and elegance. These ladies clearly meet that standard. You? You’d probably carry

it into some tacky little dump and ruin our brand image. People like you don’t deserve anything from VERA.”

Caitlin mentally took note. Excellent. She’s doing a thorough job demolishing her own career. Even if I wanted to help her, I couldn’t.

“And discriminating against customers like this–you’re not worried people might complain?” Caitlin pressed.

Piper scoffed.
