Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 428

Oscar frowned, his voice a low growl. "What's it to you?"

He barely knew Freya. They were just neighbors, nothing more. Yet here she was, reminding him of his family rule.

He shrugged off her hand, recoiling from her touch. Freya flushed, stung by the rejection.

Tomas, overhearing, stepped in. "Oscar, that's no way to talk to a lady. Don't worry, Freya. I'll have a word with him."

But his chivalry only fanned Freya's humiliation. She stormed off, finding Debra in the dance studio. She marched up, hand raised to strike, but Debra caught her wrist.

"What's your problem?"

Freya, always the picture of calm, was unraveling.

"You're shameless. Stringing men along, and now you're after Oscar too?"

She tried to wrench free, but Debra held firm. "I don't know what you're talking about. Are you jealous?"

Her words hit a nerve, and Freya's face darkened.

"I..."

Ashley bristled, about to say something, but Debra grabbed a towel and headed out, hoping the female trainees' efforts later would distract Edgar from causing trouble for her and Oscar.

Stimulated by Debra's words, the trainees did their best to touch up their makeup and put on their best outfits during the lunch break.

The studio was a sea of sequins and lipstick. Edgar, upon entering, felt like he'd walked into an exclusive club.

Henry, pleased with the well-prepared trainees, couldn't help but clear his throat when he saw his daughter also dressed up nicely.

He said, "Eve, come meet Mr. Odom."
