Sorry Sir I Don’t Want You Back by Little Angelic Devil

Standing between the two men who were about to fight, Keith smiled and said in his usual calm manner, "Please, gentlemen, let's not fight. Both of you are famous CEOs. What would people say if they knew about this?"

Cherise was relieved to see Keith. Even though she disliked most of Hudson's friends, she didn't dislike Keith. At least he never looked down on her and sometimes would engage her in a chat when Hudson brought her out to meet his friends once in a blue moon. But her relief was short-lived, as Finley, who had rushed after Keith suddenly pointed at Cherise and started shouting and mocking her. "You!" he shouted, his index finger pointing at Cherise. I should've known," he sneered. "You are just playing hard to get with Hudson. The moment you saw a chance, you tried to seduce him with your cheapness. How shameless of you!"

Logan's body began trembling with rage again, and Keith, who was usually calm, snapped at Finley, "Enough, Finley! Don't make matters worse!"

Finley couldn't let the chance to look down at Cherise slip away, so he kept sneering and glaring at her. "Just so you know, Hudson said he would marry Emely, who is a thousand times better than you!"ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"Finley!" Keith shouted at him, warning him to stop speaking. Why couldn't his friend have the sense to shut his mouth and stop hurting someone? They had just divorced. Cherise must feel bad hearing this.

But Finley, being the young master of the Myers family and a playboy who used to say whatever was on his mind, didn't heed Keith's warning as he kept ridiculing Cherise. "So stop daydreaming about getting back together with Hudson! You are just a slut who will spread your legs for anyone who is rich!"

"I dare you to say that again!" Logan roared, and his initial plan to attack Hudson had now changed. He lunged toward Finley, who didn't have a chance to fight back.

Keith hurriedly tried to stop Logan from going crazy and wanting to kill Finley.

When Cherise heard about Hudson's impending nuptials with Emely, she let out a gasp of pain soft enough for others not to hear except Hudson, who was standing very close to her. She knew Hudson would eventually marry Emely, but hearing it from his best friend made her heart feel like being pierced by thousands of needles.

She thought she had gotten over her love for Hudson, but she guessed a three-year deep love for the man wouldn't just disappear instantly.

"Everything I said was true!" Finley, despite Logan punching him a couple of times, was still stubborn.

"Shut up!" Hudson roared at his friend. Even if he always thought Cherise was a gold digger, he couldn't stand hearing such cruel words. A slut? He had thought about it himself, but due to his upbringing, he couldn't say those kinds of words to and lady, much less to his ex-wife!

Cherise lowered her eyes so no one could see the pain in them, and her lips curved into a bitter smile. She swore this would be the last time she would let herself feel hurt by Hudson and everyone around him. "Logan, let's go," she said calmly, walking toward him.

"Cherise!" Hudson grabbed her wrist as she passed him by. He knew Finley's words would have hurt her feelings, but he didn't understand why he was doing what he did now. He just felt uncomfortable and wanted to make sure she was alright.

When Cherise looked at him, the pain in her eyes had gone, replaced by coldness. "Unhand me, Mr. Amery or your friend will say I'm seducing you again, and your fiance wouldn't like to hear it," she mocked and shook his hand away.

Hudson felt a strong sense of frustration as he looked into her cold eyes. He subconsciously still expected to see the love she always had for him, like when they were still married, and maybe tears because it was natural for her to feel hurt by Finley's words, but all he could see was calm, icy coldness, and he let her hand go.

"You are lucky I'll let you go this time," Logan growled before he let go of Finley's collar, shoving him back in the process, sending Finley tumbling to the ground.

"Cherise, Mr. Jennings, Please accept my apology. My friends are drunk," Keith, being the peacemaker, naturally apologized for his best friends' rude behaviors and words.

Cherise gave him a faint smile while Logan ignored him as they left.

Finley snorted and uttered, "Look at them! Birds of a feather. I can't believe Logan Jennings, who's usually calm and composed, would defend that slut. Her service in bed must be top-notch."

"Enough!" Hudson snapped, and his whole demeanor became cold, like a king about to execute his general who had betrayed him. Truthfully, he would have punched Finley, too, if his mind wasn't filled with Cherise right now.

He turned around and returned to their VIP room, while Finley stared at him in confusion. "What's wrong with him? He used to stay quiet whenever I laughed at his ex-wife."

Keith patted his shoulder and said, "You should learn to shut your mouth and stop meddling in someone else's business or spouting nonsense." He then followed Hudson, leaving Finley feeling puzzled.

Did his best friends fall under Cherise's spell, too, after seeing her dance? It shouldn't have been. Hudson had always hated Cherise, and although Keith was never truly against her, he should have a better standard for women. Too lazy to think about it, he ran after his two best friends. "Hey, wait for me!"

Cherise walked back toward the dance floor, not wanting to worry Erika, but Logan gently stopped her. "We should do something about your wound first," he reminded her.

Being reminded of her reopened wound, Cherise looked at it and saw the dried blood. "I think I'll go to the restroom to tend to it."

Logan, being her knight in shining armor, naturally followed her after the altercation between Cherise, her ex-husband, and his friends and stood guard outside the door.

Inside the restroom, Cherise quickly and efficiently cleaned her wound, reapplied the ointment, and tidied up her appearance. Her lips were swollen after being kissed by a beast called her ex-husband, so she reapplied her lipstick to mask it. After ensuring she looked alright, she left the restroom.

"Cherise, are you alright?" Logan showed his concern.

"I'm fine," Cherise replied casually.

"They were too much. You should stay away from those bunch of losers in the future." Logan didn't want Cherise to be hurt by them again. It pained him to see her being hurt by anyone. Even if her family hurt her, he wouldn't hesitate to go against them despite their kindness toward him.

"They won't be able to hurt me from now on," Cherise said, smirking. "Don't forget I'm the heiress of the Alster family. Soon, they'll know what revenge feels like."

Logan laughed and rubbed her head dottingly, saying, "That's my girl. And don't forget I'm the powerful CEO of the Jennings Group. I'll always back you up."

Cherise stopped in her tracks and looked at him. "Logan, thank you for standing up for me just now," she said sincerely.

"I'll always protect you," he smiled.

"Oh, and please don't tell Erika about what had happened. I don't want to worry her," Cherise made Logan promise her, and Logan, being loyal to her, agreed to her request.

Erika, despite being seductive, was also protective of Cherise. If she knew what had transpired, she might most likely march into Hudson's VIP room and slap both Hudson Finley, but it wouldn't be good for her. She would only suffer if she went against the Amery and Myer families. Her background wasn't as strong as Cherise and Logan's.

She would only suffer if she went against the Amery and Myer families. Her background wasn't as strong as Cherise and Logan's.

Unlike before, the atmosphere inside the VIP room was a bit tense. It was so quiet and cold that Finley didn't dare make a sound.

After coming back, Hudson didn't even care to use a glass. He took a bottle of Whiskey and drank straight from it. Keith could only sigh when he looked at his friend in this condition.

"Are you sure you want to marry Emely?" He broke the silence in the room.

Finley opened his mouth to reply for Hudson but clamped it back when he saw Keith glaring at him. He really didn't know what he did wrong, but seeing his two best friends being so serious, he knew better than to interrupt them. And his body was in pain because of that damn Logan!
