Chapter 13 It’s Your Fault!
“Ah!” Duffy let out a scream.
“Duffy!”
Serena’s face paled as she rushed to Duffy. “Are you okay?”
Duffy covered her face, her entire body trembling slightly as she stared at Valentina with wounded eyes, which were glistening with unshed tears. Her delicate features twisted in pain.
Valentina wondered, “What a drama queen! There she comes again!
“Isn’t she supposed to be out of town?
“How could she be here?”
Last night, Ethen called Valentina, saying that Duffy was injured and couldn’t attend Edwin’s cocktail party. But Duffy looked so energetic, without a trace of injury in sight.
A disdainful smile tugged at the corner of Valentina’s mouth.
“What’s going on?”
A male voice came. Valentina knew who it was.
“Luciano, there you are! Valentina fought Duffy over the dress and ended up slapping Duffy’s face!”
At the sight of Luciano, Serena tattled in glee.
“Mr. Stanton…”

Aurora Group had cooperations with these luxury brands, so the salesgirl recognized Luciano instantly. She couldn’t help but get a little nervous and immediately stopped what she was doing.
“Duffy, are you all right?”
As soon as Luciano heard this, a trace of nervousness immediately rose in
his eyes. He quickly reached out and gently held Duffy’s shoulder, carefully checking her face, for fear that she was hurt.
“Luciano. I…”
Duffy covered her face, and tears welled up as she gazed at Luciano.
Her fragile, pitiful act made Luciano’s expression tighten. He whipped his head toward Valentina before snapping, “Valentina, what on earth do you want? I’ve told you it has nothing to do with Duffy. Why did you hurt her?”
Valentina’s eyes were cold as well. Without the slightest fear, she calmly met Luciano’s eyes, with her bright red lips tightly closed.
Just her presence alone was enough to make Luciano feel an inexplicable.
pressure.
“Luciano, can you be more mature? You are always so easily swayed, believing whatever nonsense others feed you.”
Luciano was stunned. Complicated emotions flashed across his eyes.
Duffy noticed Luciano’s change, and her heart sank. So, she quickly grabbed Luciano and shook her head firmly. “I’m fine. Don’t blame Valentina. I was careless. There are still misunderstandings between you two. Don’t get so worked up.”
“But Valentina hurt Duffy. Luciano, look at Duffy. She can’t afford

injuries right now.”
Serena said anxiously.
Only then did Luciano gingerly take away Duffy’s hand. Seeing the red marks on her small face, he revealed a gloomy look. He then pulled Duffy protectively into his arms and glared at Valentina. “How vile can you be, Valentina? Have you lost your mind? If you have any problem, take it out on me! Why hurt an innocent person?”
His blind favoritism filled Duffy with smug satisfaction. She shot. Valentina a secret but triumphant glance before instantly reverting to her fragile act. “It’s all my fault… I should be more careful. If Valentina likes this dress, she can have it, as long as she is happy.”
Her voice dripped with forced sacrifice, further tugging at Luciano’s heartstrings.
“Duffy, don’t be afraid. Luciano, this kind of vicious woman is not worthy of being your wife!”
Serena said hatefully.
“Serena, don’t say that! Valentina, don’t be angry. I’ll give it to you…”
“You will give it to me? Duffy, could you stop acting so shamelessly delusional? I saw it first, tried it on first, and bought it. How is it that you are giving it to me?”
Valentina sneered, staring at the two people in front of her.
“A few days ago, you sent me a video to show off. Now you want to pretend to be a perfect and pitiful saint, but you fail. It makes me sick. Since you are so desperate for a man, I’ll give him to you. I have broken up with Luciano. Didn’t he tell you?”
“Chapter 114’s Your Fout!
As soon as Valentina finished, a glint flashed in Duffy’s eyes. Naturally, she was excited inside.
Duffy thought. “Finally, they broke up.
“What I have to do is wait for Luciano to make his move. After all, we are so compatible. If it weren’t for Valentina standing in the way, we would have been together long ago.”
Once that happened. Duffy would be the undisputed future Mrs. Stanton of Aurora Group.
With the connections and resources of the Stanton family, she could have anything she wanted.
However, as soon as Luciano heard this, his face immediately darkened. The sting of being dumped by Valentina was a direct blow to his pride.
Duffy had been paying attention to Luciano. As she noticed that his emotions were easily influenced by Valentina, a glint of coldness flashed across her eyes. Duffy quickly said, “How could it be? Valentina, there must be some misunderstanding between you and Luciano. I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault. Here you are. I’ll give it up. It’s all yours, okay? Please don’t be angry.”
“Of course it’s your fault. You wanted to compete with me, and my family. forced me to let you two be together. So I proposed to break up with him. You should always remember that you coveted your sister’s fiancé. I broke up with Luciano because of you. If it were not your fault, whose else. would it be?”
Valentina sneered. Her cold voice clearly reached everyone’s ears.
Duffy was at a loss for words, her eyes welling up with practiced tears as she tilted her delicate face up at Luciano. Her pitiful expression tugged at

his heart.
“Enough!”
Luciano coldly shouted. His icy eyes swept over Valentina, and then he turned to the salesgirl beside him. “Pack this dress up. We’ll take it.”
“But this lady bought this dress first…”
“If you don’t want to lose your job, just do as I say!”
Serena cut in with a sneer, her tone laced with warning.
The frightened salesgirl paled and hurried off to wrap the dress.
Luciano’s decisive protection filled Duffy with glee, though she made sure to feign hesitation. “This doesn’t seem right. Valentina wants it too…
“Someone like her doesn’t deserve to wear this dress. Moreover, what can she do wearing it? Admire herself behind closed doors?”
Serena sneered, with nothing but disdain in her eyes.
Luciano didn’t even bother to look at Valentina. He looked down at the scar on Duffy’s face and said lovingly, “Your injury has just healed. Why exhaust yourself like this? If you want something, just have it delivered.”
“Thank you, Luciano. I like this dress very much…”
There was a weak smile on Duffy’s face.
Her heart soared at the sight of Valentina being humiliated by Luciano.
“As long as you are happy. What else do you want to buy? I’ll stay with you.”
Chapter 13 H’s Your Fault!
“Okay. Since you are attending the event too, let me pick something for you.”
“Alright.”
Luciano’s eyes were full of gentleness and doting, which Valentina had
never seen before.
The end.
