Chapter 135 - An Unexpected Twist

Chloe's POV

Before I could gather my senses and figure out who had yanked me so violently, someone dragged me across the floor by my hair. The grip was tight and unrelenting, making my scalp burn. My vision blurred as I tried to get a good look at my attacker.

"You think you can steal him from me? Who do you think you are?" The woman’s voice rang out, shrill and full of venom.

Before I could respond, Mason rushed forward, prying her hands away from my hair. "Ashley, stop it!" he hissed, dragging her back. She kicked and screamed, her wild eyes glaring at me with pure hatred.

By now, a few patrons at the bar had turned their attention toward us, whispering among themselves. I was still on the floor, momentarily stunned by the sheer absurdity of the situation. I rubbed my head, wincing at the pain, then slowly looked up.
