She Flash-Married To His Rival

Chapter 5

Alfie left Moira at the altar and was shot to be intimate with Claire. Moira went from being the most envied girl to the joke in town.

People made all kinds of comments about this on the internet. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

[I thought they were so in love. Childhood sweethearts for twelve years is just Moira's wishful thinking.]

[The most pathetic bride ever. A running broom and a car accident. It's a double whammy!]

[This is what happens when you marry for money and benefits. They have known each other for years. If Alfie cared a little about her, he would not run away from the wedding. I even think he was avenging her.]

Whether online or in reality, Juliet could see people implicitly discussing Moira. She deliberately hid Moira's cell phone and iPad that day in case Moira saw any of them.

Moira knew what she did. She did not ask Juliet for her cell phone. She just let her read those malicious remarks on Instagram to her.

Juliet thought she was crazy. "Are you out of your mind? Those crazy dogs would bite anybody!"

Moira, however, looked at Juliet calmly. "How am I supposed to learn the lesson if it doesn't hurt?"

It had been twelve years, and she was finally waking up from her dream. She was afraid that she would forget the pain if she didn't rub some salt into the wound.

Juliet's heart sank. She felt for Moira. "Moira, well ..."

Moira didn't care. "Big deal. Life is not always easy. "

She had a point. So, Juliet gave her the cell phone. She couldn't read the comments to Moira.

Moira took the phone and logged in to Twitter. Right. It had been on Twitter.

Moira could feel the malice from those comments even behind the screen. She felt uncomfortable at first, but the more she read, the more sober she was, as if she was not reading comments about her life.

Moira had five broken ribs, a broken leg, and bruises on her arms and back from the car accident. After more than one month, she was allowed to go home.

Barclay came to the hospital to pick her up in person on the day she was discharged. She hadn't seen him since she asked him to marry her.

As she got more and more sober, she realized just how much of a jerk she had been that day. So, she was a bit embarrassed to see Barclay today.

Aiken was not surprised to see Barclay here. After all, he was the driver. And Juliet thought Barclay was a decent man who was also a victim in the accident.

Aiken greeted Barclay and then went to check out for Moira.

Juliet went to fetch Moira's examination reports, and Barclay and Moira were soon left in the ward.

Moira's fractured calf was still not completely healed. She was sitting in a wheelchair.

He was tall, and she needed to lift her head to see his eyes. "Mr. Covington, the request I mentioned last time..."

"I've been thinking about it," he said, crouching and picking up her slipped blanket. "My answer is yes."

Moira looked at him incredulously. "Mr. Covington, I didn't mean..."

At this moment, Barclay's cell phone rang. "I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow, and we'll go to the city hall."

He made a direct decision and said, "There is an emergency at the company." Then, he left.
