Chapter 72 Well Done, Julian
Jessy turned around and saw Alan smiling charmingly.
She was shocked. She followed his gaze and saw that he was smiling at Annalise.
Jessy’s anger suddenly surged.
She thought, “Annalise, that bitch! She has only written a few words. Is Alan blind?”
Feeling uncomfortable, Jessy slandered Annalise even more. She sat at another table and began to spread all kinds of rumors. “Hey, do you know Annalise? She used to have a boyfriend at Horington and was about to get married. When she met my cousin, Julian, she knew he was the young master of the Parks family and immediately dumped her ex-boyfriend,”
“Damn! She is too despicable and shameless.”
“That’s right. Oh, right, she hasn’t gone to school since she was young. She learned the couplets from the old people in the village. She only knows a few words on the couplets. She doesn’t know many other words.” “Also, this matter is a secret. You must not tell anyone. She lived with her boyfriend at Horington and even had aborted secretly.”
“What the fuck! Is this rumor true?”
“Shh! Don’t tell anyone.”
The other socialites were shocked.
Jessy quickly returned to her table.
Rumors quickly spread around the other tables. Everyone whispered, “Hey, did you know that Annalise Barton was indecent and had an abortion before marrying Julian?”
“Hey, do you know this? Annalise had two abortions before she met Julian.”
“Annalise had several boyfriends in the past and had several abortions.”
The rumors were getting more and more exaggerated…
Sybil, Henry, and the others sat at the table. When the rumors spread, Henry cursed. Sybil was pissed off and started arguing with someone. “What did you say? If you say another word, I’ll tear your mouth apart. Tell me, who started the rumors?”
“I heard it from Miss Smith.”
“Which Miss Smith?”
“The third daughter of the Smith family.”
Sybil immediately wanted to look for Miss Smith and question her. However, Henry pulled her back and lowered his voice. “Rumors stop at wise people. If you dig deeper now, you’ll only make the rumors worse. People will think that what’s fake is true.”
“So, we’re just going to let it go?” Sybil was furious.
Henry lowered his voice and said, “I’ll find out who started the rumors and tell Julian the source. The rumors will pass, but those who spread the rumors must pay the price.”
“Alright,” Sybil agreed.
Henry went to investigate the source.
When he saw people whispering to each other, he quietly sat over to listen. When he heard their discussion, he leaned over and gossiped together. “Is it true?”
The people who were discussing were excited. They did not know who he was and said excitedly. “Of course!” Henry had a look of disbelief on his face. “How do you know it’s true? Do you believe what others say? I think someone can’t bear to see Annalise marry Julian and deliberately spread rumors to hurt her.”
“No, the Parks family’s daughter Jessy said it!”
“That might not be true either. Mr. Parks is such a smart person. Do you think he has bad taste?”
“That makes sense.”
When Henry found the source, he went back to his table.
Julian and Annalise happened to come down from the stage. As soon as they came down, they heard whispers that Annalise had a few abortions…
Julian’s expression suddenly turned cold. Was she not planning to let him have his way today? When he wrote the couplet with Annalise just now, he felt that everything was especially beautiful. This beautiful scene only lasted for a few minutes. Someone was causing trouble again.
“Julian, it’s Jessy,” Henry whispered to Julian.
When Julian heard that it was Jessy, he sat down.
Seeing Julian sit down, Annalise suddenly felt disappointed.
It was because the person who spread the rumors was his cousin. Was that why Julian protected Jessy in the end?
Annalise quickly adjusted her mentality. She comforted herself. “It’s fine, it’s fine. It’s just a rumor. Just don’t care.” She also warned herself that she and Julian were only contract marriages. It wasn’t real. It wasn’t real. Therefore, she should not have any expectations for Julian. If she did not have any hope, she would not be disappointed.
After thinking about this, she calmed down a lot.
The next moment, Julian grabbed her hand.
She had gotten used to Julian holding her hand these few days. She adjusted her mentality and was prepared to fall in love with Julian.
As he had said, they could try to go to each other. What if it suited them? Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
But now, she subconsciously retracted her hand. She suddenly felt a sense of rejection and vigilance.
Julian felt Annalise pull her hand away. He held her hand tightly and said, “Don’t worry. I won’t let you suffer the rumors for nothing.”
Annalise was suddenly stunned. An indescribable feeling slid through her heart. It was as if she was touched but also as if she was looking forward to it.
She wanted to know what he would do.
The next moment, Julian took out his phone and quickly sent a command. [Announce Jessy’s phone number, school, class, and photos. Publicize her marriage on social media software. Note: The man must not mind that she had aborted three children.]
Seeing this, Annalise was shocked. Her broken heart healed instantly.
She felt pleased. That was how to revenge on someone for what they had done to you.
Annalise was also a little touched that Julian had chosen her between his cousin and her.
She thought of something else. He had said that she was more important than his father. Although he and his father did not have a good relationship, she knew he cared about his father.
She could not help but say softly, “Julian, thank you!”
Julian reached out and touched Annalise’s head. His eyes were doting and gentle. “Don’t thank me!”
Jessy’s phone suddenly rang.
At first, her expression was calm as she casually picked up the phone.
Immediately after, her expression became especially angry, and her voice could not help but rise. “What blind date? What the hell are you talking about? Huh? What marriage proposal? Bullsh*t! What the heck? Which website is it? Send me a link and a screenshot. Hey, hey…”
As soon as the call ended, another call came in. It was another man who was interested. The man said on the phone that he did not mind Jessy had aborted three children, but he hoped that Jessy would behave herself after they got married.
“What nonsense is this? Where did you get my phone number? Send me a screenshot immediately,” Jessy was furious.
Immediately after, men came to look for her at the banquet.
He asked Jessy politely, “Are you Jessy Parks of the Parks family? Nice to meet you. My name is Jadon Coulson, and I’m a descendant of the Coulson family. Don’t worry. Although you’ve had three abortions, I won’t mind your past. Look at me. What do you think about me?”
“Get lost, get lost. What nonsense are you talking about? Get lost!” Jessy was furious.
Everyone looked at Jessy strangely.
Annalise looked at Jessy from afar and felt delighted.
The banquet began. The servants pushed the dishes on the dining cart. The dishes were very sumptuous. Annalise looked at the dishes on the table and felt especially appetized.
She immediately peeled a prawn and placed it on Julian’s plate.
Julian asked Annalise gently, “Is this a reward?”
