Chapter 2523: Chapter 2532: Those Who Shouldn’t Be Here
Juliet Jordan gripped the hem of her dress, harder and harder...
Her face was ashen, and the scrutinizing gazes from all directions made her wish she were dead.
She heard the whispers around her, it seemed they were all saying she was wearing an A-quality dress, making her even more embarrassed...
Back in Linton City, she was a top socialite, she loved attending this type of gathering the most. Every time she appeared, it would spark a trend among the ladies.
She never dreamed she’d end up like this.
The murmurs made her wish the ground would swallow her up. Her fingers were trembling, but she didn’t dare expose her hands.
Her once delicate hands had become rough due to toil. If she exposed her hands at this moment, she could imagine what people would say about her.
They would call her a country woman!
She wasn’t!
She was the First Young Lady of the Jordan Family, the wife of the President of the Clark Family. She was supposed to live a life of luxury, admired by all, not like this, like a rat in the grand hotel lobby, trembling with fear.
"Jacob, let’s go back, I don’t want to stay here any longer." Juliet Jordan couldn’t bear the gazes from all directions, she reached out and tugged at the sleeve of the man beside her.
Just as she imagined, the moment she reached out her hand, someone immediately pointed at her hand like they had discovered a new continent, exclaiming, "Look at her hand! Oh my, how dirty."
Juliet Jordan’s face burned with embarrassment, she wished she could escape. She quickly hid her hand behind her dress, bowing her head, not daring to look at anyone.
Jacob Clark also heard the whispers around them, he felt both ashamed and angry. He was much more composed than Juliet Jordan, and gruffly rebuked, "If you want to leave, you leave, I’m not going. Don’t forget, we came here with great difficulty, and we haven’t gained anything. Do you really want to leave just like this? I won’t!"
"Even if you find her, if she refuses, you still won’t get anything. Let’s go, stop holding onto fantasies, she won’t give it to you." Juliet Jordan only wanted to leave quickly, she couldn’t last another second, she feared if she stayed she would go insane.
She had said they shouldn’t come, but Jacob Clark was swayed by others and insisted on coming here.
Does he really think he’s still Enna Clark’s father? She has already renounced him. Besides, both of them know what happened back then.
These past two years, the fact that they haven’t been completely ostracized is already a concession made for their blood ties.
He had suffered so much before, why couldn’t he see that clearly?
"Aren’t you afraid of provoking her?" Juliet Jordan urgently persuaded, "Jacob, let’s go, it’s still not too late to leave now."
"So what if I provoke her? Does she dare kill me? I’m her biological father, she dares!"
Juliet Jordan thought to herself, you’re also her mother’s killer.
But she didn’t dare say it out loud. Over the past few years, this man hadn’t learned anything new except to become more temperamental. He often became physical with her after drinking. At first, she would fight back against him. But as it happened more frequently, she has become instinctively fearful of this man.
Jacob Clark’s eyes gleamed, clenching his fists, he declared determinedly, "This time it’s different, I’ve got dirt on her. If she doesn’t give me money, I’ll make a scene and let everyone know her scandals!"
