Love Mission: Ex-wife Strikes Back - Chapter 569 Flattery
“There is nothing wrong.” Jean entered the room, feeling guilty. “Don’t worry about us. Terence and I will be fine.”
“That’s good,” Barton said. He didn’t know why, but he had grown suspicious of Jean after having spoken with Julia.
He wanted to ask Jean whether she truly was his daughter or not, but he decided otherwise. “Have you had anything to eat? Do you need me to make you some food?”
“No, thanks,” Jean said, smiling. “I can do that myself, Dad. Go upstairs and get some rest.”
Jean was in a bad mood. Before going to bed, she sent Terence a message explaining what had happened earlier that day, but no response came. She spent the whole night tossing and turning in bed.
She regretted the way that she had behaved. She had wanted to show off in front of Julia, but it had not been worth the consequence.
The next morning, Jean got up early. After
as gotten married, all these women continue to surround him. Look at that girl, Kerry. Isn’t she the same way?”
“Kerry? That girl that the other company sent to work with us?”
“Yes, that’s the one. After having met our CEO, she returned and said that she wanted to spend more time working here to help develop our project. In my opinion, she likes our CEO, and she wants to get ahead of others and be closer to him.”
“I think you’re right. This Kerry woman spends a lot of time here. I have seen her with the CEO several times. Are the two of them…?”
“Okay, stop it.”
The two women got out of the elevator a few floors down, but their words had caused a stinging sensation in Jean’s heart that remained even after they had left.
She had always thought that Julia was her enemy. She did not expect that Kerry had silently made her way to Terence’s side.
