Trial Of Love - Chapter 497

Jackie looked at the girl a laughed, as if what the girl was saying were utter nonsense, “Babes, did you hit your head or something?”

Elizabeth ignored the girl’s comment and only continued to stare at her. ‘Any minute now…’ She thought as she patiently waited for the girl to break.

Whilst Jackie continued to babbler all sorts of nonsense, Sam along with the others who were inside the car ignored what was happening and as if they had earplugs in their ears and couldn’t hear a thing.

Jackie turned to look at the girl and saw that she was unmoved at all. As she smiled bitterly, all the bottled up feeling she had buried soon broke free. Waterfalls of tears flooded her face, as the wall she had created soon crumbled down as well. “Babes, it hurt…”

“Took you a while,” Elizabeth sighs as she went closer to the girl and comforted her, she then asked, “Tell me, what happened?”

“But, before I tell you, promise you won’t be upset. Whatever I say has nothing to do with you…” Jackie explains despite knowing the girl will in the end overreact.

“Fine.”

“You see, I was away for a while since…”

Elizabeth interrupted since the girl was hesitant and said, “Since I returned.”

Jackie nodded, agreeing to what the girl said.

“You were away for a while and something happened between your fiance and a b*tch.”

Again, she just nodded her head.

“Let me guess, the b*tch you are referring to is your future step sister.”

“How?” Jackie looked dumbfounded how the girl figured out everything. She has not said a thing about it, nor does her brothers even know she is in such a state.

“I ain’t stupid to not realize it,” she sighs, looked at the girl upsetly and added, “Jackie, we’ve been friends for like two decades I guess… And, here you are thinking you can fool. I mean, we lived together before and I can tell easily when you have problems and if you’re lying.”

“Babes, I’m sorry. I just didn’t want to bother you since you just recovered. Plus, this is my problem and I should be the one solving it.”

“Then, why have you not solved it?”

Jackie was shocked because she thought the girl would sympathize with her more, but only to be judged for lacking the confidence to solve her worries. “I-I just, what should I do? I mean, I can’t just go up to him and ask him.”

“So, in the end, what you’re worried about is something all but a snake’s play.”

“Huh?” Jackie was confused and couldn’t understand… She felt embarrassed when she noticed Sam trying her best not to laugh. “Did I do something wrong?”

Sam looked at her and shook her head, “If I may be honest, Miss Jackie, I would never expect you to be fooled by some snake.”

“I agree.” The secretary added his opinion and focused back on what he was doing.

“Jackie, if you’re really that confused then let me spell it out to you. You came home, so happy to see your fiance, but the snake came to you and said she did this and that with your fiance. She showed you a picture of them together…”

“Wait, did you…”

Elizabeth was annoyed as she hit the girl in the head, she raised her voice and said, “Jackie, only an idiot would think like you. Jackie, the snakes hates you. The fact you and big brothers are not agreeing to their mother’s marriage with your father is more reasons for them to hate you. Plus, come on… I beat those snakes trying to get with my big brother. But, I’m sure they were badly rejected by him.”

Jackie was impressed how the girl had come up with all those ideas. As if she was really seeing the real deal her… She is indeed the daughter of the European King, to always be a step ahead of the competitions.

“Dear Miss Jackie, please calm yourself down.” Sam said as she handed a tissue for the girl to clean herself up. “I’m sure your fiance won’t be pleased to see you looking like this.”

“Thanks Sam.”

“I presume the reason why you wish for me to meet him in person is for me to interrogate whether what the snake said were true or not.” Elizabeth tone was full of disappointment as she sighs heavily.

“Babes, am wrong, I’m sorry.” Jackie felt as sick as a parrot.

“Jackie, to think a high class lawyer like you would be fooled so easily. I mean, what would big brother think.” Elizabeth did not stop with all the rude comments and continue to belittle the girl. She was extremely annoyed with her behaviour and to think the reason would be so simple and foolish.

“Babes, I said I’m sorry.” Jackie’s tone changed as well as she was about to lose her composure with the girl’s disgraceful comment about her.

“Do you think sorry is enough, gosh!”

“What do you want from me? I already said I’m sorry!” Jackie confronts the girl heads on with a burning energy to fight back. She was angry at the same time unsure of how to face the girl.

“Good,” Elizabeth simply said and smiled.

“You…”

“So, you do still have it in you. I thought you’d turned into a kitten and can’t fight back.”

“Ha, please… Those snakes have nothing on me. Have they forgotten who I am?”

“Good, so I have nothing to worry tonight then?”

The two started laughing and giggling as they finally resolved Jackie’s worries.

“Young Miss, we’re about to arrive.”

They decided to meet the man at a nearby cafe. Whilst Elizabeth was getting ready to get out of the car, her father’s assistance received word from the man to inform her of the situation earlier.

“Young Miss, everything has been handled already.”

“Good.”

Now, not a single person even those in high society knows she has arrived. Plus, loads of picture of her arriving in different countries have spread instead making it impossible to know which one is real. The picture of Jackie posing for the reporters earlier has all been deleted as well and if anyone dares post those pictures would only mean that person does not care for his/her life anymore.

The assistant came out of the car first as he opened the door for them.

“Young Miss, will be staying a few tables away.” He informed her.

“Hmm, sure. Sam, why don’t you join them and enjoy your time here.”

Sam happily agrees with the girl’s offer as she steps out of the car as well. None of the servants, nor guards apart from Jackie’s guards followed them.

Jackie only brought along two guards with her since she was not really a big shot that people would run up to her for pictures or autographs. Most people who followed her around are reporters to get the latest update about their family business and if she handles any major cases.

“Babes, I’m sorry about this.”

“Don’t worry, by the way, does he know?”

“Of course not, you know me, I’ve kept everything about you a secret. I know you only tell those whom you trust about who you are.” Jackie proudly informed the girl that even her own fiance does not know of the girl’s identity.

“Wow, I’m impressed.” Elizabeth did not expect how loyal Jackie is towards her that she would even put her own fiance who will be her husband second before her.

Jackie held tightly on the girl’s arm as they headed inside the shop.

Inside, a man was patiently waiting for his fiance who will be arriving with her best friend. He was not informed of the girl’s true identity nor did he even bother checking, since Jackie mentioned that it was best if he does not do anything foolish as to check. Also, all that was told was the fact he had seen the girl before. But, that was years ago… Now, that he will be seeing his fiance’s best friend, he does not know what to do. For, it was thanks to her that their marriage has been put on hold.

The man was in deep thought as he contemplated on how things will go. He fears that he might say something rude and unexpected that it might cause his relationship with Jackie.
