Trial Of Love - Chapter 512

Dinner proceeded without any problem, the arrival of the Knightly couple and the revelation of the girl has brought everyone to their feet. To think they have said such nonsense without knowing they were putting themselves in the man’s dead list. What’s worse is that they never expect the beautiful goddess to have such terrifying side.

“My, Jackie you’ve prepared everything so diligently, did Lizzy not come to help you?” Lady Zhao praised as she found every detail very pleasing in her eyes.

“Hmm, my mother and mother-in-law came to help with the preparation. Plus, Steven is very hands on when it comes to helping me.”

“Good to hear that.”

The man’s short words yet good words were like heaven to their ears, for a single displeasing comment would mean the end to all of them. They are sure he has not forgotten about them, ridiculing his own daughter in front of them. He dotes and pampers his daughter like a princess yet they dare insult and bully her right in front of his very own eyes.

“So, when do you plan to host the wedding?”

“Hmm, as long as everything goes according to plan and nothing goes wrong with the preparation, in less than a month I should be getting married.”

Lady Zhao noticed her daughter’s teary eyes, which caught her attention, “Darling, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing, I just realize I’ll soon be an Auntie.”

“Ah- does that mean I’m gonna be an Uncle?” Jackson’s shocked expression was to die for, as everyone started laughing at him as his parents scolded him.

“Ha-ha, I hope to visit both of you again and with a little Jackie or Steven on your hand.” Lady Zhao commented which caught a smile on Miller’s face.

“Hmm, we can arrange for that.” Lord Knightley added as he will visit with his wife.

“Don’t worry Jackie, I made sure to save up a good present for your child.” Elizabeth commented as she teased the girl right next to her.

“Ah- we almost forgot.”

All of the sudden, Winston Lord’s Knightley trusted subordinates entered the more bring a few boxes as he handed each one to Jackie, Mrs Goldsmith and Mrs. Miller. Afterwards, he returned again with a gift for the men of the two families.

“It’s a simple gift from us.”

Inside was a costume made watch which has the same design as everyone. The only difference was the message at the back of the watches. As they noticed the maker of the watch was engraved on the back as well, they were all shocked as they stared directly at the man as each of the watches would have cost millions.

However, the gift did not end there as Winston handed Jackie another gift.

“I’m sure this will look beautiful during your wedding. Lizzy here had that personally designed for you, it took longer than we thought since some of the gems were hard to find at the right size.”

When Jackie opened it, it was a custom made wedding tiara. It was covered in diamond and had a large red diamond in the middle as red is Jackie’s favorite color.

“Liz, thank you.” Jackie tears of joy rolled as embraced the girl next to her.

“Jackie, stop crying, you’re no longer a child.”

“But you’re making me cry.”

Elizabeth sighs delight that to see the girl was happy, “Steven good luck with her.”

“Ha-ha, don’t worry, I will.” Steven chuckled as he found the girl’s comment silly.

As they thought the gift had ended, Winston came back with a file in his hand as he handed it to Steven.

“For me?”

“Rob and Liz, thought that would be the most appropriate gift for you.”

Steven opened and read through the file. As his eyes scanned to what was written, his face was all pale, shocked from what he was holding. “Lord Knightley, are you sure about this?”

“It’s our wedding gift to both of you.”

“But, this is too much.” He couldn’t contain his feelings as he got up from his seat, unable to grasp the man’s generosity.

“Steven, what’s wrong?” Mr. Miller asked.

He passed the doc.u.ment around for everyone to see for themselves. Just like Steven, they too were shocked by the man’s generous gift.

“Ah- he gave you the building next to ours.” Jackson’s words were like a bomb that exploded right on their face. Some almost at the point of puking blood from what they were hearing.

“He gave them a whole building?”

“Not just the building, but the entire land.”

“But, that area cost billions.”

However, Jackson was not done with his ridiculous comments. “That’s good then, now we can see each other all the time. You know, if I recall it, didn’t Uncle also give us the building?”

“Yes, Jackson… He gave it to us when we were able to successfully close the deal for him.” James replied as he sighs in disbelief as to what his brother was trying to do.

“Ah- well, it’s thanks to Jackie that we own such an establishment at such an age.”

That’s right, to them Jackie was the gold laying goose. As she was friends with the Knightley’s daughter, they were bound to receive such generosity from them. Especially, both girls are like sisters towards each other and both families have treated them like daughters.

The Peyton girl’s were all puking in blood within. They felt disgusted by the praises Jackie was suddenly receiving. They did not expect things would turn out differently to what they have planned.

Brooklyn was at the worst, for she had already expected by tomorrow Steven would come running to her and telling her that she ended his relationship with Jackie. But, everything has come to an end as her plan crumbles down right in front of her.

“My dead sister, what do you plan to do now? Now that Jackie is such a blessing to the Miller, I’m sure they will never let her go. Unless, you come out in the open and tell them you are with his child.”

Brooklyn could swallow hard on what her sister was saying. To think her own younger sister, whom she has always ridiculed will one day treat her like one. “Jackie this is all your fault.” She glared furiously at Jackie as her attention was caught by Elizabeth who was smiling to her prompting her to not dare do anything. She was frightened as she averted her gaze away from the woman.

‘Did, did the Young Princess just look me directly in the eye?’ She had goosebumps all over her body as she felt like her neck was being hung by the rope by the girl.

“I need to find a way out of this, I can’t let that girl ruin everything for me. I’ve worked this hard to end up with nothing… I’ll rather go down with them, than go down alone.”

Elizabeth felt such malicious energy emitting from Brooklyn, as she was about to say something, someone grabbed hold of her hands all of the sudden.

“It’s best to leave it be for now, such an occasion does not need to be ruined by an inferior person such as her.”

It was her father who held tightly to her hand as he prevented her from ruining her best friend’s event.

“Thank you.”

“Hmm, don’t worry, I’ll handle everything.”
