Chapter 1556
Penelope had become the laughingstock of the city because of Brooklyn.
She had accused Violet of sabotaging her relationship, but she was the real
homewrecker. Even though Brooklyn had tricked her and she was the victim of the
entire shenanigan, after learning of his married status, she refused to leave him.
Instead, she wanted him to divorce his wife and marry her.
People always said that those who were pitiful must have a cause for having sunk to
their lows, and it was the truth.
All of the socialites came and greeted her warmly when they all saw Violet.
Even though Violet did not like it, she still responded to them politely.
“Ms. Lovegood, I heard that Mr. Clifford is going to get you back. How romantic.”
“It seems like you’ve successfully captured the heart of your ex-husband, Ms.
Lovegood.”
Violet felt a little embarrassed as she listened to their flattery.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was true that Jackie was trying to win her back, but she hadn’t said yes to his
marriage proposal.
Besides, this circle was complicated. She never had any good friends here, and people might twist the meaning of
her words if she said something wrong.
Therefore, she was being very careful and did not know what answer she should give him.
At that moment, Jackie emerged from the crowd and said, “If you guys have any questions, you can just ask me.”
Holding glasses in their hands, a few people stood beside him and said, “It seems like we’re going to get good news
from you soon, Mr. Clifford.”
He took the handed glass of red wine and swirled it around. He looked at Violet’s face and said, “she hasn’t said yes
yet.”
Everyone was shocked, when Jackie was married to Violet back then, the socialites in the circle felt it was such a
waste for him to marry such a "notorious" woman.
When Jackie got a divorce, these socialites were more than willing to win over his heart. After all, a rich man would
never lack women, let alone Jackie was both rich and influential.
Even though there was a lot of news about their remarriage, when Violet said she hadn’t said yes to Jackie, most of
them did not believe in her.
They all thought Violet was being overconfident.
However, they only believed in her when Jackie told them so.
Violet pressed her lips tightly and did not say anything.
Jackie emptied the glass of red wine and put the glass down. He walked toward her and collected her hair behind
her ears in front of everyone.
“Why didn’t you tell me that you’re coming?”
Someone from the crowd said, “There’s nothing to worry about, Mr. Clifford. It’s not like we’re going to eat her or
something.”
Jackie pressed his lips and smiled. “Well, I’m the only one who can do that to her.”
Violet’s face turned red, and she mumbled, “S-Stop that. It’s embarrassing.”
The smile on his face deepened. “Am I not right?”
She lowered her head, trying her best to avoid the gaze of the crowd that bore into her.
If there was a hole in front of her right now, she would've jumped into it without a
second thought.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJackie was tickled pink by her reaction. He chuckled and wrapped her arm around her
shoulders. Then, he said, “Alright, guys. I’m going to bring my woman back. Enjoy the
night.”
Jackie took her away from the party, and he pinned her on the wall in the empty
corridor.
Violet was stunned, “what are you— ”
Jackie lowered his head and planted a kiss on her lips.
Her hands that she put on his shoulders trembled, and they slipped down from his
shoulders.
Jackie gazed at her. Her cheeks were flushed, and if now was not the right timing, he
would have done something else other than just kissing.
Violet averted her gaze and said in embarrassment, “ You need to calm down.”
He got closer to her and chuckled. “I can’t calm down now.”
As if she felt something, her face flushed.
He was really good at teasing people, she could feel his hot breath on her skin, and she
knew what he was trying to do. However, he refused to be the one to take the first
step.
