The Lind family’s house was still clamorous after Ethan and Janet left.The maid was cleaning the red
stains on the carpet, listening to the three of them bicker.
Jocelyn lost her temper.
She sniffled loudly and burst into tears as if she had just broken up with her boyfriend.
"How could Ethan do this to me? How could he compare me to that bitch? I’m in no way inferior to her!
Mom, no one has ever humiliated me this way!"
Bernie was reading the newspaper, scowling with frustration.He couldn’t understand what his daughter
was thinking.
‘What makes her think Ethan would like her? Besides, isn’t it a good thing he doesn’t like her?’ he
thought.
Since Ethan didn’t like her, he wouldn’t blame them for marrying him to Janet instead of Jocelyn.
Bernie couldn’t understand why his daughter was making a fuss.
Fiona was also furious.She had been dreading this day, thinking Ethan would ruin their lives if he found
the truth.
However, the man showed completely no interest in Jocelyn, which infuriated them.
"Stop crying.Otherwise, your eyes will become puffy and bloodshot.You won’t be able to go out.Ethan
is just a loser.He doesn’t deserve you."
Fiona patted Jocelyn’s back to comfort her.But Jocelyn began to weep harder.
Gritting her teeth, she picked up the teacup on the table and threw it on the floor.
"But he doesn’t like me.He even compared me with that bitch.That’s the biggest humiliation of my life!"
Fiona’s heart clenched at the sight of the shattered remnants of the antique vases and cups on the
floor.
She had spent a lot of money on them, but Jocelyn smashed them in an instant.
"That’s a good thing.What would you have done if Ethan pestered you to marry him?"
Fiona continued to persuade her daughter.
Hearing that made Jocelyn calm down a little.
"Of course, I wouldn’t have agreed." She sniffed loudly.
"But I should be the one denying him and this proposal.I can’t believe he doesn’t want me."
"Ethan is not a good man.I’ve asked you not to let his good looks deceive you.Keep my words in
mind.Otherwise, sooner or later, you’ll fall for the wrong man and suffer." Fiona poked Jocelyn’s temple
with disappointment.
At that moment, Bernie’s phone rang.
Fiona picked up the phone and glanced at the screen.
"Bernie, it’s a call from the company you have partnered with.Answer it now!"
She nudged Bernie’s arm, who was about to doze off on the sofa.
"What’s the matter? Why have they called me at this hour?"Bernie sat upright, clearing his throat.
"Hello, Mr.Walton.What’s up?"
The caller was the CEO of one of the Lind family’s partnering companies.
"Mr.Lind, the senior executives of our company have decided to terminate our cooperation with your
company." Bernie sprang up from his seat in horror.
"Wait, Mr.Walton.Why? What’s with the sudden decision? Are you not happy with our collaboration?"
Bernie wasn’t good at handling business.
The company was barely holding on over the years as he struggled to retain the connections his father
had built in the past.
This collaboration was crucial for business.
Once they withdrew, the Lind family would face severe downfall.
