Chapter 82
Jean was wearing only one slipper. The other was nowhere to be seen, leaving her bare foot on the cold. ground. The wind blew her white nightgown up, making her look even more frail and weak.
She staggered toward Nadine, but the wind knocked her off balance, causing her to stumble. Fortunately, Brad quickly caught her, preventing her from falling to the ground.
Jean’s eyes were severely swollen. Clinging tightly to Brad’s waist, she looked like a helpless vine battered by the storm.
Her loose nightgown blew around and wrapped around Brad’s body, entangling them together tightly. This scene would make anyone think that they were a couple who were deeply in love.
Nadine glanced coldly at the pair of miserable lovers, her expression unchanged.
She didn’t want to come up and witness their show of affection in the first place. If Brad hadn’t used Sean to coerce her to come here, she wouldn’t have come to the rooftop to endure the cold wind:
On such a cold day, wouldn’t it be better to enjoy a steaming hot seafood buffet with Sean and Avery, eating whatever they liked? What did she do in her past life to deserve this?
Seeing Nadine arrive, Jean held on to Brad even tighter.
Clutching firmly onto his waist, she trembled as she spoke. “Brad, tell Ms. Scott that I really didn’t instruct Lynn to do that. I’m not that kind of person. I really didn’t ask Lynn to do it.”
Initially, the netizens sympathized with her. They thought that Nadine had stolen her beloved man,
causing her to stay away from Janctera City for five years. Now that she finally dared to return, she
must’ve finally moved on from Brad.
However, when everyone saw the video of Lynn locking Nadine in the washroom, people began accusing Lynn of attempted murder under Jean’s orders.
They flooded Jean’s Instagram with nasty comments, scolding and cursing her.
Some people even dug out photos of Brad and Jean being physically in contact during this period and accused her of being a homewrecker. Suddenly, negative news of her was blowing up everywhere
To dispel these misunderstandings and prove that she didn’t instruct Lynn to harm Nadine, Jean staged
this whole rooftop scene.
After hearing her melodramatic speech, Nadine almost threw up. She rolled her eyes toward the sky and
muttered under her breath, “Yeah, you’re not that kind of person. You’re not even a person!”
She didn’t believe a word Jean said. How could this not be related to her? Wasn’t Lynn her caretaker? Wasn’t she the one who locked her in the washroom?
Brad, seeing Jean shivering, frowned deeply. He took off his coat and wrapped it around her while holding
her tightly.
“Jeanie, you don’t have to do this. I’ll investigate this matter and get to the bottom of it.”
With tears streaming down her face, Jean shook her head. “No! I want to clear things up with Ms. Scott
now!
I
“I never intended to hurt her, nor have I wanted to compete with her for you. I just want to quietly stay by your side and watch you from a distance. Can’t I just love you this way?”
Her tears were large, like glistening pearls. They fell in a way that made one’s heart ache. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Brad’s heart twisted painfully at this sight. “Jeanie, don’t do this. Leave it to me. Let’s go back inside. okay?”
Seeing Jean stubbornly wanting to explain herself to Nadine and refusing to leave this cold and dangerous place, Brad’s anger flared up
He had been suppressing his anger, and he took it all out on Nadine.
*Jeanie said it wasn’t her, so it wasn’t her! Nadine, you will forgive her today whether you want to or not! This has nothing to do with her!”
