When Love Breaks by jack

I didn't spare him another glance Standing before me, Lilliana seemed even more formidable than Margaret ever was. I certainly didn't want to bump heads

"Maybe you should get a DNA test too."

*Jane, answer me."

"Playing hooky again?"

The atmosphere in the hall maintained a superficial lightness as my phone kept buzzing with one message after another I frowned, setting Gregory Ford's chat to Do Not Disturb.

With the very much alive Lilliana standing right here, he still thought maybe I was the one.

"Ms. Webster, fresh off your divorce and your phone's buzzing non-stop."

Susan, ever observant of my situation, chimed in with a snide remark, "You're quick to jump back in the dating pool, aren't you?

Gregory clicked his tongue, ready to blow up on the spot.

I didn't want to get entangled with him at this crucial moment, so I replied first, "Average at best, can't top Dorothy Myers. Tve just gotten a divorce, and she's already been engaged and broken it off with my ex!"

Susan glared at me fiercely. She did it on purpose, intending to embarrass me in front of all these people.

But again, who doesn't know how to hit a nerve?

Adah seemed to catch the underlying tension and frowned, "Jane, was your ex- husband Bryant Ferguson from the Ferguson family of RiverCity?"

"Yes, that's him. Tadmitted openly.

Having loved someone and been married isn't something to be ashamed of.

Adah looked disapprovingly at Ramona, "Your family's handling of this matt seems rather underhanded!"

It was clear the two elder ladies were close. Ramona didn't take offense but glanced at Susan. "Don't lump me in with them; that was all their doing!"

"Mom..."

Susan was displeased, but given the company of either elders or those she couldn't afford to provoke, she could only vent her frustration at me.

I just smiled.

Susan scoffed, "And to think he wanted to marry our Dorothy, dream on! And just so you don't get too jealous, do you know who Dorothy's seeing now? The CEO of RF Group!"

I was speechless.

So, was Dorothy trying her old tricks again, aiming to marry into the Carlson family?

As we spoke, Susan's phone suddenly rang, and she answered with joy all over her face, "What? Mr.

Carlson said their bite big Boss is also coming? Great, great, don't worry, I'll make sure everything is perfect. Okay, message me when you pick him up, and I go to the entrance with your dad personally!"

She was all smiles.

After hanging up, she looked at me as if to gloat, "Jane, you're the only one who treasures your exЄhusband like he's some kind of gem. Our Dorothy might just become the lady of RF Group, or at the very least, a CEO's wife.* NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

York probably never thought he'd go from being Bryant's underling to his backup plan.

Couldn't marry Bryant? Marry him instead?

I couldn't help but laugh, looking at Susan, "Well then... congratulations to Ms.

Myers in advance, once again."

"Stop being so sarcastic."

Susan and I never got along, she scoffed, "You're just jealous of Dorothy. After all, it's her firsto m marriage she's leagues ahead of you!* "Susan," Gregory suddenly spoke up with a smirk, "Only the worthless compare first marriages to second ones. Besides being her first
