Being Pursued By Ex-husband novel Chapter 614

Chapter 614 A Little Happy

A woman came forward, but no one could tell if she was being kind-hearted or if she simply wanted to watch Jacqueline make a fool of herself. “Jacqueline, just apologize. It’s hard to find a job nowadays, and Prosperity Enterprise has always been strict with its recruitment requirements. If you leave Prosperity Enterprise, you might not be able to find another good job. Also, Charlize isn’t asking for something outrageous. She’s just asking for you to clarify the past misunderstandings and apologize; it’s not as if she’s asking you to do anything horrible.”

The second those words were out of her mouth, the others agreed with her. “That’s right. Charlize didn’t ask for anything outrageous. Jacqueline, you need to know your limits!”

At that point, no one would dare to put in a good word for Jacqueline.

Even Katrina, who was close to Jacqueline, was standing at the side, pretending not to hear anything as she stared at her phone.

In all her years of life, this was Jacqueline’s first time being in such an embarrassing moment. Staring at Charlize, she burst into angry tears. “You’ve crossed the line, Charlize!”

With that said, she covered her face and ran off, bawling.

Charlize turned to Spencer after watching her go. In a confused tone, she asked, “Have I crossed the line?”

I didn’t do much, did I? I’m just asking her to admit to some of the things she had done in the past and apologize. Is asking for an apology something outrageous nowadays?

Spencer squeezed her hand. “No, you haven’t.”

Charlize pursed her lips. “All right, let’s leave then.”

I knew that something bad was going to happen if I came here tonight.

“Okay.”

At that, Spencer led her away from the area. This time, neither turned around again.

Once Charlize and Spencer were gone, the people in the ballroom became even louder as they discussed what just happened.

Of course, what stunned them most was Charlize’s identity as the Johnson family’s daughter.

They had never realized it throughout the four years of university.

If they had known that she was the Johnson family’s daughter, they would have done their best to get into her good books during those four years.

However, there was no turning back time, and Charlize would probably not want to be friends with them.

“I’m sorry,” Spencer suddenly apologized when the car stopped.

Charlize froze for a second before turning to him. “Why are you apologizing?”

“I’ve upset you tonight,” he said.

Then, after a pause, he went on, saying, “I know you didn’t want to join this gathering.”

If he had not spoken up first and accepted, Charlize would probably have rejected the invitation.

Charlize scrunched up her face. “It isn’t as bad as you think it is. Things have been bad between Jacqueline and me since the first year of university. We haven’t seen eye to eye all along. Honestly, what happened tonight didn’t upset me.”

In fact, she was even a little delighted.

Perhaps it was because the fact that Spencer was her boyfriend had been publicized.

There were many women who liked Spencer when they were still in university, and Jacqueline was one of them.

However, after what happened earlier, everyone had to know that Spencer was dating her now. Moreover, her identity as the Johnson family’s daughter was also revealed. Those who would want to steal her boyfriend would have to think twice before doing so.

A spark of joy burst in Charlize’s chest when she thought about that.

However, she was too embarrassed to tell that to Spencer, so she could only secretly share her elation with Juliette and the others via text messages. She did not expect that her silence would make Spencer think she was unhappy.

“Still, I’m sorry to make you go through something unpleasant like this.”
