Contract Marriage: My Sweet Bossy Wife novel Chapter 39

A banquet like that always got stuffed with fawning people. Soon, Juliette indulged herself in ingratiation.

“Hey, you are late. I thought you wouldn’t have the gut to show up. I am really looking forward to your blessing. After all, we are family, right?” seeing Jessica appeared alone, Juliette walked over to her with a complacent smile.

“See? That’s the manner of an educated lady. Remain a smiling face even suffering great grievance at the same time.”

“Yeah, Jessica has once been engaged to Mr. Saunders. Perhaps that’s what her attendance for.”

“I heard she married Lorenzo, that violent disabled lunatic. She must be living a miserable life. Now she definitely regrets losing the heart of Mr. Saunders. Perhaps she is still preying for a chance to cut in.”

“But the engagement between him and Juliette has been notarized by their families. Even if she wanna cut in, it ain’t gotta work.” The gossips started to spread among the crowd wildly.

“Jessica is my sister. My lifelong happiness must be what she has been hoping for. I know she must be suffering for marrying a man like that.” While speaking, Juliette shook her head, looking sorry for Jessica.

Seeing that, Jessica almost burst into wry laughter. Now Juliette was about to be part of the Saunders and known as the wife of Preston, with the help of which every nasty story about her would be obliterated.

The icing on the cake would be the preference of all. All the guests present was now hungry for an opportunity to build a relationship with the Saunders.

Of course, Juliette asked her to attend the banquet just because she wanna embarrass her in public and also inflict some blows on her at the same time.

“Oh, here comes Jessica. Welcome! Juliette has been expecting you for hours. I feel really sorry for hearing your sad story back then. Alright, since you have attended our banquet where you have this rare chance to meet some many guys from the upper class, just stay with Juliette and see if you can broaden your horizon and try to build some relationship with the superior.” Aminah swaggered over coquettishly from the stand while wriggling her tiny waist to show off. The banquet for the rehearsal for the wedding and also the bachelor party for both Juliette and Preston was coming tonight, while the venue of which would be filled with honorable guests. As a lady about to be titled as the mother-in-law of Preston, she deemed herself proud enough to lift up her horn.

Because of the flop both she and Juliette suffered last time, she swore to God that she had to teach Jessica a lesson tonight.

“Aminah, you are too kind-hearted. An indecent girl like her should be expelled from an occasion like that. She never deserves to be the sister of Juliette.”

“You’re right. Juliette even greeted her decently when she walked over to her. What a good girl! She will definitely be a nice wife for Preston.”

“Yeah, the marriage will be a strong alliance between the Armstrong and the Saunders. I really wish my son could marry a girl as excellent as Juliette.”

As the Armstrong seized the chance to access to a higher status, those ladies among the upper class hurried over with a fawning manner.

Meanwhile, all of them badly despised Jessica, viewing her a jinx.

But Jessica had foreseen such situation beforehand. So she remained a casual expression.

“Preston, come over here! Jessica has arrived!” seeing Preston walking over from distance, Juliette hurried forward in a bashful look.

As the focus of the banquet tonight, Preston was wearing a pure white suit with his hair neatly teased. He looked exactly like a prince charming in a fairy tale.

“I heard you have married. But where is your husband? Is he gonna let you hang out for the banquet alone?” Preston smiled at Jessica to ask in a seemingly concerned tone, but the actual intention of which was to mock her for her foolish stubbornness about the marriage.

“Preston…” Jessica replied with an affectionate stare at him, hesitant to say more.

“I am so sorry. It’s all my fault. I thought Lorenzo was the one I wanted. But it never occurred to me that he actually got himself indulged among other girls! Our engagement used to be granted by our families since we were kids! I still miss you! I am sorry for what I’ve done to you! But I didn’t mean it!”
