This is an effective method.
True enough, when Duke heard this commotion he rushes over and he sees Joey lying on the ground bleeding on her forehead. Duke holds onto Joey and asks coldly, “Why did you do this?”
Joey is now barely conscious in Duke’s arms, her hand grasping onto his jacket, saying pitifully, “Even if I did, it was the past. Duke, trust me. You are the only one I love now.”
Duke is a little moved. The woman in his embrace had once taken a stab for him and saved him. He will never forget such devotion. But what happened today left Duke in a daze.
The person that he loves is Joey but when all these were unfolding, although he cannot accept it, he is surprisingly not that hurt by it.
All these years, does he really know her? Is she what he thinks she is?
Once she set everything aside and took a stab for him. To think that she makes him feel so distant and desirable to escape?
“Duke, you must not abandon me, have you forgotten? This, I’ll keep it for you.” Joey holds onto Duke’s hand and places it onto her stomach. “You cannot doubt my heart…” After she said this, Joey loses consciousness. She was so pitiful.
Duke stares intently at that spot which was where she had taken a stab for him and left a scar.
He didn’t hesitate any further and carries Joey out. The Field and Swift family members feel uneasy. The Swift family members follows Duke while the Fields stays behind to clear the venue.
The engagement ceremony ended in this unfortunate manner. The strict Field family will never accept such a shameless woman into their family.
Bunny and Wendy are already in the car waiting for Jamie and Dan. They two have just caused a huge scene and it felt so good.
“Wendy, it appears that Duke still can’t bear to leave that woman.” Bunny says to Wendy as he leans on the window and sees Duke carrying Joey into a car and departs.
Wendy’s whole body displays a single word: Satisfaction!
Joey never thought that reality would come so quickly. She thought that because she likes Duke, she can allow Duke to become her soft spot but she has forgotten that it takes courage to truly love someone. Her love for Duke is but a dream, it will be over once she wakes up.
“It has nothing to do with us. If she hadn’t antagonized me, I wouldn’t have been so ruthless today.” Wendy replies as she went on Instagram and thereafter Twitter.
Bunny makes a mental note. He can offend anyone but women. It’s too scary. You can be caught off guard anytime.
“But Wendy, how did you find these photos?” Bunny asks curiously as he turns towards her. As far as he knows, Wendy has always remained in C country and never left the country. How does she know that Joey had some history with other men?
Wendy clicks on Eddie’s avatar and types a few words. She ponders over it and deletes the message. She didn’t know how to convey the situation to him.
“Wendy?” Bunny shouts again.
“What?” Wendy came to her senses and remembers Bunny’s question and explains, “Joey is not someone who can withstand loneliness not to mention waiting for a man for so long.”
“Previously I saw her selfie on Instagram and in the glass panel behind her was the reflection of a man. So, I thought perhaps she may have a man with her.
