Fall in Love After the Flash Marriage novel Chapter 31

“That is true. I swear.”

Then Jessica vows, raising her tightly-clenched right fist, with a certain countenance rather than the former nervous, hesitant one.

That is true and Jenny’s skeleton can’t be erased.

The daughter of a drug addict and an embezzler.

Luke takes his hands back from the door handle. He frowns and looks at Jessica in the distance. She remains her grace and popularity as a movie queen while she doesn’t look pleasing even with her pretty face.

“Who else knows about that?”

Jessica interprets Luke’s words as his trust in her, and instantly breathes a relief, “The news about Mr. and Mrs. Jin was massively discussed in Xicheng, but no one knows Jenny is their daughter except Frankie and I, because they had few relatives.”

Jenny’s colleagues only know she keeps a family secret and gossip sometimes about it without much interest in the details for she is not famous. So only Jessica and Frankie know the whole story.

“I hope it’s a secret among just the two of you and me.”

Speaking of that, he looks up at Jessica and threatens her who then shudders, “Don’t spill the beans, or else you’ll lose what you have now.”

At the end of his words, he takes a glance at Jessica with contempt and raises his arm to open the door. The creak echos in the empty corridor and ends as the door shuts.

Jessica remains where she is for a long time with an insanely jealous look in her eyes.

What on earth does Jenny do to make people offend her?

...

On the second floor of the hotel, the balcony owns good views with stars up in the sky and warm light down there in the garden.

All of a sudden, Jenny recalls her old house.

It was a two-floored garden villa built of red bricks. Comparatively speaking, it was not quit big but quit cozy, partially similar to this place but without advanced glass enclosing the balcony.

As the door creaks open, Jenny turns around and sees a familiar man with a touch of coldness.

The temperature inside the balcony seems a bit higher than the outside.

Luke walks to Jenny and teases her, glancing at the empty plate, “Aren’t you on a diet?”

“I wasn’t going to finish it, but you come late.”

She speaks it out confidently to make it sound reasonable.

“Enough of cake?”

“Time to go?” hearing that, Jenny bounces up from the sofa and walks past it, pulling the hemline, “I’m full. Let’s go.”

Just now, she read all the news of the past two days and realizes one banquet may not be able to save her acting career. She’s got to think deeply about what to do in the future.

Moreover, it’s inappropriate to live in the Lu’s for a long time. She has a lot in mind to tell Luke.

Mr. Wang, Frankie and other managers keep Luke and Jenny’s company to the front gate. As Jenny feels Frankie’s eyes at her, she escapes them by lowering her head down.

Since they broke up in a disgraceful and unpeaceful way, she can’t face him peacefully.

“Huh?” Jenny looks up and laughs with contempt, “Are you jealous?”

“I’m serious. We’ve known each other for years, I won’t lie to you. Luke is able to purchase Jade Picture on his own. Obviously he’s not a simple guy. I just don’t want you to get hurt.”

“That’s it?”

Jenny looks away and glances over his shoulder indifferently, “Then I got to go. I got something to do.”

“Jen, don’t cross with me...” Frankie drags Jenny’s arm and moves her to the corridor nearby, “Come over, we need to talk.”

As a man, Frankie has greater strength, and he loses control of it after Jenny makes him lose the patience.

Jenny grits her teeth and argues with him in a lower voice in case they would arouse others’ attention, “Let go of me. Or I’ll yell for help.”

“Go ahead. I won’t let you go with such a man like Luke anyway.”

Frankie looks at her, looking resolute and decisive with his eyebrows lifted.

Even though they broke up with each other, Frankie treats Jenny as a sister since their families were close. So he has to keep her away from that complicated man.

“Frankie, are you insane? Let go of me...”

“What kind of man am I?” a cold voice asks behind the two of them, which is like a cold knife that penetrates the smoke and leaves a gash on the lake.
