Love My Friends with Benefits novel Chapter 17

"Really?" I pretended to be unaware of this.

I did not think that Aunt Nancy was privy to the issues between Phoebe, Leonard, and myself. It was more likely that she was just telling me about this matter.

How could she possibly know that it was all I had thought about in recent times?

"You know, your grandmother was against this wedding. She's never viewed Gail and Phoebe as part of our family, but your father was all for it because of the Nell family's status. That's why I won't be attending the wedding either."

I had already guessed what was going on in Bell's mind, but Aunt Nancy's refusal to attend was a happy surprise.

In fact, this was what I had hoped for. I had already set my mind on ruining their wedding, and Aunt Nancy's absence would only make things easier for me.

After hanging up the phone, I felt a little conflicted. I was not sure whether it was appropriate for me to use my own methods in getting revenge on the Jones family at this point in time.

However, I knew that Grandma would forgive me for all of this because of her guilt towards my mother and me.

With this train of thought, I felt a bit more relieved.

Over the next few days, I spent most of my time at home or company. I tried my best to act like nothing was going on.

In between, Austin came to my company twice, apparently to talk about the project, but I came up with various reasons to avoid seeing him.

I would not allow Austin's sudden appearance to disrupt my plan.

As Phoebe and Leonard's wedding loomed closer, news started appearing on the Internet about it. Sometimes, I even heard some female colleagues gossiping about it.
