People around came to congratulate her.
"Jessica, I am so jealous of you. You're so happy!"
"Shawn is so nice with you and these roses must be proof of his deep love for you. If I were you, I would just go home be a happy Mrs. Miller."
"Well, we are not as lucky as you to meet such a handsome and rich man."
Some even took this opportunity to mock Natalia.
"Well, Shawn only likes Jessica. However, somebody thinks too highly of herself, even having the illusion that Shawn had an affair with her."
"Well, she may be paranoid. It's terrible. We'd better stay away from her."
"Yes, she must have used some dirty tricks to get the part, but she thought of herself as some big shot. How ridiculous."
"Call her out, so she can understand how nice Shawn is with Jessica. She must be very embarrassed."
Surrounded by a group of women and praised by them, Jessica was very pleased.
Satisfaction filled her heart and she seemed to be on a cloud. Then she smiled, "Stop that."
Then she explained, "Natalia is very excellent. The devil made her do that. I've forgiven her. Please stop saying those words. Just do me a favor."
"Jessica, you're too kind. You'll be harmed by her sooner or later."
"Well, we'll stop that for your sake."
When they were talking, the delivery man that had left with the card went back.
He frowned, walked to Jessica and asked, "Miss, you're not Natalia?"
It surprised Jessica.
People around were also stunned.
Someone roared the next second, "This is Jessica, not Natalia!"
That man sighed.
"You should make it clear. The flowers are for Natalia Dawson, not for you."
With that, he checked Jessica's name off the card before everyone.
Jessica was lost for words.
People around were lost for words.
Just then, Natalia came over and asked in confusion when seeing everyone's unnatural expressions. "What happened?"
That man walked over and asked, "Hello, do you know where Natalia Dawson is?"
Natalia was confused.
"That's me. What's up?"
The man was happy as if he discovered some treasure, so he handed the card to Natalia.
"Flowers presented by Mr. McCarthy. Please sign here."
Natalia was confused.
Looking at the red sea of roses before her, she felt somewhat dizzy.
What the hell was Archie doing?
People around stared at her, so she could only take it to sign her name.
When she was signing, she found a name that had been checked off.
Though it was checked off, Natalia could tell it was Jessica's name.
She couldn't help but cock her brow, with a cunning look.
Not far away, Jessica flushed with embarrassment and anger.
