Chapter 1467
After Jayden’s words, it did seem like Preston had done it on
purpose.
But Harper had been with Preston for three years, and she knew he wasn’t that kind of person.
“Don’t speculate about Preston’s character. He’s not you, and he wouldn’t do these things behind my back,” Harper defended Preston firmly for the first time in front of Jayden.
Jayden gripped his drink tightly, with veins popping on the back of his hand, revealing just how angry he was.
“Ultimately, you only care so much about what I say because you can’t let go of Preston,” he habitually shifted the blame. Harper couldn’t see it before, but now she found it laughable.
“Believe whatever you want, but I trust what I hear and see,” she said in a tone devoid of emotion, seemingly prepared for a breakup, so she had nothing to lose.
Without waiting for Jayden’s response, Harper continued to ask, “Secondly, do you condone your mother interrogating me because I’m a powerless orphan you think can be easily bullied?”
Jayden didn’t think that way, but in his heart, even if his beloved the girl couldn’t compare to his mother.
“You heard it too, I reprimanded her,” he said.
“Yeah,” Harper laughed again.
“You always explain things afterward, just like when your friend bad-mouthed me last time, you said you were distracted and didn’t hear it,” she interrupted Jayden’s attempt to explain.
Jayden frowned, wanting to explain, but Harper interrupted him again, “The first time I met your parents, you let your mother assert her dominance over me, which shows that in your eyes, your perception of me is the same as your mother’s.”
Just like Natalic, he thought she had a dirty personal life, no background, no education, unmated, and not worthy of him.
“I told you about these issues before we got together, and you said you didn’t mind. Why be hypocritical now?” she looked disappointed, and Jayden’s eyebrows furrowed with a twinge of pain.
