To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 768

Jolene feared all her tricks and schemes would go to waste. More than that, she worried that she might suffer a bad ending and that Jenny would keep winning…

Back in the living room, a pale-looking Jolene was trembling violently. She knew the meaning behind his words—he'd never marry her. Not only that, he had never planned to marry her from the get-go.

She sank into despair and was at a loss for her next step. Should she leave in anger or retreat to her room like a loser, pretending nothing had happened?

She was lost. All she knew was that she felt extremely distressed by the turn of events.
