Chapter 72 Well Done, Julian
Jessy turned around and saw Alan smiling charmingly.
She was shocked. She followed his gaze and saw that he was smiling at Annalise.
Jessy’s anger suddenly surged.
She thought, “Annalise, that bitch! She has only written a few words. Is Alan blind?”
Feeling uncomfortable, Jessy slandered Annalise even more. She sat at another table and began to spread all kinds of rumors. “Hey, do you know Annalise? She used to have a boyfriend at Horington and was about to get married. When she met my cousin, Julian, she knew he was the young master of the Parks family and immediately dumped her ex-boyfriend,”
“Damn! She is too despicable and shameless.”
“That’s right. Oh, right, she hasn’t gone to school since she was young. She learned the couplets from the old people in the village. She only knows a few words on the couplets. She doesn’t know many other words.” “Also, this matter is a secret. You must not tell anyone. She lived with her boyfriend at Horington and even had aborted secretly.”
“What the fuck! Is this rumor true?”
“Shh! Don’t tell anyone.”
The other socialites were shocked.
Jessy quickly returned to her table.
Rumors quickly spread around the other tables. Everyone whispered, “Hey, did you know that Annalise Barton was indecent and had an abortion before marrying Julian?”
“Hey, do you know this? Annalise had two abortions before she met Julian.”
“Annalise had several boyfriends in the past and had several abortions.”
The rumors were getting more and more exaggerated…
Sybil, Henry, and the others sat at the table. When the rumors spread, Henry cursed. Sybil was pissed off and started arguing with someone. “What did you say? If you say another word, I’ll tear your mouth apart. Tell me, who started the rumors?”
“I heard it from Miss Smith.”
“Which Miss Smith?”
“The third daughter of the Smith family.”
Sybil immediately wanted to look for Miss Smith and question her. However, Henry pulled her back and lowered his voice. “Rumors stop at wise people. If you dig deeper now, you’ll only make the rumors worse. People will think that what’s fake is true.”
“So, we’re just going to let it go?” Sybil was furious.
Henry lowered his voice and said, “I’ll find out who started the rumors and tell Julian the source. The rumors will pass, but those who spread the rumors must pay the price.”
“Alright,” Sybil agreed.
Henry went to investigate the source.
When he saw people whispering to each other, he quietly sat over to listen. When he heard their discussion, he leaned over and gossiped together. “Is it true?”
The people who were discussing were excited. They did not know who he was and said excitedly. “Of course!” Henry had a look of disbelief on his face. “How do you know it’s true? Do you believe what others say? I think someone can’t bear to see Annalise marry Julian and deliberately spread rumors to hurt her.”
“No, the Parks family’s daughter Jessy said it!”
“That might not be true either. Mr. Parks is such a smart person. Do you think he has bad taste?”
“That makes sense.”
When Henry found the source, he went back to his table.
