When she left, He went crazy 

Chapter 122 I Didn’t Invite You! 

Chapter 122 1 Didn’t Invite You! 

1 was drinking milk when I heard Elissa’s last words floored me. I choked hard, coughing as I tried to catch my breath. Once I recovered, I playfully poked Elissa’s cheek. “Can you have a little self–respect?” 

“Eight figures, I can’t handle it, but you can,” Elissa said dreamily, clearly overwhelmed by the thought of the money “Honestly, for that kind of cash, a little compromise isn’t such a big deal. Besides, Evelyn Valence is his dad’s woman. Nothing could’ve happened between them.” 

“Get that idea out of your head,” I responded firmly. 

As Elissa and I were preparing to head out, I dropped a bombshell. “By the way, Brenda is still pushing for Christopher to marry Evelyn Valence.” 

Elissa, fastening her high heels, looked at me in disbelief. “What? She’s been in a coma for so many years, practically brain–dead, and didn’t she have a huge fight with Evelyn Valence the other day? Now the mother and daughter are on the same side again?” 

“Who k 

knows.” I said with a shrug as I picked up my bag and opened the door. 

Elissa’s imagination ran wild. “Do you think there’s something more sinister going on?” 

I asked, “Like what?” 

Elissa s eyes widened as she speculated. “Like Charlie, Brenda, and Evelyn all getting involved in something kinky?” 

Her words were outrageous, and she even backed them up with twisted logic. “The mother and daughter sharing one man. What else could explain their sudden truce?” 

My eyes widened in disbelief as I glanced at Elissa. No way.” 

“Mrs. Valence definitely has some unique tastes,” Elissa remarked just as we stepped into the hallway. The door at the other end opened, and Jerry looked out with a mischievous smirk. 

I groaned internally. Why did Jerry always show up when the topic of the conversation got kinky? 

I glared at him helplessly. “Do you have a habit of eavesdropping?” 

“I’m in my own home.” Jerry replied, his hair tousled, adding to his laid–back, unruly vibe. “This is “This is listening openly.” 

Not being as quick with words as Jerry, I didn’t bother arguing. “Fine, we have errands. We’re leaving.” 

Jerry called after me. “Where are you headed?” 

“Got some things to take care of,” I replied tersely.

“Wait,” Jerry said, disappearing back into his flat. He reappeared with a dress box, handing it to me lazily. “Wear this tonight.” 

“Okay,” I agreed. Being Jerry’s date and having him provide the dress was no big deal, so I accepted it without a second- thought. 

Jerry glanced at his watch. “Meet here at five.” 

It was already past two. With evening rush hour, I’d have to head back almost immediately after arriving wherever we were going. “That is impossible.” 1 protested. 

Jerry smirked. “Possible.” 

Thinking about the recording Jerry had, I had no choice but to agree. Looking for an office would have to wait another day. 

When I returned home with the dress, I saw a message from Elissa: [I’ll keep looking. If you finish early tonight, call me anytime, and we’ll celebrate your birthday.] 

[Okay.] 

After replying to Elissa, I got a call from Cecil. Cecil asked if I had time for dinner tonight. I declined. The banquet would end late, and I wouldn’t make it in time for dinner. 

Later, I transferred the money Christopher had given me back to him, then went into the bathroom to wash my hair and take a shower. Just as I finished changing into the dress, there was a knock on the door. 

I opened the door to see Jerry still in his casual clothes. “Let’s go.” 

Jerry’s gaze fell on me, a look of amazement in his eyes, and he smirked. “Nice collarbone.” 

I replied, “Thanks.” 

Such a specific compliment was very much Jerry’s style. 

But strangely, this kind of comment could easily come off as sleazy, yet Jerry’s version sounded no different from You look nice. 

It didn’t make me feel the slightest bit of resistance; instead, it felt like a genuine compliment. 

Jerry’s car matched his personality perfectly–a flashy Pagani sports car. 

When we arrived at the hotel entrance, the security guard’s eyes lit up, just like Elissa’s did when she saw the extra money in my bank account today. 

Jerry, still maintaining some gentlemanly manners, tossed the car keys to the security guard and personally opened the car door for me, though his words were as sharp as ever. “Take it slow. If you fall, it’s fine, but the dress is expensive.” 

I recognized this dress as a high–end custom piece from a certain brand when I saw it at home.

Many celebrities couldn’t even borrow it. 

Although Jerry’s words weren’t pleasant, they were true. The company was in the startup phase, and money was needed everywhere. I couldn’t afford to ruin the dress. 

I carefully lifted the hem of the dress to avoid stepping on it with my high heels, nodding. “Got it.” 

Jerry was taken aback. “Why are you being so obedient?” 

I said, “I’m just plain broke.” 

Jerry asked, “Mr. Valence doesn’t give you money?” 

I pursed my lips. “He’s always been generous with money.” 

Just stingy with affection. 

And now that I would become his ex–wife, no matter how generous Christopher was, it had nothing to do with me. 

Jerry raised an eyebrow but said nothing more, leading me inside. 

Suddenly, I remembered something and asked, “The other day at the party, you didn’t have a date either. Why do your need one today?” 

Jerry explained nonchalantly, “They doesn’t pressure me to get married.” 

It seemed that today’s birthday party host was very close to the Hammer family, 

Soon, I found out whose party it was. 

Kimberly’s birthday party.
