Chapter 54
Brenda continued, “The most important thing right now is to keep Jonathan in check”
After a while, Jeffrey sighed and muttered, “At this point, our best bet is Alicia.”
Brenda added, “Alicia grew up around us, and we know how she is. She shouldn’t be too hard on us. Besides…”
She took a pause and pursed her lips. “She couldn’t afford to come off as too petty in front of jonathan,”
jeffret nodded and frowned, loolding like he just remembered me. “Elise shouldn’t be a problem, right?
Brenda shook her head. “It’s no secret she is just a wife on paper. No one gets why Jonathan suddenly decided to marry some nobody from outside the circle.”
I couldn’t help but call my eyes at that. What did he mean by “some nobody“? Weren’t we all just regular people?
But honestly, I wasn’t surprised. People in those circles usually tawned over the powerful and looked down on anyone who wasn’t one of them.
However, what baffled me the most was why I still chose to many into their circle when I already Imew their true colors.
When I was 18, I wouldn’t have stooped that low, If people didn’t respect me, I wouldn’t go crawling after them, not even if I was in love.
I kept listening. Just as I expected, their sympathy was merely a mask for how much they looked down on me.
Brenda remarked, “I did feel a little bad for Mis. Ford. People were just waiting to see her make a fool of herself. No one took her seriously as Jonathan’s wife. 1 wouldn’t be surprised if she played dirty to get him to marry her.”
Jeffrey muttered, “Forget about her. Anyone could tell Alicia was the one the Ford family cared about.
Brenda nodded and sighed. “Even so, she was officially Jonathan’s wife, If he gave her that title, why didn’t he treat her properly?”
Jeffrey knitted his brow together and asked, “Are you throwing shade at me
Just as he stepped inside, there was a lock at the door. He walked over and opened the only to find jonathan standing there in a towering manner.
Fredenck’s expression darkened, and he tried to close the door. “What are you doing here?”
Jonathan raised one hand to stop the door from closing, his expression cold and unreadable. “Winge is that bottle of First Low?”
Fredericknickered. “I broke at the bar, so I threw El out. What’s wrong?
The au around jonathan seemed to be freezing, as if the temperature here had plummeted. He stepped inside without hesitation. “Hand it over. Don’t make me Search for L –
Frederick stood in front of jonathan, Booking upset. “What gives you the right to search my room? Get lost. You’re not welcome heng.”
Jonathan shoved Frederickside and couglu sight of me behind Frederick. His face instantly darkened. “What are you doing in his room, Elise?“
