Chapter 139
Marilyn’s words enraged Judith.
Judith looked at Marilyn’s mocking face with sharp eyes, saying, “Mrs. Chaney, that’s slander. The man you saw last night is my friend. And there is nothing going on between Mr. Taylor and me.” Judith tried to break her hand free from Frank’s. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
But Frank held her hand tight, refusing to let go. Judith instantly had the urge to tear Frank to pieces. Frank was making enemies for her while she only wanted to live a peaceful life. After she met Frank, Judith found that she was getting engaged more and more often. Marilyn glanced at the two hands holding together, the smile on her face growing colder.
Marilyn sneered and said, “I saw it with my own eyes. You got the nerve to deny it. “Was the man dining with you last night a ghost?” “Mrs. Chaney, people tend to misjudge the people they don’t know well. I have the right to dine with anyone I want. You don’t know me that well. What makes you think you have the right to judge me?”
Judith was fuming. She had a bottom line. If anyone touched her bottom line, she had to stand up for herself. “Listen to that! You know, I almost believe you’re a decent girl, but I’m not that stupid. Don’t play tricks…” Frank interrupted, “Mrs. Chaney, you are going too far!” “Frank, I’m doing this for your own good. What did I do?” Marilyn stared at Frank, looking hurt. She had always treated Frank like a son. “Judy, let’s go!” Frank said and took Judith out.
“Judy…” When Marilyn heard the name, her heart instantly ached. Marilyn turned around and shouted in distress, “Frank, are you doing this because she shares a similar name with Jodie? But she’s not her! Aren’t you going to wait for Jodie? Are you going to give up on her?” Frank stopped and turned around. With a cold smile on his face, he said in a flat tone, “Mrs. Chaney, you gave up on her first. I will never give up on her. She will return to me sooner or later.” She was already right by his side. The only thing
they needed was a paternity test. Marilyn listened to his words and looked at his cold face, trembling involuntarily. Why did Frank say that she gave up on Jodie first? Why would she do that? She wouldn’t. Why would she give up her only daughter? “Frank, I … I didn’t…” Marilyn looked miserable, but she did not know how to explain. It was she who had insisted on bringing Ann home. Frank was angry but also felt somewhat sorry for Marilyn. In the end, he turned around and took Judith away. Judith did not miss Marilyn’s painful look. Judith looked back repeatedly and saw Marilyn standing rooted to the spot looking painful. A moment ago, Marilyn had been arrogant, but now Marilyn was as weak as a fragile porcelain doll.
Judith felt very upset. Frank didn’t let go of Judith until they went into the elevator.
Judith shot him a dirty look. Frank gave her a gentle smile in return. Judith didn’t know what to do with this man instantly. “You have someone you love. Why are you doing this to me? Don’t you know that gossip can drown someone?” Judith demanded. She already figured out what Marilyn meant.
