The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 86 She Abandoned You

Jameson watched Marion, and instinctively, he wanted to walk over to her. However, as he took a step in Marion’s direction, he witnessed Lucas’s hand gently landing on her lips.

The man’s movement was tender, and Marion responded with a shy charm. It was a very intimate public display of affection.

Jameson felt a sharp twist in his chest, wishing he could go over and take Marion away immediately. Yet, all he could do was watch them as he realized that Marion would not even spare him a glance.

The bitterness in Jameson’s throat intensified. Next to them, Ruby noticed Jameson’s fixed gaze on Marion. His expression grew increasingly unpleasant. It seemed he intended to approach Marion, and she could not bear it any longer.

“Mr. Royce, our table is over here,” Ruby intervened. Jameson finally tore his eyes away from Marion and followed Ruby to their seats on the other side. Their table was about seven or eight meters away from Marion's.

Once seated, Jameson's gaze hardly left Marion. Ruby felt like a clown as her emotions reached their peak. She let the utensils in her hand fall prompting Jameson to glance in her direction.

“Jameson, can you show some respect for me?” “Sorry.”

Jameson diverted his gaze and looked across at Ruby. “I believe you should understand that I’m here today out of courtesy and respect for you.”

He never liked Ruby, and today’s appearance was only because of Bernadette’s threat. If he had known he would encounter Marion here, he would never have agreed to the dinner.

Ruby’s face turned pale. “Is it because of Marion?”

He did not deny it but his silence confirmed it. After all these years, as long as Marion was present, she could never catch Jameson's eye. But what did Marion have that was so special?

If she truly loved him, how could she marry Lucas in just a short month and a half? Ruby found Jameson laughable. “Do you really think Marion broke up with you because of Sally? Don’t be naive,

Jameson. Even an outsider like me can see it. You and Sally had no issues. Can't you see it? After twelve years of a relationship, she quickly marries Lucas. Do you think it’s just because of you and Sally?”NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Wake up. She just wants to marry into a prestigious family! Now that she’s found someone even more prestigious than the Royces, she abandoned you!”

Jameson's face turned cold. “She's not like that.”

“Then tell me, why did she marry Lucas in such a short time? Did she have a previous relationship with Lucas? No! Is a month and a half of affection worth more than twelve years?”

“What right do you have to talk about her?”

Jameson stood up furiously and left. Before leaving, he glanced over at Marion and Lucas’s table. The two were engrossed in conversation, and Marion’s ears were turning red. It made his heart ache.

Jameson clenched his hands by his side. Ruby’s words echoed in his mind repeatedly.

Ultimately, rationality prevailed. He gritted his teeth, and with a heavy heart, he turned and walked away.

No, she was not that kind of person.

Ruby watched how Jameson paused to look at Marion for several seconds before departing. She was infuriated!

The waiter rolled in a serving cart and placed the first course on the table. Ruby finally averted her gaze, picked up her knife and fork, and began eating.

It was an authentic French restaurant, and since she was already there, there was no point in leaving without savoring the experience. Besides, Ruby did not believe for a moment that her words had not stirred up some ripples in Jameson’s heart. She was in no hurry. With Sally out of the picture and Marion married to Lucas, Ruby was confident that, sooner or later, she would be the one to marry Jameson!
