Chapter 286: "It seems unlikely. She previously lived with the Reeves family, but now she's suddenly part of the Nixons?" "Real or not, her roots matter little here. At best, she's the daughter of Tyrone's only daughter. She doesn't share the Nixon last name. I doubt she is treated with respect by the Nixons. This banquet is likely all a facade for the public." "And let's not forget Kallie and Jake's miserable marriage. Sarah has consistently meddled in their relationship. If the Nixons really cared about Kallie, wouldn't they have confronted the Millers?" "Oh, the !" Sarah, overhearing the whispers, could barely contain her anger, her expression darkening. She gracefully lifted her gown and glared at the gossipers.
"Enough with your baseless chatter! I've said it before. Jake and I are in love. Kallie means nothing. That scheming bitch coerced Jake into marriage using her family's leverage.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Nixons are too embarrassed to defend her. Besides, her so-called identity is undoubtedly fabricated. The Reeves have hinted at her mother's impoverished background. Perhaps Kallie resorted to disgraceful measures to assthis false persona." Instead of joining in Sarah's ridicule, the guests exchanged knowing glances, smirking at her outburst.
One boldly retorted, "Rumors have it that you have a new partner, Miss Miller. Congratulations are in order. By the way, weren't you adamant about marrying no one else but Jake? Why the breakup with him at this point?" "Don't you get it? Miss Miller is always chasing the next big thing. Years ago, she left Jake for greener pastures and moved overseas, only to return later since finding her best option was to reconcile with Jake. Now, Jake's chances of inheriting the Reeves estate are slim, and he's likely to be cut off completely. Miss Miller will obviously look for someone better." Sarah's expression shifted constantly. She clenched her teeth, her voice quivering as she retorted, "How can you say such things?" But her words fell on deaf ears. The others continued their conversations, ignoring her.
Many had frowned upon Sarah's involvement in Jake and Kallie's marriage.
In their social circle, power was everything. Jake was once the center of attention, and no one in Burmoos could rival the Reeves family. At that time, nobody dared to mock or cross Sarah, who was then seen as Jake's chosen one.
But things had changed since Sarah and Jake split up. Seeing Jake stripped of his influence, Sarah left him for another man, an act considered disgraceful among their peers.
Though they wouldn't confront Sarah directly, they didn't hold back their sarcastic remarks.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFeeling like everyone was judging her, Sarah was both hurt and angry. Wasn't Kallie supposed to be the one suffering this fate? Why had her life turned out this way? To her frustration, Kallie, that fucking bitch, had becpart of the affluent Nixon family, living a life of luxury.
