Chapter 253
Third person's POV
Jessica was chatting with her friends. Then, she received a call.
She excused herself and then answered the call, with joy on her pretty face.
However, after Jessica hung up the phone, the smile on her face faded.
More people cto the party. Jessica was standing at the door. She froze.
There were several of Jessica's friends standing outside the door. Then, someone cuninvited. It was Lillian.
Lillian was dressed up, and she was stunning. Standing outside the door, the light fell on her, and for a moment, Jessica was overshadowed by her.
"Hi, Miss Hall, am I not welchere? These are my friends. I just cback from abroad and didn't know many places to hang out. So, I thought why not cto your party," Lillian said with a graceful smile.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJessica was young and inexperienced. She couldn't handle such a situation, or, at least, she shouldn't show it on her face.
"Jessica, this is Lillian. She owns several fashion brands. You will see each other a lot!" a woman said.
"I see. Since you're here, why don't you cin?" Jessica thought it would be rude of her to refuse Lillian in front of friends. She could only endure the displeasure in her heart and let Lillian cin for a chat.
Lillian thanked Jessica and walked in elegantly.
Catherine was watching Jessica since she had no better thing to do. Jessica was still standing there, so Catherine stood up and walked towards her. She patted Jessica on the shoulder. "Jessica, what's wrong? Are you disappointed that he didn't come?"
Jessica turned to look at Catherine and grabbed her hand. "Catherine, let's go out for a chat!"
Catherine was stunned. Then, Jessica pulled her hand and walked toward the door.
Leo narrowed his eyes while watching them leave the party. His face turned gloomy instantly. What was Jessica up to?
Meanwhile, Jessica dragged Catherine to a remote corner of the corridor.
Catherine was puzzled since Jessica left her birthday party. She looked at Jessica in confusion and asked, "Jessica, what's wrong? You seem unsettled!"
"I need your advice, Catherine. How should I deal with Lillian? Should I pour swine on her face? Or, are there others I can do?" Jessica panicked, pacing back and forth in front of Catherine.
Catherine's eyes widened and found it amusing. Jessica was so anxious that she couldn't even speak properly. Catherine said, "Jessica, there's nothing to be worried about. Today is your birthday. Don't do anything silly."
"Catherine, you have no idea. Did you see that woman who just walked in? The one in the blue dress? It's her. She is my rival," Jessica said as she tapped her thigh.
Catherine was stunned. She recalled carefully, but she had no impression of this woman. "I didn't see her. Are you saying that she cto celebrate your birthday?"
"I didn't invite her. I have no idea why she is here. I guess she's here to challenge me. Catherine, what should I do? Is she here to bullybecause I am young and inexperienced? I hate her so much! Why
did she chere? I could not shut her out before so many people. It would makelook petty." Jessica almost burst into tears. Lillian's sudden appearance caught her off guard.
Jessica's eyes were red and she was so anxious. Catherine realized that Jessica was indeed in trouble.
"Jessica, calm down. Are you sure she's here to make a scene?" Catherine felt aggrieved about Jessica after listening to her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I don't know. She is elegant and doesn't look like she's here to make a scene. Maybe she is here to show off her pretty face and hot body. She wants to humiliatein that way. I'm certain of it." Jessica lowered her head to look at herself with little confidence.
"I can't stand such a woman." Catherine was furious. People like Lillian made her sick.
"Anyway, she is already here. When she cin, all the guys were staring at her. Do you think Cedrick will be attracted to her, too? She is Cedrick's ex-girlfriend. I heard that she dumped him back then. First love is said to be the most memorable, right? I am so worried. I had a crush on Cedrick for three years. It was so hard forto finally be with him. Catherine, help me. Have you ever been through anything like this? What did you do with her? Is there anything you can share with me?" Jessica placed all her hopes in Catherine.
"Jessica, I'm afraid I don't have much experience. Blake doesn't have an ex-girlfriend." Catherine did not know how to help Jessica.
Catherine could tell from Jessica's face that she needed advice urgently.
"How about just ignoring her? I don't think she would make a scene at your birthday party." Catherine was suddenly interested in what the woman looked like.
How could that woman make a nice girl like Jessica scared so much?
"She won't make a scene. I think she just wants to overshadowin every possible way. She wants to show off and be recognized for her perfect look." Jessica ground her teeth angrily.
"Did you call Cedrick? Does he know that his ex-girlfriend was trying to give you a hard there?" Catherine believed that Cedrick was the key to this matter.
"He called just now and said that he was not coming. He would send a present instead. I was disappointed at the time. But now, I do not wish him to come. What if he is seduced by that woman?" said Jessica, in a pique.
"Jessica, be confident. Anyway, you're younger than her, right?" Catherine could think of no useful suggestion, for Blake had always been on her side, and had never placed her in such a position.
A woman's happiness, it seemed, depended on how much her man indulged her. She would have been the happiest woman in the world if she had been the only one in his eyes.
