Let's Get Married

Chapter 802: Never Let Him Know

All she could do is to stay by his side. If she cannot even do that, she might as well give up as soon as possible.

"Apart from studying, I have never persevered on anything else, but this time I want to give it a shot."

Pehry says softly, "It'll be very hard."

"I know. But I'm not afraid." Jasmine does not hesitate at all, as if she is talking about something natural.

"Fortunately, I met you." Pehry isn't a person who likes to speak out his emotions, but at this moment, he says sincerely, "If it weren't for you, I would probably have given up."

The old man's pressure as well as his family's supervision would fall on him sooner or later. It is just a matter of time.

Therefore, Pehry never blames Jasmine. Even without her, he would still not be able to change this fate. He could only blame himself for being born in such a family.

They sit on the swing in the courtyard, covered with a thin blanket like a protective cover and no one can hurt them. Jasmine trusts Pehry and decides to be with him, but Pehry cannot feel relieved.

He will no longer be alone, so no matter how difficult it would be, he must work hard and give her a perfect future.

Just as they are enjoying the intimate time, the old man received the news about Stella.

"Mr. Alfred, the scandal is still spreading. Stella has already returned to the company." The butler reports respectfully. He is a little uneasy, afraid that the old man would burst into a rage.

The old man's expression changes as he is listening, "Where's Pehry?"

"In the villa."

"With that girl?"

Hearing this, the butler is somehow scared. He replies carefully, "Yes."

The old man snorts coldly, "Alright, it seems he's determined to be with that girl."

The butler doesn't dare to speak. He knows the old man has actually shown mercy about what happened. If not, he definitely wouldn't have warned Pehry so many times.

Pehry must have known the true intentions of Mr. Alfred, but he still pretends that nothing has happened without caring about it even a little bit. The butler was really worried for Pehry. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

After thinking for a moment, the old man asked again, "What's the situation about Jasmine's family?"

"Jasmine's mother, Bridget, has always opposed her being with Mr. Pehry, but Jasmine ignores that."

Therefore, their families both disagree them to be together, but they two do not care.

Mr. Alfred doesn't want to go too far since Pehry agrees to come back and take charge of the company. He knows that Pehry is tough and cares so much about that girl. It would be terrible if he pushed Pehry too hard.

No matter what, he would never allow a girl like Jasmine to marry in his family.

It was impossible in the past, and it is the same now.

Thus, the old man immediately made a decision, which is also his final plan, "Spread Jasmine's news to enemy, and let them help us deal with her."

The butler is stunned. He saw Jasmine once before. Thinking of that youthful face, he feels a bit sorry even he doesn't know her well. He couldn't help but say, "Mr. Alfred, if Mr. Pehry knows about this..."

Before he could finish speaking, the old man glares at him fiercely and said, "Now you think you can educate me?"

The butler immediately shuts up and bends down, "Sorry, I was too talkative."

The old man takes a deep breath and clenches his hands tightly. Thinking back to what happened many years ago, his expression turned cold, "No matter how he thinks about it, I must stop him from being with that girl. Love is useless for him. It will only become his weakness."

He must separate them from each other when he has the chance. So he cannot be hesitant.

"Mr. Alfred, who should we spread the information to?" The butler asked. Literally speaking, they have quite a few enemies in J city.

The old man thinks for a moment. There are already two candidates in his mind. One is the Carter family in south of J city, and the other was the Defoe family, which has just expanded. After careful thinking, he finally chooses the Defoe family.

The Carters have a deep influence in J city. Although they could not compare to Pehry's family over the years, they are not easy to deal with. On the contrary, the Defoes have less foundation in the city and are much easier to control.

The butler nods, "I'll give the order now."

…

As time passes, Stella is still focused by public. After nearly two months of continuous exposure, she is the center of attention in people's eyes. However, only she knows how much the price is.

She could not deny the scandal or admit it. The news is restricting her everywhere. She has to be "Pehry's gossip girlfriend" while worrying about her own safety.

She negotiated with Pehry before. If she has to be Pehry's "gossip girlfriend", she wants to be protected by some bodyguards. Even only one bodyguard would make her feel relieved.

Unfortunately, Pehry doesn't have the intention of protecting her. He never takes the initiative to ask her how she is. Stella also feels depressed after some time.

When would this end?

At an awards party, Stella wins the title of Popular New Star. It is not a big award, but this is her first time appearing on stage at such an occasion.

Countless audience below the stage are looking at her. Most of them reveal looks of disdain. No one would have a good impression of a new star who gets famous from a scandal.

Maybe some female stars are jealous, but more of them would look down on her.

However, Stella doesn't care about this anymore. The things she is experiencing are much more severe than this. She doesn't have the energy to care about other people's attitude.

As a result, after she steps onto the stage, she sincerely speaks the following words.

"This is the first time in three years that I've been on stage at an awards party. I know a lot has happened lately, which made many people label me. Actually, even I myself used to be like this. But it took some time for me to understand that I cannot control everything. I'll never know what would happen next second. The only thing I can do is to cherish the present. My thought has changed a lot

these days. Compared to the current fame, I miss the days when I wasn't focused. But that is over. I have become who I am now out of coincidences and inevitabilities. I just hope that you can give me some encouragement, because I have to keep on my way now. Thank you. "
