Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption by Lilyheart

Chapter 243: Tricia is a viper

Jessica, with calmness and poise that felt both unsettling and dreadful to Tricia, made her way back toward the ballroom.

But Tricia wasn’t ready to give up—not yet.

She couldn’t afford to lose this one chance to get back at J&D.

She had never expected the tide to turn this fast—and all from a single post. The impact was staggering.

Seeing how the tables had turned with just a single post, she felt her pride wounded, her jaw clenched in anger and frustration.

She had meticulously planned it, very sure it was foolproof but then a single post crumbled her hard work.

If a mere whisper from Jessica had been enough to shake the ground beneath J&D, what would happen if she could lure her to the Watts Group?

Tricia didn’t want to imagine the impact Lady Bright’s name could bring on the Watts Group. If she could convince her to work with them, the leverage alone would be massive.

"You’ll regret walking away," Tricia called after her, frustration and warning lacing her venomous tone. "Opportunities like this don’t come twice."

Jessica paused but didn’t turn. Her voice floated back, calm and composed. "True opportunities don’t come wrapped in betrayal," she said coldly, turning her head slightly, enough to let a cold smirk lift the corner of her lips.

Her words cut deeper than any blade. She didn’t even need to raise her voice. Triciacs body trembled in anger.

She watched her walk with an air of detached power that made her stomach churn. That calm indifference, that frightening ease, was unbearable.

Jessica couldn’t decide if Tricia was just naive and foolish or just blinded by her obsession with revenge and payback?

She had initially wanted to talk some sense into her, but it had quickly become clear: Tricia’s thirst for revenge was deep and consuming.

It was the kind of desire that devoured everything, even its bearer.

If Tricia didn’t rein it in, it would destroy her.

Either she learned to control it, or she will pay the price for her obsession.

And now, after being out of the hall for so long, Jessica was sure Davis was already searching for her—and probably furious.
