Reborn From Oblivion by Christia Muray

Chapter 871

Back in the day, I was such a bookworm, completely lost in my academic world. Kelly's teasing just flew right over my head. I never imagined she'd actually push for our families to set up a marriage between us. When your dad found out, he freaked out and pulled out all the stops to block the marriage between us and Kelly.

At first, I thought he might have had a thing for Kelly himself. But then, it hit me- his real goal was to prevent the Stewart and McCoy families from teaming up. If we combined forces, it would've left the Rowland family out in the cold in the

business game.

Fate had other plans, though. When I hit college, I fell hard and fast for Vivian's mom the moment I laid eyes on her. When Kelly got wind of my romance with Flora, she was understandably upset but took it like a champ. She gave me a reassuring pat and said, 'Since you've found someone who truly loves you back, I'm stepping aside.'

That night, Kelly had quite a bit to drink, and your dad was showering her with attention. What exactly went down is still a mystery, but the very next day, Kelly announced she and your dad were an item.

The whole situation left Jules and me on edge. Poor Jules had been carrying a torch for Kelly for so long. In the end, Kelly chose a guy she wasn't really in love with. Jules kicked himself for not confessing his feelings sooner. He always seemed to be just one beat behind in chasing after Kelly.
