Reckless Marriage Unyielding Love

Chapter 11

Juliet's pulse jumped when she finally spotted the person she had long awaited.

Mikayla, all too familiar with Juliet's crush, tried to cool her jets. Juliet, you're the heiress of the Klein family, for goodness' sake. Be cool!"

"Come with me, Mikayla, please?" Juliet begged, swinging Mikayla's hand anxiously.

Seeing Juliet all flustered and the guy standing out like a sore thumb, Mikayla just sighed.

"I knew it! I knew you'd back me up!" exclaimed Juliet, linking arms with Mikayla as they made their way across the room.

Juliet's crush was Brantley Lindstrom, the eldest son of the Lindstrom family. Mikayla couldn't help but wonder if fate had a hand in drawing them both to the Lindstrom brothers. While she and Jaxon had once shared a mutual love, Juliet's feelings for Brantley had always been unrequited, a story the whole town knew. Juliet's infatuation with Brantley had persisted for so long that it seemed almost unbelievable. Mikayla recalled Juliet declaring, "I've completely fallen for him in this lifetime!" Noticing Juliet's grip on her hand tightened, Mikayla mused, 'Juliet only gets nervous and quiet around Brantley

Mikayla knew Brantley well through Juliet and Jaxon. The Lindstrom family had a long-standing history in the business world, yet Brantley took another path, primarily due to his deep-seated animosity toward Hugo. Brantley was Hugo's son from his first marriage. After the death of his first wife, Hugo married Queenie Lindstrom, bringing her and their young son Jaxon into the family.

Queenie and Jaxon were actually Hugo's mistress and his illegitimate child. Right after his first wife passed away, Hugo couldn't wait to marry Queenie. This caused a huge scandal, but Hugo managed to keep it under control, and the rumors eventually died down. However, Hugo's favoritism toward Queenie and Jaxon only fueled Brantley's anger.

For ages, businessmen had sought to gain favor with government officials. Mikayla guessed that Brantley likely hoped Hugo would eventually come to curry favor with him, just as others did, to prove himself. Brantley was exceptionally talented in his field. Within just a few years, he had become the dark horse in the workplace and attracted significant attention. It was highly likely that he would become the next mayor. And now, he was surrounded by various businessmen of Xosa, each eager to toast with him.
