Chapter 20 The Same Result

Not the kind to let a woman take the blame, Trevor threw Jonathan’s hand aside.

“Trevor, what’s the meaning of this?”

Jonathan turned toward Trevor with a baffled look in his eye. Despite his displeasure, he didn’t dare show a sliver of it on his face.

“It doesn’t mean anything. Since what has happened has happened, your family can choose to cancel the engagement.”

Just as Trevor spoke, he picked up his jacket from the bed and placed it over his arm before leaving the room.

Meanwhile, Melissa and Rhonda had come up into the room and were staring daggers at Jessica.

“Jessica, how could you have done this to me when I have always treated you like my own sister?”

With aggrievement written on her face, Melissa cried her lungs out, causing Jonathan’s fury to intensify.

He thought, “Now that Trevor is gone, let’s see who’s left to protect her.”

Just as he raised his hand to teach Jessica a lesson, a voice rang out from outside the door.

“Mr. Jackson!”

It was Trevor’s assistant, Martin Jones.

“Mr. Gulliford is still waiting at the door for Ms. Jessica.”

Jonathan’s hand froze in mid-air. In the end, he didn’t follow through with the slap and simply waved his hand away in exasperation.
