Chapter 699 Futile Regret

Jennifer hastily fled and headed to a location where few people go. She lifted her head to look at the sky, forcing her tears to cease.

A wave of sorrow washed over her. You should stop appearing in my life if you don’t love me, Carter.

“Don’t you feel bored standing here alone when it’s so lively inside, Ms. Larson?” Behind her, Jennifer heard a woman’s voice, which startled her.

Instantly, she raised her hands to wipe away the tears before turning around. It was Isabella who had, at some point, followed Jennifer out.

 

Jennifer raised her chin. “Ms. Walker.”

Isabella handed Jennifer a cocktail. “Have a drink. It’s a crime that you don’t have a glass of booze in your hand when the night is as enthralling as it is now.”

Jennifer accepted the cocktail but subconsciously kept her distance from Isabella.

 
 
 
 
 
 

“I’ve heard some of the stuff said about you, Ms. Larson,” Isabella started. She took a sip of her cocktail and continued, “I’ve also seen the videos circulated wildly online. I’m truly sorry for what happened to you. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance. I’d be more than happy to help.”

Jennifer glanced at Isabella and smiled. “I don’t think we’re close enough for that, Ms. Walker.”

Isabella chuckled as she raised her glass to clink it with Jennifer’s. “We certainly do not know each other in the past, but we do now. I believe this is fate. We will become friends as we share the same enemy, don’t we?”

 

Jennifer gazed at Isabella intently. She asked, feigning ignorance, “What exactly are you on about, Ms. Walker? I’m afraid I don’t exactly get it.”

After taking a second sip of her cocktail, Isabella raised her head to admire the brilliant moon in the night sky. The weather that day was spectacular. The sky was clear, creating an inky canvas for the moon and the constellations.

“Since I came here to find you, Ms. Larson, it’s obvious that I know about your issue,” Isabella started. “As for your mom’s—”
