All Novel Full Chapter 275 - Emmelyn
"Just take a look at your reaction. The fact that you don't want any other woman close to him shows that you have feelings for him so why are you denying it?" Catherine asked in a serious tone.
"If my cousin had really planned to come live with me there is nothing I would have done to keep her away from Jackson and same with other ladies. You can't forbid other ladies to go close to him since you are nothing in his life at the moment so play wisely best friend so that another lady will not snatch that dashing dude under your nose," Catherine advised as a good friend would.
"Are you gonna help me like you said or not?" Jasmine said pretending as though she did not hear all Cathrine said. Actually, she heard everything and kept it at heart.
"My help will not be enough so I will call our teammates for help," Catherine said as she smiled at Jasmine.
"Teammates? What teammates are you talking about?" Jasmine asked curiously.
"You don't need to know. Let's go or you are going to be late for your meeting," Catherine said as she stood up from her seat.
"You are now keeping a secret from me, that's not fair," Jasmine said as she stood up too.
"You are also keeping a secret from your best friend too and that is not fair to me," Catherine said as she began approaching the counter. Jasmine followed her closely. After paying their bills the two ladies went back to their office.
For two days Catherine could not fulfil her promise of helping Jasmine out. On the second day, Jasmine had hung out with Elizabeth during her lunch break. After their meal, in the middle of their conversation Elizabeth left for the restroom and about two minutes later Jasmine also left for the restroom but just when she wanted to enter the long corridor leading to the restroom she overheard her sister talking to someone.
She did not know what prompted her to wait but all she know was that she stood at a corner and waited for them to finish their conversation.
"Oh, it's Miss Avans," the lady in a red short flair gown remarked on bumping into Elizabeth on the corridor.
"It's Mrs Alfred now, I am sure you are aware of that more than anyone else," Elizabeth corrected in a polite tone.
"And what is so great about that title when you are merely his wife by name? I am the one he loves, don't tell me you have forgotten about that just because he got married to you," the lady said grinning evilly. Her intention was obvious in her words.
"You might be the one he loved but I am his wife and there is nothing you can do to change that fact," Elizabeth said unwaveringly.
"And who says there is nothing I can do to change that? Have you forgotten that you will no longer bear that title if he divorces you?" The lady said not failing to maintain her evil grin.
"That will never happen Emmelyn. No matter what you do Fred will never divorce me. He loves me...,"
"He loves you? Who fed your head with such nonsense? And if he loves you like you really claim then why do I hear that he doesn't touch you neither does he make love to you?" Emmely asked to the annoyance of Jasmine listening to their conversation.
Damn that b*tch! I feel like sewing that her goddamn mouth so that next time she won't be able to spew nonsense.
Jasmine thought as she tightened her fist. If not for that she did not want Elizabeth to feel sad she would have long jumped in and given the lady her size.
"And why did he give me this symbolic necklace with our initials separated by a heart on my birthday if he really loves you?" Emmelyn asked. Her expression showed that she was having a lot of fun hurting Elizabeth.
The moment Elizabeth's eyes met the diamond necklace hanging around Emmelyn's neck with the symbol A❤E, Elizabeth confidence came crashing down.
She can still recall seeing this same necklace in their drawer at home. When she saw the necklace she had thought that Alfred wanted to give her the necklace on their first wedding anniversary. She was surprised when he gave her matching pearl earrings and bracelet as his gift instead of the necklace she saw but she never asked him what happened to the necklace because their relationship was not this good.
Seeing the necklace in Emmelyn's possession now she knows that she was not lying. Alfred did give her the necklace.
"As you can see Alfred still loves me a lot, it's a matter of time before you are thrown away from his house and life so enjoy while it last because very soon I will be the one in your shoes," Emmelyn as she smiled triumphantly. Elizabeth did not argue with her anymore, she approached the direction of the restroom.
After seeing Elizabeth enter the restroom door, Emmelyn turned to leave.
Approaching where Jasmine was standing with her back leaning against the wall, Jasmine suddenly extends her left leg and the lady who wasn't aware that she was there tripped over Jasmine's long legs.
The angry Emmelyn who almost fell face down had she not maintained her balance at the last minute turned to teach the lady responsible for this a lesson. Jasmine beat her to talk first.
"Be careful because next time I won't be so lenient. I will make sure you lose at least four teeth the next time you repeat those garbage you told my Big Sis," Jasmine said without showing any remorse.
"And who says that you can butt in our business?" Emmelyn said trying to act tough.
"The next time I see you even two metres close to Alfred I will let you know that my sister's business is my business," Jasmine said coldly.
