Chapter 216

Jason became more disappointed as he watched on.

Stood aside, Celine was deeply apprehensive. Upon seeing the man’s darkened expression, she stepped forward slowly and cautiously said, “Brother Jay, I’m sorry. I didn’t know there’d be so many reporters today.”

He raised his head to look at her and the corners of his lips twitched into a dismayed sardonic smile.

“You really didn’t know?”

Her heart skipped a beat.

When his eyes met her, she felt so exposed that she quickly averted her gaze before nodding slightly.

“I really had no idea. I would have reminded you otherwise.”

“Oh? Really? I thought it was you who informed the reporters to catch me in the act! But it seems like I’ve misunderstood you.”

His words, said in such a deep tone, did not sound convincing to her ears.

For reasons unknown to herself, Celine suddenly felt diffident and afraid. With that, she forced a smile and took a step backward.

“Brother Jay, why will you think that of me? We’re getting married soon. I have no reason to do that.”

“Really? After all, we’re still not married yet. What if I change my mind suddenly? Today’s news could be publicized and it’ll confirm our marriage.

If I really do change my mind someday, then this news will be the sharpest weapon that could be turned against me, not to mention it could exonerate you from the responsibility, making you the victim between us two. It seems to me that this could bring you plenty of advantages.”

Colors immediately drained off her face.

She looked at Jason as if he was a monster.

The man rose to his full height and started walking toward her direction. Each step he took seemed fueled with a calm yet cruel force.

He suddenly extended his arm to strangle her.

“Celine Jennings! It’s evident that you have plotted a scheme against me but you’re still trying to lie! Who do you think I am? A massive fool that you could hoodwink?”

He spat those words through gritted teeth. The force coming from his arm could almost snap the woman’s neck into half.

Flustered, she struggled to pry his fingers from her neck. She staggered several steps backward until her back hit the wall behind the desk.

“Bro... Brother Jay, I can explain...”

Her face looked as read as a ripened tomato. It had taken her a lot of effort to squeeze those words out of her throat.

Jason’s face was dark. Looking at her, he could not wait to tear apart her hypocritical facade.

“Explain? What more can you say? Do you really think I have no idea of the good deeds you have done behind my back all these years? I simply didn’t confront you because of our relationship.

But now that you’re intending to use me! Do you think I’m as stupid as Nell? That I can be controlled by both your mother and you?”

With a flung of his arm, he threw Celine onto the couch.

The woman quickly gasped for air now that she could finally breathe, but she also started to cough uncontrollably and painfully.

However, he looked at her indifferently as if she was a dirty rag.

“From today onwards, we’re done! Tell your snobbish grandma that the marriage is canceled. Morton and Jennings will not be related anymore! Tell her not to come looking for me.”

He left after that.

The woman was bewildered.

She grabbed hold of the man and asked through a shaking voice, “What do you mean? That we’re done? I’m your fiancée. You said you’ll take responsibility for me. How can you end it just like this?”

He threw her a sarcastic glance. “Fiancée? How can you have the cheeks to lie about that?”

Celine was shocked.

She had never expected to hear these hurtful words from the man standing in front of her.

She shook her head violently and said in a near-crying voice, “Brother Jay, you tacitly agreed back when we first got together. I wouldn’t have slept with you if you didn’t permit me.

But now you’re calling me names because you want to break up? Brother Jay, don’t speak against your conscience.”

Jason pulled a long face. “I wouldn’t have been tricked if you hadn’t seduced me. I wouldn’t have come this far with you.”

“You!”

She was exasperated. The man flung her arm away nonchalantly before replying in a low voice, “I always thought you were a gentle and understanding woman. But after spending all this time with you, I finally realized that’s not true.

I’m sick of your superficial gentleness and kindness. I didn’t leave you right away so that people wouldn’t think that I’m a cruel person.

But you’ve really crossed the line today! You know I hate being used. I have already agreed to marry you and give you a nice wedding.

Despite that, you ungrateful brat organized a surprise attack with the reporters, thinking to threaten me with this lowly move? Ha! I’ve been too lenient with you that you’ve forgotten your position. You’ve brought everything that has happened today upon yourself. You can’t blame it on anyone else!”

Then, he pushed her aside recklessly and headed for the door in big strides without looking back.

Celine was so flustered, she thought of running after the man. However, she was stopped by the secretary standing by the door.

“Miss Jennings, sorry, but the President is heading to a meeting. Don’t worry about seeing him out.”

Celine instinctively thought of throwing a fit but forced herself to contain her rage as she was reminded of Jason’s attitude earlier.

So, she flashed a weak smile after taking a long exhale.

“Alright, I understand. That was only a harmless fight between Brother Jay and I. Every couple does that, right?”

The secretary looked to the ground, refusing to comment.

Celine clenched her fingers. “Well, I’m taking my leave since I’ve got something else to take care of. I’ll look for Brother Jay another day.”

Only then that she took her leave.

......

Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 Some people pointed out that she was trying to use this bombshell to cover up the upsetting news from a few days ago. However, that was not the main concern among the majority of netizens.

They cared more about the fact that the legendary perfect couple was finally about to tie the knot.

Not long after, Celine’s private studio published a new post on their social media account.

It consisted of several photos taken after Celine was injured, as well as a basic injury report and a lawyer letter.

[Someone’s trying to cover up their misdemeanors by employing distraction tactics. Celine’s beautiful inside and out. The innocent party shouldn’t have to defend herself but that doesn’t work for every case. It’s mandatory to turn to the law for protection. The true mastermind should wait for the punishment!]

Soon, Celine’s personal Weibo had shared this post too.

This then sprung heated discussion over the internet.
