Jackson strolled over to Annieâs side, scanning the scene. âLojone geen doen my ques here Considering Jacksonâs status, someone spoke up. âStems Lanie was indeed seating in from âOhr/Jackson inquired. If she was right there, how the manage to path someone into the vmming pool from behind?
Selena tugged at the personâs skin who just spoke up leading the person to quiddy dange her statement. âSorry. I was just chatting with someone and didnât catch that dearly. Could have been mistaken.
Jackson pressed on. âIf you werenât clear on the details, how can you wear it was Annie who had a hand in Jessicaâs tumble The other person was left in silence instantly.
Yolanda felt a twinge of jealousy Jackson never cared about any girls in Bearics before I once mustered the courage to wy hi, but he didnât even book my way! Why is in that Annie, of all people, managed to get him to speak up for her?
Without a second thought, she exclaimed deliberately. âThatâs because Jessica accidentally stepped on her skin. So when Annie pulled it, Jessica fell into the pool Annie couldnât help but smile faintly, knowing she had scored a victory.
Jackson nodded knowingly.â ver, M. Yolanda Sanders. So youâre saying that if a car is following traffic rules and someone suddenly runs into the road and gets hit, itâs the driverâs fault entirely After all, the car hits the person, right?
Yolanda didnât catch on. âWhat do you mean?â
Jessicaâs expression turned icy. âYolanda, stop Anybody with a bit of sense could grasp the metaphorâthis was a setup. Clearly, the blame lay with Jessica for stepping on Annieâs skirt, but they stage it to make it look like Annie pushed her inter the water, almost like a planned incident.
The once outspoken group now stood silent, unable to utter a single word.
âYawn. Letâs go,â Jackson remarked casually, hands ill in his pockets, showing little interest.
The socialites gazed at him walking away, unable to come back to reality Annie, however, furrowed her brow tightly, pondering his final words, spoken just for them to hear -Tl see you in the garden.â
âIs Mr. Hudson really here for your birthday bash, Jessica?â Selena questioned, wearing a perplexed expression. While Jeremyâs attendance made sense due to family ties, having Jackson in the mix was a whole different ball game. What kind of strings were pulled to bring that big shot inf âJacksonâs just showing some respect,â Jessica replied, forcing a smile. She wasnât sure why Jackson was there, but she had to roll with it.
Selena was puzzled. âBut why is he speaking up for Annie?â
âMaybe heâs just feeling bad for Annieâ Jessicaâs smile wavered, her nails biting into her skin to maintain her composure.
The crowd looked at the miserable looks on Jessica, unsure who deserved more pity.
Yolanda quickly changed the topic. âSpeaking of which, whereâs Mr. Chandler?â
âI just saw Jeremy going to find Annie.â Someone gestured towards the direction Annie had left.
Jessicaâs facade finally cracked, âAnânic!â
