Chapter 6 The Surrogate Bride
Anne was slightly surprised. She did not expect Esther to tell Betty so quickly. However, she did not feel flustered. Instead, she smiled, “I went out with James. What’s wrong?”
“You….” Esther was furious. “James is my boyfriend!”
Damn it. Anne didn’t feel shame at dating Esther’s boyfriend!
Anne still had an arrogant expression. “You and James are unmarried. James is your boyfriend, not husband. Besides, he told me that he didn’t love you anymore. He has been chasing me recently. I think you heard what James said just now that he wanted to tell you his decision.”
Esther stared at Anne in astonishment. Anne knew that she was in the car just now.
Was Anne the one who sent the message? Did Anne deliberately lure Esther to watch the passion show between her and James?Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“Anne! Shame on you!” Esther gritted her teeth and spat. She was so angry that tears almost came out of her eyes.
Anne smiled, “Shame on me? James has fallen in love with me. Besides, Esther, you are going to marry that invalid Terence soon. It’s useless to keep such a playboy as James.”
After Anne finished speaking, she walked up to Esther and whispered in her ear with a sneer, “Esther, you are correct. I steal James from your on purpose and intentionally let you see our date. Because I want to completely defeat you and your mother. Both of you don’t never think about having a good life. Do you want to marry into the Gibson family as James’s wife? Forget it! ”
Esther looked at Anne’s cute smile and gnashed her teeth angrily, wishing she could immediately pounce on her and tear her mouth apart.
However, Esther knew that as long as she dared to attack Anne, the one who would end up in trouble would only be her mother, so Esther had to hold back her anger.
“Anne! Terence is not an invalid. He is the fourth young master of the Gibson family and will be your brother-in-law. You have to respect him,” Betty, who has been silent for a long time, finally said.
“Well….” Anne nodded.
Esther had already found out whether Terence was sick or not when she was in the Gibson’s. What disappointed her was that her grandmother had made up her mind to ask Esther to marry Terence for fifty million. It was ridiculous. Anne, Esther’s elder sister, had not married, and the Gibsons anointed Anne to be Terence’s wife. However, Betty forced Esther to replace Anne, not even giving Esther the right to resist.
When Doris heard what Betty said, she immediately became anxious and pleaded with tears in her eyes, “Mom, Esther has already said that she would not marry Terence. Please don’t force her.”
“Shut up!” Betty shouted at Doris.
For the sake of her daughter’s lifelong happiness, Doris continued to plead without any fear, “Mom, you can’t push Esther into the living hell!”
“When have I pushed her into the living hell? Don’t you have a clear estimation of your daughter? It is her fortune that Terence is willing to marry her. Previously, she said that she and James were in love, but now James didn’t even want her. What qualifications does she have to be picky? Five years ago….”
“No, no!” Doris suddenly grabbed Betty’s wrist and shook her head. “Mom, please don’t mention it. Don’t mention what happened five years ago….”
