Chapter 17 A Dispute
Esther took a step back to avoid his touch and sneered, “James, do you plan to tell me that you and Anne are just friends and that I have misunderstood you? Or are you going to tell me that Anne and you didn’t mean it and that you love me? Don’t try to fool me!”
“Anne and I don’t take it seriously.” James hurriedly explained and quickly took out a small red velvet box from his pocket. “Look, this is the earrings I bought for you in the capital. They’re the pair you saw in the magazine last time, but you couldn’t find it. I skipped work and searched for it for a whole day.”All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Esther took the red box in his hand and opened it. It was indeed a pair of earrings that she had once fancied. It looked beautiful and shiny. Esther looked up at James. “This is the surprise you want to give me?”
“That’s right.” James suddenly looked at her and said, “Don’t you have a surprise for me? What’s it?”
“I have just given it to you? Compared to the surprise you and Anne gave me that night, wasn’t it shocking?” Esther smiled and casually tossed the red box to the trash can. “I don’t like these earrings anymore. Thank you for your kindness!”
“You….” Seeing that she threw away his earrings, James was instantly enraged.
“James, stop fooling me. I saw what you did clearly and heard everything you said to Anne. But it doesn’t matter. I should thank Anne for snatching away a good man like you. Otherwise, after getting married, I still have to bother with how to catch you having affair with other women.” Esther smiled indifferently, “Besides, I’m already your uncle’s wife now. You can feel at ease and marry Anne. In the Gibson family, I’m your aunt. In the Cusack family, you are my brother-in-law. It’s good that we don’t get entangled with each other.”
After that, Esther turned around, about to walk into the hotel.
James had a guilty conscience, but he had been spoiled since childhood. How could he stand it? He immediately pulled back Esther, who was about to leave. He then shouted angrily, “Esther, even if I cheated on you, you can’t marry my uncle just to get revenge on me. Do you know who my uncle is? Have you seen him? Do you love him? Even I have never seen him, and I’m afraid of him. How dare you marry her. Do you want to die?”
After a pause, he continued in a mocking tone, “Is it because he is the fourth young master of the Gibson family? Do you really want to marry into my family that much?”
Hearing it, Esther was somewhat afraid. Even James found Terence terrifying. How terrible could Terence be?
However, the marriage had become absolute. She could only grind her teeth and endure it. She pretended to be indifferent and shrugged her shoulders. “That’s right. I just want to marry into the Gibson family. It doesn’t matter if he’s ugly, sick, or terrifying. As long as he is a Gibson, that is enough!”
“You….” James said angrily, “Do you want men that much?”
“You are right. But no matter what, I will never accept a scumbag like you again!” Esther twisted her wrist and said sternly, “Please let go of me!”
“You call me a scumbag? I think you’re a slut. You’re willing to do anything for money!” James angrily waved his hand and threw her to the side.
Esther was wearing high heels and happened to be standing next to a staircase. James threw her down the staircase, leaving her head crash into a black car.
