Chapter 452
Pearl was thoroughly enjoying herself because of Jenny’s twisted expression. But she had turned Eric down many times, saying she had a boyfriend.
“Pearl was only fifteen back then, a young woman who had just gone abroad. I saw her fighting for justice for another young woman at the college’s entrance. Her swift and powerful moves amazed me, and I began to notice her.” Eric’s expression softened as he talked about that memory.
However, Jenny picked up on something from his words. “Eric, you’re the son of an oil tycoon. Why would you pay attention to such a rough woman?”
Dissatisfied, Eric stared at Jenny. “What are you talking about? I might even like you more if your personality wasn’t so different from Pearl’s.”
Blood drained out of Jenny’s face. She asked Eric, clinging to a glimmer of hope, “Eric, do you like Pearl?”
“Yes, I do. I want to marry her.” Eric’s answer was unexpected but straightforward.
“But you said you liked me!”
“Yes, I do like you, but it’s because you look like her, especially your l*ps. I like you very much, but I like her more.’
It was unbearable for Jenny. Both Richard and Eric, the two men she was proud of, liked Pearl. Yes, there was Richard too.
“But Pearl has a boyfriend. She doesn’t like you!”
Her words only made Pearl’s expression turn sarcastic instead of awkward. “Miss Jenny, do you think everyone hides things like you?”
Blushing, Jenny turned to Eric. “Don’t listen to her nonsense!”
“I know Pearl has a boyfriend, and I hope he treats her well. If not, I’ll make him pay.” Eric wasn’t upset by it, but he felt a little regretful.
As a result, Jenny collapsed, squatting on the floor, and began crying and wailing without caring about her image. “You said you’d marry me when you’re thirty. Did you lie to me?”
Eric frowned. “When did I say that? I might have joked about it when I was drunk.”
“Jenny, have you forgotten what you’ve done?” Pearl reminded Jenny, watching her pitiful sobs. “How can you cry like this in front of everyone?”
She finally realized that Jenny loved no one but herself. Jenny loved Richard because he was young, handsome, and had a promising future. She loved Eric because he was rich, powerful, and good-looking. In short, all she loved was her own benefits.
Trembling, Jenny looked up at Eric with red eyes. “Don’t listen to her crap, Eric!” She knew that she would lose everything if she lost Eric’s favor now.
When Eric came to Caplein, he spotted Jenny right away and pursued her passionately, He even promised to give her everything she wanted if she dated him.
At that time, Richard had nothing to offer her. So, she naturally accepted Eric and broke
up with Richard. Then, she started living with Eric abroad, while the latter kept his promise to support her financially.
