Chapter 58 It Came so Fast
There was no heating in the back kitchen, and the water in the taps was even cold and biting.
They didn’t even have dish towels, and they washed the dishes entirely by hand.
The greasy vegetable leaves stuck to their hands and the two were dry heaving.
Their hands were already purple with cold and they were shivering with cold.
What was more frightening to them than the cold was their inner despair.
Knowing that the situation was already tense, neither of them could think of a way to cope with everything.
Gloria had to break down at the mere thought that she was going to be locked up until the day before the wedding.
The thought that she might lose her father altogether broke her even more.
The same was true for Sara.
She didn’t know what she should do if Allen insisted on getting a divorce next.
She was really scared of divorce.
She didn’t know how she should go on alone in the future in case of a divorce.
It was easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Could she really bear the huge difference in status before and after the divorce?
After washing several dishes in a row, Gloria couldn’t take it anymore and turned her head to look at the prison guards and complained, “I’m a pregnant woman, is it appropriate for you to treat me like this?”
“If the boss says it’s appropriate, then it’s appropriate, cut the crap! Or I’ll break your legs!” One of the guards behind them scolded in a cold voice.
“How dare you!” Gloria looked disgruntled.
“Wanna try? As long as the surveillance is turned off, no matter what I do to you, no one will know.” The other prison guard threatened.
Gloria’s scalp tingled and her arrogance died down.
She reluctantly turned around and continued to wash the dishes, her heart full of grievances.
The coldness in her body made her want to cry.
“Jocelyn, that bitch, she mustn’t get too carried away! Even if things are all settled, Faraday Apartments may not be completely sold. Like I said before, a property that has had a scandal is not easy to be sold.”
“Let’s hope she doesn’t sell a single flat next! The rest are ruined in her hands! She’ll have a face full of pimples! She’ll end up with pimple marks!”
As soon as the words left her mouth, Gloria began to curse Jocelyn.
Now she couldn’t wait for Jocelyn to die.
“Yes, you’re right.” Sara snorted coldly.
“If the rest could not be sold, dad will question her ability.” Gloria said through gritted teeth.
A prison guard rolled his eyes.
Gloria’s eyebrows furrowed as she turned to him, “What do you mean?”
“What do I mean? Don’t you know that all of the Faraday Apartments products have been sold out?” The prison guard’s eyes were full of mockery.
Gloria and Sara were instantly dumbfounded.
No one could believe their ears.
She immediately put down her chopsticks, looked at the guard and asked, “Are you lying to me? How is this possible?”
How could Jocelyn manage to handle the crisis and sell the house at the same time? And were those buying the house crazy too? Why would a house with a scandal still be bought so frantically?
“It has been reported that the previous scandal at Faraday Apartments has been proven to be a rumour, and the Murphy’s has now made public various supporting documents such as the police’s investigation records.”
“And the property was also sold out as early as yesterday, and it’s reported that it’s all thanks to Jocelyn Murphy. She is now unanimously praised for her abilities.”
“Many people have even brought out comparisons between Gloria and Jocelyn, criticising Gloria as being worthless.”
Just at this time, the financial channel in the hall reported the news of the Murphy’s.
The words that poured into their ears were like cold nails, knocking raw on their ears.
Gloria was seething with anger, completely baffled as to how on earth Jocelyn had managed to do it.
By now Jocelyn should be happy. She hated it! She was jealous! She was not convinced!
Sara couldn’t help but wonder what was going to happen to her Gloria if she got kicked out.
No, she couldn’t allow that to happen!
In a moment of inattention, Gloria’s hand, which was washing the dishes, hit the iron tap hard.
Her fingers, which were already frozen, were in excruciating pain.
She cried out in pain, and then shook her hands in pain.
But even so, there was still no relief at all.
“What’s all the fuss about? Keep working!” The prison guard chided coldly.
“Don’t you see me …”
“Yes, even so, you must continue to work, if you dare to slack off again, I will teach you a lesson!” The prison guard once again threatened in a cold voice.
Gloria was angry and anxious, but she could not find a second way but to endure it.
In the end, she could only grit her teeth and force herself to do the dishes, her grievances rising to the extreme.
In the end, tears fell down.
In all her years of life, she had never been so aggrieved as she was now. It was all because of this bitch Jocelyn! Ever since she was little, except for the years when Jocelyn turned into a fat, ugly girl, as long as Jocelyn was around, she, Gloria, would always be aggrieved!
…
After having breakfast at home, Allen went straight to the office.
Although, he did not mention a word about his grief, Jocelyn still felt it truly.
Because Paige informed the meeting at ten o’clock, Jocelyn quickly finished eating her things, then went straight upstairs to put on light makeup, changed her clothes and drove her sports car out the door.
After arriving at X Entertainment, she first booked a place to meet with Noah on WeChat for the evening, after which she began to get busy.
…
7pm.
After finishing the last bit of work she had done, Jocelyn stretched out tiredly before glancing down at the Chanel limited edition white watch on her wrist.
Seeing that there was only half an hour left before their appointment, she immediately pulled out her make-up kit from the drawer and quickly fixed her make-up.
The make-up on her face was very light, with only foundation, so it didn’t take much effort to make up.
After the make-up was done, she tied her long hair into a high ponytail.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Her bare forehead was exposed, not highlighted but with its own highlighting effect, perfect and full.
The white shirt, paired with a tight black suit and black high heels, was fairy-like and gentle with a touch of competence.
The waist of the suit was tightened just enough to reveal her delicate figure.
After finishing her make-up, she drove straight to her date, with-you restaurant.
As soon as she entered, she attracted the attention of countless men in the restaurant.
Ignoring the awe-inspiring stares, she stepped on her high heels and headed straight upstairs to private room 2208.
Glancing down at the time, she was there on time.
She pushed open the door of the private room.
