Chapter 164 It Was Time for a Divorce
Lily pushed her to go beyond her limits.
So, Jessica had to take their advice.
The black dress highlighted her curves, adding a touch of mystery.
Her hair was in a high bun, with a few strands framing her face perfectly.
Lily suddenly noticed the bracelet on Jessica's wrist.
"Oh! The Pink Heart?" she exclaimed, grabbing Jessica's hand. "Jessica, where did this come from? Did James give it to you? Wait, didn't he buy a necklace?"
Lily remembered the bracelet was reserved long ago, so it seemed impossible to get.
Could it be that James reserve it for Jessica?
Jessica quickly pulled her aside and whispered, "Don't make a fuss. It's a synthetic diamond, a birthday gift from Jack, which a client gave him."
"Synthetic?" Lily asked, surprised. She thought, 'But this bracelet looks so beautiful, not cheap at all.' Since Lily had never seen the real Pink Heart, she couldn't tell if it was genuine. However, many high-quality replicas had appeared since the Pink Heart was introduced.
Jessica teased, "Look at you! How about I find an identical one online for you?"
Lily grinned, "Nice! These synthetic diamonds are really beautiful, even better than the real ones. They match your makeup and outfit perfectly today."
After getting ready, they headed to the socialite ball.
The ball was a gathering of the elite, with stunning beauties everywhere.
As soon as they entered, they saw a crowd gathered around someone.
Curious, Lily and Jessica walked over. They found James and Rose at the center, receiving compliments.
James was in a custom black suit, one hand in his pocket, the other holding a wine glass, looking elegant and composed.
Around Rose's neck was the expensive necklace James bought—the Pink Heart.
Everyone at the ball knew about James’s extravagant purchase. Seeing the necklace on Rose made it clear she was on track to become Mrs. Kelly. Her flaunting it showed her new status.
Jessica stood frozen, her heart sinking with shock, disappointment, and hurt.
Lily fumed beside her, "This is outrageous! James brought his mistress out in public. Jessica, go back today and divorce him! No more soft-heartedness."
Jessica's response was calm but firm. "Okay,"
This was the final straw. It was time for a divorce. James had been distant and cold, likely waiting for her to end it. Now it was clear the reason.
But why had he asked if she liked the necklace? Why play such cruel games?
To avoid more trouble, Jessica and Lily moved to another part of the hall.
Some wealthy young men approached to chat.
Knowing Jessica wasn't in the mood, Lily blocked them and chatted with them herself.
