Chapter 471 Discovering the Affair (1)
It was precisely because of this that she didn't fantasize about such a beautiful future like Lily did.
Meanwhile, Rose, who was abroad, saw the video of James confessing to Jessica and was utterly shocked.
She thought that under such pressure, James would definitely distance himself from Jessica.
But she didn't expect that even after being secretly married to Jessica for more than two years, he wouldn't clarify their relationship to everyone. Instead, in such a dire situation, he confessed to Jessica in front of everyone.
Rose clenched her fingers so tightly that the pain of her nails digging into her palms couldn't compare to the pain in her heart.
To win James's heart, she had sacrificed so much, tried every possible way, and even as a dancer, she had ruined her legs.
But what about James?
He kept her hidden abroad like a mistress, while the status and position she had always longed for were all given to Jessica!
Rose's face twisted in rage as she smashed her phone!
She trembled all over, gritting her teeth and saying, "James, why do you treat me like this? I hate you, I hate you! I will never let you and Jessica be happy!"
After several days and nights of hard work by James and his team, the public opinion was finally suppressed. Not only that, but James and Jessica even gained some popularity online.
Many people were shipping them as a couple, and James's initial confession to Jessica garnered a lot of goodwill.
Jessica felt like the whole sky had brightened.
However, now that the hospital and school knew Jessica was the wife of James from The Kelly Corporation, it caused quite a stir.
The principal and the dean not only didn't blame her but also sent their condolences, concerned about the injury on her wrist.
They even gave her a long vacation to recuperate, so she didn't have to worry about her internship.
Only Nathan felt a mix of emotions as he watched the news continuously ferment and then get suppressed.
He had opened Jessica's Facebook page countless times, only to close it again.
He told himself that he was Jessica's teacher and couldn't have such thoughts about his student.
He had mentored so many students, and Jessica shouldn't be the most special one.
Besides, she was so happy now, as anyone could see from the photos of her tightly hugging James, showing how much she loved him.
Nathan smiled self-deprecatingly and tossed his phone aside.
The Kelly Family's old mansion.
James didn't go to the company today and was specifically at the old mansion organizing Gerald's belongings.
Jessica also went over to help him sort things out.
Although the recent turmoil had subsided and Jessica was in a good mood, she could sense that he was unhappy.
So, she cautiously asked, "The court session is tomorrow. Are you all prepared?"
"Yeah."
James responded softly, seemingly unwilling to talk more.
Jessica glanced at James's gloomy expression and asked gently, "Everything seems to be resolved, but you don't seem very happy?"
James kept flipping through the photo album repeatedly.
Sitting on the floor by the floor-to-ceiling window, he asked faintly, "Do you, like them, think I'm too ruthless for taking my own family to court?"
Only then did Jessica realize that beneath James's cold expression was a heart riddled with wounds inflicted by those closest to him.
She sat beside him, leaned on his shoulder, and comforted him, "Of course, I don't think that way. Anyone would fight back if their family treated them like that. James, I know why you're sad now. If a person's own family turns against them, it's indeed a very sad thing. But you did nothing wrong; the fault lies in their greed."
