Chapter 758
Nathan said, "Michael looks so passionate, Megan. You're really something. After all this time, not only did you find Joseph as a boyfriend, but you also leaned on Michael as an emotional stand-in.”
Although the Jude family was not as powerful as the Hernandez family, they could still make it to the top five in Madison. The members of the Jude family had connections in both the political and business worlds, unlike the Hernandez family, which, although strong, relied mostly on Joseph.
Michael's uncle was rumored to be a candidate for the next year's new president, with the highest chance of success among all candidates.
Today, Michael was a well-known figure in the elite circles, but he only cared for his sister.
"One should always have a backup plan," Megan sighed softly, "If Joseph dumped me one day, I can still choose Michael."
"No way. You're getting married tomorrow," Nathan smirked. “But Joseph is better than Michael after all."
"Yes, but Michael is helpful. He can support me at any time."
Megan played with her fingernails, and Michael was easier to fool compared to Joseph, Michael's love for Megan had no bounds.
Late at night, at the bar.
Michael drank one glass of strong liquor after another at the bar.
During the day, after Megan left, he stood alone at the cemetery for a whole hour.
All he felt was discomfort and heartache.
His phone vibrated. Lucas sent him a voice message, [Michael, where are you going? Joseph is getting married tomorrow; come to the club, let's celebrate for him.]
He replied: [I have something to do today, but I won't, so I will make it. Anyway, it's not the first time Joseph has married.]
After that, Michael slammed the table again. "More wines."
He kept drinking until one in the morning.
As Michael stumbled out, he collided head-on with someone coming from the other He had imbibed too much and was unable to stand steadily, causing him to fall to the ground.
The woman he accidentally collided with initially glared in discomfort, but upon recognizing the person on the ground, she gasped in surprise. What a stroke of luck - they had crossed paths at the cemetery earlier in the afternoon, and now they were meeting again at the bar with a friend who had experience working in the makeup industry abroad.
"Laura, you're in luck. You bumped into a handsome guy," the friend teased.
"Him?" Laura was speechless. "Forget it. He's the jerk who ruined my reputation. You may go back, I'll teach him a lesson."
“So, it's him. He's quite good-looking, and you could make a move on him while he's drunk," the friend joked.
Disgusted, Laura waved her hand. "No way. Sleeping with him? I might throw up the dinner I had yesterday."
"Alright, I won't bother you. Go ahead."
After the friend left, Laura walked over and kicked Michael. "Hey, do you still remember me?"
Michael, lifting his blurry eyes, grabbed Laura's thigh. "Megan, Megan, is that you?"
‘Damn it. How on earth do I look like that bitch Megan?’ she thought.
