Chapter 48
“Let me explain it to you again. You know that Finn is an orphan. Back then, he relied on financial aid to go to school. Coincidentally, it was my father who funded him. Don’t think too highly of my dad. As a successful businessman, he always takes profit as his starting point. His goal is to highlight his greatness to promote the development of his industry,” Monica said everything in one breath. After calming herself down, she continued, “The first month after Finn graduated, he came to the hospital with a gift to thank my father. The two of us bumped into each other. Then, I fell in love with him…”
“Then, I pursued him to the point that everyone knew,” Monica said, “My dad also quite liked Finn, so he was very supportive of it. When Finn and I were extremely close, Finn’s old lover appeared, so we broke up. The night we broke up, I met Michael at the bar. He stayed with me the whole time. When he sent me home the next day, he said that he liked me and had liked me for many years. He also said that the best way to forget someone is to start another relationship. I believed him.”
“The Rosses have a high status and power. They look down on us merchants and think that plutocratic families like mine stink of money,” Monica said nonchalantly, “That was why Michael’s parents forced him to break up with me and even sent him overseas. At that time, things didn’t go well either. My dad felt that he couldn’t keep his reputation. He wanted to let people know that his daughter didn’t have to be a Ross, so he threatened me with his life so that I’d marry Finn.”
“I was afraid that you’d be angry.” Monica was a little flustered and exasperated. “You were made so miserable by Eden, yet I was dating his best friend. I even felt that I wasn’t a loyal friend and despised myself!”
“Last night, a certain someone wasn’t summoned, so he vented his anger elsewhere,” Nox explained with a smile, “I’m just informing you and also reminding you how narrow-minded someone is. Ms. Lawrence, be careful.”
“I was also very hurt,” Monica complained, “Back then, you didn’t know how painful it was for me to see Finn sleeping with his old lover! It’s not easy for you to see me alive now!”
At this moment, there were many people and even a few media outlets present. It was as if they were planning to make this wedding stir up a sensation in South Hampton City.
“Today, as Eden’s best man, I was unable to pick up the bride due to some urgent matters. Now, I have to make up for it. Please excuse me.” Michael appeared very polite.
It was rumored that Eldest Young Master Winter was the closest person to Edward. He was said to be cruel and cold-blooded… This rumor was probably too far off.
Nox felt a murderous gaze circling the back of his head. He quickly wiped the corner of his mouth and let out a dry cough. “You can pretend that I don’t exist.”
Who told her to stay far away from Fourth Master Swan? If Edward knew he had asked Jeanne to stay far away from him, he would die without knowing how he died!
Nox’s face immediately changed, and his expression was serious. “Pretend that I didn’t say anything. No, no, no. Pretend that I don’t exist.”
“I just can’t get past that hurdle in my heart, but it’s fine now. We’ve broken up anyway.” Monica looked like she was not troubled any more.
Jeanne had just brought George out of the car when she saw Teddy respectfully walking toward Fourth Master Swan and whispering in his ear.
“Michael Ross,” the man introduced himself, “I’m Eden’s best friend. When Eden was in love with you, he stood me up quite a few times.”
“How can that be?” Jeanne smiled slightly. At that moment, she even introduced him to George generously, “George, this is Uncle Nox.”
