Chapter 13 This Is What You Bumped Into
In Aletta’s mind, the moment of a few years ago popped up uncontrollably.
On the night of her wedding with Jason, Gail ran to the bridal lounge and said arrogantly, “Aletta, you’d better give up your engagement with Jason, or you will regret it forever.”
Aletta ignored it.
Noticing that she didn’t get any response, Gail pretended to fall down the stairs. In the end, she suffered years of abuse and accusations for nothing. To this day, people still indiscriminately poke her back with this matter.
Aletta originally thought that she wouldn’t feel anything about these things now, but at this moment, standing in front of these people seemed to be drawn into that painful memory again. Somewhere in Aletta’s softest heart, someone had pressed her down. It didn’t hurt, but it was a bit blocked.
Her expression became a little more indifferent.
‘Forget it. These are all people I don’t like, so why do I have to be here?’ she said in her heart.
Thinking about it, she held the hem of the skirt with her fingers and was about to leave. She was planning to find another opportunity to ask Herman in the future. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Who would have thought that before she was about to leave, her gaze fell into Jason’s sight? The two were caught off guard and looked at each other. Everything around them became silent at this moment.
Jason’s face froze, his expression froze suddenly and a dark fire surged in his eyes.
‘Why is this woman here?’ he thought.
Soon, his eyes turned cold and his aura became icy.
Gail, next to him, shuddered inexplicably and realized something was wrong when she looked at the man. Then she said, “Jason, you okay?”
Seeing that Jason didn’t answer, she followed his gaze and saw Aletta’s figure immediately.
Gail was shocked, her body trembled uncontrollably and she almost knocked over the goblet. Her eyes were locked on Aletta’s body, her face was shocked and she couldn’t believe it in her heart.
If she remembered correctly, Aletta in the past was a country bumpkin with no sense of taste and no way of dressing up. She looked like a village girl. But now, it seemed like she was completely reborn. The whole person had fair skin, a good figure and was wearing a very high-end dress. The face was beautiful and the temperament was outstanding. Wherever the whole person stood, she was the focus of the audience.
Gail bit her lips tightly. A strong unwillingness and jealousy rose in her chest.
Then she turned her head to see Jason staring at her intently and the sourness in her heart continued to flow out.
She gritted her teeth secretly and couldn’t help cursing in her heart, ‘This woman… Why did she come back? Isn’t she abroad?’
Herman, who hadn’t left yet, also noticed the change in Jason’s face and looked back curiously, then he was stunned for a second.
It was a face that had never been seen before, but her temperament and appearance were so dazzling that it was hard to ignore.
He withdrew his gaze, smiled at Jason and said, “What’s wrong? Mr. Hill, do you know this lady?”
Jason let out a cold snort from his nasal cavity, his expression was contemptuous and his tone of the answer was also icy, “Mr. Wolff, how can I know her?”
Aletta was not far away and the pace she was about to walk suddenly stopped, then she laughed at herself inwardly. People didn’t know her at all, so why should she leave?
The cold eyes glanced at Gail again. If she walked away, it would appear that she was being sentimental. Aletta figured it out and immediately felt at ease. She even turned her head around and walked in this direction in her high heels. Of course, she came here for Herman.
Jason looked at the woman approaching step by step. The dress was like the waves of the blue ocean and it was shockingly beautiful under the lights.
Gail heard Jason say he didn’t know her, but his eyes never moved away, so she couldn’t help clenching her fists tightly, causing her palms to hurt. In addition to being filled with. jealousy, there was also a hint of coldness in her eyes and her eyes gradually darkened.
‘Aletta, you bumped into this, so don’t blame me. I will make you embarrassed,’ she said in her heart.
Aletta didn’t know what was going on in her mind and walked in front of several people calmly. She smiled politely and was about to introduce herself to Herman.
But Gail asked tentatively, “Aletta, is that you, sister?”
Her voice was not too loud, but it was enough for everyone around to hear.
After hearing that, everyone was stunned. Everyone seemed to recognize the name. Then, they looked over with surprised expressions.
Herman was puzzled when he saw someone approaching to talk to him. After listening to Gail’s words, he gradually remembered the old things about the Hill family. A playful look flashed across his face and
he put one hand in his trouser pocket, looking at the upcoming drama before him.
Aletta frowned, secretly suppressing the discomfort of being surrounded by crowds and looked at Gail with icy eyes. Her intuition told her that Gail would say something to make her embarrassed.
Gail pretended to be pleasantly surprised, stepped forward very excitedly, held Aletta’s hand and said with an expression of disbelief, “It’s really you, Aletta. You are back.”
Aletta’s face darkened and she glanced at her eyes. A feeling of nausea couldn’t help but well up in her heart. This woman still loved to pretend, as always and her demeanor had not changed.
Aletta lowered her head, shook off the other party’s hand and said, “Who are you?”
This thorny question stunned everyone.
Gail also had an embarrassed expression on her face. She put her hands down resentfully, smiled embarrassedly and quickly. said, “I’m sorry, I was so excited. But I can’t be wrong. Aletta, when did you come back? Why haven’t I heard of it?”
“Did you go back to Rogers’ house? These years… mom and dad are quite worried about you.”
Gail seemed to meet a good sister whom she hadn’t contacted for many years and her attitude was very familiar.
Aletta smiled coldly, her eyes narrowed slightly, with an aggressive sense of beauty.
‘What? They care about me?’ she thought.
Even though Gail had no blood relationship with the Rogers family, she still called them “Mom and Dad,” which meant that, in their eyes, she no longer existed.
Gail’s purpose was nothing more than to show off.
Aletta said immediately, “First of all, I’m sorry, I don’t know which family you’re talking about. I’m unfamiliar with it and I don’t even know it.”
Her tone was very calm, as if it had nothing to do with what Gail said.
“Secondly, I don’t have an older sister. Please, respect yourself and don’t mess around with your relatives. After hearing that, I felt a little disgusted.”
