Chapter 215 The man in her life
Mariana fell on top of glasses and drinks.
Glass shards pierced her body everywhere. But worse still, a few bottles fell on top of her.
Liam had tried to grab her, but Alice stopped him.
He pushed Alice aside and tried to grab Mariana, but it was too late. She was already hurt.
He quickly held the injured Mariana as Henry and Jennifer rushed to take care of her.
Liliana called to ready the ambulance and went to the kids. The children were frightened by the turn of events.
Everyone froze as an unusual amount of blood began to flow from Mariana’s lower body.
While everyone was worried that she could be badly injured, Alice thought to create a scene by shouting.
“Oh! My! God! Is she having a miscarriage?”
Everyone looked at Mariana and Alice agape.
Liliana looked at James, who stood dumbly like a frozen statue. She shook her head in disappointment.
She signaled her assistant Alice and Jonathan’s assistant Vincent to handle everything. She hugged the shaken kids and consoled them.
Alice McDraw and Vincent understood what she meant right away. Vincent saw the guests off while Alice worked with her PR team to suppress any unnecessary news.
The PR team was working to prevent leaks, especially the picture of the kids. Now, they had one more task at hand.
Liliana looked at Jonathan, and he understood her unsaid words.
Jonathan went to the Jacobsens and told them not to worry. He drove them behind the ambulance.
Henry would take care of Mariana. The ambulance was already ready downstairs. Mariana would get treated immediately, and Alice would pay for everything. The Jacobsens understood Jonathan’s words but could not get a grip.
They had held back previously because of the Millers, but this party had proved it unnecessary.
They were concerned about Mer but also comforted that she was in good hands.
At the same time, they were also concerned about the man in her life.
Mariana had told them about James playing games with her for revenge, and they had seen the live stream before.
Now, they did not know what to think anymore.
James only unfroze after he felt someone shaking his arm. By then, Mariana was gone as well as most everyone.
He felt electrocuted at Alice’s touch. He immediately pushed her away and slapped her hard in the face.
The remaining guests looked at them and saw James’s red eyes and face contorted with anger and fear.
Mr. and Mrs. Miller were shocked to see such a violent reaction from James.
James grabbed Alice by the neck and threatened, “Count your days, Alice. I will pay back in kind.”
He rushed outside to follow Mariana, but his parents held him back.
“Let me go!” He roared.
His father rebuked him for being disrespectful, but he only laughed, “Respectful?”
Mr. Miller was angry and tried to hit James. Mrs. Miller stopped her husband and pointed at the guests.
The remaining guests left hurriedly to give the family their privacy.
Mr. Miller shouted at James as soon as they were left alone, “How dare you to talk back?”
James continued to laugh.
“You are right, Dad. I should thank you instead.”
“Thank you for bringing this tramp to this party.”
“Thank you for helping her create and deepen the misunderstanding with the woman I love.”
“Thank you so much for encouraging her to slander the love of my life.”
“Most of all, thank you for protecting the person who killed my unborn child.”Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
He looked at his shocked parents and added.
“And Mom – I used to date this bitch when we were abroad. That was until I found her having a threesome with my roommates.”
“Ever since she came back, she has only created misunderstandings between Mer and me. And framed and slandered her without any provocation.”
Mrs. Miller was horrified and denied instinctively, “You are lying. She is not that kind of person.”
James could not help but laugh as tears trickled down his eyes.
“Since you like her so much, why don’t you take her as your God-daughter? And you better do that quickly because I will make sure to pay back every hurt she has caused Mer.”
James shook his head and added sadly before leaving.
“I finally realized why Mer never trusted me. I have only caused her endless misery.”
“Even now, she is bloodied and battered because of me and possibly miscarrying my child. But, I am not with her.”
He smiled mockingly and added.
“While her friends are there for her, I am far away. No wonder she has no expectations from me and never fought for this relationship. Why would anyone like someone as unreliable as me?”
Mrs. Miller had never seen James that wretched. She felt heartbroken for her son.
They decided to follow him to the hospital.
They left Alice behind and told her to inform them when she reached home.
