Chapter 1076
“It doesn’t matter if I’m pleased or not, it won’t change the fact that I’m Jasper’s wife,” Imogen retorted angrily.
“Also, you came to my house and said those things just to make me misunderstand. Your tactics are nothing but pathetic and foolish.”
No one had ever insulted Yulia to her face like this before. Imogen was the first.
Yulia was furious. She grabbed her teacup and flung its contents at Imogen.
The sudden splash of water stunned Imogen, leaving her momentarily frozen. As water trickled down her face, she was enraged.
Yulia pointed at Imogen and warned, “Imogen, there’s nothing I want that I can’t get, including people. Just wait, Jasper won’t stay with you for long!” With that, Yulia grabbed her bag and left.
Imogen stood up and called out, “Yulia, stop right there!”
Yulia stopped in her tracks. Just as she turned around, she was doused with a cup of water from Imogen.
Yulia shrieked, feeling flustered and dumbfounded. She was so shocked that she glared angrily at Imogen.
Yulia couldn’t believe Imogen dared to splash water on her. She clearly had a death wish!
“You dared to splash me?” Yulia screamed. She had never been so humiliated in her life. At that moment, if looks could kill, Imogen would have been dead by then.
“An eye for an eye,” Imogen said.
Yulia gritted her teeth and pointed at Imogen. She warned, “You dare to mess with me? Imogen, you’re dead meat!”
With that, Yulia stormed off.
At that moment, Imogen seemed calm, but she was actually panicking. She then took out a tissue to wipe the water off her face. Suddenly, her phone rang. It was Jasper. She answered and Jasper’s voice came from the other end. “Imogen, where are you?” “I’m having coffee with a friend,” Imogen replied softly.
Jasper quickly apologized, “I’m really
sorry
out last night. I don’t k
what got into me to bring up
p having
a baby. Can you forgive me?
Imogen hurriedly interrupted, “I’m fine, Jasper. Please, stop apologizing. You did nothing wrong.”
“Where are you? I’ll come pick you up,” Jasper offered.
Imogen nervously declined, “It’s okay. I’ll just take a cab home. You don’t have to come all the way here to pick me up.” “Alright. Take care.”
“Will do,” Imogen replied.
After hanging up, Imogen smiled to herself.
She realized that when you truly liked someone, you couldn’t bear to take your anger out on them, even if there was another woman causing trouble.
Imogen had thought Yulia was just a spoiled rich girl, but she was terribly mistaken. Her mistake was grave.
Relying on her status as Jasper’s wife, she had the courage to fight back when she was bullied by Yulia.
However, that splash of water on Yulia led to disaster for her family.
The next day at noon, she received a call from her family.
Carol had lost her job. Gregory had been attacked and hospitalized.
Her parents’ home was reported for illegal construction. A group of officials brought a construction team to her home to demolish the roof.
Unexpectedly, demolishing the roof
was just a cover. They smashed a big hole in the roof of her house, dismissing it as an accidental construction incident.
Upon receiving the call, she rushed to the hospital to visit the injured Gregory.
