SWNOVELS Chapter 103 Obsession
Clay was only in his twenties as a computer genius. It was a pity that he died so young.
"Right! He was so foolish! I don't blame him!"
Pearl shouted, crying and laughing. She was in a state of madness on the verge of an emotional breakdown.
This was an old story.
Back then, Pearl transferred to an executive school after her family became rich and became Clay's desk mate.
There she had always been excluded. Clay was quiet but very easygoing, so Pearl told him anything, and then slowly fell in love with him.
However, he had always loved the princess, Daisy.
Pearl's confessing her love to Clay was accidentally seen by Daisy.
"She said that she could be Clay's girlfriend only if Clay toyed with my feelings."
Later, as expected, Clay really did as Daisy told him, but she didn't date him.
For many years, Clay had been waiting. To get to the closest place to Daisy, he tried to study abroad.
Knowing that she was to marry Andrew, Clay found that he could do nothing, so he got upset and committed suicide.
"Alas."
Jane was unable to express herself in words. Obsession could bring misery to a person.
Clay's love for Daisy was so deep and unforgettable that he just end his own life.
Everyone lived once, so no matter what difficulties one encountered, he or she should strive to live to respect for life. "Janie, you married Mr. William early. You couldn't understand my feelings."
Some people are the only light in your life like a drop of water nourishing a flower. Without water, the flower withered.
Back then, Pearl had been tricked into dropping out of school and was once depressed.
When the light disappeared, only gloom was left.
"Actually, after so many years, I don't hate him anymore. We are both poor wretches. However, I was the one who told Clay that Daisy was going to get engaged. I was the one who ruined him." Pearl blamed herself very much. She admitted that she had fought back and wanted to feel a bit of pleasure as a farewell to him.
Pearl did not expect such a serious consequence. A man passed away in a miserable manner.
"Even if you don't tell him, he will see it from the news."
Jane shook her head. Some people who had received invitations had sent posts on Weibo. According to the routine, it would become a trending topic and everyone would know about it. The marriage between a Floyd and a Cart was breaking news like an earthquake.
Pearl was not to blame for Clay's death. He chose to walk toward death despite others' well-intended words.
Furthermore, if someone should be responsible, Daisy was also the culprit.
Back then, when playing with emotions, she considered herself popular. She was so proud that she thought she could break others' hearts at will.
She shouldn't give hope to a man again and again just because she didn't like to refuse others.
"Unfortunately, Daisy could never get what she wants in the rest of her life."
Pearl curled her lips. If she wasn't mistaken, Jane had already shared the video with William so that William could know what Daisy really was. "Sorry, this is my little trick."
In the video, in a conversation with her maid, Daisy directly smashed her glass when she mentioned Jane. It was obvious how jealous Daisy was of Jane.
No wonder at the jewelry charity dinner, Daisy, who had lost, was so angry that she was like a toad with a bulging belly.
"When she left, I saw that her fingernails were embedded in the flesh of her palm. Her hand was bloody."
Pearl made it clear that she only came back for revenge and made Daisy pay the price.
Pearl would only stand to see Daisy lost everything that she had obtained. That was the retribution that Daisy deserved!
For this reason, Pearl used Jane, but she couldn't bear to deceive the one she admired.
"You're the only one who would use me and speak to me bluntly."
Jane couldn't get angry with Pearl and resignedly shook her head. As Pearl's friend, she hoped that Pearl would be happy, not waste her time on unnecessary people and things. Dwelling on the unforgettable past is no better than letting it go with the wind.
"Easier said than done. Now I have a good reason to take revenge, Clay's death."
Marriage to Andrew was not what Daisy wanted. Was it someone else who forced her to play with Clay?
After dropping out of school, Pearl was severely depressed. She once needed to take medicine to control herself on the verge of going crazy.
Doctors had suggested that she might stay in a psychiatric hospital for a while because she was overwhelmed.
"My parents can't accept it. They never gave up on me."
Pearl had a lump in her throat a few times. It took her a few years to walk out of the shadow of deep depression and self-isolation.
This person who crawled out of hell desperately wanted to bring her enemy closer to hell.
"Janie, be careful of Daisy. She is not just jealous of you. She hates you."
Pearl cleared her head and analyzed it for Jane. As she expected, there were plenty of opportunities for Daisy to cause trouble on Princess Faith. Jane had to be cautious. "Will she ruin her own engagement party?"
Jane never underestimated a woman's jealousy. It was enough to destroy people.
In the original book, the female lead was tempted to cheat on William during their marriage. Yes, she was wrong. She should pay the price, but not to such an extent as to lose her life.
Jane and Daisy exchanged blows at the charity jewelry dinner and she did not believe that Daisy was the real culprit behind the scenes.
This woman was ruthless and thought she was smart. People who couldn't even hide their emotions through facial expressions could easily give themselves away unless they were guided by an expert. "It's normal for something unexpected to happen at the engagement banquet. It can't destroy the business marriage. Otherwise, Clay wouldn't need to commit suicide."
When Pearl mentioned Clay, her heart was filled with bitterness. She could not go on talking and hung up the phone first.
As expected, within a few days, the news that Andrew, the heir to the Floyd Group, and Daisy, the heiress of the Cart Group, were about to get engaged quickly grabbed the headlines of the major news media and attracted intense attention.
The engagement party was grand and rich ladies began to snap up high-end custom dresses and handbags. The competition was even more intense than that between celebrities walking on the red carpet. As the wife of the president of the Duncan Group, Jane has a range of high-end custom dresses.
The female lead didn't have a good figure and her dressing up was intolerable to the eye, damaging brand image. In the past, when the person in charge of the brand brought some new dresses, he or she always introduced their flaws.
The implication is: This dress would be intolerable to the eye on you since you don't have a nice figure.
Ever since Jane showed her face a few times, she became the target of the brand dealer's curry favor. This time, as they learned that Jane was going to attend the engagement banquet, they sent their latest products one after another.
"Darling, are you alright now? I want to talk to you."
After dinner, Jane stood in front of the TV to block William's view when he was listening to the news.
Perhaps because they were on the same team now, William became more approachable than before. Thus, Jane pushed her luck and kept sounding him out.☐☐
