Chapter 187
Alicia’s expression grew uglier. She lowered her voice and said, “Elise, I knew you were faking it! You don’t want to divorce Jonathan. You’re just trying to get his attention, aren’t you?”
“So what if I am? What does it have to do with you?”
I tilted my head and cast a casual glance. “You didn’t break up our marriage, and now we’re back together again. Isn’t that what you wanted? That’s what you told Jonathan, right?”
She marched up to me with a clenched jaw and spat out, “Even if you get back together with him, I’ll still be the one that matters most to him! He just hasn’t figured out his feelings for me yet,
Elise!”
“Oh?” I raised an eyebrow. “Didn’t you say there was only a sibling bond between you two? Now you’re claiming that he hasn’t figured out his feelings for you yet. So, what kind of relationship do you two have? I’m so confused!”
“Elise!” she suddenly shouted, clearly shaken.
I shook my head. She was not worth my time. I pushed past her to leave.
She suddenly called out behind me. “Elise!”
I stopped in my tracks but didn’t look back. Then, I heard her voice, tinged with resentment.
“Just remember this. This sibling bond between Jonathan and me is all thanks to you!”
I raised an eyebrow and turned to look at her in surprise. “So, I’m the one who forced you two into the sibling mold?”
She said nothing as she continued to shoot me with a venomous glare.
I looked away. I couldn’t be bothered to get into a tussle with her.
She was clearly past the point of no return. What else was there for me to say?
Just as I was about to leave the office, Gabrielle caught up to me. “Elise!”
I stopped and turned to look at her. “What is it?”
