The Bride’s Revenge (Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce) novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20 Jameson’s Idealistic Thoughts 

Jameson tore the contract and tossed it away. The air in the room tensed up as other executives, who had just come out of the meeting, discreetly passed by, avoiding confrontation. As Jameson’s secretary, it was inappropriate for Joe Sedwig to simply leave without a word. 

He stood to the side, attempting to minimize his presence. However, no matter how inconspicuous he tried to be, he could not escape Jameson’s attention. Jameson glanced at him and demanded, “Give 

me your phone.” 

Joe’s face turned pale as he handed over his phone. He glanced at Jameson and reluctantly extended his phone. “Chairman Jameson.” 

Jameson took the phone without a word. Seeing that it was locked, he was about to speak when Joe, nervously, stepped forward and used his fingerprint to unlock it. 

Jameson’s face remained stoic as he entered Marion’s phone number on Joe’s device. This time, 

Marion answered promptly, “Hello, this is Marion.” 

“It’s me,” Jameson replied, suppressing his emotions. Despite his efforts, Marion could still discern 

the heaviness in his voice. 

Her expression turned cold instantly. Lowering her head to look at her still–braced leg, Marion spoke icily, “What’s the matter? We can discuss it tonight.” 

She ended the call abruptly. Jameson opened his mouth, but before he could utter a word, a busy tone echoed from the phone. When he tried calling again, he was met with the same busy signal. Marion 

had blocked Joe’s number. 

Jameson felt a mix of frustration, powerlessness, and fear. The understanding and considerate Marion he once knew seemed to have disappeared. Of course, he could comprehend Marion’s anger. D 

In these days, he deeply reflected on his actions and acknowledged that what he did that day was truly 

hurtful. However, he had no other intentions; he only wanted to save Sally. Marion’s accident was an unexpected tragedy, and he had not anticipated the distress it would cause him. 13 

During her more than a month–long stay in the hospital, Richard and Cassie had urged him to leave. Yet, he could only secretly stand outside her ward in the late night, watching her sleep peacefully. 

Having known each other since childhood, Jameson, despite moments of confusion, had consistently chosen Marion. He was not the type to vacillate between choices. His feelings for Sally were nothing more than guilt. She could scold him and blame him, but how could she deny him the chance to explain? 1 

This unfamiliar side of Marion made him uneasy and held a fear that their relationship might truly be irreparable. 

Jameson remained silent, and Joe stared at the phone in his hand. Although worried about the phone getting damaged, he sensed that Jameson’s mood was off at the moment and dared not speak.

2/2 

After a few minutes, Jameson returned the phone to Joe. “What about the 640 I asked you to buy earlier?” 

Knowing Marion’s love for the sea, Jameson had set his eyes on a yacht before the wedding, intending to gift it to Marion on the day they received their marriage certificate. However, with no wedding and no marriage certificate for him, only the yacht remained.
