The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 1216:

Even in her anger, she looked radiant and captivating.

Waldo, staring at her, instinctively reached out to touch her chin, but before he could, she sharply slapped his hand away and snapped, “Don’t touch me!”

The words reminded Waldo of the time Jolene had gotten into another man’s car after an event. She had let him hold her without protest, looking strangely obedient.

Now, she wouldn’t let him touch her.

His anger, which he had been holding back, exploded. “I can’t touch you, but other men can? Jolene, don’t you have any self-respect? You’re with me, yet you act so unclear with other guys. How can you be so cheap?”

It was the first time Waldo had been overcome with jealousy and rage. As soon as he spoke, he realized how harsh his words were.

His voice, though calm, struck Jolene deeply, like a sharp knife cutting into her heart. Each breath she took felt like fire.

Her hands balled into fists at her sides as she stared at him without flinching.

When Waldo saw her look, he felt a sudden, painful jolt in his chest.

He opened his mouth, instinctively wanting to explain himself.

Suddenly, Jolene let out a quiet laugh, wiped her lips, and said slowly, “Yes, I’m that cheap. Too bad you’re just figuring it out now.”

With those words, she shoved Waldo aside, bent down to grab her bag, and walked out without a second glance.

Waldo watched her go and, without thinking, took a step to follow. But the image of her with another man stopped him in his tracks.

A woman shouldn’t be spoiled too much. Every time he gave in, she only took advantage. This time, she’d have to apologize first!

With that thought, Waldo snorted, pulled the office chair closer, and slumped into it.noveldrama

Outside, Corrine stood with her back to the door, staring out at the street through the window.

When she heard the door open behind her, she turned slowly, noticing Jolene’s swollen lips. She frowned slightly.

It seemed Waldo wasn’t being gentle with his girl.

“I’ve got things to do. I’m leaving,” Jolene said, then walked away without another word.

As Jolene left, Corrine glanced back at the office and spotted Waldo listening by the door. Her frown deepened. What was going on between them? Could Waldo be forcing her against her will?

Her expression turned serious as the thought crossed her mind. Taking a deep breath, Corrine walked into the office with a look of determination.

Inside, Corrine didn’t waste time. She asked, “Since when did the usually calm Waldo Ford become so rude and controlling?”
