Chapter 1287
Jessica made a long face.
A while later, she turned on her heel and walked out.
“Mrs. Brown.”
With Serenity calling after Jessica, Jessica turned around and looked at her, waiting to get an answer about Liberty’s whereabouts.
Serenity played nice and reminded her, “The bruises on your face are obvious. You might want to get something to cle them away. I heard that your wedding with Mr. Brown is coming up. The black and blue would not go well with the theme of your wedding.”
Jessica’s wrinkles deepened with a grimace.
Without a word, she cocked her head back and strutted out of the shop with her chest out.
It was as if by doing so, she could prove her life could not be any better.
A delivery person arrived.
Jasmine ordered milkshakes to the shop.
She took the milkshakes and gave a cup to her best friend. Jasmine gloated, “The Browns must have abused her. I thought she was all that, and her mother–in–law and sister–in–law had nothing on her.”
Sipping on the milkshake, Serenity replied, “She got a whole family up against her. That’s hard to beat.”
“Either domestic violence happens, or it does not. Now that she lost her first physical fight with the Browns, things will only get worse for her unless she and Hank divorce.”
Serenity had no sympathy for Jessica.
She wished Jessica the worst luck in the world.
Jessica was abused before the wedding even happened.
Meanwhile, Callum put his weight on his hands against the cash register at Spring Blossoms and stared into Camryn’s eyes. He asked, “How was it? The business opportunity must have brought. you a lot of profit.”
Taking the Marshall family’s instructions, the Wiltspoon Hotel ordered a lot of flowers from Spring Blossoms to set up the venue.
Instead of talking about the profit, Camryn said, “I’ll buy you dinner tonight.
“But not at Wiltspoon Hotel. It’s expensive there.”
The last time she treated him to dinner, it cost several hundred dollars. For a small–time business. owner, several hundred dollars on a dinner was a lot.
The money could have covered her employees‘ and her expenses for three days.
Callum did not order anything fancy in consideration that she did not carry much cash with her back then. Hence, the bill only came up to a few hundred dollars.
Camryn would be spending more if he ordered the more expensive dishes.
