Chapter 55: A Call From George

"But after I married Gerard, Clay didn't keep his promise.I don't know why, but by hearing you mention
Sherry just now, I think she might have something to do with him going back on his word."

"Oh, you silly girl!"

As women, Angie and Claire could understand why Michelle would go to such lengths to fulfill her
mother's wish.

The two sighed, feeling pity for her innocence.

"Chelle, that old fox tricked you!" Moore shook his head disapprovingly.

Michelle didn't mind his words.

Everyone was entitled to their own beliefs, and she believed in persistence.

Therefore, she would do anything in her power to bury her mother beside her father so that Belinda
could rest in peace.

David and Elliot, who had been silent this whole time, exchanged glances and fell into deep thought.

The other few people at the table didn't notice the somber expression on the men's faces.

After dinner, Moore insisted on dragging Michelle to his room to chat.

Unable to resist him, she gave in.

"Michelle, Jared came back, right?" he asked unexpectedly.

"Yes," she replied softly but would never forget his indifference and disregard for her that day in the
Greenwood's house.



At the same time, Jared's affection for Lynn was vividly visible, leaving a deep scar in her heart.

"And what about Lynn?"

At the thought of Jared, it was inevitable not to think of Lynn.

Back when they were studying abroad, they kept in touch, but in reality, Moore couldn't stand Lynn's
pretense and hated to look at Jared's face.

He was more or less aware of how things ended between Michelle and him, knowing that the latter had
abandoned her to leave the country with the other woman.

Taking a pillow, Michelle lay on the bed.

She wanted to scream as she thought, 'Who can save me from having this conversation now? In
contrast to what he looks like, Moore is a real gossip! "She came back with him," she replied.

"Did they get married?"

Michelle sat up in bed and shook her head.

"No, they got engaged a few years ago and returned to hold a wedding ceremony now."

"Chelle, how about I send you on a trip abroad to relax a little? Tell me, where would you like to go?
What do you think of France? It's such a romantic country.My little brother loves it.Otherwise, why
would he be so reluctant to come back, right? I'm certain that you'll meet your Mr.Right in France!"

Although he acted like a gossipy woman, he still cared about his dear cousin.He loved her since she
was a child.

Now that she had been wronged, he had to do something to comfort her.



"I don't want to go!" Michelle pouted.

Noticing that the phone on the bedside table kept flickering, she glanced at the caller ID and saw
George's name on it.She had no idea why he would call her so late.

At first, she wondered if it could be an emergency, but on second thought, she realized her job wasn't
required in the emergency room.

After considering it for a while, she decided to pick it up anyway.

"Hello? What's wrong?"

Michelle glanced at her cousin, who was looking back at her ambiguously.

"Hey, Michelle! I just wanted to remind you about the Roberts Enterprise's dance party tomorrow night."

Although this was just an excuse, George made it sound casual.

God knew how much he missed this girl.

All he wanted at that moment was to hear her voice and see her face.

"Actually, I'm not going."

Despite George's kind reminder, Michelle refused him without hesitation.

Her plans for tomorrow night included going to bed early and not attending a party held by Gerard.

Besides, Paula and Jolie would also be there, and seeing those two would only make her sick.
