章 7: Chapter 0006: Who is the Mistress

Deep into the night, Jaylene sat in front of the window, flipping through a thick photo album, which was filled with pictures she had taken with Alexander Preston over the years.

There were pictures of them laughing as they embraced, pictures of him spinning her round, pictures of the two of them poking their heads out from behind trees, pictures of them walking hand in hand on a suspension bridge, and pictures of them looking at their reflections in the water on the Nightingale Bridge.

So many photographs, so many memories. Every single picture carried a piece of their history and a story.

"Jaylene, you are the woman I love the most. I will cherish you in the palm of my hand throughout my life."

"Jaylene, holding your hand, we will grow old together. Today, I've held your hand, and I'm determined to walk by your side for the rest of my life."

"Jaylene, you are water, and I am a fish. Water is a fish's oxygen. Without you, I can't survive."

His once profound vows still echoed in her ears, but now, he had become someone else's groom, spending his life with another woman.

Indeed, vows are like farts. They seem earth-shattering at the moment, but pale into insignificance afterward!

What about the fish that can't live without water? After leaving her, he led an even more comfortable life, living in a mansion and driving luxury cars at such a young age.

And her? She's become a completely stagnant pond, devoid of fish..

..

It was Saturday, a day off. Jaylene intended to sleep till late, but was awakened by a call from Alisha at eight in the morning.

"Jaylene, the weather is great today, let's go to Sun City and distract ourselves," Alisha's exaggerated voice came through the phone.

"I don't need to buy anything," Jaylene replied honestly.

Not to mention that she didn't need to buy anything, even if she did, where would she find the mood to shop now?

"I want to go shopping even if you don't," Alisha shouted over the phone. "Jaylene Ziel, I've always accompanied you whenever you go shopping. Now, you must accompany me to buy my summer clothes."

".."Jaylene remained silent for a while, then, still yawning from being woken up, she asked, "Can I not go?"

"No!" Alisha answered decisively. "In the past, I risked my life to accompany you, now you must accompany me, Alisha!"

".."

..

Half an hour later, Jaylene arrived at Sun City as promised.

She thought she would reach later than Alisha, who was driving, as she took the subway. However, when she arrived and called Alisha, Alisha said she was stuck in traffic.

While Alisha was stuck in traffic and Jaylene was waiting for her at the entrance of Sun City, she hadn't stood there for more than five minutes when a car slowly pulled up. The car door was pushed open, and out came Alexander Preston and Raine Thompson.

Alexander was dressed in a well-tailored gray suit, which made his originally fair face even more stunningly handsome. Raine, clad in a light pink princess dress with delicate makeup, appeared as dazzling as a celebrity in a television show at first glance.

Though seeing Raine holding Alexander's hand was like a knife stabbing into her heart, causing her heart to bleed in pain, Jaylene had to admit, Alexander Preston and Raine Thompson did indeed make a beautiful couple.

She took a deep breath, made a 45° angle towards the sky, and let all the warm tears welling up in her eyes flow back.

She would not blame Alexander; this is what she told herself in her heart.

Raine Thompson is the only daughter of the Clayton CEO, and Clayton Construction is the leader in the construction industry in Bay City. With an estimated worth of tens of billions, how can she compete with such a person?

It's only natural that people strive for higher and water flows downward. What's wrong with Alexander Preston choosing Raine Thompson over her?

Watching the couple walking towards the gate, she instinctively turned to leave. No need for pleasantries now that they've become strangers, lest it would bother Alexander and Raine's peace.

However, no sooner had she stepped outside the door than she bumped into another woman head-on.

"Sorry," she apologized quickly, committing to the principle of apologizing when one bumps into another, even before she had a chance to look at the woman's face.

"You are..." The woman sized her up and asked with a furrowed brow, "Jaylene Ziel?"

Jaylene didn't expect to run into someone who recognized her here. She quickly lifted her head and found herself facing a woman.

The woman seemed to be in her early twenties with perky breasts, long and beautiful legs, a slender waist, and a tall and lithe body—the perfect figure of a mistress.

Unlike Raine's tough femininity, her beauty was coquettish and wild. The short black dress she wore accentuated her pretentious and arrogant demeanor.

Jaylene searched her memory, finally confirming she doesn't know the woman!

"Don't know who I am?"

The woman's tone was haughty and obviously contemptuous, "It doesn't matter. It's enough that I know who you are. I want to give you a warning: 'Don't aspire to possess what doesn't belong to you.' Because that's what you call over-reaching!"

Something tightened within Jaylene. What did the woman mean by 'what doesn't belong to her'?

"Heh, the words may be rough, but the meaning is true, and I assume you've heard it before?"

Seeing Jaylene fall silent, the woman smirked, seemingly more pleased. Lifting her eyebrows, she waved her hand in a dismissive manner and strutted past Jaylene, throwing disdainful words over her shoulder, "Miss Ziel, I would advise you to give up on your wishful thinking. Because the third wheel is as welcome in people's eyes as a street rat!"

What? Third wheel? Who's the third wheel?

Jaylene was so angry that she felt like a balloon about to burst. She called out coldly at the woman who had just strutted past her, "Stop right there!"

Phoebe Smith, who had just stepped onto the stairs, turned around with a disdainful look on her face, "Miss Ziel, are you calling me?"

"Yes, I am telling you to stop!" This woman looked at Jaylene smugly, "I am Raine Thompson's cousin, Phoebe Smith. You may call me Miss Smith."

Jaylene spoke up solemnly and stepped onto the stairs to face her, "I don't care if you're Miss Smith or Miss Wynn, I want to make one thing clear. Even though I'm just an ordinary girl and not some rich damsel, Alexander and I have known each other for ten years. He is an orphan sponsored by my father and even boarded at my home in middle school. We established our relationship three years ago!"

Jaylene's voice choked a bit due to the agitation. She paused for two seconds before continuing, "Though I don't know what transpired between Miss Thompson and Alexander, or how she gained his love, that doesn't matter anymore. They are married now. I admit, I lost. Since Alexander is another woman's husband, I will no longer hold onto him. My feelings for him are entirely gone! And I certainly won't stoop so low as to become his mistress!"

Phoebe Smith gave her a somewhat surprised look before sneering, "You're all talk but no action. If you are really over him, why were you staring at my cousin-in-law just now?"

Cousin-in-law?

It took Jaylene two seconds to realize that Phoebe's cousin-in-law was Alexander Preston. So, this woman was Raine Thompson's cousin.

".."

Jaylene was at a loss for words because she was indeed staring at Alexander just now.

She and Alexander had known each other for ten years and dated for three. Whenever he was around, she couldn't help but look at him. This had become a habit.


章 8: Chapter 0007: Too Silly and Innocent

"Look, you can't answer, can you?"

Phoebe Smith snorted coldly, her eyes narrowing slightly. "You're envious to death. Alexander Preston is now marrying my cousin Alisha Demontes and enjoying a glorious life. You can't help but feel jealous. Even if you can't marry him, you still naturally want to be his mistress!"

"Jaylene Ziel, don't say I didn't warn you. Don't even think about it. If you dare use any despicable means to seduce my cousin-in-law and destroy my cousin's marriage, neither Alisha nor I will let you off easily."

As Phoebe said this, a cold light gleamed in the depths of her eyes. Clearly, she already considered Jaylene as Alexander's potential mistress.

Jaylene looked at the self-righteous woman in front of her, Raine Thompson's cousin. Since Raine was a wealthy woman, Phoebe must also be rich and powerful like Raine, right?

In today's society, people with a bit of status tend to be arrogant. Phoebe was undoubtedly one of those people who looked down on others.

Jaylene listened to Phoebe's warning without anger, but laughed instead. "Miss Smith, are you coming to warn me so solemnly because you're worried that your cousin can't hold onto her husband with her charm? If you lose something you never had control over, who can you blame?"

"You? What did you say?"

Phoebe's eyes flashed dangerously and her eyebrows raised as she took a step toward Jaylene. "Jaylene Ziel, who do you think you are to talk back to me like that?"

Because of Phoebe's sudden approach, Jaylene instinctively felt the overpowering smell of Phoebe's perfume. Raising her hand to wave away the scent, she tried to avoid the pungent smell.

However, her actions clearly irritated Phoebe, who reached out to grab Jaylene, who in turn instinctively dodged Phoebe's hand.

However, her evasive action collided with Phoebe's hand, and Phoebe, wearing high heels, lost her balance and fell down the steps.

"Ah!" Phoebe screamed loudly, falling directly onto the last step.

Raine Thompson and Alexander Preston, who had already entered the doorway of Sun City, rushed over upon hearing the scream. Seeing Phoebe sitting on the ground, Raine ran over.

"Phoebe, are you alright?" Raine helped Phoebe up and checked her carefully. "Did you twist your ankle? Why weren't you more careful when walking?"

"It wasn't my fault," Phoebe rubbed her foot, which had twisted in her high heels, and looked at Jaylene standing there. "It was… it was her who pushed me deliberately."

Jaylene didn't expect Phoebe to make up such lies. She frowned, clenched her fists and grit her teeth, unable to tolerate Phoebe's twisted words.

Upon noticing Jaylene standing a meter away, Raine's face darkened. "Miss Ziel, I know you're Alexander's ex-girlfriend, and I know you're upset about our marriage, but if you have any grievances, could you just confront me? Phoebe is just my younger female cousin, and you had to go after her as well?"

Sun City was a well-known shopping park in Bay City, and today was Saturday. There were many people shopping there. The drama between this wife and mistress was highly attractive to the crowd, so many people gathered around.

"So, the ex-girlfriend is causing trouble? She even pushed someone?"

"Yeah, they don't want you anymore. What's the point of clinging and causing trouble?"

"The ex-girlfriend is already in the past. Since the others are already married, you shouldn't bother them anymore."

"Is she after money?"

...

The surrounding people who didn't know the whole story talked about the situation, but Jaylene didn't pay attention to their words. Instead, she only looked at Alexander, wanting to know how he felt about her.

She took the initiative to speak to Alexander: "Alexander, I didn't push her..."

"Jaylene, I love Raine. That's why I married her. From now on, she is the only woman I'll love in my heart. I hope you can understand, and I hope you don't do such foolish things again!"

As Alexander said that, he held Raine's hand tightly. The two stood side by side as if to show off their love and steadfastness in marriage.

Alexander's confession immediately moved Raine to tears. She nestled against him and said emotionally, "Alexander, you're the only one in my heart as well!"

The touching scene was met with warm applause from the bystanders. Jaylene was accused of trying to destroy someone else's marriage as a mistress.

Looking at the loving newlyweds in front of her, Jaylene suddenly felt that her three years of love had been a huge joke!

She had just thought Alexander would believe her. Although he might not stand up for her, he would at least speak up for her.

It turned out she was too naïve and had overestimated Alexander's kindness. Reality was so cruel!

Ignoring the people's accusations, Jaylene raised her head to hold back the tears in her eyes, turned around and walked to the crowded street. She quickly vanished in the crowd.

...

"What? That bastard Alexander Preston actually protected Raine Thompson and let you get bullied in public?"

Alisha stared at Jaylene wide-eyed and slapped the dining table. "I'll go straight to his office tomorrow and settle this."

"Forget it," Jaylene hurriedly held onto Alisha's hand and whispered, "Watch your image, people are looking over here."

"Let them look, what's the big deal?" Alisha didn't care, took a gulp of her milk tea and asked, "So, what are you going to do now?"

"What am I going to do? He has his marriage, and I have my work. From now on, Alexander and I will go our separate ways. He will walk his sunny path, and I will cross my single-log bridge."

"As long as you have a clear mind, that's what matters."

Alisha patted Jaylene on the shoulder and comforted her. "Jaylene, as the saying goes, there are plenty of fish in the sea. We're young. We'll find a man better than Alexander Preston, right?"

Jaylene nodded and smiled weakly. "Yeah!"

Seeing her lack of confidence, Alisha slapped the dining table again and said, "Don't worry. When Oliver Johnson comes back, I'll have him introduce a rich, powerful, handsome man to you right away!"
