When Love Breaks (Josephine)

Chapter

"Let's go, Josephine. It's quite stuffy here. Let's talk in the house"

Winnie then turned to her butler and instructed, "Please verify the guest list for my birthday party again with diligence. For those who aren't on the list, please escort them out. My birthday party is not an event any Tom, Dick, and Harry can attend." Winnie took Josephine's hand and left after she gave that order.

The crowd immediately understood what she meant and all of them gave Nadine a spiteful glance before leaving together with Winnie.

The lively atmosphere became quiet instantly, with only Zayn and Nadine remaining in the same place.

Once everyone had left, Zayn's Lace suddenly darkened. He lowered his gaze to look at the shoes Nadine had on. He turned to look at her with an intense gaze and asked, "What is happening?

Nadine looked up with teary eyes and replied, "What do you mean what is happening?

Your shoes, how could it be identical to the pair that Josephine got for Mrs. Shaw?"

"How would I know? I bought this pair of shoes myself. Nadine's nose twitched and tears started welling up in her eyes. "Zayn, don't you believe me?"

Zayn appeared a little frustrated when he noticed that even Nadine was trying to cheat him

"Nadine, if Mrs. Shaw finds out more about this, do you know what she will do to you? If she wants to boycott you, there's nothing I could do to save you."

Not to mention the tactics employed by the Shaw family, the Forbes family could never compete with the power and influence of Winnie's birth family, the Yules.

Nadine's face ashened and her tears started colling down as she wailed. "What do you mean? Do you also think that it's my fault that Josephine Dunn gifted Mrs. Shaw take shoes? Fine, I get it, 1 should have come bare feet. I don't deserve to wear shoes, I don't deserve to be here!"

She lowered her head in defeat and her delicate shoulders started trembling gently.

"Zayn, I told you a long time ago, we are from very different families. We'll never be happy together. You lept reassuring me that things would be alright. You said you loved me as a person. I trusted you. Look at what's happening now. Even you are blaming me." Zayn inhaled softly and before he could say anything, he saw Nadine blinking her eyes. Then, she fumbled and looked like she was about to fall. He could feel his heart skip a beat. He couldn't care less about anything else as he pulled Nadine into his amns. "What happened? Are you not feeling well?

"I'm fine, I am just a little tired. You can leave me alone, and go spend time with your wife. Mrs. Shaw already said I wasn't welcome here, I have no reason to stay- Let the go."

She pushed Zayn's arms away gently and she held her temples as she wobbled to the door. She appeared very delicate as the pale and silvery moonlight shone on her dainty silhouette.

Zayn's eyebrows furrowed as he turned around and looked into the direction of the living room. After that, he quickly followed behind Nadine

"Let me send you home first."

In the living room, as soon as Josephine greeted Ronin, she saw Ethan standing in a comer admiring a painting on the wall.

Josephine was stunned as she went to Winnie and asked, "Winnie, do you know him?"

Winnie glanced at Ethan and said with a smile, "He's Ronin's friend. I heard he's a nouveau riche. What do you think? Isn't he jaw-droppingly handsome? Let me tell you, when I first saw him, Istared at him for two full minutes." She continued with a sheepish laugh, "nonin wasn't jealous at all. He said he was staring at him for as long as I was."

Josephine burst our aughing. Given their obsession with good looks, she was amused to find out that Ethan could have the Shaws under his spell.

But, she was amazed as well when she first saw him. He was indeed very good-looking.

"Winnie, I am going to call Thompson to ask about the shoes."

She took out her phone and was about to call Thompson when a woman approached her in a hurry.

"Mrs. Forbes, I saw Mr. Forbes leaving with that wornan!"
