Threatened.

CHAPTER 67

"Language, young lady."

"That is all you care about, mother." 

With that, she let the tears drop and turned around swift, as she made her way towards the exit.

Sadly, before her fingers could latch on the doorknob, she felt slim hands circle around her arm and pulled her back.

She paused, waiting for her mother to speak so she would leave.

"You better behave well and not do anything stupid, Jade. If I find out you want to ruin your wedding or won't attend that I cannot assure you his life would be good," Mira threatened.

"What?"

"Yes. If you do not want to be the ruin to his bright life, stop seeing him. Forget about him and move for Jake. He has a promising future. Do not blame me for being ruthless."

"You are threatening me?"

"Yes. Anything to ensure you do not ruin your life."
