My Mute Bride

Chapter 360 Best Friend Is a Derogatory Term

“You don’t have to deal with this matter any longer. I’ll take care of it.” Ryan threw a glance at Jolly before his gaze fell on Rachel. “Miss Hudson, Jolly is only being criticized by the public because of her endorsement deal with Hudson Pharmaceuticals. I hope you won’t begrudge her a few days of rest.”

Rachel agreed. “It’s not a problem. I plan on letting her go on a break for half a month while public interest dies down.” “Half a month is too short. Give her a month.”

Ryan demanded staunchly, which startled everyone else.

Jolly frowned and retorted, “Who are you to decide on my behalf? What could I possibly do with a month’s break?”

“Go on a holiday. You can follow me to Switzerland for a month.”

“No way!”

As soon as Ryan said that, Leroy, who had been quiet the entire time, immediately disagreed. He glared at Ryan as he firmly denounced the suggestion.

Rachel and Jolly were taken aback by his sudden interruption. But soon enough, Jolly remembered the feud between Leroy and Ryan. In the end, it was all because of a woman!

Ryan commented icily, “You have no say in what we do. Who do you think you are?”

Leroy snapped back. “Who do I think I am? Maybe I’m nothing to the great Mr. Sutton, but how can you treat Jolly this way? Is she just an object to you? Is she just a thing that you can bring around with you wherever you go?”

“She’s my fiancée!” Ryan’s answer echoed around them as he declared it resolutely.

Jolly would usually stir up a storm if she heard Ryan saying that, but this time, she shrunk behind Rachel as she muttered, “Oh no… Chris, the endorsement deal might go sour!”

When Jolly reached out to Leroy about the endorsement deal, she never even mentioned that she was acquainted with Ryan, let alone the fact that she used to be his fiancée. Leroy only agreed to the endorsement deal after Jolly had spent all her time and effort into developing a “friendship” with him.

At a time like this, how can you still be thinking about the endorsement deal with Leroy? Rachel was speechless.

Ryan was still talking. “Both of our families agreed to the marriage, and even the Carter Family elders also approved of the marriage. She, Jolly Carter, is my fiancée. Apart from her parents, there is no one else in this world who is more qualified to deal with this on her behalf than me.”

After an awkward silence, Leroy snorted.

Jolly anxiously murmured by Rachel’s ear. “What is he laughing about? Has he been driven mad by anger?”
