My Mute Bride

Chapter 361 You Are My Fiancée

Jolly did not hold back at all. Ryan’s face had a trail of blood dripping down, as Jolly’s nails had cut into his face as she slapped him. Flabbergasted, Rachel stood up.

Everyone in the office had a stunned expression. Only Ryan remained calm in this situation, as if he knew that this would happen. He raised his hand to wipe his cheek that was smarting with pain, and he saw the streaks of blood on his fingers.

Ryan stared at Jolly, who was still in front of him, and said evenly, “Do you feel less angry now?”

“You don’t need to speak to me in that tone and act as if you’re such a magnanimous person. What I despise the most about you is this indifference of yours. Do you really think that everything and everyone will always be under your control? I don’t know about other people, but Ryan Sutton…” Jolly stared straight into Ryan’s eyes and said with conviction, “I am the exception.”

Her words were a little heartless, but also straight to the point.

“Jolly!”

Ryan still attempted to grab her, but Leroy stopped him.

“Jolly already said that she’s the exception. Mr. Sutton, please leave now.”

“Get away from me. This has nothing to do with you. Jolly, you need to rein in your temper. Your parents are still back home worrying about you. Do you think you can resolve this matter properly by yourself?”

“Isn’t it just Estelle’s doing?” Jolly’s expression did not change. “Please give her a message for me. If she wants to play this game, then I’ll play it with her till the end.”

Rachel knew that Jolly was a headstrong person who would not back down on her own words.

But it seemed like Ryan was also someone who was used to getting his way.

Therefore, Rachel could not refrain from speaking up. “Since we’re clear about what’s happened now, then no matter what, there’s bound to be a way to resolve it. Mr. Sutton, I think it’s best if you leave first. After all, this matter involves your ex-wife, so it is better that we handle it by ourselves.”

Ryan wanted to say something, but Justin interrupted him before he could speak. “I’ll see you out.”

Ryan furrowed his brows, but he regained his cool and exited the office.

As Justin escorted Ryan to the elevator, he did not say anything.

On the other hand, it was Ryan who spoke up angrily. “Justin, I don’t recall having any beef with you. Why must you come and mess things up for me at a time like this?”

Justin replied, “You think that I’m messing things up?”

“Are you not? Do you think that doing this will help Jolly, and Rachel would feel grateful toward you?”
