Chapter 1202
The next evening, the weing party at Splendor Hotel, owned by the Hamerton Group, began on
time. The midsummer night party’s unique design incorporated indoor and outdoor venues. The entire
hotel shimmered with brilliant lights, resembling a grand pearl in the night.
The guests in attendance were prominent figures from various fields, known for their wealth or
influence. Among them, Abigail stood out as the Thompson Group had shown the significance they
ced on her.
Lina, dressed in a pale pink haute couture dress with a pearl ne around her neck, exuded
elegance as she effortlessly mingled with the crowd, showing no signs of unease. The guests
whispered among themselves, praising how she embodied the best qualities of both Nichs and
Linda.
Abigail stayed by Lina’s side, concerned that she might drink too much, and redirected any toasts
proposed to her.
“Hey, this party is for you!” Lina whispered to her. “Why are you wearing a gray dress? It doesn’t make
you stand out at all!”
Abigail smiled. “The cool tone matches my personality! Besides, it’s your special day. How could I steal
the limelight?”
Linaughed. Abigail was usually a red carpet femme fatale, stealing the limelight on previous
asions!

But in front of her best friend today, she let her guard down, putting away all defenses, and obediently
followed behind Lina like a docile littlemb.
Lina held Abigail’s hand and ced it on the crook of her arm.
As the two girls exchanged smiles, the world seemed kinder at that moment.
Not far away, Jacob turned around and froze.
“What’s wrong?” Gia handed him a ss of wine. “Did you see someone?”
Jacob didn’t even hear what she said. His ears buzzed, his mind went nk, and he pushed her away.
“Ah!” Gia stumbled back from the force, almost knocking over a long table.
“Jacob, what are you doing?”
Jacob took several deep breaths as he turned around and fixed his hair and tie in front of the reflective
marble wall.
Gia widened her eyes. “What has gotten into you?”
Jacob still didn’t pay her any attention, his gaze fixed on a certain spot with genuine joy in his eyes.
Curious, Gia followed his gaze and saw Lina and Abigail nearby. The two of them resembled sisters,
wless in every aspect.
She bit her lip. Jacob couldn’t possibly be interested in Lina, so the person he was looking at… must be
Abigail!
“Daring!” Gia sidled up to him and forcefully linked her arm with his. “Do you know that you hurt me just
now?”
Jacob snapped back to reality, but it was toote.
Gia’s hand slid into the crook of his arm, and her shrill voice attracted a lot of attention. What was
worse, Abigail heard it too…
He stood frozen, meeting Abigail’s gaze. Her clear eyes were filled with shock and disappointment.
Abigail approached. “Mr. Welsh, it’s been a while.”
Jacob awkwardly smiled, about to say something, but Abigail spoke first. “Aren’t you going to introduce
us?”
“Well…”
“Gia Chapman,” Gia introduced herself, raising her eyebrows and deliberately drawing out her words.
“I’m Jacob’s girlfriend!”
“What?” Abigail looked at Jacob in disbelief.
Gia continued to push her head toward Jacob’s shoulder, looking at Abigail provocatively.
Abigail felt like there was a balloon in her chest about to burst. Had this man gone crazy? How dare he
openly bring such a shameless mistress to his girlfriend’s event!?
Abigail suppressed the urge to p Gia and struggled to say, “Jacob, what does this mean?”
Jacob’s throat tightened. He was already nervous, and his tongue became even more tangled under
her gaze, unable to utter a word.
“Jacob, how could you do this?!” Abigail gritted her teeth. “How could your girlfriend be her? It’s clearly
—”
At that moment, apuse came from the other side. The two Hamerton heirs had arrived.
Abigail turned around and saw a scene that made her question her reality.
Lina and Zuko walked in together, holding hands intimately, their eyes filled with love for each other.
Someone proposed a toast, and Zuko smoothly epted both sses.
Abigail was dumbfounded.
“What’s happening?” she muttered to herself, forgetting about Jacob and quickly running over to Lina.
Lina was startled by Abigail’s panicked look.
“Abigail, you…”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…
“You first tell me what’s going on with him!” Abigail pointed at Zuko.
Zuko furrowed his brows and pulled Lina into his arms immediately.
“Don’t touch her!” Abigail forcefully separated them and protected Lina behind her. “Mr. Hamerton, it’s
not right to take away someone else’s love!”
Zuko’s brows furrowed deeper. “Don’t tell me I’ve taken away your love?”
“Lina has a boyfriend!”
“No, she doesn’t,” Zuko said in a deep voice. “She only has a fiance, and that’s me!”
Abigail felt like she had been struck by lightning. She was utterly bewildered.
She looked at Lina, then at Zuko, and turned to look at Jacob and that annoying Gia… suddenly
understanding something in that instant.
Lina held Abigail’s hand with a soft smile. “Abigail, did you misunderstand something? My fiancé is
really Zuko. We’ve been engaged since childhood.”
“But…” Abigail murmured, “Jacob…”
“Jacob, Mr. Welsh?” Lina paused. “Do you care a lot about him?”
Abigail stood there with her mouth open, unable to articte her current feelings.
Firstly, she was certain that her assistant had made a mistake, which led to her misunderstanding and
liking the same person as her crush!
Secondly, she was relieved. It turned out that Jacob had nothing to do with Lina, and she could still
continue to like him!
Lastly, a dark cloud hung over her again… There was this woman next to Jacob who dared to show off
in front of her just now! She would make her regret it!
“Abigail?” Lina looked at the rapidly changing expressions on Abigail’s face, feeling a bit worried.
“What’s wrong, Abigail?”
“Oh… nothing!” Abigail quickly adjusted to a somewhat normal smile. “I just had a chat with Mr. Welsh
and found out that the woman by his side is really not good!
“Hey, Lina, who is she? Do you have any detailed information I can see?”
