Chapter 274
Jonathan’s POV
Harmon Mansion
I took leave from work and headed back to Harmon Mansion.
As I entered, I could hear Imelda yelling, “Serve! This is what you’re born for p>
” Did she invite someone over? And who’s she yelling at?” I asked in my mind as I didn’t recall Imelda telling me anything.
As I walked inside of the hall, I saw Imelda was standing shoving a bottle of wine in Veronica’s face as her guests were frozen p>
Probably confused as to how to react.
“Ah, Imelda? She’s Veronica Rollings, Jonathan’s wife and president of Harmon Designs p>
“How can you make her p>
“Forgot the parties you used to attend where she used to serve us?” Imelda retorted as she cut her words.
“I’m only showing her who she is p>
“Just because her mother is a Harmon, she’s trampling all over me p>
“Imelda, the only reason I’m bearing you is, Jonathan only remembers you, or else p>
“Or else?” Imelda cut her words. “Now he won’t remember you…ever again p>
“So do what you’re good at, and I can consider allowing you to be his caretaker, or else p>
“I’ll make you beg to even see him, let alone touch him p>
My blood was boiling as I saw all this.
“Imelda!” I yelled out as I entered the room.
The wine bottle crashed on the floor as she lost her grip on hearing my voice.
“Do you need anyone to remind you who she is p>
“Just because her mother is a Harmon p>
“You used her surname, and lived off her wealth all your life p>
“And you’re calling Jane just a woman with the surname p>
“Now also,” I said, gesturing to the mansion.
“You are living in this woman’s maternal home,” I said pointing towards Veronica.
“She’s allowing you to live here cause of me p>
“And didn’t you say I didn’t have any connection with her p>
“Now what’s going on p>
“Not have a connection with her?” one of the guests said.
“Mr Rollings? How can you say that p>
“Hey,” the other one tugged on her arm.
“Mr Rollings has forgotten p>
“You seem to know who Veronica is to me, care to shed some light on our relationship p>
“And you,” I said looking towards Veronica.
“Why am I so important to you, that you as the president of Harmon Designs is willing to be her server just to be around me p>
“It doesn’t matter, and I’ve endured far worse than this p>
I felt disturbed on seeing her accepting her outcome.
“You’re also accepting all of this just like my wife Veronica did nineteen years back p>
“Jonathan, why are you meddling in women’s business p>
“I didn’t mean by knowing your place as in looking down on her p>
“Of course I know she’s the president of Harmon Designs p>
“As for why she’s willing to do for you p>
“I just said, you don’t have to meddle in us women’s business p>
I stood still for a minute without reacting.
“I called her for a business matter, so what if I told her to serve wine to us p>
“You just said right now, this is her home, as the host p>
“She isn’t the host is she?” I asked Imelda back.
My suspicion towards Imelda was growing and I wanted to see how long she will continue.
Just then the doorbell rang.
I went over to see.
A courier boy handed me an envelope.
On opening it I found out it was a business anniversary invitation.
“Oh, we also got that p>
“We should leave so we can get ready for it p>
“Basically, the invitation is for Ms Harmon,” I said, handing the invitation over to Veronica.
“I’ve already received mine at Rollings House p>
“They must be knowing she’s here,” Veronica said.
“So, this is for her p>
“But I will make sure no one ever sends under Harmon surname here again p>
With that Veronica left without looking back.
Grand Del Hotel – Hall
As I entered the hall, I could hear laughter and conversations all around me.
Imelda tried to grab my arm, but I just walked forward.
I noticed Veronica was speaking to some jewelry house representatives.
She looked like an angel in her white brocade gown.
I smiled as I saw her talking with comfort and confidence.
I also felt proud to see how she was handling the conversation.
Suddenly Imelda tugged at my arm, making me look at her.
“What’s the matter p>
“I’m your fiancée, and you’re glaring at another woman p>
“Are you p>
Her expression changed as if I caught her guilt.
She left my side instead of answering.
The next hour went in talking with other guests.
I totally forgot about Imelda, until I heard screams and wine glasses crashing behind me.
I turned around and saw a stash of wine glasses were scattered all across the floor and both Veronica and Imelda had fallen.
I quickly ran over and immediately took hold of Veronica in my arms.
“CALL THE DOCTOR!” I called out frantically as I could see blood flowing through the cuts on her arms.
“I’m a doctor,” a guest said as he came over.
“The cuts are deep, we need to take her to the hospital p>
I lifted her in my arms, just in time as the stretcher arrived.
As I laid her on the stretcher, Imelda pulled my arm, making me stumble a few steps.
“Take her to the hospital, call Vance and John,” I told the medic.
“Their numbers are in her contact list p>
“I’ll come over as soon as I’m free from here p>
As the medic team left, I pulled my arm out of her hand and glared at her.
“What the hell are you doing p>
“What the hell am I doing?” Imelda questioned me as everyone was staring and whispering.
“What the hell are you doing? Do you even see what you’re doing to whom and with whom p>
“I’m your fiancée, she’s the other woman p>
“You saved her and didn’t even ask how I was, not even once p>
“Why did you save her first and not me?” Imelda demanded.
“I was on the floor at the same time, didn’t you see me?
“I told you last time at the elevator, and I’m telling you now p>
“I don’t know why, but my natural instinct tells me to save her p>
“Seeing her injured…I feel like I’m injured p>
“Now tell me what am I supposed to do p>
“You say I have no connection to her p>
“Yet I feel so personal about her p>
Just then a guest stepped up.
Probably seeing me scolding her so she got the strength to speak.
“Mr Rollings, I saw it all,” she said in a little hesitant voice.
“Ms Imelda purposely walked over to Mrs Rollings and deliberately pulled her into he wine glasses pyramid p>
“Then they both crashed into the wine pyramid p>
“I’m going over to the hospital to check on Veronica p>
“I hope this is the last time you target her p>
“If you do, I won’t spare you p>
“What about me?” she called out as I turned around to walk out.
“I’m also hurt p>
“You fell on your own, deal with it on your own p>
With that I took my leave and went over to the hospital.
A few days later a major jewelry house couple were celebrating their anniversary.
I received an invitation as the Rollings Representative, and was told to bring my wife Veronica with me.
While Jane received the Harmon Designs invitation.
But Imelda was forced to come with me and made Veronica attend alone.
The moment I entered with Imelda beside me,
The room went silent as I knew everyone expected me to walk in with Veronica beside me.
I noticed everyone greeted Imelda as Ms Imelda and Veronica as Mrs Rollings.
No one ever by mistake called her Ms Harmon.
Instead it was Jane, Veronica’s mother whom everyone was greeting as Ms Harmon.
Now I was certain Imelda is taking advantage of my memory loss.
The wedding was days away.
I took my phone out and made a call.
“I need to meet you..tonight p>
