Called Off the Wedding, Left Him Bankrupt novel Chapter 304

Garry Fairchild and Dominic were among the very few who knew about Seymour and Juliet’s past relationship.

Given how much Garry doted on his sister, there was no telling what he might have said to Jocelyn. Just now, Jocelyn had probably been sharing stories about Seymour and Juliet’s history with Cynthia.

The thought left Vicky feeling unsettled.

It didn’t help that Seymour kept glancing over at Juliet, making Vicky’s mood sink even further.

After everyone took their seats, someone suggested they play a game.

Vicky kept her pleasant smile fixed in place and nodded in agreement.

But Seymour spoke up, his tone cool and steady.

“If we’re playing, then everyone should join in. That’s how you make it fun.”

Vicky’s hand tightened on the hem of her dress beneath the table. “Sey’s right,” she said, lifting her gaze toward Juliet and Julius.

Everyone else followed her eyes.

Juliet was radiant, her smile genuine, her eyes sparkling in a way that made her look like a completely different person. She’d always been beautiful, but over the years she’d taken on the persona of an ice queen—sharp, unapproachable, and distant enough to keep most people at arm’s length.

Julius, too, was undeniably handsome.

The two of them sitting together looked almost too perfectly matched.

What really caught everyone’s attention, though, was that no one else had ever managed to make Juliet laugh like that.

For a moment, the room fell silent, the usual chatter fading into an almost reverent hush as everyone stared.

A sharp clink suddenly snapped everyone back to reality.

Seymour’s glass had somehow fallen and shattered on the floor in front of him.
