A Love Forgotten Novel by Webfic

My anger was ignited yet again.

I glowered at Jocelyn’s exquisitely painted lips.

“What did you say?” I said.

Jocelyn huffed. “You’re no longer the heiress of the York family. Five years ago, the York family stated in newspapers that they had severed ties with you.”

At that moment, something erupted in my brain, and my head felt like it was splitting from the pain.

I clutched my head while my breathing quickened.

Jocelyn didn’t notice my unusual state and continued her mockery, “You can no longer get anything from the York family. All you can rely on is what Elijah gave you. So, Ms. York, you don’t have to hold on

anymore.

“Elijah doesn’t love you. He won’t give you what you wish for either. He won’t give you money, much less

love.”

However, the pain in my head was excruciating, so I couldn’t even hear what Jocelyn was saying.

All that was on my mind was those words, “Five years ago, the York family stated in newspapers that they had severed ties with you.”

Was that true? Why didn’t Teri tell me? Why didn’t Logan tell me?NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

I raised my head, tears already staining my face.

Jocelyn froze.

Then, I pointed to the entrance in the distance. “Leave. I’m done with this conversation.”

Jocelyn refused to give up. “Ms. York, I know you love Elijah, but he doesn’t love you anymore. There’s no point in forcing this marriage to continue.”

As I endured my severe headache, I sneered. “Ms. Comell, you’re mistaken. I don’t love him either. And I will divorce Elijah. But I won’t leave empty–handed.”

I wiped my tears and looked at her. “In our marriage, he’s the one who made a mistake, not me. I was the one who invested 50 million dollars, not you. What gives you two the right to make me, who has done nothing wrong, pay for everything?”

My attitude angered Jocelyn. She scoffed and folded her arms. “Fine. You’re as tough as I expected. You’d oppose me until the very end.

“We’ll see how this goes then. I’ll make you leave the Linden family with nothing.”

With that, she turned to leave.

I taunted her coldly. “If you’re so capable, get Elijah to divorce me. You’ve only come to negotiate with me because you couldn’t convince him. Seems like Elijah doesn’t love you all that much either. Otherwise, why would he have kept you waiting for five years?”

Jocelyn’s back became stiff, and her walk became unsteady as well.

Then, I watched her as she left in a flurry. By then, the stuffiness in my chest had somewhat subsided too.

After she left, I clutched my head.

My heart was pounding.

It hurt. It hurt so much. It felt like a knife was being twisted around in my brain.

My dearest Mom and Dad. My brother who doted on me the most.

Why did they cut ties with me?

Tears rolled down my cheeks.

I realized I had been too naive.

I was no longer related to the York family. So, what now? What should I do?

Just then, Ruby walked over and snidely said, “Ariana, I’d advise you to be tactful and leave quickly.” She looked at me with disgust. “You’re crying. All you know how to do is act weak and pitiful. I’m warning you, don’t use the same tricks on Logan. He’s out of your league.”

But I had no desire to speak with her. I just wanted to leave.

My brain was in a jumble. I needed to calm down.

Ruby trailed me like a ghost. “Ariana, your reputation has long been ruined. Even if you divorce Elijah, you’ll only be a hand–me–down. Logan has such a high status and is so remarkable. He’d never be interested in you.”
