Reckless Marriage Unyielding Love

Chapter 111

Mikayla browsed through the headlines, all filled with almost identical messages. It clearly said that Jaxon bid on Frederic's necklace, but for some unknown reason, Carlos finally got it. Some said that Jaxon didn't have much money, so the auction sold the necklace to Carlos, some said that Jaxon knew that Carlos bought it to marry Mikayla, so he forgone it; and others said that Carlos snatched it from him. Anyway, there were all kind of versions.

There was also a photo of them holding hands at the auction, with another photo in the lower right corner showing Jaxon and Mikayla leaving one after another, which looked embarrassing. The two photos formed a stark contrast.

There were a lot of comments below. Aizen: [Wow... Carlos and Mikayla are a perfect match!] Anotherizen: [Looking forward to their wedding! I wonder what it will be like.] Anotherizen: [Mikayla left Jaxon and met her true love! She's being overly spoiled...] Anotherizen: [I saw them behaving affectionately, and I went home silently to punish my boyfriend who never held my hand by asking him to make amends for his action...]

Anotherizen: [My dad went to the auction and sat beside them! They held hands throughout the auction, and he even heard Carlos say to Mikayla that something she likes is priceless. After my dad came back, he was very kind to my mother...]

Before Mikayla finished, her phone rang again. It was a few messages from Juliet: [Can't you keep a low profile? Ever since you have been with Carlos, is it interesting to be on the headlines every day? I don't know if I can make the headlines when I get married.] Mikayla just smiled, put the phone aside, and didn't reply.

When she was about to work, her phone rang again. Mikayla saw a string of strange numbers. She thought, 'Could it be the person who Carlos said would send the necklace from yesterday's auction?' But before she left, she purposely greeted Sylvia.

After thinking for a while, Mikayla answered the phone. "Hello," she said politely.

"Mikayla..." Deidre said.

Just a word, and Mikayla knew who it was. After a while, her tone sounded aloof. "What's the matter?" she asked.

"I want to meet you," Deidre responded.

"No." Then, Mikayla hung up the phone. She thought, 'I heard from Carlos that Deidre was sent back to Druobridge by Kashton. Did she come to Xosa on purpose and ask to meet me?' She didn't want to see her again. Deidre hurt her and even asked her out as if nothing had happened.

As soon as she hung up, the phone rang again. Staring at the constantly blinking phone screen and the non-stop ringtone, Mikayla hung up decisively and blocked it. She didn't want to see Deidre, and there was no need to spend time with her. The phone stopped ringing.

Mikayla started to work. At noon, Carlos came to deliver the food. She didn't tell him Deidre had called or even asked to meet her. After all, Carlos picked her up when she was on and off duty now, so she didn't have to worry about it. She believed Deidre wouldn't do anything out of line to her after what happened last time, but she didn't want to see her either.

Mikayla started work in the afternoon, and when she thought that morning phone call was an illusion, Quinnlyn knocked on her office door. "Ms. Salvatore, the receptionist downstairs says a ma'am named Deidre wants to see you. She said she wouldn't leave if you didn't meet her."

Mikayla looked down and thought

for a while. Then she made a mark on the document and told Quinnlyn, "Tell her to wait in the reception area." She thought, 'It seems that Deidre is determined to meet me. That sounds about right. Cartos has no feelings for Deidre, but she could wait by his side for seven years, and that shows her persistence in something.'

It was half an hour later when

Mikayla arrived at the reception area after finishing her work. The company had set up a special reception area for customers, with floor-to-ceiling windows. One could have a good view of the working environment on this floor and also see the outside of Xosa. Deidre was dressed in black and white casual clothes, sitting quietly in front of the glass window. She looked like she had aged. Mikayla thought, 'Maybe if it was me who went through those things that night, perhaps I would...'

Mikayla walked toward Deidre and sat opposite her. Mikayla cut to the chase. "What do you want from me?" She had no time to chat with Deidre. Deidre held a coffee cup in her hands and drank the coffee. She didn't look good as she smiled bitterly. "Mikayla, don't think you have beaten me! We are all the same in Carlos' eyes. Your outcome will not be much better."

Mikayla smiled half-heartedly. "Ms. Taillon, I don't know what you are thinking, and I don't want to know. Since you know what kind of person Carlos is, why did you stay with him for seven years?" Before Deidre answered, she continued, "If you are here to persuade me today, please take these words back."

"Mikayla, don't you want to know what happened to those men who almost bullied you?" Deidre asked.

Deidre's words made Mikayla stop her next move, but it was only for a second. The next moment, Mikayla said coldly, "I don't want to know."

"Do you not want to know or are you

afraid?" Deidre got up and walked to Mikayla. "You read the newspaper two days later, right? Carlos was bloody. He tied all those people to the back of the yacht and let the shark bite them bit by bit. I don't know whether they were scared to death, bitten to death, or bfed to death... At that moment, those people begged Carlos to let them die

right away, but he didn't let it go."

Hearing Deidre's words, Mikayla's calm expression changed slightly and she was stunned. 'It is really him!' she exclaimed inwardly.

"Are you scared, too?" Deidre looked at Mikayla and asked.

She looked into Deidre's eyes and said, "Are you telling me all this to make me leave Carlos?"

Deidre didn't say anything, which meant she admitted it.

"Sorry. That's impossible." Mikayla's eyes glinted with extraordinary determination and looked so resilient.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Deidre didn't expect Mikayla, who looked weak, to say such a thing after hearing her words. It seemed that she underestimated Mikayla. Deidre didn't want to find out whether Mikayla's words were true or not. "You'll know how horrible Carlos is in the future. You and I don't really know him. I advise you to stay away from him!"

In fact, Mikayla didn't understand why Deidre kept repeating these words. As Deidre said, if she thought Carlos was horrible, she had no reason to stay by his side for seven years, too.
