Chapter 185: John’s Secret
Emily had always been an arrogant woman—at least in the State of New York. No young man had ever won her heart.
But everything changed after she met John.
No matter how proud a person was, in front of someone they liked, they would inevitably become careful—even humble.
Emily was no exception.
So when she saw a "secret mistress" in John's room, her first reaction wasn't anger or jealousy.
It was bitterness.
And disappointment.
No wonder, despite her taking the initiative and offering herself to him, John had remained indifferent. It wasn't because he was shy—it was because she simply wasn't good enough.
There were too many beautiful women around him.
She couldn't find any trait in herself that stood out.
Seeing the disappointment in Emily's expression, the hostility in Alice's heart vanished instantly. She even recalled the times she had flirted with John. Despite so many clear opportunities, he remained a block of wood.
