"What did you say?!" Juliet Jordan could hardly believe her ears as she grabbed his shoulders, on the verge of collapse, "Say that again."
Jacob Clark's arm hurt from being seized; the muscles in his cheek twitched non-stop, eyes turning a bloody red as he shook off Juliet Jordan's hand, enunciating each word, "I said I mortgaged the house, stocks, and car, all of it! Now with the stocks down, we're finished! Do you understand? We're finished!"
Juliet let out a sob and lunged at him, "I'll fight you for this!"
Jacob Clark, with fierce anger, grabbed her wrists and roared, "What's the use of making a scene now! What matters is solving the problem! The mortgage company's people are just downstairs, do you want them to see me like this?"
"You still care about how others see you, Jacob Clark; marrying you is the biggest regret of my life!" Juliet Jordan clenched her teeth in anger!
If only she hadn't chosen this man at the start, her life would never have turned out like this.
