Chapter 767 Do You Still Plan on Marrying Me?
Although Jolene was deep in despair, she hid her troubles from Rowena, knowing that
she'd only make her mom more upset on top of the divorce row.
After she comforted Rowena and coaxed her into sleep, she finally left the hotel and
rushed back to James' villa. She had wanted to spend time with Rowena at the hotel, but
James set up ground rules for her, and one of them was a ban on spending the night out.
She dared not go against the rules and rushed home as fast as she could, even when the
clock had struck midnight.
After arriving at the villa, she cautiously opened the door, thinking that James must have
gone to bed at this time. She planned to tiptoe back to her room to hide the fact that

To her dismay, the lights flickered on once she reached the living room. James sat on the
couch and shot her an icy glare that sent shivers down her spine. "Where did you go?’
"What's the matter? Why would he be sitting in the living room at this hour? Could he
be...waiting for me on purpose?" Those thoughts plagued Jolene's mind. Instead of feeling
happy, she was gripped by fear. She was scared he'd go physical on her, even though he
never laid a finger on her.
She tried her best to remain composed and went up to him, explaining calmly. "I went to
see my mom."
"Rowena Glass?” He raised an eyebrow, showing no respect for her mother at all. He had
heard about the incident involving Jenny and Rowena's role in it. Rowena had to thank her
lucky stars that he had not taken action against her. In fact, James had wanted to avenge
Jenny, but he had to sit out because Graham wanted to resolve the matter by himself.
Jolene nodded and walked up to him. "My dad wants a divorce. She's in a bad mood.’
"Hah," he snickered. 'Your dad is cursed for marrying a woman like her."
She pursed her lips and fell silent. Although she disagreed with how James addressed
Rowena, she didn't have the guts to talk back to him and merely protested in silence.
He appeared to have read her mind and warned her, "We're not married yet, but you are
now my fiancee. I'm warning you not to help her, or I won't go easy on you.’
"Have you ever gone easy on me?" She didn't vocalize her thoughts and flashed a bitter

She had nothing to her name apart from the title of James Windsor's fiancee. She even
lost her stature as the second daughter of the Walters.
"She isn't worth it," he replied.
"But she's my mom," she blurted out and instantly witnessed the change in his
expression. Stumbling backward in fear, she said shakily, "I won't help her."
In reality, Rowena didn't need any of her help. Jolene was the one who needed to be
saved.
"Good to hearthat.' He stood up and prepared to go upstairs. 'Ifyou plan to come home at
this late hour, you might as well never come back."
Before he left, she blurted out her burning question, "D-do you still plan on marrying me?'
They were engaged with marriage set in sight. Right now, the Glasses were ruined, and
she also lost the backing of the Walters. Even her parents wanted a divorce. Jolene really
had nothing left. Her only concern was her coming marriage to James, and she shuddered
at the possibility that she might lose everything.
