“No? You guys are going to be husband and wife soon and you’re not even angry that he’s clubbing with other girls?” “I mean I won’t marry him,” Jeanne said. “But…” “No buts.” Jeanne did not want to dwell on the topic. She switched the topic and said, “By the way, why are you in a club? You’re married. Shouldn’t you be a good wife and be with your husband at this hour?” “A good wife? The marriage between me and Finn is just on paper. We have our own lives,…

Jonathan was furious. To anyone in the Lawrence family, the company’s shares were much more important than life itself. How could he possibly give the share to an… an… outsider?! Later that day, Jonathan called Alexander to his study. The two of them stayed inside for a long time. No one knew what they were talking about. When Alexander came out of the study, the gloom on his face was as dark as the stormy clouds. Jenifer went up to him and asked, “Alex, what’s wrong?”…

When Jeanne brought George downstairs, she saw Jasmine in the living hall with a gloomy look. Her feelings went through a roller coaster ride in just one morning. She received the sapphire from Fourth Master Swan earlier and she was over the moon. She posted on her social media to thank her “Uncle Edward”, to show that she was a polite and grateful girl. She also used the chance to show off to her friends. Instead of Eden, the sapphire was worth a lot more when it was from Fourth Master Swan. It…

The next morning, while Jeanne was still sitting on the toilet bowl, she received Monica’s call. She answered, “Monica…” “JEANNE! I’m losing my mind! Oh my god!” Monica’s furious voice came from the other end of the phone. She sounded like she was suffering a meltdown and was screaming crazily. “Dr. Jones made you mad?” Jeanne was rather calm. “What? Don’t even bring that man into this! He has nothing to do with this!” “Then, what’s wrong?” “Jasmine, your…

Jeanne brought George back to the Lawrence family’s manor. Alexander arrived home first. Instead of going back to his room, he sat down in the living hall. Jenifer, Jasmine, and Joshua were there too. Jasmine’s eyes were red and puffy as if she had just cried a river. Jeanne ignored everyone and wanted to go upstairs with George. “HOLD UP!” Alexander bellowed. He was so loud that it felt like even the manor trembled. Jeanne turned around calmly as if she was not startled at all. She…

The charity ball ended with the last item in its new owner’s hands. Everyone started to leave the venue. Jeanne held George’s hand as they walked toward the Lawrence family’s car. Before she could get into the car, she was forced to a stop. Fourth Master Swan was standing in front of her, with his attendant, Teddy. “Ms. Lawrence,” Fourth Master Swan called her. His action caught a lot of attention. The line of cars coming to the entrance to pick up the guests was already long…

As the little incident settled down, it was time to move into the main event. The lights in the hall dimmed and a man got up onto the stage with a spotlight on him. “Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! On behalf of South Hampton’s charity organizations, I hereby thank you and welcome you to the annual charity ball.” All the guests automatically gathered around the stage when the event started. After a quick introduction, the emcee cum auctioneer started the main event of the night—the…

The conversation in the garden got so awkward that it got silenced. It was then a sharp scream came from inside the hall. Jeanne turned around. She had a feeling that something had happened. She strode inside swiftly. Fourth Master Swan watched her strode in and decided to follow her inside. In the hall, Jeanne saw her son, George, standing in the middle and was surrounded by people. When Jeanne strode over, George looked at her with a grievance. Jeanne was already wondering what took…

Holding George’s hand, Jeanne stood there and eavesdropped on the women’s conversation. She was not concerned by what the ladies said. George looked up to his mother and asked, “Are they talking about us?” Jeanne shrugged. She had learned to tolerate trivial matters but be strong when it came to taking revenge. She used to care about what people said about her but she got smarter now. “Come on, let’s go get you some desserts,” Jeanne said. George had a look at the chatty…

Back at the living hall, Joshua glared at Jeanne as she walked away. Displeased, he said, “Where are her manners? Dad talked to her and she didn’t even give a proper response.” Jenifer had a glance at her son. “Shush. Your sister just came back. Just give her some time to fit in.” “You’re still defending her? She insulted you yesterday. Did you forget that?” Joshua’s anger was obvious. “Enough.” Jenifer stopped her son from talking. Alexander was also displeased by…
