Viona Hall’s eyes strayed to the broken jade bracelet and the bank card, and before she could say anything, Penny Brown had already swept her eyes to the ticking bracelet on her hand. A funny grunt, “Andrea, it’s not that we want to suspect you. Isn’t that the jade bracelet my mother gave you that you’re wearing on your wrist?”
Andrea Jones’ hand closed down.
“No, this … was a gift from someone else.”
Andrea Jones subconsciously glanced at Christina Sanchez, who had never said a word, and took a sip of her coffee, sweeping her eyes over Charleen Davis’ face before she let out a nonchalant ‘hmm’. “The bracelet Andrea Jones is wearing was made by my design studio. And … is from me.”
Lewis Brown and Penny Brown both froze for a moment at these words. So Neal Williams was the one who gave the bracelet?
Viona Hall looked at Andrea Jones with some disappointment, “Andrea, is this the person who gave you the gift that’s why you’re breaking off your engagement with our Lewis Brown?”
Christina Sanchez’s eyes also tightened up.
Sensing this, Andrea Jones glanced sideways over and bumped into Christina Sanchez’s eyes, and for a moment she didn’t know how best to explain.
In any case, she does stand between Neal Williams and Penny Brown …
“Caiyun, Lewis Brown is a good boy. It’s our Andrea son who is too tall for us.” Charleen Davis opened her mouth for her daughter, not humbled, elegant and decent. She pushed the bank card over, “I’m the one who failed to teach my daughter well, you can keep this money first, don’t mind. We will make up the rest as soon as possible.”
“Sweet Hui, what kind of words are you saying? Our family will definitely not want this money. The jade bracelet is also a gift I gave to Andrea, so naturally I can’t take it back. It’s just that Andrea can no longer be our family’s daughter-in-law, and I think it’s too bad.” Viona Hall said from the bottom of her heart.
Penny Brown spoke up from the side, full of smiles, but the words came out sharp as a sharp edge, “Mom, you still don’t see it? It’s all jade bracelets, they were given to her and she wears them like a treasure. She broke the ones you gave her long ago. Not rare!”
After her words, without waiting for Charleen Davis and Andrea Jones to take the lead in explaining, Lewis Brown had already opened up for them, “Sis, don’t say that, Mom and I both know Andrea is not that kind of person.”
Penny Brown grunted lightly, her eyes met Lewis Brown, sharp and strong, “Are you sure Mom knows what she is?” Lewis Brown, there are some things that only you know. Do you want to say it so that everyone can hear it, so that Mom and Aunt Jiang can also know what Andrea Jones is.”
Andrea Jones and Charleen Davis looked at each other.
And then, looking to Penny Brown, “Miss Brown, I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
Cynicism and sarcasm, every sentence is directed at oneself.
“You didn’t get it, but I did.” Suddenly, a sentence was inserted between the people.
That all-too-familiar voice made Andrea Jones’ body tense and her hand subconsciously clenched Charleen Davis’.
Charleen Davis also noticed that her daughter was out of place and turned her head to look over, only to find that the woman standing behind her looked slightly familiar.
“And this is?” Viona Hall stood up and looked suspiciously at the sudden appearance of the person.
Lewis Brown blushed, “Olivia Scott, what are you doing here?!”
“I’ll expose her. Tell all of you what kind of person she – Andrea Jones – really is.”
Olivia Scott’s finger, pointing straight at Andrea Jones.
It was like a wind-bladed sword that seemed to poke her in the heart all at once.
A sense of foreboding that was climbing. Her hands, trembling. The line of sight wavered, and Penny Brown’s expectant gaze could be seen.
“Don’t you make a scene! This is not an occasion for you to make a scene! If you have anything to do with me, it has nothing to do with Andrea Jones!” Lewis Brown was angry, and lest Olivia Scott say more, he yanked her to leave.
I wonder why they are involved with each other, for some reason. Moreover, it looks as if they are very familiar with each other. But, at this moment …
Andrea Jones is completely out of reverie.
The moment before the wound was lifted, she only wanted to take her mother and flee immediately. She could endure the contempt, spiteful, but, such a wretched moment, she did not want her mother to watch with her own eyes, with her suffering!
“Mom, let’s go first …” Not caring about etiquette, she pulled Charleen Davis to her feet.
“Andrea Jones, Lewis Brown!” Penny Brown followed suit, standing up, clutching her chest and calling out to them coolly, “What are you panicking about? What does Olivia Scott have to say that you are afraid to listen to? Or is … afraid to let us here listen?”
Viona Hall and Christina Sanchez looked at each other, confused.
“Olivia Scott, you can be completely at ease and bold here. Don’t worry, I can do it for you!” Penny Brown walked over and had snatched Olivia Scott out of Lewis Brown’s hands.
Andrea Jones is about to walk away.
“Since you’re an old classmate, is it so hard to stay and talk to me?” Olivia Scott turned her head to stare at Andrea Jones’ slightly distressed back, “Andrea, are you afraid I’ll tell you about the time you were gang-raped by a group of men six years ago in the backwoods?”
Lewis Brown quickly stepped over and held her in place.
“What … what gang rape?” Viona Hall asked, stunned.
Christina Sanchez also rose to her feet in excitement.
How could Neal Williams be interested in a girl of that stature? This is ridiculous!
“Olivia Scott, you’ve gone too far!” Andrea Jones gritted her teeth and stared at Olivia Scott, shaking all over.
“The reason I said so much is that I don’t want both Lewis Brown and Mr. Williams to be deceived by this surface of yours! Your past is actually dirtier than anyone else’s, so why pretend to be pure to deceive your aunt and the girls?”
“This lady, don’t talk nonsense! Our Andrea is the best daughter ever!” Charleen Davis retorted, grabbing her daughter’s hand and holding her firmly behind her, tears already in her eyes.
This kind of talk hurts Andrea Jones, but it hurts her even more.
“I didn’t! I didn’t! It’s not what you say it is!” Andrea Jones screamed, like a wounded beast. Trying to tell the difference for herself, but so much was going on, and it was hard to know where to begin to explain.
The scars of the past, she does not want to be lifted up at all. Especially, still in front of the two elders.
“Auntie, I’ve known Andrea Jones for many years. She was dropped from school because of that kind of thing that happened. I promise, every word I say is the truth and I am in no way lying to you.” Olivia Scott and Viona Hall assure.
Viona Hall stood there, unable to believe it. But the look on Andrea Jones’ and Charleen Davis’ faces clearly showed that it was true.
“Mom, Olivia Scott is her classmate and is definitely right. It’s a good thing we’re not really married yet, or our Lewis Brown family would be looking at a big loss.” Penny Brown took Viona Hall’s arm, quietly glanced at Christina Sanchez’s face again, and added, “No one’s family would be honored to find a daughter-in-law like that.”
“Caiyun, I remembered that I still have some things to do, so I have to go first.” The scene was a little awkward, and Christina Sanchez, as an outsider, really didn’t feel it was appropriate to stay here yet.
After carrying the bag and saying goodbye, he planned to leave.
As she passed Andrea Jones, her eyes swept over Charleen Davis, whose face was as white as paper, and fell back to Andrea Jones, dropping her words lightly, “Miss Jones, Neal Williams and you are not a good match. So, no matter what, I hope you choose carefully.”
The words, not lightly, but Charleen Davis also heard clearly.
Andrea and the Williams family second young master?
So …
The figure downstairs that night, was it Neal Williams?
The man who gave her the jade bracelet, was he also?
A stuffy breath came up in his chest, Charleen Davis face gradually lost the blood, the feet a weak, the whole person has fallen down.
“Mom! Mom! Don’t you scare me!” Andrea Jones held her mother to her feet, but she couldn’t stop her from falling.
“Auntie!” Lewis Brown reached out and grabbed an unconscious Charleen Davis in his arms as he instructed Andrea Jones, “Let’s get to the hospital right away.”
“Hmm.”
With Charleen Davis on her back, Lewis Brown walked quickly out the door. Andrea Jones took two steps out, remembered something, turned back around, and took her footsteps straight to Olivia Scott.
That look, stern and cold.
Such an Andrea Jones was something she hadn’t seen at all.
Heart a shock, subconsciously back a step. However, it is already too late …
“Pop–” a crunching sound, Andrea Jones raised her hand, a painful slap thrown in Olivia Scott’s face.
“How dare you … you hit someone?!” The searing pain hit Olivia Scott, causing her to scream out. One hand covered the swollen left side of her face, and one hand raised to slap back.
But, not before slapping Andrea Jones, another slap landed on the right side of her face again.
Crisp, loud and not at all soft handed.
This is …
Not only Olivia Scott, but all the people in the room were confused.
Andrea Jones bit her lip, stubbornly forcing the falling tears back into her eyes.
She stared menacingly at Olivia Scott, “The first slap in the face is to teach you what respect means!”
The hand hanging at his side, is trembling. Even the voice, it was trembling.
Every word that comes out is bitten extremely hard, as if it took all the strength in the body, “The second slap is to tell you not to speak up without knowing anything!”
After saying that, she turned around coldly.
Like a female strongman.
The body is taut and tense. Even if you are in a mess, however, you refuse to let yourself show a little weakness.
By the time Olivia Scott looked back, all she could see was the back of Lewis Brown and Andrea Jones walking together. Reluctantly, she screamed, “Lewis Brown, I’m pregnant! I’m pregnant with your baby!”
This time, Lewis Brown confused.
Andrea Jones was also stunned for a moment.
In the end, she didn’t ask anything.
Just say, “Leave my mom to me, I’ll call an ambulance.”
Lewis Brown refused to let go, only to continue striding out with her on his back, “Pay no attention!”
No matter how much Olivia Scott and Penny Brown called him from behind, Lewis Brown didn’t pause a step, let alone turn around. Stepping out of the restaurant, he glanced sideways at Andrea Jones, only to see that she was already in tears.
“Sorry, Andrea, I …”
“Don’t say anything, get my mother to the hospital first.” Directly cut Lewis Brown’s words off, but his voice had choked with embarrassment.
All the masks, by this moment, can no longer be worn.
The other side.
Olivia Scott’s words were like a bombshell that stunned both Viona Hall and Penny Brown, and Viona Hall’s shocked eyes fell straight to her not-so-subtle belly, “Miss Tong, did you just tell the truth?”
Olivia Scott covered her red cheeks with tears and nodded her head pitifully, “Well. I’ve been trying to get Lewis Brown to go to my maternity appointment with me, but, he always says he doesn’t have time.”
“Now you’ve done a great job of exposing Andrea Jones. Don’t worry, Lewis Brown won’t leave you alone, and you’ve got Mom to take care of that! Mom, right?” Penny Brown helped.
Viona Hall felt nothing but chagrin when she remembered the drama that had just taken place, and in front of Christina Sanchez.
What a disgrace!
“Yes, now they’re calling off the engagement. It’s good to cancel!” Viona Hall’s face is not good, look at Olivia Scott’s pitiful look, can’t help but frown, “This Andrea Jones also really don’t know the lightness, flat out hit so hard!”
“Mom, now you can see what kind of person she is, right? However, it’s useless for you to be clear, but the Williams family has to be clear as well.”
“The Williams family? I’m confused just listening to you guys. what does Andrea Jones have to do with Neal Williams?”
