NovelOnlineChapter 1394: 1394. Jasmine Churchill's "dark side of the moon" in her life "Have you made enough of a scene!" The Old Lady's scolding frightened Grace Gresia, who had previously been hysterical.
She was stunned for a moment, and as she saw the mocking glances around her, the muscles in her face twitched fiercely.
"Mom, stop making a fuss, my elder cousin sister-in-law really didn't bully me." Jasmine Churchill's tears were genuinely sad, which managed to calm Grace Gresia down.
"Then why were you crying like that when you cback from the main house?" Grace Gresia still didn't believe that Elly Campbell hadn't bullied her daughter; otherwise, why would she cry for no reason? Jasmine Churchill was somewhat annoyed by Grace Gresia's stupidity, thinking that it would have been enough to just accept the situation gracefully at that moment.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe scene was clearly not in her favor, yet she insisted on getting to the bottom of it. Wasn't she just setting herself up to be slapped in the face by Elly Campbell? Initially, she wanted to keep the peace, apologize to everyone, and leave the scene, but her mother kept pressing her about why she was crying.
Was she supposed to say she had pressured Elly Campbell to help her join the Jones Corporation and she cried because Elly Campbell didn't help? Jasmine Churchill secretly bit her back teeth, not wanting to answer.
"If the younger cousin sister doesn't want to tell, maybe I should inform your aunt." Elly Campbell spoke up with a smile, her nonchalant manner already enough to indicate the situation was not as Jasmine Churchill had depicted.
Jasmine Churchill's expression changed as she looked at Elly Campbell and said: "Elder cousin sister-in-law, it's just a trivial matter, let's just drop it. My mother is just hot-tempered, she didn't mean any harm." Elly Campbell sneered inwardly, thinking: your mother has a bad temper, so I deserve to be unjustly accused of bullying? A dream for you! Elly Campbell kept her composure and simply said: "Even though it's a minor issue, we are all relatives here, and if we let the aunt get the wrong idea, and rumors spread that the Jones Family looks down on poor relatives, what would be good about that?" Elly Campbell used the very words that Grace Gresia had said earlier to retort her.
It sounded as if she was imitating Grace Gresia, but this statement actually endorsed what Grace Gresia had said, implying that their family were indeed the poor relatives of the Jones Family.
Grace Gresia was too foolish to understand the implication behind Elly Campbell's words, but Charles Churchill and Jasmine Churchill certainly did.
The onlookers around them also understood and couldn't help but show amused expressions on their faces. Facing the gazes from the crowd, Jasmine Churchill felt a burning pain on her face.
If she continued to stop Elly Campbell from speaking, even if she managed to, others would still assshe was feeling guilty about being a wrongdoer, and it was only because she had failed to trap the thief that she didn't let Elly Campbell talk.
Jasmine Churchill, troubled by Grace Gresia's actions, found herself in a dilemma. Speaking out seemed wrong, yet staying silent was no better.
However, now that things had escalated to this point, it would be better for her to speak rather than having Elly Campbell relay her words. At least if she spoke herself, even when stating the facts, altering the wording could work more in her favor.
With this in mind, Jasmine Churchill was about to speak when Lily Jones said:
"You cto visit the Jones Family for no reason, was here, why everyonel run off to our main house?" Lily Jones was like the “bane” in Jasmine Churchill's life; whenever she spoke, Jasmine becafraid.
The plateful of food from back then was like a nightmare to her.
As soon as Lily Jones spoke, Jasmine lost her ability to think and blurted out: "I... I was feeling unwell and wanted to rest a bit." "Isn't there a place to rest in the banquet hall? If you were feeling unwell, why would you go that far?" Lily Jones always speaks bluntly and without giving face to those she dislikes, poking precisely where it hurts.
She had seen Jasmine Churchill coming out of the main house crying, and after doing the math, her brother had been in the main house just before that.
