Chapter 38 Feeling Aggrieved

Chapter 38 Feeling Aggrieved

Rejoyla was still a bit vain, but after Ingrid's contemptuous look, she felt that she should cure Ingrid, who was always looking down on others just because of her family background, as if she was so noble. The money she was spending was not her own money. If she was really capable, she should earn her own money!

Rejoyla worked hard to support herself, and she didn't think Ingrid was in a position to look down on her. In her opinion, she was much better than Ingrid, who was completely dependent on her family's wealth.

Rejoyla and Ingrid got into a standoff.

Jason got impatient, "Since you don't want to apologize, then go talk to grandpa!"

Ingrid's eyelashes fluttered slightly. Yes, she still had her grandfather. She was Burton's own granddaughter, and Burton would help her for sure. So, Ingrid replied loudly with her chin held high, "I'm going to Grandpa right now!"

Hillary followed Ingrid hurriedly. She had to watch this fool in case she said anything that might be bad for her in front of Grandpa.

Rejoyla was about to follow when Jason looked at her, so she stayed where she was. Jason had just helped her, and Rejoyla always remembered the good things that people had done to her and forgot about the bad things that they had done to her. She had long forgotten about last night and smiled at him in a flattery manner.

Jason pointed to Paula, who was standing in the corner shivering, and told the housekeeper, "Fire Paula Thompson and tell the families we have contact with that Mrs. Thompson is a dishonest

employee and remind them to be careful when hiring her!"

Paula's eyes widened at once. Jason's statement was cutting off the possibility of her going to work for another rich family. Her son was waiting for her money. Paula lunged at Jason, "Young Master, I was forced to do this. I won't dare to do it again! Please forgive me this time!"

"Huh, that's your reason for framing others? Will you harm me in the future because you are forced by others," Jason raised a faint smile and urged the housekeeper, who was standing still, "Didn't you hear me? Get rid of her quickly. Do you want this job or not?"

The housekeeper did not dare to delay, and got some servants to cover Paula's mouth and dragged her out. Originally, he wanted to say something to Paula because they were kind of distant relatives. But Jason was really angry this time, so the housekeeper decided not to cause himself trouble.

Rejoyla looked at Jason, who was standing on the side without looking at her, and rubbed the ground with her f, "Thank you for today!"

Jason weighed the monitor in his hand and said, "I helped you and you sent me off with a thank you. Rejoyla, your gratitude is so cheap!"

Rejoyla quickly looked up at Jason and was startled by the light in his dark eyes. There was only one thing in her head - DANGER!

She replied cautiously, "You're so powerful. There's nothing I have that you don't have. What else can I do but show my gratitude? Saying thank you might not be expensive, but it's my true gratitude. I'll just keep your help in mind!"

"Huh, you're going to get rid of me once you've gotten what you want... Rejoyla, don't you know that Ingrid went to Grandpa... What if Grandpa wants to silence you?" Seeing Rejoyla away from him, Jason was displeased. Was he that horrible? He had helped Rejoyla several times. What was

wrong with Rejoyla's avoidance of him like he was a serpent? Shouldn't she have thrown himself at him? Why did she act so differently from the others? Sh*t!

"Oh," Rejoyla didn't really care. "Burton is Ingrid's grandfather. It's so reasonable for him to favor Ingrid. As long as he's not thinking of sacrificing me to save Ingrid's reputation, I don't care what story he will tell the others as long as he clears my name!"

Rejoyla was prepared for this. This was not the Lynn family. She was in the Sterling family now. And if she thought of herself as the same as Ingrid and compared herself to Ingrid and the other Sterling girls, she would sooner or later lose her mind and become a person she didn't even recognize.

So, Rejoyla thought it through. She never hoped for anything from Burton, so she didn't feel disappointed. Not to mention, to put it mildly, she was still earning a living under Brady, Ingrid's cousin. People had to compromise with reality. Even though she was an upright person, she couldn't keep it up when she ran out of food. As long as the Sterling family didn't touch her bottom line, she didn't want to fall out with them.

Hearing Rejoyla's words, Jason was completely furious.

"Ah... What are you doing?" Rejoyla looked at the dark-faced Jason in front of her and wondered what she had said that had annoyed this unpredictable man. Why was he looking at her with such a gloomy expression!

Rejoyla was pinned on the door and she pushed Jason, "Let go!"

"Rejoyla, Ingrid has her grandfather as her backer, but you also have me as your backer. Do you have to be so cowering? How could I let my woman suffer?" Jason pressed his forehead against Rejoyla's, and looked deeply into Rejoyla's eyes to make sure she understood who she was. Rejoyla tilted back, and she felt too much pressure to look at Jason's eyes. "They are your family. I am doing this for your good!"

'I'm not your woman! I have nothing to do with you!' Rejoyla shouted in her heart.

"Lair!" Jason unmercifully exposed Rejoyla.

"I..."

"Joy, are you in there?"

Rejoyla's pupils snapped shut and she covered her mouth in fear and shoved Jason, afraid that her voice would be heard by Jacquelyn outside the door.

"Go hide!"

Jason shook his head slowly.

"Joy, I'm going in!"

The door was unlocked!!

Rejoyla's heart thumped. Seeing that Jason really wasn't going to hide, she pushed Jason away and tiptoed herself into the closet. Just as she hid, Jacquelyn pushed the door open. She entered the room with a frown. But at the sight of Jason, she froze for a moment and stopped frowning, "Jason..."

'Wait, isn't this Joy's room, and why is Jason here?'

Jacquelyn looked around the room before not spotting Rejoyla. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"Jason, why are you in Joy's room? Do you know where she's gone?"

Jason leaned against the door and stared at Jacquelyn, "I don't know. Why are you looking for her?"

Well, Jacquelyn felt that his tone was like she was not as close to Joy as he was to Joy.

But Jacquelyn didn't think much of it, just assumed that Jason was mad at Rejoyla for what had just happened. Thinking that he was the heir to the Sterling family, Jacquelyn couldn't let him have a bad impression of Joy, so she put in a good word for Rejoyla, "That's right, Ingrid has just gone to confess her mistake with Burton. She was just out of her mind. Girls will inevitably have quarrels when they stay together. Usually, after a fight, the girls will have a better relationship than before! It's like boys like to fight, and their relationships will be strengthened after the fight. I'm looking for Joy so she can go up and make up with Ingrid. We'll still be a family later!"

Jason raised an eyebrow and finally looked at Jacquelyn, whom he hadn't expected to be such a woman. He was a little surprised. How did such a vain and selfish woman had raised Rejoyla, an upright girl?

Jacquelyn was a little uncomfortable with Jason's eyes, as if he had seen through all her dark schemes. But how could this be possible? Even though Jason was powerful, he was only a boy in his early twenties. How could he possibly be able to see through her? It must be that she was overthinking.

But she was also not willing to stay here to wait for Rejoyla any longer. Because being watched by Jason, she always felt inexplicably uneasy and afraid.

"Since Joy is not here, I'll look elsewhere. Jason, tell her to come upstairs when you see her!"

Jason did not respond, making Jacquelyn a little embarrassed. But she did not dare to get angry at him, so she left awkwardly.

After Jason waited for a while, Rejoyla still didn't come out. Then he heard the faint sound of crying. So he walked to the closet and pulled the door open. Seeing Rejoyla's eyes were red, he asked, "Are you crying?"

"No, I'm not!"

Rejoyla looked like a cat fluffed up and wanted to scratch at the sight of people. She said fiercely, "I... I just slept too late last night, and my eyes were dry. I was just rubbing my eyes!"

"Heh, Rejoyla, why's the point of acting strong in front of me? It's not like I haven't seen you in a mess before!" Jason pulled the girl out of the closet and took a few steps backwards to fall onto the bed.

Rejoyla was slightly lost in thought.

He was right. He had seen her at her worst. There was no need for her to pretend in front of Jason. With this thought in mind, the grievance in her heart kept rising. She pulled Jason's lapel and cried, which made Jason, who wanted to take advantage of the situation, find it hard to go further. He looked at his lapel drenched with her tears and felt that it would be too despicable to take advantage of her at this time.

Rejoyla complained as she cried, "I thought I had it all figured out and knew what was best for me to do. But... But she is my mother. She knew I was being wronged, and she helped the bully... I know what she's thinking. But, I'm just aggrieved, I just feel sad, sob..."

"Okay, okay!" Jason's eyelids twitched a little as he saw that Rejoyla was rubbing her tears and snot on his lapel. Rejoyla was aggrieved by Jacquelyn herself and intended to make him feel disgusted while she had the chance.

"You think I'm disgusting?" Rejoyla stared at him with tears in her eyes, as if she could cry at any minute.

Jason could only say against his will, "No!"

Rejoyla sniffled and lowered her head, then raised a smile. She then found that she had stained his shirt and was a bit embarrassed. She wiped her eyes and got up off Jason, grabbing the tissue on her bed and wiping her tears.

"I'll go up first. You'd better change your clothes."

No matter how aggrieved she was, she had to face what was coming. Jason looked at Rejoyla, who wore a sad but gallant expression, and looked down at the water stains on his shirt. Then he sighed, "I don't know what I've owed you!"

He got up and caught up with Rejoyla.

"You're not changing your clothes, huh?" Rejoyla looked at Jason with surprise. She knew how serious this guy's fetish for cleanliness was. How could he bear to wear such a messy shirt? Jason frowned with an impatient look on his face, "Who do you think you are? It's none of your business!"

This man was in a bad mood now. Because he was blaming himself for getting into trouble just because he couldn't see her crying pitifully!

'What a bastard!' Rejoyla thought to herself and ran a few steps upstairs, lest she wanted to finish this guy if she stayed with Jason any longer.

Knocking on the door, she was greeted by Ingrid's smug smile.
