Chapter 6 Good News
Jacquelyn was just doing this for her two daughters. Not to mention Jenifer who was studying abroad, it was time for Joana and Rejoyla to get married. If they could live in the Sterling's, their status would improve a lot. Moreover, Burton promised to fix someone up with Rejoyla and Joana. The men introduced by Burton must be tall, rich, and handsome, and Joana and Rejoyla would have someone to rely on for the rest of their lives, so Jacquelyn would never allow Rejoyla to ruin her plan.
"Cut the crap. You must come with me. Go on a blind date tomorrow. I've already chosen a good man for you."
"What? I'm not going." Rejoyla firmly disagreed and she didn't expect that Jacquelyn had already planned this.
"No matter whether you agree or not, you have to go as I arrange," snapped Jacquelyn.
Joana, who was eating lychee on the other side of the sofa, spat out the shell and echoed, "That's right, Mom. You really should discipline her. She didn't come home last night. I don't know if she went to get a room with a man. I asked her but she didn't give me any response."
"Heaven alive!" Jacquelyn exclaimed and grabbed Rejoyla by the collar. "Where did you go last night? Who did you go out with? Did you do that thing?"
Rejoyla shook Jacquelyn's hand off her collar. Fortunately, Rejoyla had covered the marks on her body with foundation and was wearing long-sleeved shirts and trousers. Otherwise, her secret would have been revealed. However, Rejoyla did not dare to expose her skin for a long time. After all, a shrew person like Jacquelyn might find something wrong. "I met a classmate from primary
school at the wedding yesterday. We haven't seen each other for many years, so we talked all night." © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Jacquelyn's furious face stiffened. She asked awkwardly, "Who is it? A man or a woman? Do I know that person?"
Rejoyla squinted at her with a faint smile.
Jacquelyn opened her mouth but couldn't utter anything.
Joana glanced at Jacquelyn and Rejoyla, spat out a lychee seed, and walked up to pull Rejoyla up from the sofa. Then, Joana changed the topic and said, "You must go to the Sterling's with me. I'm afraid of being alone."
Rejoyla retorted discontentedly, "The Sterling's is not a dangerous place. What are you afraid of? Let go of me! I don't want to go with you."
Jacquelyn grabbed Rejoyla's other arm and turned to order the butler who had been following her. "Underwood, pack up the things of the young ladies."
"Yes, Madam Jacquelyn." The meticulous and dignified middle-aged butler was always less talkative. After hearing the order, he began to work with his two subordinates behind him.
The servants of the Sterling family were all professionally trained and capable. The three of them soon packed up the things according to the list provided by Jacquelyn. After all, the Sterling family was in lack of nothing. Jacquelyn planned to buy some new outfits for her two daughters. Anyway, Burton gave her an unlimited credit card. Of course, she would spend the money on her daughter. Otherwise, why would she marry an old man like Burton?
Rejoyla, who had been dragged to the Sterling family by Jacquelyn and Joana, still could not wrap her head around the fact that she had moved into the Sterling's. Fortunately, Jason didn't live in the
old house of the Sterling family, so Rejola wouldn't meet him in a short time. What was more, even if she met him, there were people everywhere in the old house, and she didn't believe Jason would dare to act recklessly. At that thought, Rejoyla was relieved.
Rejoyla had had wild sex with Jason the day before, and now she was still in pain, so she took three days off. After all, the identity of Brady's aunt did help a lot. The supervisor, who had refused to give Rejoyla a leave and wanted to deduct her attendance, immediately spoke gently to her and even showed concern for her after receiving a call from the leader.
Rejoyla lay on a chair by the swimming pool and enjoyed the cream puffs, rose crisps, and chocolate cakes made by the Sterling family's cooks, which were comparable to those made by the chefs in five-star hotels. The gold-patterned rose white porcelain cup was filled with top black tea. Rejoyla took a deep breath to enjoy the tea. It smelled like orchids and honey. She had only enjoyed such good tea when she was with Jason, and she really missed it.
"Does it taste good?"
"Cough! Cough! Cough!" Rejoyla choked and patted her chest with a withering look. Jason was wearing a light gray knitted shirt and blue casual pants, standing next to her with a beaming smile. A gust of cold wind blew, and Rejoyla's face was full of depression. She complained silently, "Jason would not come back even once a month? Nonsense!"
"Aunt, are you all right?" Jason asked worriedly. He took two steps forward and patted Rejoyla on the back.
Rejoyla widened her eyes in horror, and a chill went down her spine and spread to her whole body due to Jason's touch. It was midsummer in July, but she felt so cold that her teeth chattered. She thought to herself, "Could it be that I'm dreaming? How would Jason be so gentle and nice?"
Jason gave Rejoyla a smile that was very pleasing in the eyes of others, but an eyesore in Rejoyla's. "Aunt, hurry up and go to the living room! Grandpa has good news to announce in a while." After that, he left without looking back.
The Sterlings who could come today were all present in the living room.
