Chapter 19 New Look
If they let it pass to please the old man, Rejoyla would be totally discredited in this house. Even her mother didn't care about her reputation. How would the others do? But if they didn't accept it, not only Nick and his family would be offended, but Burton also would be annoyed. It might make Jacquelyn's life even harder. It remained to be seen whether Jacquelyn was willing to confront them or sacrifice her daughter.
Rejoyla was usually quite naive, but she had worked for a few years and wasn't completely ignorant. She immediately figured out what was going on. The mockery in their eyes could be ignored, but she couldn't turn a blind eye to Jacquelyn's difficult look.
Rejoyla sighed. No matter how much she hated Jacquelyn, Jacquelyn was the one who had given her life. Jacquelyn hadn't left her or sold her at the most desperate time. Instead, Jacquelyn had nursed her to adulthood. So, she couldn't see Jacquelyn being laughed at by everyone. In the end, she decided to swallow her pride and let it pass. After all, from the time she followed Jacquelyn to this place, she had lost her dignity.
"I..."
"What are you guys all gathered here for?" A low, elegant voice drowned out Rejoyla's faint voice.
The familiar voice made Rejoyla's heart skip a beat. Her eyes, which were looking down, immediately glimmered with delight. She couldn't help but look up, but when she saw who was standing there, she covered her mouth in shock.
"Jason, what happened to you?" Burton trembled on his crutches and went to Jason's side. The sternness he had shown Rejoyla turned into concern.
Rejoyla stared at Jason unblinkingly, her hand still covering her mouth. His face was covered in bandages!
