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."
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."
