Dominant Boss: Call Me Hubby, My Dear novel Chapter 16

The next morning, while Jeanne was still sitting on the toilet bowl, she received Monica's call.

She answered, "Monica..."

"JEANNE! I'm losing my mind! Oh my god!" Monica's furious voice came from the other end of the phone. She sounded like she was suffering a meltdown and was screaming crazily.

"Dr. Jones made you mad?" Jeanne was rather calm.

"What? Don't even bring that man into this! He has nothing to do with this!"

"Then, what's wrong?"

"Jasmine, your little b*tchy stepsister! Did you know what she posted online?"

"What?" Jeanne furrowed her brows.

"She posted, and I quote, 'Thank you, Uncle Edward.', with a picture of that sapphire from last night! Oh my god! Is Edward Swan out of his mind?! He outbid Eden just to get the sapphire for Jasmine?! Ridiculous!"

Jeanne remained quiet. Something felt strange and it was not a comfortable feeling.

"I know I left earlier than you yesterday but I heard Edward... Fourth Master Swan wanted to give you the sapphire. I didn't even get to ask you about that and it ended up in Jasmine's hand?"

"I said no to the gift."

"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR GODDAMN MIND?!" Monica screamed. "I thought it was a rumor! That Edward Swan

doesn't react to women?!"

Jeanne had to move the phone away from the deafening scream.

"Now that Jasmine has that piece of stone, she'll show it off! She's already aggrandizing what Eden did for her before this and now with the stone from Fourth Master Swan, it'll only get worse!"

"Just let her do what she wants," Jeanne said without being concerned.

"Have you forgotten how that b*tch snatched your man? How did your father beat you up and toss you out of the house? If I were you, I would f*cking kill that b*tch!"

"Okay, calm down. I'm in the toilet. I'll talk to you later." Jeanne did not want to talk about Jasmine with Monica while sitting on the toilet bowl.

Dealing with Jasmine was only a matter of time.

"You're still taking a sh*t?! I'm dying because of this, I even feel like I'm having a period cramp!"

Jeanne could feel Monica's anger through the phone.

"By the way, Jeanne..."

Jeanne had a bad feeling rising from her heart.

"Do you want me to leak the news about the stone? I'll tell people that Fourth Master Swan gave you the stone but you don't want it, so he gave it to Jasmine. I'm sure Jasmine will surely be pissed and embarrassed by it..."

"I wouldn't do that if I were you. Are you trying to go up against Fourth Master Swan?" Jeanne stopped her friend's ridiculous thought.

Monica clenched her teeth tightly. If it could embarrass

Jasmine, she would take the risk.

"There was a crowd when Fourth Master Swan wanted to give me the stone yesterday, and who do you think is audacious enough to deny it today?" Jeanne reminded her friend.

Monica was unhappy with her friend dissuading her but her friend was right.

If Monica offended Fourth Master Swan, her family business might go out of business overnight.

Jeanne said, "It's not news that Jasmine is a b*tch, so let her have her way for a few more days. Don't worry, she won't end well and she'll get what she deserves."

"Jeannie, you have no idea how much I hate her. The thought of what she did to you back then gives me the urge to strangle her alive!" Monica said with gnashing teeth.

"I know. I have to go now. George is calling me."

Jeanne then hung up the phone. The moment she tapped on the screen, her lips curled into a smirk.

It was impossible for Jeanne to turn a deaf ear at what she heard from Monica. She did not expect Fourth Master Swan to give the sapphire to Jasmine.
