"Okay, " nodded Cherry. She knew that Jackson loved his Grandpa very much, and that the elderly Andrew needed the care and company of his close relatives. She understood Jackson's thoughts.
"Let's go and get ready to go out, " said Jackson, as he touched Cherry's face.
"Okay, I'll go and get changed, " said Cherry, and quickly left.
After they were ready, Jackson drove with Cherry to the shopping mall.
In the luxurious high-class villa, Mond sat on the sofa and looked at Sally and Stephen next to him. Jean was also standing there, behind him.
"What are you going to do about the party?" asked Mond.
Sally stared straight with a hateful look in her eyes, and said, "Jackson and Cherry will definitely go to the party, and so will Derek and Selina." Sally paused for a moment, and continued to say, "Let's start with the child."
"No, " immediately declined Stephen. "Our target is Jackson, not an innocent child."
Sally looked at Stephen furiously, and said, "He isn't innocent, because he's Jackson and Cherry's son!"
"Why does it matter that he's Cherry's son? After Jackson and Cherry got married, you should have known already that they would eventually have a child together, " said Stephen.
Sally looked at Stephen even more irately, and retorted, "I wasn't here at that time, but if I was, I wouldn't have let them hold the wedding ceremony in the first place!"
"It's meaningless to talk about the past now, " suddenly said Jean, who was standing behind Mond. "Sally, if you truly had the ability, you should have made Jackson your man five years ago. Do we still need to talk about this?"
"Jean, is it easy for you to say that? Do you really think that I didn't want to do that?" Sally roared at Jean. She hadn't regarded Cherry as a normal person for a long time, and no one thought that Jean was innocent, because she had been pulled out of that place by Mond. Even John might have felt disgusted by her if he saw her.
"Oh, you can only blame yourself for being useless!" said Jean with a disdainful expression on her face, but without looking at Sally anymore.
"You..." Sally stood up furiously and wanted to give her two hard slaps across the face. She thought, 'How dare this bitch criticize me?'
"Sit down, " suddenly snorted Mond, as he cast his gaze on Sally. She had always been unable to hold her temper, and maybe that was because her childhood was worry-free, and that she still hadn't grown up yet, even though she had gone through some hardships herself.
Seeing that Mond was irritated, Sally slowly and silently sat down on her seat.
Mond then glanced at Jean, after he saw Sally quiet again, he said to her, "If you want to stay here, then shut up."
