Ice and Fire novel Chapter 52

John didn't say a word, and he couldn't lay his eyes off of Cherry.

Jackson gave Jean an angry stare, and said, "Jean Shen, behave yourself! She's your aunt!"

Jean was too scared to speak when she saw Jackson's cold eyes, and realized that he was enraged, and that she couldn't provoke him any more.

Everyone stood by without uttering a single word. Lucia, Edwin, Andrew, the butler, all of them knew, but didn't say a word.

Silence reigned for a long time in the living room, but then Cherry suddenly broke it.

She turned to Jean, and in a plain voice, said, "Sister, don't you think that this is retribution for your sins?"

When they heard her, everyone looked at Jean. She was a bit embarrassed, and couldn't speak at first, but she eventually said, "Cherr…Cherry Shen, don't say such nonsense!"

"Isn't it retribution?" asked Cherry. She continued, "You robbed John from me, and now someone robbed John from you. If this isn't retribution, then what is?"

Jean began to be emotional, and cried, "How could she seduce John? She knew that I was John's wife, but she still did it nonetheless! That woman is a bitch! "

"You also knew that John was my boyfriend at that time, why did you lure him?" Although Cherry, as Jackson's wife, didn't want to mention of the past, she just couldn't when she looked at Jean.

Jean lost for words and paused for a moment, but then she replied, "Cherry Shen, even if I hadn't lured him, and you and John had been together for years, he still probably might not have loved you."

Cherry then immediately asked, "Does he love you?"

Jean didn't know how to retort, because John had said that he didn't love Jean at all.

Int he end, Jean kept her silence.

Cherry didn't think for a moment that she had won the battle. She also had dignity in front of Chu and Ye households, and as a person, Cherry wanted to protect herself even if no one protected her.

While she stared at Jean, Cherry said, "Always keep in mind that I am your aunt, and I can clearly tell you that John Ye and I have broken up a long time ago. I now love Jackson, and I am his wife."

Jean didn't know how to reply, and instead kept silent.

Jackson then held Cherry's shoulder, and he was delighted by her words and attitude. As long as Cherry loved him, he was happy. As for John, he was a thing of the past, and Jackson was certain that nothing happened between them now.

Jackson turned to John, and although he hadn't treated John very well, he still cared for him. After all, John had called Jackson "uncle" for years, and how was he supposed to leave him in his time of distress?

"How many people know about this?" asked Jackson.

When she heard his question, Lucia instantly knew that he wanted to help her son. She immediately answered him, "Just a few people, those around John."

John looked at Jackson and didn't say a word, but silence couldn't prove his innocence.

"Got it, I'll have their mouth shut, " said Jackson.

Andrew was very glad that Jackson wanted to help John, because the kinship between the family members was still strong.

Lucia and Edwin were also very delighted because they hadn't come in vain; as long as the Chu clan took action, everything would be fine.

In a low voice, John said, "Thank you, uncle Jackson, " but then he couldn't help but look at Cherry.

Everyone ignored Jean. Cherry's words still echoed in her ears, and Jean still didn't dare to say anything. If she did, Jackson might have thrown her out of the house.

Andrew smiled, and said to the butler, "Has the housemaid prepared lunch yet? Jackson and Cherry are also here, and rarely everyone is at home. Let's enjoy a reunion lunch, shall we?"
