“I heard that the woman Mr. Lewis will marry is one or two years younger than Jessica. Whoops, I didn’t expect that Mr. Lewis still has a good appetite even if he is so old.”
“After the wedding, how should Danis call Miss Timothy? Grandma? She is a few years younger than him. Is it possible for him to call her grandma?”
“Mr. Lewis is worthy of being a literati. His demeanor is different from that of ordinary people! I deeply admire him!”
“Mr. Lewis, it’s a good thing to get married. Why do you look so down?”
“Madam Adeline, don’t be upset. You’d better prepare some medicine to replenish the kidney for Mr. Lewis. If there is any health problem in this area, then it will be a joke.”
Adeline’s expression became more and more ugly, and she couldn’t bear it in the end. She glared at the guest and yelled at him, “Watch your mouth! Did you think that I don’t know those things about your family?”
“Mom.” Jessica came to her with the wheelchair, slightly tugged her, and called her.
But Adeline was anxious. She threw away her daughter directly and raised her voice, “You are just an illegitimate child of the Brown family. You have no right to be complacent!”
Jessica slightly frowned and rubbed her eyebrows. A flash of fatigue and disgust came into her eyes.
When Salim heard this, he looked a little embarrassed, his eyes filled with gloom, “The old one in his seventies and eighties still hooks up with a girl younger than his granddaughter. The woman whose children have reached marriageable age still hooks up with another man. The whole family is in a mess!!!”
“What nonsense are you talking about?!” Regardless of Jessica’s obstruction, Adeline roared with flushed face in the bitter eyes of the guests, “Jason and I are innocent. Don’t sling mud at us!”
Jason was James’s father.
“If it weren’t the truth, what’s your rush? You want to set up an archway after being a bitch. Shameless!” Salim scolded with a sneer.
The guests seated in the Honour Hall looked in their direction and whispered something in groups.
Jessica’s smile froze on her face. No matter how hard she suppressed the anger in her heart, she couldn’t smile, “Mom, you go in first.”
“I...” Adeline looked angry.
But before she finished her words, she was interrupted by Jessica who looked ugly, “You are not feeling well, so go inside and have a rest. Don’t be too tired.”
“Now both the old and the young can yell at me!” Adeline grumbled with an angry face and walked into the Honour Hall, moaning and groaning.
Jessica took a deep breath and forced a smile at Salim, “My mother always speaks freely, so please don’t mind it.”
“Okay. I forgive her for you.” Salim kept his eyes on her, looking up and down.
“Thank you for being considerate.” Jessica said softly as if she hadn’t noticed his lechery, “But you have slandered my grandfather and my mother in front of so many guests today. What are you going to do?”
Salim snorted, looked askance at her, and disdainfully said, “Mr. Lewis is going to marry a twenty-year-old club lady who is pregnant. Didn’t he have respect for himself?”
