Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 508

Only then did Jean realize what was going on. What did I just do? I can’t believe I forgot that we’re at Mom’s party now. I caused a scene, and I’m making a fool out of myself right now. These guests must think that I’m an idiot who’s embarrassing myself! Jean lowered her head to conceal her flushed face, feeling ashamed.

Before the party started, Jean had reminded herself to be on her best behavior and to stay away from any trouble. In the past, when she hadn’t gotten used to the life of the wealthy, she had often embarrassed herself in front of others. She knew that she had caused plenty of issues for the Fuller Family in the past years. After ruining their reputation for so many years, Jean had hoped that she could finally present herself in a better manner that would change the public’s opinion of her. She wanted others to recognize her as an elegant woman from a rich family.

However, the moment she saw Sonia, it was as if all of her elegance and generosity had been flung to the back of her mind. She completely forgot about the party and confronted Sonia, humiliating the Fuller Family once more. Jean felt like slapping herself on her face at the thought of what she had done. I hate myself so much! I hate that I can’t control my temper. I could have approached Sonia when she was alone, or confronted her after the party... Why did I have to act so recklessly?

“I’m sorry, Mom. I know that I made a mistake. I—” Before Jean could finish speaking, Rose held her hand up to stop her. “You shouldn’t be apologizing to me. I think you owe Sonia an apology. Why did you pick a fight with her? I want you to apologize to her now!” Rose barked in a stern voice.

“You want me to apologize to her?” Jean pointed at Sonia with disbelief written all over her face. Sonia didn’t want to look at Jean, so she simply turned away from the woman. Zane adjusted the watch on his wrist and said in a relaxed tone, “Madam White, Sonia is no longer the daughter-in-law you used to bully and step on.

She’s not related to the Fuller Family anymore, and she’s a guest invited by your family. How could you, a host, shame your guest in such a manner? Shouldn’t you be apologizing to her? Or... is this how the Fuller Family treats their guests?

“Of course not,” Toby uttered before he turned to Sonia. “The Fuller Family doesn’t practice such terrible manners and traditions.”

“Did you hear that? I want you to apologize!” Rose struck her cane against the ground as she gave Jean her orders. Jean had always been afraid of Rose, and her entire body trembled when she heard Rose shout. In the end, Jean turned to address Sonia in a resentful tone. “I’m sorry!” she hissed.

Sonia looked at her fingernails as she spoke in a calm voice. “You don’t have to apologize if you don’t want to, Mrs.

Fuller. Your insincere apology sounds like it was forced out of you—it’s almost as if someone’s holding a knife to your neck or shoving your head against the wall. I’m

genuinely afraid to accept an apology like yours. I’m worried that you might hold a grudge against me and pick a fight with me again in the future.”

“You—’’Jean’s expression changed when she realized that Sonia had exposed her actual feelings. Jean’s blood boiled and she was about to lose her temper at Sonia when she met Rose’s icy, emotionless gaze. Even Toby was frowning and looking at Jean disapprovingly. I wouldn’t be so nice to her if she weren’t my mother, who has taken care of me from birth.

When Jean looked at the identical expressions on both Toby and Rose’s faces, she realized that she had been defeated. “Get lost, you embarrassing creature.” Rose gave her orders without showing any consideration for Jean’s feelings.

Even Jean knew how much of an embarrassment she was. She was too ashamed to stay at the party any longer, and she didn’t need to look up to know that all of the guests were staring at her with judgmental gazes. With both her palms covering her face, she lowered her head and ran out of the hall. However, Sonia happened to be standing in Jean’s way as she ran out.
