Jaylene had been spoiled for over twenty years and had never been treated so poorly like this before. With just a few harsh words from Grace, tears welled up in her eyes as if she would burst out crying anytime.
Her comfortable bubble had finally burst, and she was forced to confront the real world.
Stella had experienced worse when she worked part-time as a waitress during college. Grace was not even being unreasonable, yet Jaylene still could not take it.
Aubrey came back soon after and said to Grace while holding her phone,” Mrs.
Esper, Mrs. Saun would like to speak to you.”
Grace was still angry and said coldly, “Who does she think she is? If she wants to speak to me, tell her to come here right now!”
Of course, Darcie could not come over at this moment because she was more than a thousand miles away.
So, Aubrey quickly put the phone on speaker, and Darcie’s voice came through.
“Mrs. Esper, it’s me. Aubrey has told me about the situation. I can’t believe the two girls made such a mistake. It’s outrageous.”
Stella’s eyelid abruptly twitched as she thought inwardly, ‘Well, now I know where Jaylene’s character came from. Like mother like daughter.’ Even though it was clearly Jaylene’s fault, Darcie made it sound like Stella also played a part in it.
