Deanna desperately hopes she is just letting her imagination run wild.
"What are you busy with, Mom? Do you need my help?" Jade maintains her sweet, understanding facade, but internally, she is reeling. She never expected to be rejected! She had planned to bid on a mountain of things she liked, having heard there will be numerous limited-edition jewelry pieces and designer gowns. She really wants to go, but her own allowance can barely cover one or two items. That is nowhere near enough. She wants more.
"Don't worry about it," Deanna snaps, her patience wearing thin. She stands up and heads straight upstairs without another word.
"Stupid menopausal hag. Throwing a tantrum out of nowhere. Keep it up and you'll age even faster," Jade mutters a vicious curse under her breath as she watches Deanna disappear.
She has no idea what is wrong with this old woman lately. One second she is smiling, and the next she goes off like a firecracker. It just proves that blood is thicker than water; a fake daughter will never truly be accepted, and Deanna might even be plotting against her. Now more than ever, Jade completely agrees with her mother Jovani's ruthless tactics. They cannot afford to show any mercy or harbor any illusions. They need to dispose of this woman as quickly as possible so that she and her mother can officially take over the Dennis family. When that day comes, she will be the legitimate heiress, and everything belonging to the Dennis family will be hers! The thought makes Jade's gaze darken with greedy malice.
Just then, Nikolai walks through the front door.
