Chapter 296 What Did She Mean by That?

When it came to Matthew and Leona, people around the town had a very good impression of them

After all, most people in the area had benefited from them in one way or another.

Jessica no longer cared what the neighbors might say about her.

She sat on the ground and stared at the Sanchezes. “As long as you give us 1,000 dollars every month, I won’t come here to make trouble again.”

She knew the entertainment industry made a lot of money, and since Scarlett from the Sanchez family worked in that industry, it would be enough as long as the Sanchezes gave her 1,000 dollars every month.

She was old, and the Sanchezes would not dare do anything serious to her.

She often used her age to behave shamelessly and cause scenes, which usually helped her get what she wanted.

She figured that even if 1,000 dollars every month did not work out, she could still squeeze something our of them, and even a few thousand dollars a year would be acceptable.

Now that her grandson had been expelled from school, he wandered around all day without doing anything.

She probably would never see her own son again, and she could not count on her grandson either, so she could only take advantage of the time while she was still able to move around and gather some money for her old age.

Hendrix spoke in a deep voice. “Jessica, stop thinking about it. We are not giving you that money.”

If he agreed to give her money now, it would only make Jessica push her luck even further.

She would demand more later, and if anything else happened, she might even refuse to leave the Sanchez family alone.

Jessica immediately began wailing again when Hendrix refused. “You heartless people are trying to force an old woman like me to death, and you are not afraid karma will come back on you!”

The neighbors stopped talking about Matthew and Leona and came over to try to calm Jessica down.

“Come on, Jessica, you are basically trying to scam them.”

“If you keep this up, we will have to call the head of the town committee.”

Scarlett stared at the old woman and carefully studied her face before saying calmly, “Old lady, the only people who will face karma are you and your grandson.”

Jessica heard that and did not think about it at all, assuming Scarlett was just cursing her.

There was no way she would tolerate Scarlett saying something like that, so she immediately pointed at

Scarlett and shouted.

“Aren’t you that Scarlett who messes around in the entertainment industry, you shameless girl, and you dare curse me, my grandson already told me about you, at such a young age, you entered the entertainment industry instead of studying, and how do people make money in that industry?”

“Isn’t it just by sleeping with men and selling themselves? Isn’t that how you earn your money? You are not even afraid of catching diseases, and you still dare curse my grandson and me, you rotten girl!”

Scarlett said calmly, “Spoiling a child is the same as ruining them, and when you grow old, you will have no one to rely on; your children and grandchildren will end up in prison.”

When Scarlett said that, the neighbors around them were stunned.

Some people did not understand what she meant.

Others thought she meant that the old woman was blindly protecting her grandson by causing trouble like this, which would only make things worse and could eventually lead him to prison.

It sounded reasonable because the Boone boy was already trying to frame someone else after hurting someone at such a young age, and if he was not disciplined properly, he might truly end up in jail one day.

“What did she mean by that?”

“Scarlett, what are you talking about?”

Some people asked curiously.

Jessica suddenly seemed to think of something, and her face turned pale before quickly twisting into a fierce expression.

She stopped sitting on the ground and stood up, pointing angrily at Scarlett.

You little bitch, are you cursing my grandson to go to prison? How can you be so vicious? Let me tell you something, my grandson will never go to prison, my grandson is doing just fine, and his life will go smoothly, and he will make a fortune!”

That line about children and grandchildren ending up in prison.

She vaguely understood what it meant.

Grandchild obviously referred to her grandson.

Was Scarlett also talking about her son and saying both her son and grandson would end up in prison?

Was Scarlett just talking nonsense?

Or did she actually know something?

Jessica felt a flicker of fear, but she quickly convinced herself that no one could possibly know about that incident.

Scarlett must have been talking nonsense to scare her.

Scarlett Mared at her. “You think I’m vicious?”

Pearls

Her gaze turned cold and unsettling, and the words she spoke next made everyone’s hair stand on end

“The most vicious person here is you?

She looked straight at Jessica and continued. “How did your daughter–in–law die, have you already forgotten?

Jessica stared at Scarlett in disbelief.

Her face went deathly pale, and her body began to tremble.

She could not understand how Scarlett knew.

How did she know about what happened in her family?

Did Scarlett recognize her?

No, that was impossible. She had lived under a different name with her grandson for more than ten years, and no one had recognized her, not even the people who registered her documents more than a decade

ago

There were no relatives from the Boone family living anywhere nearby.

Her grandson could not possibly know about it.

The people in the town certainly would not know either.

Scarlett had to be making things up, and there was no way she could truly know.

The neighbors around them reacted with surprise.

They soon realized Scarlett was talking about Jessica’s daughter–in–law. Jessica is always saying that her daughter–in–law ran away with another man. She used to complain about it all the time, and it made us all hate that woman.”
