“So what if I’m rude? What are you going to do about it?” retorted Xandra, not wanting to be outdone.
The two seemed to have forgotten where they were as they continued arguing with each other. This was made apparent since everyone else had already gone silent for some time.
“Brother!” shouted a crisp and clear voice which silenced the two arguing women.
After all, they knew who the voice belonged to. Both of them then turned to look at Jessica who was hurriedly walking toward them.
“Sister!” replied Gerald as he tried wiping the tea stains off his body.
“…Sister?”
Everyone there was immediately stunned. He called Jessica his sister? Was he really…
“Who did this? Who dared to humiliate the young master of the Crawford family? That person must have a death wish!” scolded Jessica in a frigid tone which sent chills down the spines of the other Crawford family members.
Xandra and Bethany themselves had their jaws wide open. Both of them simply couldn’t believe their ears.
‘…What? He’s… the young master of the Crawford family?’
“I… Young lady! I-I’m so sorry! I didn’t know!” said Xandra as she began vigorously shaking her head.
“So it was you! Get out of my sight!” growled Jessica coldly.
“I-I’ll leave right away!”
Knowing how much trouble she had gotten herself into, Xandra knew better than to linger around any longer.
