In the kitchen, Judy was carefully arranging some snacks on a plate.
Suddenly, Jenna came in and said, "Judy, let me help you."
Judy's back stiffened, and she instinctively took a step back, keeping a safe distance away from her sister.
Jenna cocked her head to one side and looked at her, saying, "What's with your expression? Are you afraid that I'll eat you?"
"Don't pretend to be nice to me. Weren't you the one behind the news about me and Max?" She signed.
Although Judy had a mild temper, she was always clear-headed.
"What you did had nothing to do with me," sneered Jenna with her arms crossed. "With this incident, you should realize that you're not welcome in the Reid family. You're just making trouble for yourself by staying."
Calmly, Judy looked at her and explained, "It was you and Father who made me marry into the Reid family in the first place."
"Yes, that's right. But back then, I didn't know what kind of person Clark was. Now, it's clear that Dad has made a huge mistake. As his daughter, I should help him correct it," Jenna retorted.
"Then you should talk to Father about it," Judy gestured, her gaze firm.
If Matthew asked her to leave the Reid family, she would leave without hesitation. As long as it wouldn't endanger her grandmother's safety, she didn't want to stay on pins and needles in the Reid family all the time too.
However, Jenna misunderstood what she said, and her face fell instantly.
"Are you using Dad to pressure me? Who do you think you are? Do you really think Dad sent you to the Reid family because he valued you?"
Judy frowned. What kind of logic was Jenna's thinking based on? Had she become a fool after studying abroad?
Back then, they were the ones who despised Clark's ugly appearance but had to rely on the Reid family, so they schemed and pushed her into this pit. What did she mean by Matthew valuing her?
"Judy, let me tell you, I've set my eyes on Clark. The title of Mrs. Reid was originally mine. You better give up on him now or don't blame me for being heartless. I've been considerate this whole time!"
Considerate?
Glaring at Jenna, she wanted to argue back badly but didn't want to escalate the situation.
