The substitute bride is a mute novel Chapter 27

Judy immediately reacted and handed the bag she had been holding to Jenna. Clark had given her the bag before getting out of the car, and she had no idea what was inside.

In front of everyone, Jenna opened the bag and exclaimed, "I've been fancying this necklace for the longest time. Clark, how did you know!"

It was the latest design from Tiffany. The diamonds on the necklace sparkled brightly in the sunlight, clearly indicating its considerable value.

Judy was also surprised to see the necklace.

It was not unusual for Clark to be generous, but people couldn't help but wonder why he was giving his sister-in-law such a valuable necklace at their first meeting.

Matthew's expression was grim as he said, "Jenna, the necklace is too expensive. Quick, give it back to Clark."

"It's just a necklace. It doesn't cost that much," said Clark casually before he took Judy's hand and continued, "Judy picked it personally for you. She wanted to give you something as a sister, isn't that right?"

Being held by Clark who had an ambiguous smile on his face, Judy felt a chill run down her spine. She quickly forced a nod.

Jenna knew for sure that Judy hadn't picked the necklace. She assumed that Clark had made up that excuse so that Matthew would allow her to accept the gift. So, she felt extremely pleased.

Then, they all sat down to chat, mostly about some casual topics.

Judy sat quietly on the side while cutting fruits. Just as she was about to hand an apple to Clark, Jenna suddenly said, "Clark, you haven't seen my house yet. Let me show you around."

"Jenna."

"Oh, Dad, you always talk about business even among ourselves. It's so boring. I'll take Clark on a house tour." With that, she squeezed in between Clark and Judy to separate them and pulled him away while ignoring Matthew's calls.

Sister? When had Jenna ever truly recognized her as her sister except when she was putting on a show in front of others?

"You've not paid for what you did with the documents last time, so you better complete the task I give you now." Hearing this, Judy's heart dropped.

What was he going to ask her to do this time? She dared not provoke Clark again.

Suddenly, Matthew's tone softened as he said, "Judy, you're also my daughter. It's hard for me to see you suffer in the Reid family, so I'll help you establish yourself there."

She was slightly taken aback.

Looking at her, he handed her a paper package and continued, "As long as you get pregnant with Clark's child."
