Jessica's face darkened, and she asked with a cold voice, "Who are you calling an old lecherous woman?"
Brittany pointed at Avery in the photo and replied, "Her! Don’t you think this old woman is an old lecherous one? I could tell just by looking at her!"
"Are you implying that when I reach her age, I'll also be an old lecherous woman?"
Jessica's question caught Brittany off guard. The quick-thinking Brittany immediately noticed something: the "old lecherous woman" in the photo bore a strong resemblance to Jessica.
Brittany hurriedly rephrased her statement, asking, "The beautiful lady in the photo, do you know her, Jessica?"
"That's my mother. Do I know her? Yes," Jessica responded dryly.
"I'm so sorry, Jessica! I didn't know that was your auntie! It's all my fault! She definitely isn't an old lecherous woman, and I'm sure she hasn't kept anyone."
"What did my mom say when she took Daniel away?"
"Umm..." Brittany hesitated, then shook her head. "Nothing! As soon as Auntie told the country bumpkin to get in the car, he just did. He didn't dare to say 'no'."
"Alright, get out!" Jessica dismissed Brittany and promptly dialed Avery's number.
"Jessica, what is it?" Avery's voice came from the other end once the call connected.
"Did you take Daniel away?"
"Yes."
"What for?"
"Of course, to teach him a lesson in how to behave!"
"You'd better not mess around, or you might end up regretting it. Who knows, he might teach you a lesson instead."
After giving her mother a warning, Jessica hung up the phone. She knew well what Daniel was capable of. If her mother tried to mess with that idiot, she was sure to lose out.
Still, Jessica was somewhat concerned, so she sent Daniel a text message. "She's still my mother, after all. Teach her a small lesson if you must, but don't go overboard."
"Honey, aren't you afraid your mother-in-law will bully me?"
"Quit it! Who's going to bully you?"
