“How dare you scold me?”
Aylin glanced sideways. “I didn’t say who it was. You like to take it personally. It seems that you know it too.”
Haleigh’s chest heaved violently, and her face turned pale.
She couldn’t speak for a long time, That ex-wife had a way with words, and she was not an easy person to deal with.
Jacquelyn narrowed her eyes slightly. It was time for her to make a move.
“Ms. Aylin, please don’t judge a person by your own standards,” she said with a faint smile. She looked elegant, but her eyes were filled with disdain.
Aylin was wearing a gown like a waitress.
Therefore, Jacquelyn naturally regarded Aylin as the head waiter of the restaurant. “I can understand that with your identity and knowledge, you probably can’t imagine our life. In fact, we don’t care much about the price. If it’s not that we’re afraid of wasting the food, it’s not a big deal to order all of your dishes.”
What she really meant was that a country bumpkin like Aylin had never seen the life of the upper class, so she should not interfere.
She sounded gentle and polite, but she was actually being sarcastic.
Only then did Aylin notice Jacquelyn’s meaning behind her words and she raised her eyebrows slightly.
It had been a long time since anyone dared to provoke her in such a harsh way, and it was still the kind of sarcastic tone she hated the most.
“Who are you?”
Aylin looked indifferent.
How dare a head waiter be so arrogant!
Jacquelyn tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, inadvertently revealing the Louis Vuitton high-set bracelet on her wrist. “My father is the president of Nirvana Filmworks. My name is Jacquelyn.”
Haleigh interrupted proudly, “She’s still my future daughter-in-law!”
Future daughter-in-law?
Aylin snorted in her heart. It turned out that Jacquelyn had been hooked up with Gavyn. No wonder why she was full of pride.
“You know, Gavyn told me about you.”
Jacquelyn covered her mouth and smiled as if Gavyn had said something private to her. She stretched out her hand and said, “Thank you for taking care of Gavyn for me before.”
Aylin had no intention to reach her hand at all.
She could tell at first glance that Jacquelyn was a pretentious woman, but her rank and status were higher than Laila’s.
She was in a bad mood and didn’t want to bother to deal with Jacquelyn.
“I don’t shake hands with outsiders.”
Jacquelyn was not displeased at all when she was rejected. She withdrew her hand with a smile. “Actually, I have some in common with you. We have a mutual friend. Laila and I were good friends in middle school.”
Hearing Laila being called a “good friend” made Aylin extremely disgusted.
“Oh.”
She glanced at Jacquelyn and smiled. “It’s normal. Birds of a feather flock together.”
Jacquelyn’s smile froze.
She hated Aylin’s beautiful face, and now she hated her even more for the way she looked down on others and didn’t care about anything.
Initially, she wanted to see Aylin become furious like a crazy shrew.
However, no matter what she did, she was always refuted by the opposite side, and she couldn’t find a way out.
Ever since Aylin got divorced, Haleigh was not in her favor. At this moment, Haleigh was afraid that her new daughter-in-law would also be rebuked, so she hurriedly helped.
“Jacq, ignore her. Don’t lose your appetite because of her.”
She then continued, “Isn’t there still VIP treatment here? I remember that Joe personally served you food last time. A cheap woman wouldn’t understand this kind of atmosphere.”
Haleigh winked at Jacquelyn, trying to brag intensely that her face looked calm.
Jacquelyn received Haleigh’s signal. Although she felt that Haleigh was exaggerating, she must not look timid in front of Aylin, so she nodded with a smile.
Haleigh looked at Aylin insolently. “Not everyone can have the treatment of being served by the chef himself. Some people may not even have a spinach in their life.”
