Jeanne walked upstairs silently.

Jasmine and Jenifer stared at her as she brought George upstairs.

The subtle scoff that she made when she walked past them entered their ears clearly.

Vexed, Jasmine asked, "Did she just scoff at me?"

Jenifer was not surprised. "It's a tale of the fox and the grapes, and she's the fox. If it wasn't for you, she'd be the one enjoying all this."

Jasmine felt better with her mother's consolation.

Compared to her own wedding, Jeanne's wedding was the biggest joke in South Hampton and it was indeed the fact.

On the second day, when the press released the news of Jeanne and Thedus' wedding, it stirred up a whirlwind of rumors in the city.

The news surprised everyone because no one thought she would agree to marry Thedus. She was once the princess of the Lawrence family and despite her decline, she was still a well-known name in the city She was known as the most beautiful girl in high society back then and her pursuers could surround the earth twice.

Even if she had fallen off her throne, she should not have agreed to marry such a man.

Jeanne was brushing her teeth when she received the news and it was Monica who informed her.

Monica sounded agitated on the other end of the phone. She shouted at Jeanne, "What are you thinking?! How the hell did you agree to marry that b*stard Thedus? Don't you know he got into prison before? "The press didn't make him the headlines because the Locke family has spent a fortune to cover up the news and they told the public it was an accident! That b*stard Thedus tortured that prostitute to death that night and yet he's able to come out unscathed! He should thank his dear daddy and his family's wealth, or else he'd have been given the death sentence!"

Jeanne clamped the phone to her ear with her shoulder as she continued to brush her teeth.

"And you! You're going to marry a murderer? Jeanne, you should've stayed away and not come back to belittle yourself like this," Monica said. There was an obvious sob in her tone. Jeanne wiped her face and said, "I'm fine, Monica."
