When Jeanne brought George downstairs, she saw Jasmine in the living hall with a gloomy look.

Her feelings went through a roller coaster ride in just one morning. She received the sapphire from Fourth Master Swan earlier and she was over the moon.

She posted on her social media to thank her "Uncle Edward", to show that she was a polite and grateful girl. She also used the chance to show off to her friends. Instead of Eden, the sapphire was worth a lot more when it was from Fourth Master Swan. It was a sign that she was accepted by the Swan family and it would boost her status in high society from now on.

To her surprise, while she was replying to all the praises and jealous comments, she suddenly saw something trending.

Someone revealed that the sapphire was originally a gift for Jeanne from Fourth Master Swan. Jeanne declined it, so Fourth Master Swan gave it to her.

In other words, she was picking up Jeanne's trash. What was worse was that she was flaunting the shiny stone a moment ago and now, the stone became her embarrassment. She had never experienced such a turn of events before.

The moment she looked up from her phone, she saw Jeanne. Her embarrassment made her think that Jeanne was mocking her with a faint smirk.

However, Jeanne did not even spare a glance at her. She was just walking with George.

Nonetheless, Jeanne knew what happened and realized that Jasmine was embarrassed online due to her own stupidity, which made her feel great.

"JEANNE! STOP RIGHT THERE!" Jasmine shouted.

Jeanne stopped and looked at Jasmine. "Are you not embarrassed enough? Do you want me to add fuel to the fire?"

"Who do you think you are, Jeanne?!" Jasmine lost control of her patience. Jeanne's words were the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Jasmine vented her anger out by shouting, "Dad threw you out of this house seven years ago! You're no longer a Lawrence! Do you think you're still the princess of the house? Do you think you're here because Dad wants you to come back?

"You're here because we're using you as a tool, a tool to exchange for more profits for the family! What exactly are you so proud of?"

Jeanne stared at Jasmine blankly. Even George was staring at Jasmine with a less friendly gaze.

The boy thought, 'As expected, everyone in the Lawrence family isn't a good person.'

"Is that so?" Jeanne barely reacted and did not want to care.

The nonchalance on Jeanne's face fueled Jasmine's rage. She shouted at Jeanne, "You're back because Dad wants you to marry that prick from the Locke family, Thedus Locke! Everyone in the high society knows that he's a piece of sh*t! He's a playboy and he never does anything good! No girl will ever marry him! The reason why Dad agreed to this proposal is because the wedding will bring us a huge sum of funding!"
